The darkness of the art with the bright gold border is kind of an eyesore. Hopefully better in paper. She sure has a lot of words in every ability- +'s many modes is neat, and I'm glad she can't do a port impression anymore. Brutality is cool but all those modes are pretty weak, -2/-2 on a...

I don't hate condemned. There is a mild amount of incidental tribal but I think it's not quite there on its own. I'll have to check my vampire levels. Pretty neat- upgrading a bunch of crappy plant tokens and elves into a threatening army is cool.

Neat enabler- instant certainly helps. Old art:

Eternal Scourge You may cast ~ from exile. When ~ becomes the target of a spell or ability an opponent controls, exile it. Meh. GUNDAM WOLF ahahaha what am I looking at? Scary with turn 1 elf/bird I think it's closer to order because it's much more flexible. "X+2 or less" is way...

Woooah awesome small natural order for every color, and not as busted? Sign me up!

Kinda odd that they decided on an etb trigger for G&G instead of cast- as-written they can be killed with the trigger on the stack and you get nothing :( Bloodhall priest just rubs me the wrong way, it doesn't seem like a card the tribal deck needs. Trigger isn't really powerful enough for you...

uhhhh

This thing seems pretty strong... a single equipment or pump spell leads to a significant upgrade... front strike on the front side really makes it. (EDIT: Ojutai's Command wombo combo- just be sure to use it at the end of their second main so the trigger makes it!) Much more exciting / fun...

That's pretty cute that he turns them all into/makes delvers. In the latest "inside magic" or whatever the youtube interview series is called, they talked about a 'scale of eldraziness,' one being an ordinary citizen, five being full-on tentacle monster. I imagine when you get that far you've...

Thalia's promo art really lost me on her face- at least the low-res images we have make it look pretty bad. Pack art is great and I'm glad for it. This is... interesting. We get this effect so rarely. Anywhere unsummon is good enough or close this has to be gas, right?

Does battlements just beat out flamekin village for always being untapped? Cool way to "color-code" colorless eldrazi without the heavy-handed derp that was devoid. Very interested to see what comes out of this mechanic (pun intended). I don't hate this card, feels like white into the roil...

Boring in function but acceptable power level and fits in many archetypes (stompy/little kid, graveyard-value, RUG/UG spells etc) without having to groan about playing it. It's not exactly a flashy or impressive card but it does what it does well and for the right cost. It's got that...

I know it isn't a spoiler, but I still thought this was a cool tidbit from the 'design process of emrakul' article: Incurable (This can't be exiled, returned to its owner's hand, or put into a library from the battlefield) "Incurable was an early idea for a mechanic that could be a different...

The set symbol watermark made me think she's the release promo, since the buy-a-box promos have been using the 'array of mana symbols' watermark while the launch promos get the set symbol for years (and I just recently saw an OGW buy-a-box dark-dwellers, which used the same), but it seems they...

Why is this blue?

It begins! Source

Necrotic Ooze that you have to work for? I've never seen that card though.

Gotta sell those EMA packs. Not even kidding, all of the articles related to EMA mentioned cube- that spoiler season was more cube talk from wotc than all I've seen from them combined. Personally I find the "archetypes this card is for" lists silly. Duskwatch recruiter is for GR and GW aggro...

I still don't really get {C}'s identity- a lot of the cards seem green/black in effect, or are just "exceptionally powerful creature because colorless mana sucks, right?" In eternal formats especially it's a real headache for stated reasons of being rewarded for playing lands that are normally...

How did I miss that Seal of Strength art? GIANT DEER Also I don't hate the flavor text.
