I like the Herald of Dromoka for the Warrior deck. A bear that gives vigilance to all its friends seems fine to me. This set in general seems like it will be fun to draft. Also, hooray for Pacifism reprint and sort-of Distortion Strike.
Is it just me, or is Blessed Reincarnation terrible? Yes, I'll spend 4 mana to replace my opponent's creature with something that may have higher P/T, or a potent ETB effect.
Kekule_the_Magician on the inclusion of Devouring Light in a TurboFog Deck:
Quote from Kekule_the_Magician »
As a person who typically plays very creature oriented decks, I HATE when an opponent has Devouring Light. It is infuriating to finally get through with a creature on to have it exiled.
I've come to hate White in general now because it gets everything to the point where it is almost unfair. White has boardwipes (Wrath of God, End Hostilities), targeted exile and removal (Devouring Light, Banishing Light, Last Breath), lifegain spells, lifelink, low cost/high power enchantments and auras, flying creatures; my goodness what don't they get!?
EDIT: NEVERMIND - THE MOTHERLOAD!

Cards up! But see above!!
HOLY DRAGON HUNTER
Gleam of Authority looks like a powerhouse in limited.
I really like Silumgar Sorcerer. I think this could be really good in the right deck.
I know more than one annoying warrior deck that will love Blood-Chin Rager, it will probably replace Mogis's Marauder after rotation.
WHOA. Virulent Plague is a game-changer.
Berserkers' Onslaught has potential. In the right deck this card could be really powerful, especially because it is not symmetrical like Dictate of the Twin Gods.
Circle of Elders certainly makes Shaman of Forgotten Ways a lot better.
YES! I LOVE Explosive Vegetation, glad to see it getting a reprint.
Obscuring Aether is a card that looks like it could be insane, but most likely kinda sucks.

Man, I'm a little disappointed we got strictly worse Dismiss. Is Dismiss really that strong?
Is it weird that I'm excited to see Pacifism?
Profaner of the Dead is pretty sweet. One-sided bounce effect is powerful.
Fate Forgotten flavor text is hilarious. Someone dropped the ball there.
What blue legend? It's a cycle of former khans, not monocolor legends. Narset Transcendent fills the spot for clan Ojutai.
I've been away for a few sets - what's the flavor fail here?
I know, I was really excited to see that, too!
