Whenever Torrent Elemental attacks, tap all creatures defending player controls. 3 : Return Torrent Elemental from exile to the battlefield tapped. Activate this ability only any time you could cast a sorcery.
Nice. Cool card but it definitely doesn't have the same level of power as some of the other mythics in the set. Also, at 5 mana I think there are better options for Sultai.
hm, not sure if this is good or not.
I guess you can delve it away and play it, but it seems underwhelming.
Isn't prognostic sphinx just better?

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
I could see this as a potential finisher in Temur.
It lets your whole board through when it swings. There have been so many times where I've had stalled board states with no way to really finish the game even with mass creature presence. Worth a shot, anyways.
Wow, blue gets another potential finisher! I'm kind of bummed how good blue gets it. Sure, green, go ahead and do your manifests, I'll just win by tapping everything down, reccuring my guys through delve (gee, I wonder if there is any playable blue delve cards?).
At least it comes back tapped.
Hey, I just figured it works great in conjunction with prognostic sphinx: protect your sphinx by pitching this, delve it out, play it back. Sick.
Maybe he just turns a blind eye to anything that is blue colored. He probably *reflected* and now thinks returning from exile is a part of the ever-consuming blue color pie slice.
So, we now have 4 monoclorored Sultai mythics and none Abzan, great job wizards.
Where are you seeing this? The mythics spoiled so far are:
Monastery Master (W, Jeskai)
Soulfire Grand Master (W, Jeskai)
Temporal Tresspass (U, Sultai)
Torrent Elemental (U, Sultai)
Shaman of the Great Hunt (R, Temur)
Whisperwood Elemental (G, Temur)
Ugin (Colorless, Unaffiliated)
And we can be pretty sure we'll get a Green Abzan version of this cycle, as well as a Black Mardu one. There should also be a monored or a monoblack mythic taking up the tenth spot, that will be either Mardu or Abzan.

He's mentioned a few times that things returning themselves from exile is something he doesn't like, but will accept if it's best for the card/set. His largest problem is with cards that can return other cards from exile, which he's been largely successful in keeping off cards (Runic Repetition being the sole counterexample I can think of).
And the last one hopefully a red dragon as they can't print 'the dragon set' without actually it having an epic red dragon creature. The art from yesterday's Uncharted Realms still needs a card and that's probably it.
Yep. Because it's obvious that Fate Reforged, and not, you know, Dragons of Tarkir is going to be "the dragon set".

That art looks amazing.

The escape from Exile ability is smart, much safer design than Misthollow Griffin.
Clearly meant to be friends with The Mimeoplasm.
You'll hear from many saying it's good with Force of Will too.

Last I heard, they thought Pillarfield Ox was playable too. Oops, I mean Pearl Lake Ancient.
