I wish my 4/4s with haste and first strike that acted as Goblin Warchiefs were better and didn't die to instants and overshadowed all other 4 drops in the format. And that they had evasion too, and some way to dodge wrath effects.
Nice Spirit sub-theme here. Is it too much to ask for Oyobi, Who Splits (your head) the Heavens?
Nice seeing Ghost Council back with old art, more foils out there now...

Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
The "Crazy One", playing casual magic and occasionally dipping his toes into regular play since 1994.
Currently focusing on Pre-Modern (Mono-Black Discard Control) and Modern (Azorious Control, Temur Rhinos).
Find me at the Wizard's Tower in Ottawa every second Saturday afternoons.
I doubt Hikari will effect pauper commander at all. I play a fair bit of that format, and that card just doesn't seem good. Radiant, Archangel seems a lot better (since it's an uncommon in vintage masters), but I'd still rather just play something like Cloudgoat Ranger...
Anyways, I'm of mixed opinions of a Kiki reprint. He's a very good card (I managed to draft him + woodfall primus last time which was amusing), but I sort of don't want him to be more accessible in the sense that more people will just be jamming him + zealous conscripts in every red commander deck they have just because they have one laying around now.
-edit- Also not surprised at the scion's downshift in rarity (though rare to common is funny). It's just not a very strong card without evasion, and with something like Crusader of Odric already showing up at lower rarity a couple years later, I'm not too surprised.
So Thief of Hope and Ghost Council of Orzhova. Hmm glad to see those bad boys in the set but does anyone else thing wizards is subconciously trying to get us to play Ghost Dad again XD. All we need is tallowisp now.

Most of this seems possible, but I doubt Oyobi will be in the set at all since we can only have so many expensive creatures.
I have similar doubts concerning Oyobi. I just had a hell of a time finding actual payload cards for a B/W spirit strategy.
(I forgot about Celestial Kirin, also. Another candidate for a rarity downshift.)
The legends seem like they would be too powerful for a downgrade. Destroying stuff or making 3/3 flyers at instant speed and having to play against that on a regular basis would be frustrating.
The more I think about the Kirin in limited, the more I think you're right. I just seems much to obnoxious at UC. I'd say Oyobi is fine though; it costs a lot and needs investment to actually be good.
That is true, 7 man isn't easy for B/W. If they do happen to make any shifts, I have a U/W/b peasant spirit deck that will be very happy with any of those changes.

I hope no one remembers how broken W/B spirits is in draft. Add some soulshift and a broken ghost dad. Also this makes me miss not having combat damage use the stack. Ghost Council was so broken back then. Just hoping to crush faces with thief of hope again.

Only once before with Apprentice Wizard, but that was somewhat of a dubious U1 Rare.
You can BET tallowisp will be in this set.
Ghost-Dad was a "real" deck and used spirits, searching for auras will be a thing.
I said it, Tallowisp is pretty much "guaranteed" , unless they are drunk.

Easily the spirits. You just need 21 one of them.
6 to sac, 15 to block
Talking about Emrakul, the Aeons Torn here.
If Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre shows up instead then well GG, bro.

Storm Crow is strictly worse than Seacoast Drake.
Weird, i like it better than the old art.

Scion as a common, that just feels... oh so right! Nice job wotc!

That said I like Twilight Drover and Celestial Crusader as well as the gimme spectral procession. Too bad there is no chance for lingering souls
(Although maybe Wayfaring Temple is a better choice, tokens are green and white after all)

It's also happened once in the opposite direction with the equally dubious Wyluli Wolf shifting up to rare for 5th and 6th edition.
