Sets [FRF] Fate Reforged spoilers

What was the panel even about? They showed a few cards (ghostfire blade, briber's purse, smite the monstrous) with new art and the rare/promo sticker at the bottom, but they had Khans set symbols at their same rarities. What was the deal with those?
The green legend is sweet. Here's hoping for more hybrid!

Huh. A five mana black wrath you say?
I suppose these are more sneak peeks than anything else. So the time travel thing seems more to be like some sort of looking-back magic where sarkhan makes some decision rather than tardis travel. Alternate time lines sounds cool.
I have a feeling that the Ferocious ability is going to improve with this set.
FNM promos perhaps?
I still think it is time travel. I'm pretty sure the Crux of Fate flavor text is referencing this
Ok. Please be a sign that there are lots of charm-style cards floating around. I love those things.

Oooo hadn't seen that yet!
I think C1 is a bit too much to pay to protect a creature, but psudo-reprisal might make it good enough.
I dunno, I could never get people to pay 1 mana to protect a creature, let alone 2

There's the destroy all dragons or all non-dragons card as well. Seeing as this is the set where Sarkhan gets to choose what fate will befall his world, I find a subtheme of cards that offer two choices highly thematic. Job well done a Wizards!
Agreed. Charms with two modes--where one mode is basically the opposite of the other--that have flavour text reinforcing the idea of choosing between fates are just so damned on theme. I can't remember the last time I got excited for a small second set, but I'm pretty stoked.

So, Abzan watermark, so clans are still a thing (as expected), but with a new keyword. I did not expect new keywords for all of the clans, but surely they won't include 10 keywords in a small set?

I love me a good +1/+1 counter mechanic (of which outlast itself is not)
7 mana is probably too much, even for 10 total p/t, but I'd love to see cheaper versions of this guy.
Ooo! Can we get a white 2/1 for 2, bolster 1?

10 power for 7 mana is nothing special. Armada Wurm is way better. Being monocolored doesn't justify paying an extra mana for a weaker card.
It's also only a rare where armada wurm is a mythic. Bolster is a neat mechanic, can't wait to get super-valued by some kitchen finks nonsense.
Sure, for

Pfft you need a 1 drop and it ALWAYS goes on your smallest creature. I think that's doable. Look at the 2 cost bloodthirst/raid guys, similar restriction

I don't think you need another creature, if you don't have another creature, then the bolster dude gets the counters.
It's not? I think it's 'wheelable' removal for aggro decks- kills blockers while being ineffective against their own creatures, and counters removal or gives partial wrath protection. Kind of like how an aggro deck wouldn't normally take condemn.
