Just like to say this is the most retarded core set ive ever seen. i dont get the point of including all of the exalted cards. I have a friend with an exalted deck though so ive seen how strong ardent plea into jhessian inflatrator with rafiq and soverigns into transcription for about 18/18 unblockable double strike. I am overly happy though about nighthawk, nocturnus, captain of the watch, and murder. at first i though oh just a retarded removal spell thats over priced then i read "destroy target creature" no drawbacks so it is super playable not doomblade or go for the throat restrictions. Im interested to see how this will all play into ravnica though because of all the exalted mostly. Im also kinda hoping to see captivating vampire reprinted because then tribal vampires is super do-able with keeper to pump out tokens and ramp vaps up 1 then 2 after a few turns if not right when he hits then captivating vampire takes care of just about everything in the way.
Funny how Rafiq, Sovereigns, Ardent Plea, and Eldrazi Conscription aren't getting reprinted.
Also, do you really need to call everything "retarded"? It's kind of offensive.
It's still not colorless, and has no color. That's a paradox. So either you're a Zen master or an idiot, I'll assume the Zen master for sake of argument. This card will have no paradoxes because it has a clear paradox. Deep stuff man.
Interesting art, but someone might try to point out to the WOTC art director that both arts feel out of place for a simple 2/1 Exalted.... Knight of Glory should have at least have 4 toughness with that amount of armor. Unless it's made of cheap-&%# plastic. And did you see the enormous anime-sized swords on them, Buster is small compared to these....

Both arts are mirrored compositions - look at the triangles each of their shapes make (Glory - straight side down, Infamy, straight side up, Mirran - straight side left, PhyCrus - straight side right). Maybe that's why.
Alright guys, I'm gonna throw this out there. But could Attended Knight replace Blade Splicer in human decks in order to fight the delver menace? I get that it starts at one less power and all that, but just think about these points:
I would like to point out that I've noticed nobodies pointed out sign in blood a huge win fall for mbc. all thou to be sure he's not alone over all vary excited about the new set.

To go even further, could you play both in perhaps a G/W humans deck with 8 accelerants, Mayors and Angels?
It's a 3 drop human. It's worse than both Ajani and Siliverblade. You're never running more than just a few 3 drops.
As for the comparison to Blade Splicer, there is a huge difference between a 3/3 and a 2/2, and that difference is even bigger when you factor in First Strike.

- Just as many human-triggers for Champion of the Parish.
- They both go up to 5 power at the first Honor of the Pure, and this one grows even bigger at the second.
- Attended Knight is vastly superior when faced against answers such as Fiend Hunter and Vapor Snag (the key point to playing this guy)
- Less synergy with Restoration Angel, which is of course a problem, but then again, I'm still playing Hero of Bladehold. Angels are in the board against the Delver matchup, though.

Jace's Phantasm followed by turn 2 Glimpse the Unthinkable Swing 5 turn 2? Seems pretty nuts... Come on reprint!
I don't know. It seems nice but so does a lot of things. Delver + T2 Rancor is swing for 5 too. And seems like a safer play in a lot of ways
