Thought scour is really good. If you're playing anything with Flashback, it's pure Value for 1 mana at instant speed. It works really well in tandem with Snapcaster Mage, and has a lot of other cool synergies as well.
Another thing to take note of is how good Thought Scour will be in Modern UR decks, whether it's Storm, Pyromancer's Ascension, or the more popular Hybrid of both.

I would have thought if they wanted to leave fling out of M13 they could have at least put it in the big set. Reprinting one of 158 cards is more noticeable. Would have been cool with flashback or desperate hour. Really appropriate with desperate hour actually!
Perhaps you should just send WOTC a resume and tell them why you're better at Magic than one of their employees instead of complaining here, where nobody really has any authority on the matter.
I wish my 4/4s with haste and first strike that acted as Goblin Warchiefs were better and didn't die to instants and overshadowed all other 4 drops in the format. And that they had evasion too, and some way to dodge wrath effects.
I am not sure I understand why fling is in the set, but I guess they don't want it post rotation in the core. I just don't understand taking up a slot in small set for it.
All this time I was imagining the whole body, intact, of the sacrificial victim being hurled at the target. I was way off. Does it work if you hang your fodder upside-down, though? So, like, the feet are sent whizzing at an opponent? Do you get to name two targets, then, dividing the damage evenly, rounded-down?
These are fun cards which should play well with Innistrad.
Fling, really? I understand having to put Naturalize in IND for limited purposes, but why is Fling getting a reprint after being in M12 too?
Limited purposes, I think. Seriously, this'll be an incredibly strong limited trick with Undying guys to untap a surprise blocker and, ya know, deal damage to something. Also, INN block so far seems to have an overage of big, evasionless guys that are begging for Fling
Another rather dull night of spoilers. A boring spike card for an archetype I don't care for and a few reprints (one functional). At least we've basically been assured the ally color three mana lords.
Aw, now I have to consider running Thought Scour over Tome Scour in my Innistrad-themed self-mill deck for flavor purposes. First world problems, ahoy!

Wish the new Fling art was more fling, less behead. Don't get me wrong--it's cool art. Just not very Flingy.
Couldn't agree more. They really have a lot of opportunity to make this a fun art kind of card. Both this and the promo aren't as actiony as they could be.
You must be new... Fling was reprinted for the first time in M11... all the way back from Stronghold. You want to complain about reprints, take a look at Stone Rain. At least Fling is fun.
UG self mill will make good use of it, and now I think of it, they're splashing red to remove Undead Alchemist these days, so they can probably make use of that fling for the 12/12 Boneyard Wurm's that get blocked by Trees.
Fling is cool but seems really out of place... when I think of the card "fling" I think of giants chucking puny goblins into castle walls. Who's flinging what here, exactly? Fling is way more out of place than the two mythic dragons we've had so far in this block.
Thoughtscour's art feels too exaggerated. Is getting milled two cards really as bad as that picture tries to make it? No it's inconsequential. They should put maybe like a fly gently bumping into the side of someone's head or something.
Thought Scour's synergy with Ponder makes it very exciting. And to a lesser extent, there is synergy with Delver, Snapcaster, Runechanter's Pike, Moorland Haunt...
I wonder if a deck with, say, 2 Visions of Beyond can come out of this framework.

Love Fling again. You gutshot my inkmoth nexus after I kessig? Ok cool, here take this to the face. What you don't want to get flung at? So you just take my kessig'd creature to the face. GG. Now what to take out?
Love it, just what kessig needed another win condition.

And the Scour is also pretty good

How so? It's the same thing as mental note. And legacy dredge doesn't run mental note.

Well, it's not quite the same thing since you can target others, which could occasionally be useful, like after they ponder/scry.

No, but RUG does. Goose RUG just got a whole lot stronger.
Good point, it also could be used with Surgical Extraction to good effect.
Needs moar Delver.
