Pauper: Delvar; Tron; Flicker Stuff
Commander: Riku ("Some weird doubple spell thing happened"); Keranos ("I did a Gatherer search for 'random' and 'flip a coin.'"); Superfriends!
Even sets with a high price tag have to have filler rares. I don't think it would feel any different opening one of those vamps vs a kamigawa dragon from the first MMA...
I'll be happy if the limite environment is as fun.
As long as they avoid an Auriok Salvagers issue, I think we should be fine in the end.

Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
My Commander decks:
Chandra, Torch of Defiance - Oops! All Chandras. Prime Speaker Zegana - Draw for Power. Pir & Toothy - Counterpalooza. Arcades, the Strategist - Another Brick in the Wall. Zacama, Primal Calamity - Calamity of Double Mana. Edgar Markov - Vampires Don't Die. Child of Alara - Dreamcrusher.
If the format has to be draftable, and in Wizard's mind it has to, it must contain at least a big rare to pump every archetype. Not always such rares are constructed playable, and we have to accept it as it is. Both cards seem good in their respective strategy, what if you draft MM2015, pick them and win a draft to get other free packs?
For what it's worth, I like there being valueless rares. Enough of them should help the draft not costing 30$!
wait, that article's real? I'm so confused and sad about the card choice, but the article is written with such honesty and wisdom it's kinda awesome at the same time.
I'm SO SICK of the "too strong for Standard" argument. It's the new "Dies to removal". We can have a two mana 4/4 with a zillion abilities, but we can't just have Accumulated Knowledge. Makes sense.
Brimaz being on Daybreak Coronet art might as well be them saying "This should have been in Theros block."
Might as well say "We say it's an enchantment block but didn't even bother to put enough playable auras in the block to make this work." I'm still waiting for a non-God enchantment from Theros to pop into my head..... Waiting.... Waiting...... Nope.
It's about time! (And I like how they stuck in some Theros flavor, after all the complaining that it was missing from the enchantment block)
And more!

Thanks, I knew I missed something.
Also, Etched Champion is confirmed officialy in the gallery.

I like the Vampires idea. The casual crowd needs sweet reprints too (e.g., Captivating Vampire, Vampire Nocturnus)

Encouraged by the first days official spoilers. Though I don't doubt there will be some dross in there as well.

Wow. A second explosion! Like the art itself. Can it get worse?

I really doubt that. goyf could be the only valuable card in the set and people would still buy and hoard product, leading to overpriced drafts.
The other rares/mythic rares are fine.
It should have been in Theros block. It would have fit well with the theme.
