the enchantment is a bookmark, simply based on the art. The imposing sovereign however makes things silly.

Lifebane Zombie would be amazing if you could cheat on the field turn 1 to deal with voice of resurgence. If it was just a sorcery. That let you remove your opponents voice of resurgence. sigh.
The enchantment made me laugh, and it'll be a fun johnny card.
The Zombies is going to be overshadowed by Sovereign but he's pretty darn good. It's sad that we'll be getting him right before Resto/Tusk rotate though. I also like the fact that his 1 toughness is mitigated by Intimidate. I believe it's the best of the cycle thus far.
For those wondering about the Red 2 drop, we already got it. It's called Goblin Recruiter, and it's so powerful it's banned in Legacy. It's funny how Red got the best 2 drop, and it's so good that we can't even use it.

The wedding is over. Now it's time for the honeymoon.
So white gets two hate cards and all the other colors get only one? Yep Wizards loves them some white. I don't know if that zombie will be as good as a lot of people are making it out to be. Turn 3 hand control is okay, but if green goes first then they will probably ramp to tusk and have it out before you can hit it and voice just drops before it. I really would have preferred it as a 2/1 2-drop even at BB.
that zombie is great. this guy would be such a pain back in the days of Dark Ritual. hes fragile but he's a great attacker and a serious threat to those colors. he oozes tons of personality for a zombie card too.

a small sentence for you to read while you ignore my post.
The problem with defining this format by what is "fun" is that everyone seems to define fun as what they don't lose to. If you keep losing to easily answered cards, that means you should improve your deck. If you don't want to improve your deck, then you should come to peace with the idea that you are going to lose because you chose to not interact with better strategies.
Whoa. Imposing Sovereign seems pretty good in Naya Blitz.
lol YOU STOP THAT RIGHT NOW but Im kinda thinking that decks that could capitalize on the effect are really going to have a hard time finding things to cut for an effect that you REALLY want maindeck...especially in Naya Blitz lol. I dont think sovereign is a sideboard card at all...its MB or bust with this one, and the only reason it wont see play (in specific decks that might want it) is the fact that a 2/1 for 2 has a high chance of getting outclassed fairly easily.
Effects like this in easily-accommodating aggro decks does make Lingering Souls kinda suck in control more though.

This card will single-handedly change the face of Standard until Theros comes in. Its very presence will warp things dramatically, and in a very good way. It is by far the best of the hoser cycle that I've seen.
Furthermore, it's the final piece to the Corrupter/MBC puzzle that's been missing—a very efficient beatstick that completely nullifies some of the biggest threats that can come down. True, monocolor MBC will be playable again, and that makes me pretty happy.
Lookit all them hate dudes! Imposing Sovereign is nuts. Naya Blitz just got a shiny new toy.
And are they finally giving control a chance? Lifebane was clearly designed to balance out the overabundance of pushed green and white creatures. Ironically, it's absolutely disgusting in combo with a card it was meant to hose: Restoration Angel. Do it on their draw step and watch their bitter tears flow!
And finally: Obvious EDH card is obvious. Overcosted? Check. Rare enchantment? Check. Quirky, splashy ability? Check. (Well, at least it's not red...)

I'm sorry but even overcosted crappy enchantments do not belong in EDH. Only mono-blue would use it if it was desperate enough.
Man, for the spoilers on 4th of July, they could have at least spoiled some DECENT cards instead of this stuff. It's all so... meh.
I think you're seriously undervaluing the zombie. I bet pretty strongly that he's going to be a presence in Standard sideboards for a while, at the very least until we see what Theros might bring us. I'm not calling it a Tarmojace (props to whomever came up with that term), but it's definitely at least decent.
And if you were looking for date-appropriate spoilers, you should have been hoping for them to preview a red card instead of the black one so that the spoiled cards would be red, white, and blue.

Imposing sovereign needed to be 2/2 to be decent.
Because they have to counterbalance the people saying "AGGRO IS OP"
Thanks to Rivenor of Miraculous Recovery Signatures!
Enchantment joins list of trash 6+ cmcs like back from the brink, grave betrayal, deaths presence, etc. not as bad as Search the City.

I've sworn it off. Non-rotating formats are where it's at.
They could also introduce a new replacement for lord instead of using nothing.
Lifebane Zombie is SCARY.
And lol, Dismiss into Dream is plain cruel Now they can't even pump their own creatures
No it won't

@topic: 2 really good cards, time will tell if they see play, but at least they are playable. 2 more cards i will look forward to.
the blue enchantment is this typical stupid enchantment red gets every set too^^
