Can't decide if I'm going Boros or Gruul for the Prerelease still... Definately building Naya though, haha.
Protip: looking at the product page, it seems last week's spoilers will be our prerelease promos.
You'd think so, but it seems to me that they are all creatures (with the p/t bar in the bottom right). But it seems clear that the Orzhov and the Simic are the same, while Dimir looks, like, a Gigapede? No clue for now.
REALLY happy that they didn't just make Bloodrush straight power and toughness boosting. Limited is going to be crazy playing against Gruul. Combat will be very unpredictable, sounds great!
I REALLY hope that they print at least a couple good, decently costed creatures with Bloodrush. I love the mechanic, I love creatures that can double as combat tricks.
I use the Duels Of The Planeswalkers layout, though I'm right-handed and keep my deck and GY to the left. I dare you to ask me how tempting it is to hold flying creatures in a floating pattern over the table.
I'm not sure how I feel about the Angel. It seems like it could be really awful or really good depending on the situation.
If you have that late-game extra six mana, when is that extra 5/5 not good?

What you are about to read the absolute truth about the deck that once nearly killed WotC's revenue.

I want to play with Murder Investigation on grounds that it has awesome flavor alone. Strong casting cost on it with such an 'X' ability as it possesses. I like this in EDH.
I absolutely love burning Tree Emissary, especially how it let's you cast green spells in a mono red deck. Tin Street Market is also a sweet toy for mono red EDH.
Looking at Boros Elite and Experiment One only serves to make more more giddy for Battalion and Evolve. I can't wait to see what the rest of this set does for those keywords. They may be among some of my favorite in a long time.
That flying 3/1 Trampler seems like a nice way to curve out with your one drop evolve (and hopefully two drop evolve guy too). The green one is really good, but the blue one also doesn't seem too shabby.
Wow. Not one but two Simic one drops. That Gruul shammy is nuts. Flavor text showing Gideon as a Boros member on that one drop. Even that Orzhov common looks spiffy.

There is buried treasure everywhere...in a graveyard.
Lol @ "Human Ooze". I bet they had a field day coming up with odd type combinations for Simic. I love the flavor all around here, especially the city-esque cards.
Is anyone able to make out the promo cards. I can confirm that they are not the holiday preview cards, as they are ALL creatures.
Those look like very likely Treasury Thrull, Fathom Sage, and Rubblehulk, but the Dimir one is definitely a creature, and the Boros one has different lines of rules text than the normal one, which seems a little unusual.

Hmmm... So it is, seems like the rest were previewed last week though. new players like their creatures... >_>

The 1/1 Evolve guy and the Burning-Tree Storm Enabler are quite awesome as well.

How realistic do you think it is that you'll be able to loop it? I'd probably rather just have Undying.
I agree. These are some of the best, most bountiful mothership spoileries of all Magic time.

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

How is that different from Priest of Urabrask?

Don't click this. I mean it. No, seriously. I said not to click it. The world might blow up. Even if you just think about it. BOOM. See? The whole world could've just blown up and it would've been all your fault. Just don't click this.
