Looks like Disentomb is the only new one here (not in the spoiler), but there's also pictures of several cards that I'm not sure we've seen. Notably, Unsummon seems to have new flavor text.

I love how Disentomb costs 1 mana, and Diabolic Edict costs 1B, but apparently if you combine them into one card in AVR limited it will cost 6 mana as a Sorcery.
Disentomb being reprinted is pretty meh, IMO. Entomb would have been sweet, Disentomb is pretty mediocre.

When you put them on the same card it effectively becomes a two for one which is much more powerful. It's playable (depending on the deck) even at 6 in AVR limited.
If the store owner says that I can't trade in the premises, I'll just go outside. If he says that I can't trade within 10m of his premises, I'll go to 11 meters. If he says that he doesn't want to see me trading, I will put a basket over his head and continue trading.
Yes, he's a local legend. He's only known to take his clothes off before he goes into the Ladies' Lockerroom. Nobody knows what he does in there because he's invisible, but it's almost certainly tons of masturbating.
Entomb/Exhume would have been terrible. Nothing says "you lose" like T2 Griselbrand.

Foreigning out SI, currently 33/75. The only thing better than a T1 kill is doing it with cards no one has ever heard of and/or can't read. If anyone has any of the usual pieces, PM me. I'm willing to buy/trade.
Damn I thought it would be Entomb! What was wrong with Merfolk Mesmerist? They had to replace it with the entrancer b/c it was too good in limited?
Actually I think Vedalken Entrancer is better than Merfolk Mesmerist in a limited mill deck, because he blocks better. For the first few turns you want to be building up your defenses rather than actively milling, so the extra two mana isn't as important the extra two points of toughness.
Lots of new flavor text in this set. A Vish Kal shout-out is cool, too; it's not just Nin who's getting love.
I still love the fact that Jace's Phantasm is a reference to Iquatana and the Iquati. Of all the one-off planes to get references, I wasn't expecting something so weird and alien as that one.
Divine Favor is a permanent replacement for Holy Strength? Can't say I'm all that disappointed, but I figured it was a change just for the sake of M12's Aura subtheme.
Warclamp Mastiff continues to have a terrible name, and only mediocre flavor text.
Anyone else think that flavor text is missing a "has" somewhere in the last line?
But always nice to see a twenty fourth filler card for limited that can always be relative. Except with worldfire :X

I fear I won't have much time to play Magic these days.
I get to watch worlds develop around me.
I get to watch great leaders, terrible oppressors, and trend setters rise and fall.
Limited, Standard, Modern, everything is a different playing field I feel I can observe, but will not actually touch.
I look forward to the stories I will hear.
And more so to the ones I will watch unfold first hand.
Isn't the unknown exciting?

but in all seriousness, what are these boxes from?
are these the tiny decks you can learn to play with,
and how does one get them?

interesting that they'd quote Nevinyrral....
anyone think this might be an indication of a reprint of disk? It fits the number crunch, and might fill the void of a wrath effect...

Doubtful. A quote from Baron Sengir on Elixir of Immortality didn't foreshadow any kind of reprint, after all. It's likely just more references to various personalities of the multiverse.

LOL ya right. Exhume is an insanely powerful reanimate card.
Turn 1: Island, go
At end of opponent's turn, Thought Scour, flip 3 cards, get bomb in grave
Turn 2: Swamp, Exhume, win game
I don't think they'll ever reprint that card. It's WAY too good.
I like Turtles
