So while Illusionary armor is laughably bad for constructed, with as many cheap flyers as blue is getting in the set and the uncommon that makes them cheaper. I could see it being a good finisher for a blue flying deck in limited.
Illusionary Armor is now hexproof's best friend. I like Angelic Accord... but is the angel-theme going a little too far, w/ the Angel token mythic? What other not over-played creatures can be good tokens in white? (I just get burned out on creature types if there are too many in a period of time).

Scavenging Ooze seems to be far better than the other two. The Ogre will have to be very good to not make the PS3 players as sad as the Xbox players probably are.

Petition to stop WotC from making M:tG cards that do not fit my specific likes! Join the revolution! If not you, then who?

Sometimes I feel like the word "interactivity" around here is akin to the word "electrolytes" in sports drinks. The public doesn't really know what it means, but they figure it's a good thing to have.
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.

The Ogre has already been spoiled. It's In The Web of War on a 3/3 body, basically (and for 1 less). So yeah, PS3 players also sad*.
*I like the Ogre for some things (EDH, *maybe* a Hellrider replacement post-rotation), but Ooze is till better.
Doom Blade at uncommon sound as creature power creep at it's finest.
Really? That's the complete opposite of the definition of power creep.
Power creep is not moving something from common to uncommon.
Power creep would be printing a Doom Blade variant at common with a cost of B.
What you're talking about is WotC trying to make removal harder in a Limited environment, nothing more, nothing less.

hes talking about power-creeping creatures. its more down-powering removal but at the end of the days its relative. they want creatures to be better in limited, so they made removal less prevalent

Yeah, I know... sigh...
... it's just such a cliched response.
1) WotC prints something
2) A thousand people: "POWER CREEP!"
At the end of the day, we're going to have a couple more awesome creatures in M14 that will see a lot of tourney play. Archangel of Thune is potentially one of them, but I certainly wouldn't call that power creep. My point being that simply moving a removal spell from common to uncommon does not automatically beget power creep. Jumping on it now before we've seen two thirds of the set is disingenious.
Oh no, Doomblade killed my Timmy-Creature, plz make it uncommon - Mimimi...
-.-
Oh, no. Not every pack has first pick removal. Now I actually have to think about what to pick, rather than follow the formula. Me brain fried. Halp.
...fallacious arguments where those who would support a certain policy are portrayed as people who can't play the game and therefore need to have their incompetence pandered to work both ways. The rarity of removal has absolutely no impact on any format other than limited. Concerning limited, the stated aim is actually to make the game more challenging rather than players going down a checklist of auto-pick removal at common.
Wait, the promos are foil again instead of just alternate art nonfoils like last year?

Well that settles it. I'll buy DotP 2014 just to get that ooze. Daddy Slime wants the Little one to look good. And it gives me another slime to put into yet another EDH deck.
Aww man, if Illusionary Armor was only like a 3 drop for +3, +3 instead...would be perfect for Bant Enchantments (which would only last for a few more months), mana cost is a bit steep..

I don't always post about Rafiq of the Many, but when I do, I cardlink to the original artwork, and not the supplementary product version.
