So basically they're functional reprints of Veteran Swordsmith and Veteran Armorsmith except they're BW, work for warriors instead of soldiers, and they're part of different clans? Pretty clever functional reprints, if you ask me.
The uncommons in this set are awesome. Whole lot of fun stuff all around. Mardu curving out of Bloodstained Brave into Chief of the Edge is terrifying, and Chief of the Scale turns Herald of Anafenza's tokens into effective copies of the Herald...Edge is probably more playable, but they're both solid cards.
EDIT: Something else that plays well with CotE is Mardu Charm's second mode. 4 first striking power out of nowhere for 3 mana? That's a quality combat trick. (whoops got the wrong charm the first time)

Sweet sweet simple designs . I love them! It's also interesting that they're pushing warrior tribal as a subtheme. I never would have expected that coming into this set.

Wow, weird that these are Orzhov colours, historically speaking.
You look at everything that combos with Warrior Tribal at the moment, and it is almost exclusively red or green (e.g. Lovisa Coldeyes, Sosuke, Son of Seshiro, Bramblewood Paragon).
I guess this marks a change in the Warrior tribe's direction...
So i guess there's a warrior sub theme. (I'm really surprised the Mardu one has the watermark, they don't seem to have any hard and fast rules over what gets watermarked and what doesn't)
Tormented Hero, Bloodstained Brave, and Goblin Rabblemaster are all warriors. The one that pumps power could be another cog in a Mardu or BW aggro deck and Mardu Ascendancy is already insane

Not too many, but note that Tormented Hero IS a 1-drop for this type of deck. And we don't know yet what other warriors will be printed in this set.
EDIT: Something else that plays well with CotE is Mardu Charm's second mode. 4 first striking power out of nowhere for 3 mana? That's a quality combat trick. (whoops got the wrong charm the first time)
The only, aside from color and type buffing, is the difference from Chief of the Edge costs 1 less than Veteran Swordsmith. Veteran Armorsmith has basically been functionally reprinted for Chief of the Scale.
WARRIOR, DAMMIT.
This is really cute though.
Works with Tormented Hero, new Gravecrawler, War-Name Aspirant (in a Mardu shell), among others.
