Magic: The Gathering (Unreleased Sets)

I like how Arachne is being referenced.

Deicide is really cool.

Edit: Also, cool, Oblivion Ring with a different name.

One minor change (I think) being that it can only exile your opponents stuff, rather than exiling anything you want.

Which really isn't too big a deal unless you need to exile your own stuff long-term for some reason.

It's also removes the stack trick where you remove O-ring in response to its first trigger to permanently exile something.

Reminds me of a trick with Tidehollow Sculler: if its removed before you pluck something from their hand, the return to hand trigger goes in the stack first, then the exile, so its gone forever.

There's been several times where my opponent lightning bolts it, then loses a card. Waste removal on a 2/2 and lose a card? So much rage.

Odds, then, that Banishing Light will turn into a long-term replacement for Oblivion Ring when they need to bring it back to standard?

I would guess those odds are close to 100% (Percentages aren't odds but... whatever)

I love the flavour on the Renowned Weaver! The implication of a artificial spider completely woven out of enchanted stuff is pretty awesome.

Er, considering the aforementioned Arachne, I believe the woman is the spider.

Dack Fayden is going to be in Conspiracy and he's being gradually spoiled here.

Sweet! I hope the full card won't disappoint.

Gonna hazard a guess and say his +1 is to loot for 2.

I can't remember. Do we still hate him?

I guess we have to like him now that he's a card.

Tethmos High Priest.

We don't like One With Nothing and that's a card.

Or Jace. (Do we like Jace? I can't remember. I think we don't. I hope we don't. We'll have problems if we do)

Speaking of unpopular planeswalkers, does anyone actually like Nissa Revane?

Hey, don't be so hard on Jace, he's just a HUMONGOUS DWEEB.

I hate that he's like the only planeswalker that always gets good cards. That's being monoblue for you.

Nissa is getting better (from what I've heard, she understands what she's donee). It'll be interesting to see if she's in M15 and how it affects that.

Also, both versions of Tezzeret have been bah-roken, whereas Jace, Memory Adept is kinda meh.

Edit: That high priest is really cool. Playing that in a RW weenies deck gives you all sorts of openings for your cheap combat tricks. Stuff like Boros Charm, Martial Glory (which lets you trigger twice, funnily enough), Swift Justice, etc will be way good (granted, they won't be legal in limited, but for casual).

I think Nissa has potential. A big redemption quest allows for plenty of growth as a character. Also, I do feel that her first card is too limited, with the whole requiring one exact card for it, like Yu-Gi-Oh, but not nearly as horrible as people say it is.

Elspeth has been consistently good as well. And Baby Jace is meh (though half of that is due to power creep).

I hope so. She needs to do more than say "well I derped" (and frankly so does Chandra).

Baby Jace is actually fairly powerful, if only because he's a 3 mana draw machine. Half the time your opponents won't dare touch him, because he draws them cards as well.

Hey, I like One With Nothing. ...I like it because it's endearingly shitty and Johnny-enabling, but I like it.

Never been a huge fan of Nissa, but I don't really like green, so green walkers aren't up my alley.

Jace is the Raiden of Magic the Gathering.

No he's not, I like Raiden.
