They are making so many good cards to combat counters (Cavern of souls, Wolfir Avenger, now Yeva) yet they are taking all the counters away. Doesn't make much sense.
Hooray for the crypt!
It's not that they made Cavern to hose counters. They made Cavern because wizards realized that they hate counterspells, or at least ones that are playable enough vs any deck you happen to play against. They are taking the counterspells away in favor of more situational ones.
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.
Sorry Splinterfright, I thought we could finally be together when spellbomb rotated, but the man just won't let us be one.
Well so far I've been impressed with the Legendary Cycle, none of them are underwhelming(although Yeva is the best by far), but I'm still waiting for Krenko and whatever shenanigans he can do for goblins.

Love the standard people who are like 'Why is everyone freaking out about crypt? Nihl does the same thing" Yep. for more or less 2. This is... 0. Try it. Theres a reason we rock it in legacy and modern.

Agreed. It'll be nice to have access to them for cheap, but ick... so many decks hosed by Crypt. I guess we know the answer to all of those "OMG will they ban Snapcaster?" questions... Nope, we'll give you Crypt. If only we could have Cane too?
Nihil Spellbomb + Grafdigger's Cage + Tormod's Crypt = Wizards may not be very wise to any of the OTHER monsters they've unleashed, but AT LEAST they are well aware that Innistrad and the Golgari MUST NOT MEET IN STANDARD.
Think ahead folks. It's not just Flashback and friends this will shut down. I do believe the only reason we'd need Tormod's Crypt, since we already have Grafdigger's Cage, is that THE DREDGE MECHANIC IS ACTUALLY COMING BACK. Makes sense. The new Dredge cards will be to old Dredge what Metalcraft was to Affinity. But they STILL won't take any chances. Sorry folks, no Manaless Ichorid in Standard. LoL. x.X I think.....
I am probably every color-combination it is possible to be, though it's really hard to figure out what it would mean to be 4-colored....it doesn't seem logical to be 4-colored without being 5-colored.
Is it weird that I don't see a lot of appeal in Yeva? She seems like a fringe card so far. I can't think of many decks that'll find being able to flash in green creatures as being useful.

I agree. She has a lot of potential as Flash is a very good ability, but I don't see a home yet. There's still a lot of cards to be spoiled to help out though. 4/4 for 4 is already on curve for G at least.

Like other people said, this works VERY well with soulbond. And who knows what else well be getting in, as well?

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?

I would love dredge to return. That mechanic has a lot of exploring room, and the dredge deck has given it a bad name. Plus don't forget the Phantasm, an awesome card vs dredge shenanigans.
To think that Yeva is an Intro Pack Rare gives me a strange feeling ATM...what are you plotting this time Wizards?
You know since they already gave us Zealous Conscript and Wolfir Silverheart as Intro Pack Rares...and now this one that seems cool and all...Something fishy is going on...XD

Indeed funny that people want to sideboard a card just to deal with decks that run 4 snapcasters and perhaps no other actual use of their graveyard.
Feel free to bid on my cards here!

How is this a color pie bleed in anyway? Green has had flash for a very long time.

(I'd argue Scout's Warning should've been green.)

Yea if I recall Green is the primary of Flash Creatures and Blue is flash other things.
