And I tooootally called Yeva + her Forcemage not being Selesnyan. That flavor text is pure Cult of Yore if I ever saw it.
But you also tooootally called Yeva + her Forcemage being from Not Ravnica.
Still, I'm glad they aren't Selesnyan. I wouldn't call her Cult of Yore yet either, certainly a possibility, but she fits in with the less "burn it all down" side of the Gruul.
Mwonvuli Beast Tracker seems very interesting. If they print some utility creatures with the keyword abilities + something else (Acidic Slime is a start) he could become a really versatile tutor.
Also is a Human so he could combo nicely with Descendant's Path to cheat out whatever you just tutored for. If they actually print Humans with any of those abilities...

I relented on that after a while, for what it's worth. But you're correct.
If her Forcemage has that mentality, I don't see why she wouldn't also. They look far closer to Selesnya than Gruul, anyway. And there's some overlap between the Gruul and the Cult, I'd imagine, considering they have similar goals.
Edit: That last sentence was a mess. What I'm saying is that the Forcemage's flavor text is perfectly consistent with what little we know about the Cult of Yore, and neither look at all close to Gruul visual style.

The major difference is that the Gruul just revere nature. The Cult have a little more "flay the skin from the unbelievers" running in them. Sanguine Praetor and Blessing of the Nephilim as well as an article that Matt did ages ago.
Whoa...Murder looks interesting. When was the last time we got an unconditional Destroy Creature spell? It's been awhile. I'm sure someone will remind me soon enough.
And new versions of Black Knight and White Knight! It's good to finally give those two cards a rest...
I guess OP wants it to be 'keyworded' like "dies" was. What word would you replace ETB with though?
When Aegis Angel is born?
When Huntmaster of the Fells arrives?
When Kitchen Sphinx lands?
When Faerie Imposter busts in?
When Dread Cacodemon pops in?
When Malfegor shows up?
Mwonvuli Beast Tracker 1GG
Creature – Human Scout (U)
When Mwonvuli Beast Tracker enters the battlefield, search your library for a creature card with deathtouch, hexproof, reach, or trample and reveal it. Shuffle your library and put that card on top.
2/1
Ranger’s Path 3G
Sorcery (C)
Search your library for up to two Forest cards and put them onto the battlefield tapped. Then shuffle your library
Realy hoping Rampant/solemn get reprinted and not just rangers path.
guess beast tracker is the 'functional reprint' of green sun zenith
So looks like Doom Blade and Rampant Growth are gone. One replaced with a 3 drop, and the other replaced with a 4 drop. Seems like they might be trying to slow the format down, but then again, I think that's been said for a while now and it hasn't happened.
Duress coming back is a huge get for black decks. It needed a good 1 mana discard spell. I'd say that's a much bigger card for any black deck against Delver than Nighthawk.
I don't think it's confirmation, but I certainly think it's some very strong evidence. I'm pretty excited that they will. Standard was a lot of fun when you could play 3 color decks without ever having to worry about mana.
Shocklands look all but confirmed now. Arbor Elf, Farseek, the new Skyshroud Claim, the new shade who fetches Swamps, and the black creature who cares about having Islands. Not so subtle hints there.
Vampire Nighthawk is back? Hmm. A great card when you're using it, sooo annoying on the other side of the table.
Knight of Glory / Knight of Infamy: Very cute. It looks like white and black are the main (only?) colors of Exalted here. Which leads to champions of "good" and "evil" clashing against one another, which is a big plus.
Mwonvuli Beast Tracker: It reads kind of messy but it is SO COOL.
Yeva's Forcemage: I want so badly for the Cult of Yore to be the big villain of Return to Ravnica. I hope this is a hint at just that.
Talrand's Invocation / Krenko's Command: So the folks talking about the new art being for tokens were almost right.
Murder: This one was a long time coming. Perfect.
Harbor Bandit: Looks like the Goblin Artisans were on to something. Not what I would have expected.
Liliana's Shade: Ooh, I like! I'm a fan of Black's subtheme of "play more Black" and this is a perfect card for that.
Mind Sculpt: This one made me lol.
Smelt: Shatter, your time was over a long time ago. Koth flavor text is a nice tough.

EDH is like French fries: some people like waffle cut, crinkle cut, or plain old straight cut, and while there's slight flavor difference and personal preference, at the end of the day they're still fries.
