Yeah, a lot of fodder, but so it goes, gotta have some, right?
The 1B weenie that peppersmokes something when it comes into play isn't bad, and for some reason the 3U critter that can untap an artifact for 2U might have a use, and the black cycle/unearth could have some use, but nothing here screams constructed worthy, and only a few even strike me as decent casual material.

The B: RFG a card in a graveyard, gain three life is a strange one for Black. It really looks like they're sick of graveyard decks lately. Fairy Macabre, Beckon Apparition, and this... and others. Lots of options for the anti-graveyard choices.
Thank you for the info!

If you have questions about MTGO PM me, I'm all up ons, as it were.
Check out my articles on http://puremtgo.com/ I'm the nerd you see there... wait, not that one. Nope, not that one either... yeah. That one.
And so, gentlemen we have our first (We can only hope it will be our last but alas...) totally worthless instance of Exalted
The 4/2 first strike for 4 with unearth aint too shabby in limited, quite good, I'd dare say (unless you are playing against that unavoidable guy that somehow managed to draft every single Magma Spray of the table.) The CIP Festering Goblin is quite decent too.
I'm calling it right now- worst rare in the set. Even good limited players will find better bombs at common and uncommon no sweat. Worst. Episode. Ever.
I really do predict this to be our worst rare in set award winner. I'd be happier opening a jar of eyeballs, so I think anything worse is highly unlikely. This card wont just have zero constructed potential, but not be significantly better than a mass of ghouls in a draft.
I suspect R&D may have aB crap common running joke going. Chimney Imp, Dripping Dead... There's a theme deck in there.
Wow, combine the B crap critters and some of the G crap critters, you basically have brown, so you could make Turd.dec. Bog Hoodlums, Ashenmoor Cohort, that new POS... yeah. If you beat anyone with it, they would have to commit ritual suicide or be forever shamed.

And to get a less earthy, more disgusting shade of brown, dont forget to add white with Squire and Takeno's Cavalry

5 mana for a 3-power flyer +abilities has not been bad in recent formats and is a high pick. Often you hit stalled boards where only the flying guy is attacking alone anyways (hence why flying is so good). Then you add up all the extra power on him from your exalted ground weenies...
Cloudthresher is strictly better than the activated ability guy. Flash and evoke are simply strictly more versatile and cost-effective, plus the body's bigger.
Quote from schrecklich »
The 3B 3/3 seems like a mini-bomb to me. Hill Giants in black are hard to come by to begin with but then you add on two great abilities that synergize together in cycling and unearth -- wow, I hope I open lots of those in my sealed decks.
Was just thinking the same thing, the sad thing is that even these two synergistic abilities won't put this guy in a deck unless it has some sort of evasion or tribal ability or is a Zombie.

Unless there are huge bonus cards to support tri color or multicolor, this thing is much worse that battlegrace angel. It's like a bad battlegrace angel in the same set.. I think this has to be a mistake..

Nope, just the different between commons/uncommons and rares. :\
What we're doing here is akin to taking the text of Moby Dick, locating specific words therein, rearranging them to create a passage from Fight Club, and concluding from this evidence that Tyler Durden is based on Ahab.
That's funny, I thought we had a year to go until the next core set...
I'm really not sure whether I want to go to the prerelease anymore. Even for filler commons, these are really DULL (compared to last year, at least). I'm most excited about the red Dross Crocodile, which says a lot.
(don't get me wrong, there are better cards in this batch, but that to me is a perfect fit for the Naya theme, and will work well with it)
You would not go to the prerelease solely because of the filler commons?

No, that would just be a common Exalted creature, Bant's entry for the 'common three color creature cycle'.
I like many of these cards.
Any guesses at names guys? (What with the planes explorer and all)
No, because the rest of the set feels like most normal set's filler commons. The set as a whole feels really bland.
We know 2/3 of the cards.
Rinse. Repeat.
I would love to add some of the above cards to the spoiler, but we will need a little bit more fleshing out to do that.

The 1B that kills a weenie is nice.

This guy is not bad. Cycle early, then later 3 damage to the dome.
Ha ha, Dross Crocodile in R. Hope it's a beast and 5 power fits nicely in Naya.
