General [TLA/TLE] [UB] Avatar: The Last Airbender

We won't get 30+ Aangs I hope. But I don't mind getting a few different versions of key characters, especially in UB sets. Just makes it more likely to find a fitting one for any given cube. If there was only one Toph, it would probably be too powerful and I couldn't cube my favorite character. Now we got four versions and one is an actual good fit for the CCC.
 
What is the difference between the two set symbols?
Who is the least legendary creature in all of Magic?
It’s Aang or Spider-Man yes?
There’s only one instance of her being a creature, but there are 21 cards for Chandra.

I’m not sure, but it looks as if Ashling and Squee are the creatures with the most unique cards, at 4 each (though Squee also has a Vanguard card).
 
Who even likes these "source material" cards? Even when they choose less ridiculous images, it just looks weird to have rules text with black outlines hovering in the weirdest spots.
It's a mixed bag. TV stills like Spongebob / Avatar all look pretty awful to me (and I love Avatar). Cruel Tutor looks especially bad with the closeup on Ozai's face. I really should've been Ozai walking up to Zuko while Zuko was on his knees during their Agni Kai.

As far as source material cards goes, all the Final Fantasy ones featuring Yoshitaka Amano's work are all bangers in my book. There's also some Spider-Man ones that I really like.

The two things my wife loves the most doing in magic are casting one mana fliers and gaining life.
Her favorite AtLA character is Momo.

I guess I have to squeeze that into my cube.
 
A part of me considered adding lessons to my cube, but then I remembered how barren the learn options are.


This is the spoiled card I like the most so far, fun little tempo card that does fun things with blink spells and can set up surprise lethal.


I kind of like this card, I'd love to play more temporary black reanimation, but I really don't want to have a singleton waterbending card.


I'm very curious about how good this is in actual practice. Blue has gotten a fair amount of card-draw payoffs I like recently, and I think they're a bit less demanding on your deck construction, although I do like that this is a one-drop. I kind of wish it was designed a bit more like Sleep-Cursed Faerie that keyed off drawing extra cards instead of mana.
 
Actually, the Spongebob Ones were all peices of art commissioned to copy the style of the animated series. They were illustrated by artist Tyler Walpole, who will be at the Shoebox Cube event in March!
Ah, I didn't know that, thanks for pointing that out. I always just assumed they were stills. I was never a SpongeBob person, but based on what I've been exposed to just on memes alone makes it look like a still on first glance. The fidelity at least looks better than what I've seen on the Avatar stills.
 
One very interesting spoiler from this small leak.

Reading this I was excpecting the second ability to add some weird lesson trinket text, but no, it's a perfect signpost for my izzet spell madness archetype.
