Sigh, so we finally get Doom Blade back and Wizards decides to give its targets Protection from Black spells. If Mutilate is out as well, then Black is going to be stuck in support color until Theros. Even then the last time they did "Heros" it was in Innistrad and they trumped the majority of evil black "Monsters", so not a lot of hope for black support in that set either.
Fiendslayer Paladin 1WW
Creature - Human Knight (Rare)
First Strike (reminder text)
Lifelink (reminder text)
Fiendslayer Paladin can't be the target of black or red spells your opponents control.
2/2
Banisher Priest 1WW
Creature - Human Cleric (Uncommon)
When Banisher Priest enters the battlefield, exile target creature an opponent controls until Banisher Priest leaves the battlefield. (That creature returns under its owner's Control.) "Oathbreaker, I cast you out!"
2/2
Xathrid Necromancer 2B
Creature - Human Wizard (Rare)
Whenever Xathrid Necromancer or another Human creature you control dies, put a 2/2 black Zombie creature onto the battlefield tapped. "My commands shall echo forever in their dusty skulls."
2/2
Syphon Sliver 2B
Creature - Sliver (Rare)
Slivers you control have lifelink. (Reminder text) When the Hive must feed, every appendage becomes an additional mouth.
2/2
Galerider Sliver U
Creature - Sliver (Rare)
Sliver creatures you control have flying. Masters of adaptation, galeriders serve multiple purposes useful to the hive. When they're not patrolling their territories, their majestic wings serve to circulate cool air through the vast hive chambers.
1/1
This should work exactly the same as O-ring and Fiend, they just found a way to shorten the text for it. If you respond to the trigger and the priest leaves play, it returns what it had exiled (nothing) and then the trigger resolves and the creature is exiled. Why would this not still work?
Because as worded the priest leaves play and therefore it seems like it would never exile in the first place. There's no second trigger.

Evil is boring. The universe is friendly. Life is on your side. Joy is your birthright. Cynicism is idiotic. Fear is a bad habit. Despair is lazy. In fact, all of creation wants you to succeed. Act as if the universe is a prodigious miracle created for your amusement and illumination. Assume that secret helpers are working behind the scenes to assist you in turning into the gorgeous masterpiece you were born to be. . . Life always gives you exactly what you need, exactly when you need it.
This is hardly relevant to NWO. The reason was that they didn't like that removing Fiend Hunter/Oblivion Ring as the ETB ability was on the stack permanently exiled whatever the ETB ability was targeting.

Also known as Blitzer or Romanoff Blitzer. WIXOSS wiki admin.
It depends on how the "until" trigger works. If it triggers on its action of leaving the battlefield, it will work like fiend hunter. However, if it checks to see if it HAS left, then it will be with reduced functionality. I'll be looking it up, but I'm going to have to defer to a judge on this one.
It's a nightmare explaining how that stack manipulation trick works to newer players. I really hope they do change it.

It's only exiled "until it leaves play". That sets a duration and if the creature has already left play there is no duration, so the target won't be exiled. O Ring and Fiend Hunter have two linked triggers, this is a single trigger.

Because if an effect's duration ends before it would begin, it never starts. It's why if you untap Veldaken Shackles, you can't get two dudes.
No one's commented on how awesome the art is on Banisher Priest? Badass perspective and awesome color palette. I want one of these in foil.
Commented in the Ultra Pro thread. I had the same thought as you; she'll look glorious on foil. This'll be the first Magic playmat I buy, Will Murai has become a quick favorite of mine.

Oh that works and I plan on doing it in a 3 color deck, doesn't work in 5 colors unless you plan to have no spells. Like i said, a GOOD 5 color deck.
Hell, in my Golgari zombies I have 12 green sources (15 with cavern) and there are times when I still cant cast Varolz or Dreg Mangler
Syphon Sliver (say it five times fast, I dare you :D)
Pft, Sporesower Thallid was much harder to say without screwing up the name.

These are cool, like, really cool, but I can't help but be super disappointed by the artwork.
Ohwell, I'll get over it.
Still, geez, aggressively costed much? I'm a little unclear on why the black one grants lifelink, but ohwell, black does get lifelink, so I suppose that works.
Thank the gods of limited those are rares, especially Galerider Sliver. Talk about unfair... I drop this on turn 1, you can't ever block except with your best creatures against my army of slivers unless you waste removal on this one-drop? And in the meantime, it still gets to be a Flying Men?

I would hardly consider killing this a waste of Removal,
but you're right, this needed to be Rare at 1CMC.
Too bad it pretty much means no Hexproof Sliver this time...
Maybe that would just be too good?

Thank god, they're in all five colors. A hexproof sliver would be nice, but I think the green uncommon will be a mana fixer, the blue uncommon will be a "blink" effect, and the blue common will be a "curiosity" effect.

But exiling their board with Humanimator was so fun! Will Oblivion Ring have its language updated or will the O-Ring replacement simply be printed?

They do not really do rules changes in oracle updates like that at all. If they ever want o-ring back they will likely print a new one.

I always wanted a third flying Sliver!
A second (or really, first) Lifelink Sliver is cool, too.
And another "huzzah" for not neglecting that Slivers are supposed to be in all five colors!
