I can't imagine very many situations where I would be happy playing Pieces of the Puzzle over Compulsive Research. Augur of Bolas is the poster child of feel-bad card selection, and I don't think digging 5 cards and dumping the rest is really going to do it for any deck other than reanimator, who may well be using enchantment-based and creature-based reanimation, anyway. Total pass.

Also, the way this is going, it looks like there might not be flashback in this set? That makes me pretty sad.

Nice. They thought of the bounceland interactions ahead of time however by making it cost 5 and untap 2: still a very explosive draw spell though.
Probably red because vamps are tribal RB on Innistrad. Why a 1/3? no clue. In monoblue, i'm a fan of
but agree that we could use some more depth to the primary color of prowess. Also jeskai elder is in the same ballpark as this, but a looter

WotC has finally realized that they can't make red all aggro all of the time in limited and is finally giving it a few creatures with bodies made for blocking. Few seemed to cry foul with Whirler Rogue or Eldrazi Skyspawner when the conventional wisdom is that blue is the color with the weakest creatures.
I was just looking at that, and wondering if prowess 1/3 might be cubeable. I know Jeskai Student isn't really a card, but the bar for red two-drops is a bit lower. Frostburn Weird has been a thing in red for a while, but this might be more exciting, even if it's not actually strictly better.

Compelling Deterrence is the kind of tribal I like!
Topplegeist looks really cool. Cmon spirits! Tallowisp wants some friends!
Excited about SoI!

Agree, an excellent design. I find myself excited! Look at this unique angle that white is offered
. Tying white to having things in your graveyard? A controlling card that's not a 2-3 drop enchantment, but still works for your board as whydirt points out? Think this is perfect for helping white gain a deeper meaning. Working with green and black, gaining value on those colors building a GY and helping a board build and damage get through. Love it. working with blue's natural ability to put it's spells in the yard, buying time and providing some early push. LOVE IT.

I have sifted through the spirit crap enough times. If I remember correctly there are like 20 bad ones to every bearable one. And the captains all suck except for the one which gives all spirits hexproof and that kills interaction. I kind of hope they don't make a good captain yet, there is so much else I want to spend my time doing.

I love that the reaction to topplegeist on MTGS was "I'll just play citidel siege if I wanted this kind of effect"
