The x Eldrazi is a super limited all star, and I guess I can see it in some counters matters standard shell. They finally made the x hydra, but after years of creature power creep it's probably not good enough. Doubling season reprint? I kind of just wish it had been a primordial hydra, or maybe gets a counter when something is ingested.
I don't know about the merfolk. It's not bad. It just feels UG, and should have said if it's an island add two more counters or some such. By making it W it competes with mentor which is flat out a better card. It's like Talrand had a merfolk baby, but he's not quite as strong as papa, and in the wrong colors.
I love the lands obviously. I will hoard many of them, and yank foils out of casual drafts with spikes at the table and be happy.
Endless One is clearly rare for Limited reasons, guys. We can't have that sort of thing running around at uncommon, let alone common. An X/X for X that goes in literally any deck? That would define the format by itself. As it is, it's a windmill slam first pick in most cases.

Anybody catch the " We made a new cycle of "spell lands" that enter the battlefield tapped but have an enter-the-battlefield effect." comment in the article about the merfolk? WHAT ARE THEY!!!!??? I hope they are good.

I can't believe this is going under the radar. Maro said there is another land cycle in the set with ETB effects. This is huge news.

So the answer is to print a terrible Rare?
It's fine if they want to bump this up for Limited,
but they should do *something* to make it more impressive-
even vigilance or reach would have been fine.

This is gonna be a fun deck that always has to have counter spell up to stop the Armageddon from landing lol. Or hell even Day of Judgement, lose all your lands. Maybe some form of storm style where you animate all your lands in one turn to haste kill cause otherwise it feels scary.

Endless One is easily this set's sleeper so far. It single-handedly gives hope to a possible Devoid Aggro strategy using Ghostfire Blade plus burn, while also giving much needed consistency, together with Honored Hierarch, for Avatar of the Resolute to finally shine as green's aggro premier two-drop.
If this is going for less than $2, get your playset asap. This dude is huge.
Noyan Dar, Roil Shaper seems like a fun Commander to build around. What a convenience he and Zada, Hedron Grinder happen to fit into Jeskai, eh? Perhaps they can find a place in Narset Commander decks? And there's always the option of a Jeskai Allies deck with Munda, Ambush Leader. Now we just need some Ally token spells to tie it all together.

MTGS Wikia Article about "New World Order"
Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.

Idk... Leyline of Vitality + Cloudstone Curio + 2x Endless One? (infinite life)

Ivy Elemental want to have words with you...
Also for people saying this set in underpowered and doesn't have any good card spoiled: I must have saw the spoiler season of another set...
But any ways MTGsalvation has a huge story of people under evaluating cards and then going nuts with it soo i m sure this set will be a huge sucess.

They'll die without an anthem. My suggestion is already 4 cards, so I wanted something multi-purpose, hence Leyline.

Among other reasons. There's also NWO stuff about keeping complexity down for at lower rarities.
NWO is only a thing for Commons,
and literally nothing about this card is "too complex," even for an NWO Common.

This set is weak??? Ill remember that when I exile the top twenty, and shut out all your even cost cards.
And Gideon is still my favorite spoil. He is freaking broken. If he is not on your list of "trade for/pray to the Gods to crack" then you are crazy.
BFZ is fantastic, so far. artwork/mechanics. Im all aboard!

Oh yeah, forgot about Enduring. That's way better.

Endless One is going to be good too, though I don't see it displacing Chimeric Mass in any sort of eternal deck.
Couldn't you already do that with Shifting Wall?
