Two guild leaders, both resistant to removal and with respectable abilities.. Color me impressed. Intrigued to see where Dimir is going as Lazav is really mill-friendly. I'm not sold on Obzedat being meta-warping or anything yet. That's still a potential five mana one-for-one.
Ghost Council is absolutely insane. Lazav is fine, but I'm not sure how well the ability will be. Dimir Keyrune is a weak Creeping Tar Pit... I'm okay with all of this
I once farted during the final match for prizes at an FNM. It was a tense moment, everything was quiet, control vs control, I was about to mana leak, thought about it.. and farted. Then mana leaked.
Dimir Keyrune is an excellent target for your Cipher spells. It's unblockable and dodges any sorcery-speed creature removal. And the flavor of that play is quite excellent, too.
Oh, and Obzedat is just incredible. Seriously. At worst it's a 5/5 for 5 that drains for 2 when it enters the battlefield.
Dat Council...I was hoping he would still have his blinking effect. Guess if it aint broke dont fix it. Now Laz me thinks is more dangerous then ppl realise. If you are playing alot of straight up removal, the spells basicly become "who do I want Laz to be today?".

There is buried treasure everywhere...in a graveyard.
both amazing cards. hoping for an updated Teysa too for edh. the council seems pretty strong in standard i wouldnt doubt if it saw play. the clone guy is awesome too. nothing really new we have seen the art is awesome and looks delicious to build around
wait edit that, the clone guy becomes a copy when the creature goes into the grave from anywhere
so this means
play this guy
do some mulching
oh did i just mulch in a worldspine wurm?

Make it into an unblockable creature and encode a spell onto it? Not sure if it will still be encoded once it turns into a non creature though.
Yeah we won't know for sure until they post the rules faq but I'm guessing that it'll stay encoded and trigger if it becomes a creature and connects again.
I'm more excited about the fact that in the Obzedat spoiler article..Gavin makes a sample Esper control deck with 4 Dimir Charm and he says it's insane in that kind of deck.
I'm wet at the thought of the U/B charm being good.

When it escaped, the experimenters hesitated. It would cause untold havoc, yet they wished to see it in action.

At least Dimir Keyrune was what i thought it would be,
UB: 2/2 Unblockable horror. Kinda figured.

Lazav and Ghost Council are both phenomenal and considering how outstanding Creeping Tar Pit is..why not get another one slapped into Ingot form?

I can't imagine too many old Ghost Council EDH decks not wanting the new one instead...
Lazav will be fun in a Mimeoplasm deck, as well as his own.

Obzedat would be my pick if I wanted to build a new 2-color EDH deck.
