Grim Return - sounds like hilarious tech against reanimator. Turn 3-4, this happens.
"I'll grisly salvage at the end of your turn, putting Angel of Serenity into my graveyard."
"Sure, I cast Grim Return targeting Angel of Serenity."
Grim Return requires the creature to hit the bin from the battlefield, not anywhere else.
Ajani's Chosen and Divine Invocation both combo really well with Sigil of the Empty Throne; especially in a Populate deck with stuff like Parallel Lives, Intangible Virtue, Collective Blessing, and Trostani.

Cheeseburger, french fries, chocolate shake, somebody's mind I's about to take!
Nothing really noteworthy, but a lot of these are super cool cards.
A couple maybe playable. The bad forbidden alchemy could pretty easily cost 1U at sorcery speed. Snapcaster Mage isn't breaking any laws with 2 mana spells, only 0 and 1.
Some pretty cool EDH cards with the Green enchantments and the 7BB mass reanimate.
What's with the bad Planar Portal (already bad)?

Ajani's Chosen and Liliana's Reaver don't really interact with Caller of the Pride or Lili of the Dark Realms respectively. Possible new planeswalkers for those two?
The planeswalker creatures aren't necessarily supposed to interact with their PW, but instead with what their color does.
In the same way you can tell someone is from the XVIII century because he is arroused by ankles, you can tell someone is from USA because he feels nipples disturbing.
I don't think there is enough support for him in combo in Standard, TBH. That being said, I'm sure someone will be able to work something out with him and Battle Hymn and that deck maybe, just MAYBE, can gain enough momentum and become Tier 2, or even Tier 1.5.
Him in RDW is sweet. Along side a good burn suite and Hellrider, things can get scary fast.
Also, Liliana's Reaver seems great in the Mono Black Conley Woods PT deck. A nice fit after a Crypt Ghast, if anything. He's great after a board wipe early and can generate board presence pretty quickly. He's no Grave Titan in terms of power level or presence, but I think he's good enough.
Yay for Muscle Sliver functional! And for Scavenging Ooze as a rare!
Lili's ultimate on a card? Sign me up! Get your Crypt Ghasts now!
Is it just me, or does Ajani's Enchantment seem really strong in Enchantress? I have no background or experience with the deck, but to me it seems great in it.
Except Strategic Planning costs 1U and this new card costs 2U, which is exactly why we are complaining - they aren't funcionally identical.
And to whoever pointed that White already has 3 mythics and wondered about the other colors, at least one is being shaved, because the Ring of Three Wishes is Mythic.
Well weren't you around for Forbidden Alchemy winter this Standard season? I mean it lets you dig one deeper, it's instant, and has a flash back... Basically you could either play the Alchemy deck or the deck that beat the Alchemy deck, nothing else existed.

i hope so. im still mad at how bad chandra ablaze was. i opened two of her at a sealed ptq.
Seems like a small hint that we Might, "MIGHT" get fetchlands in this core set!?
Pipe dream, but I just figured i'd share what i'm feeling.

People are going to draft SporemoundLandfall.dek
I hope there is some sort of uncommon sweeper such as Pyroclasm to keep this thing in check or something.

First they were Alien-y. Now they're Predator-y. Next they'll be Transformer-y.

I really foresee a new Storm deck in Modern with him, Infernal Plunge, cantrips, Manamorphose and some way to kill (Grapeshot for sure, if not maybe Burn at the Stake)
I don't think there is enough support for him in combo in Standard, TBH. That being said, I'm sure someone will be able to work something out with him and Battle Hymn and that deck maybe, just MAYBE, can gain enough momentum and become Tier 2, or even Tier 1.5.

While a number of these look like fine cards for a normal core set, it seems like unless something big is being hidden in those remaining 175 cards.
I know it's silly, but I was kind of hoping for the set to do more as a "20th Anniversary" set.
Rather than dipping into nostalgia, this couldn't get anymore more New World Order.

Still looks like a promising set, just not exactly what I was hoping for.
I agree, a lot of these cards could've had landfall printed on them. Suspicious...?

I like the new zombie "specter" and the In the Web of War ogre. A fixed Planar Portal seems good with proliferating.
Young Pyromancer is basically Talrand, Sky Summoner color-shifted with weaker tokens but more aggressively costed.
