Top is awesome.
Balance is the same case as Necropotence, stupid powerful, but only really played in casual, so it doesn't have that much value, still, totally holds it's weight in the set.
Top is good, especially at rare. Strange that they put the shaman of the pack in, considering it was just in origins. Timberwatch is good, though, same with symbiote.
YES! Top was #1 on my wishlist. Tje old art is better, but a reprint should bring the price down.
Balance is straight up stupid. I might as well be an ad card, where the hell would I play it? It's banned in EDH and Legacy, and it's totally unfun for casual kitchen table magic. A mythic rare that's only there for limited? I suppose it's an elegant solution for a crap mythic.

Stay reasonable, be mindful of your expectations and don't feed the trolls.
Top! Guess that pretty much guarantees that the slot between Control Magic and Daze is going to be Counterbalance... who wants to draft CounterTop in Limited?
I love Shaman of the Pack being reprinted already. One of my more favorite cards recently released, and this does bode well for Elves in limited. Can't wait to get a handle on some foils of it now, since the original print spiked up.
I'm a little worried that they didn't put heritage druid in. It's probably the elf with the greatest need of a reprint.

+1 Roland does 1 damage to up to 6 target creatures, players or plainswalkers.
-2 Roland twirls a bullet casing. Tap all opponents creatures.
-11 Reset life totals to 20 x the number of activations of this ability. Begin a new game shuffling all cards into owners decks except for Roland who remains in play.
Also, can storm be a non-blue archetype? Otherwise, with UB out and eternal storm having to be black we have to rule it out...
Well, I can't talk for Legacy-level, but I've definitely seen mono-red storm decks at my kitchen table. Grapeshot and Empty the Warrens have a lot to answer for (even Ignite Memories, believe it or not).

Anyone complaining about Shaman needs to stop. It was clearly printed for tribal purpose and at UC it is a solid inclusion. This set was again designed for limited play.
Also I don't know about anyone else but Balance... sigh... maybe not so much Limited here for me haha
It's legal in casual and restricted in Vintage. Can't wait to use this $10 value mythic in..
An enigma as vexing as life itself.
Balance is the same case as Necropotence, stupid powerful, but only really played in casual, so it doesn't have that much value, still, totally holds it's weight in the set.
the tribal uncommons are alright.

Why would you buy a top... Knowing they were printing EMA?
-2 Roland twirls a bullet casing. Tap all opponents creatures.
-11 Reset life totals to 20 x the number of activations of this ability. Begin a new game shuffling all cards into owners decks except for Roland who remains in play.
If this set gets players more interested in Legacy, then your top will probably go up in price in a year or so.
