hot DAMN, Snapcaster Mage. I'm so, so, SO happy they made a cannibal card, along with something saying 'whenever a human dies'. The white card could be decent for limited, i suppose, but nothing to write home about. Also, the werewolf I like--rewards playing aggressively, and should he transform, the opponent is going to be in for a WORLD of hurt.
Broken? really? I wouldnt say the mage is broken, its just good. A lot has to go right to get tremendous value out of it; most of the time its a solid 2-for-1. Very good, obviously tournament quality, but hardly broken.
I think these four cards are some of the strongest spoiled yet. The Instigator gang seems powerful but is probably too slow for an actually red deck, the cannibals just look fun, Slayer of the wicked will be in sideboards and will rule your draft table, and the snapcaster mage will have a huge following and decks designed after him.
My thoughts are this: The handsize is no longer a good indication of how many counterspells someone now has. With 4 mana, the denial just keeps coming.
Snapcaster Mage is a crowd pleaser, and i'm part of the pleased crowd on this one.
cheaply priced, highly versatile, value added creatures are basically the best type of cards in magic. this is a great creature. just great. it has playability in many archetypes and many formats. really a gift here. what a great card.
the card is hardly broken, it's just good. Broken implies a lot more than that.
No it's broken.
It's a 2/1 with flash.
With an ability that's better than "draw a card". Welcome in eternal where recurring Timewalk/Ancestral/Brainstorm/good instant at 1-2 cmc is a broken ability. Maybe he may not be retarded in new format, but in eternal he's stupid as **** and will be played even more than the current 1X signature creature of Vintage, Confidant.
White has SFM. Green Tarmogoyf. Black confidant. Now blue has also a monster at the 1U casting cost, this.

And red cry in a corner.
Did i say he has flash? Sigh.
Ah, well, if you're speaking only about eternal formats, I have no idea. Don't play either, so I can't make any judgements on it. but you'd want to specify 'broken in eternal formats', because otherwise it'll just cause confusion, since this card is in no way broken in standard.
Snapcaster Mage is amazing, so no need to add to that. The werewolf is quite good in a world without lightning bolt but might cost 1 to much to be playable.

Saki, Tsumo After Kon needed to be banned sadly. But I wish we could have kept Saki Miyanaga past the rotation.

instigator gang isn't so bad either. it sort of depends on how easily you can transform your werewolves =).

**** you WotC once again. Try to make a broken non-blue card for once ffs.
That werewolf card makes me want to make a werewolf deck.

Good game sir.
Generals meant to be drafted first in a single pack of 6 cards.
And here is the actual cube, meant to be drafted in 4 regular sized packs. (60 card decks)

Yeah, I have to agree. Snapcaster Mage is a good card, but definately not a chase card. The land was way better. This card is fair.
