The true mind can weather all the lies and illusions without being lost. The true heart can tough the poison of hatred without being harmed. Since beginning-less time, darkness thrives in the void but always yields to purifying light.
I invision a future where one is not mighty when he can silence a crowd with brutality,
but when he leaves them speechless with wisdom.
Angelic Destiny is from Innistrad. Some of you may recall Maro saying that enchantments would play a bigger role in Innistrad than in previous sets. It doesn't get much bigger than a mythic enchantment.
I liked all of the new cards keep up the good job rumor mill, they all seem real, some even seem bad, so they are probably real, if not, well it was some fun gossip for now. Unless we get inside man though will never have a set this early, even though it is already done and being printed
Well, I'd say that they most definitely are real, considering that cards are never created especially for DoTP.

I'm loving the art and the cards. Fun stuff!
I'm seeing a graveyard-based theme for Innistrad, especially considering that Flashback will be making a return.
Mmm, those cards make me feel sooo justified. (See musing; shameless plug!)
I wondered about Flashback, personally. It was quite likely, but I hope they fix the arguably misleading reminder text. Strictly speaking, saying "Cast from graveyard, then exile this card." could suggest you cast it and immediately exile the card after you cast it, rather than the correct behavior of it resolving and so on.
...How do you figure? 4/4 flier for 5 is pretty par, and Phyrexian Arena is a pretty powerful effect. He actually has a better version of that effect, though, because you can use it to ping the opponent if they're near death.
I mean, I don't see him seeing play in Standard or anything, but he's not ALL-CAPS AWFUL by any stretch!
If this is the kind of artwork we can expect from Innistrad, I for one am VERY excited for this set. Beautiful visuals, Gothic setting, new Liliana... Just keeps getting better and better.
i mean, look at that background! i like the wings on the mirror, it has that "has yet to be" feel to it not to mention how... "white" the art is. ability wise... it's borderline above average. +4/+4 for 4? not to mention FLYING? problem is... 4 would be hard to swallow in tournaments lol ah well, i would still use it for the art alongside Phyrexian Unlife
^oh yeah, it DOES look like the dudes from Pirates of the Caribbean
Interesting that we have almost full confirmation that Innistrad is going to have flashback as the returning mechanic. Since it was going to be a graveyard themed block I was betting on seeing threshold coming back. Still am excited since Garfield is on this one. That mythic aura is pretty much a super-Rancor.
Nothing in this game is degenerate or completely dominant. They haven't banned anything in standard in a long, long time. Hell they should have banned affinity right away, but they didn't until boxed sales collapsed too. Hasbro had to come in and fire people.
I'll enjoy watching all the whiners eat crow monday.

You know...if Innistrad ends up being as loved as Ravnica, it's kinda going to make the rest of R&D look bad.

Isn't that the pair from Pirates of the Caribbean?
Also, the names sound more Germanic than Victorian, but I suppose it could be Victorian flavor with Germanic names.
"Skirsdag" definitely sounds Scandinavian (sounds like it should be in Ice Age). "Geist" is the German word for ghost.
Anyone dismissing this card just because Auras (especially Serras Embrace-like ones) have historically been mediocre are in for a little surprise.
Woah, I think it is o_O

Well, he does have a sharing possibility for multiplayer, so why not have him sharing in the picture.
anyone noticed that in M12 and so far in INN there are really good auras so i`m betting the Kor Spiritdancer is gonna shine when INN comes out
Pride of Lions?
Seems like someone found a copy of James Lipton's Exaltation of Larks.

I think these fit very nicely into the whole graveyard theme we presumed INN would have...
As I see it
White: Spirits
Black: Undead, zombies, etc
Red: Occultists
Green: Beast hunters
Blue: Mad Scientists? Not really enough Info..

Who's eating crow?
If M12 is indeed foreshadowing INN, then U could be Illusions, which is simi-on-theme for a Victorian/Gothic/Horror/Steampunk block.

Love the auras. Looks like a witch hunter to me.
If you hate the deck, I'm probably playing it!
myself i want to put that aura on a Halo Hunter.
Flashback 2/2s are good
Card draw demon also good
Same goes for the Rancor Angel Aura
