The flavour text of Reya isn't dark. It's filled with hope. She's saying that, so long as she can will it, you will not die. Talking to her allies. She's telling them they have no reason to fear death in battle.
Freaking sweet flavour text, really.
I dont know, I get the opposite feeling from the flavor text, shes telling them that you are now her puppet. You will live and fight until Im finished with you.
Seems more like involuntary servitude on the spirital level to me.
If anyone knows why G0-DRAW was banned I would love it if they would PM me. That guy was pure entertainment 100% of the time. Plus he never publicly responded to his Contraptions "Proof" that never panned out.
I suppose you can see it that way. I see it more as a protective vow. No one wants to die, she's saying you wont til she says so. It's not as bad as Angel of Wrath...and she's pretty cool, so yeah.

I wish they could have brought the style from the old art though. Not that im saying this one is bad or anything. At least have the style, shadowing and stuff be brought back to the new reay.
Cool card and im joining pre-release for her. Nice find people!
(M:tG) It's a hobby which costs money. You can't play golf without the right clubs and a membership for the golf court, you can't play paintball with a cardboard armor and a sling, you can't go to the movies without paying for a ticket and you can't play Magic without owning the cards. Simple as that.
I learned the rules back when Beta was rolling around and back then rules weren't too difficult. And when Legends came around the additional rules were placed on an insert card. I really think that if the did that for each booster pack instead of placing the reminder texts on, it wouldn't be that bad for a new people to understand.

"If I do go to heaven, I'll smack god across the face and tell him to get me a grilled-cheeses sandwhich and then say 'Yea what now god!? Say some'in! I dare you!' "
Did not see the flavor text though, which I find rather bland. Where are the classical literature quotes? Can they not find ANYTHING cultured to say about resurrection, or being given a second chance?
I like trying to use Reya Dawnbringer, trying would be the word in the sentence that means the most here. Does anybody know if she'll have new art? Nevermind, saw it.

Actually they're doing both. They'll put reminder text on where it fits, but also, every 10th pack will have a "tips and tricks" card describing some rules, or deckbuilding tips, or other useful things. It's mentioned in the MTG.com podcast from this past Saturday, I think (it's the one where the first half is about 10th).

I'm liking the new reya art it is similiar enough to the original to be recognisable as Reya but new enough to be interesting, the art itself is of a nice high quality.
The flavortext is also nice, "You have not died until I consent." It much cooler than the original.

That's something i see being fit on Akroma than Reya. It's more of a caring and leader-y flavor text to me.

Both do gain a creature type when they're activated.
Conclave is of course a Faerie.
But Treetop Village? It turns into an APE! WTF?

Townsfolk would have probably made more sense. Do they even use "townsfolk" anymore?
The Reya Dawnbringer looks pretty cool. Also a good choice for the promo card, I suppose.

I was always under the impression that Treetop Village was home to a bunch of ELVES.
It's been discontinued.
Yeah, but in MTG, Monkeys = Apes.
