Artifact that makes you proofed against the hexes, very very cool wish it were tutorable by trinket or treasure mage, but whatever that's asking too much I know.
Also, DOUBLING SEASON ZOMG! makes me very happy indeed

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.
True, but I stand by my comment about Witchbane Orb being a format altering card in Modern. I can see it being a sideboard staple in that format, especially in Planeswalker heavy decks. Witchbane Orb and Elspeth, Knight Errant will be a house.
Any deck running Elspeth would never bother with Orb, when Leyline of Sanctity does the same thing at the same cost, can come down on turn 0, and is harder to deal wih.
A half-Doubling Season? That's nice, especially they pick the more commonly used half, tokens.
The Scarecrow is odd.... it punishes flyers, but lacks reach. Ok, it's just a scarecrow, but it feels a bit disjointed. But then again, it certainly makes a nice flavor nevertheless
Pitchfork is another human-only equipment, which is ok for limited...
Witchbane Orb's power really depends on how good curses are in this block....
There would have to be some serious Curse action going on to warrant the Orb. But we haven't seen any of the cards that reference Curses, so maybe a Curse deck is viable (at least casually), even though the Curses have unrelated effects.
Giving yourself Hexproof is nothing to sneeze at: You can stop direct mill effects (Tome Scour anyone?), direct damage and I'm sure more things.
It's a colourless Leyline of Sanctity that does a cool extra thing (and will continue to do more of those things as more curses are released in the rest of the block, I imagine).
Half the doubling season for 1 less.
Obviously this means they're printing a 1 cost artifact with the other half on it in Dark Ascension.
Sadly, doesn't go infinite with ling season Ghave but still really good.
Parallel Lives makes me so excited. Glad to see something similar to doubling season (thankfully without the 'counters' because that kind of broke the first version with planeswalkers. Though I would've liked it with the counters part too :)) Definitely getting it for Riku.
So a few cards I'm really looking forward to so far.
I kinda shocked that Scarecrow is a creature type. I thought it will be replaced by Construct or something.
Anyway, if Scarecrow is really gonnabe there, I hope there are more scarecrow because I want to make a scarecrow deck!!!!!
I'm just a new players so I don't really have a lot of cards. But I hope in Standard of Extended Environment, there will be more and more scarecrow.....
New Form of Doubling Season is great! I can see a lot of people building deck around it.
nothing new to say on the cards other than the orb is nice.
Oh god, I hope they dont repeat any of them. I like seeing more new hahaha call me selfish

I would love a Angry Mob reprint so bad in this set. Will never happen

Offtopic, but I've always wondered if it's Reaper King that's getting blasted by Flame Slash
Nope, its every one of the identical creatures made by swanland getting blasted at the same time
It's one of the spawns from the Emrakul swarm, they all have those sponge-like structures all over them.
I predict the Orb to become much better when we get more Curses in the spoiler, if only because it can easily remove 2 or more of them.
Who uses Flame Slash on an Eldrazi spawn?

we now have four ivory mask effects in modern =)

I'd like 12 please.

on a more serious note, elspeth tirel becomes an unbreakable wall of life and dudes - so a green/blue/white control/midrange deck seems doable.
So a few cards I'm really looking forward to so far.
Maybe not, but it's still a return to the creature type.

It's so funny now that Blazing Torch CAN be held by Zombies and Vampires!

What's wrong with a Zombie or Vampire holding a Blazing Torch? How is that any different from a human holding a sword or gun?
