Probably that XXBBBB spell Maro mentioned would impact standard. That's my guess.
Where did you see about this?
Delve is a fine keyword that uses the GY as another mana source, which is interesting because it is a limited resource. If the cards are well designed, its the kind of keyword that makes you think before playing. I like the charm, and the outlast card is interesting
Sorry, it wasn't Maro, I had misremembered the quote.
Last time they said something like that about a hugely costed Black spell (when they previewed Liliana of the Dark Realms, they said that particular card would go GREAT with her emblem), we got Diabolic Revelation. So I wouldn't put too much stock in this.

If MTG is a part of your life, the formats are like relationships:
Standard/Block = The on-again, off-again holiday fling
Modern/Vintage/Legacy = Stable, homely. A ***** after absence/misreading
Limited/Sealed = Heart breaking free spirit
Commander/Cube = Agreeable, needy and expensive
Pauper/Peasant = Sweet, kind, practical, but shy and boring
What? One-sided Abyss is really good. Unless you're playing a token deck or you've fallen super far behind, that emblem will go a long way.
He's an alright card, not as good as the previous one though. It's basically a flip of the abilities from Lord of Innistrad. Waiting to see what else we'll see in the set to support him.
LOL @ Herald of Anafenza! The card is packed with several lines of ridiculous text. Oh how silly we are nowadays with the way we insist on keywording things.... to the point where we can't understand the card intuitively and it takes up line after line
2W, T: Put a +1/+1 counter on Herald and a 1/1 white Warrior creature token onto the battlefield. Play as a sorcery.
But I'm a fan of 1/2s for W, so I like the card.
And the other cards don't really inspire me too much, but overall I'm enjoying the feel of the set and design. A lot of it feels pretty tired and "done", but at the same time I think there's enough to keep me interested.

Sorin 3.0, Teferi, Sorin 1.0 and Kiora also do nothing with their ultimates until after the turn ends.
Storm Crow is strictly worse than Seacoast Drake.
