Ancient Grudge's flavor text was a goofy attempt at justifying the name on reprint, new Prey Upon flavor text is some world-building story background. I honestly don't see the similarity.
I love how much of white has been subverted to benefit black in both the flavor & mechanics of this block.
I'll be discarding alms to this all day! 3 dmg. 6 life. 2 payments of 2 mana. Flip your rider.
Might be time for me to go ahead & grab a felidar Sovereign lol
The best madness enabler in all of Standard is a white card. Go figure. I wonder if that actually has any constructed implications for the mechanic....
Peace of Mind absolutely killed what little hope remained for anyone wishing to play any sort of fast burn deck. I am not that much of a Red player but even I feel a little sorry for those who are.
I don't know, it was in Exodus.
Peace of Mind has its own synergy with Lobocop. (But yeah, white hellbent. Try to make that work.)

Card advantage is not the same thing as card draw. Something for 2B cannot be strictly worse than something for BBB or 3BB. If you're taking out Swords to Plowshares for Plummet, you're a fool. Stop doing these things!
I'm pretty sure that the new Peace of Mind is not a callback to Kindly Stranger. I think the only thing they have in common is being old ladies, and while I know that those don't come along every day in Magic, that doesn't make these two the same people. Further, Kindly Stranger wasn't so kind last time we saw her.
Also, these references are often done by the same artist, as we see here with Prey Upon.

Can you name all of the creature types with at least 20 cards? Try my Sporcle Quiz! Last Updated: 6/29/20 (Core Set 2021).

Too grainy to see for sure off my phone, but it appears her dress may have the same tentacle-ish stitchwork.
great thing here is they are using old artists again, nice to see Chris Moeller again, how we someday see Rebeca Guay and Rob Alexander and other old school artists.
This thread is full of idiots... Lightning Bolt is NOT being reprinted.
Many times has a writer in Wizards said so, because of the plain and simple fact that it's too powerful for what it costs. x/3 creatures shouldn't be able to die at instant speed for one mana without a signifigant drawback. (like PTE giving you a land)
I absolutely guarantee that LB will not be printed in M10, and you can quote me on that.
Since there are a lot of mutated Eldrazi cards in the set, people are saying there are too many. If there were any fewer, people would be saying that the big threat isn't having a convincing impact on Innistrad. Sigh.
Maybe shoudn't have used Emmrakull or the eldrazi at all
"Yeah, let's store away one of the biggest, baddest threats we've created in the multiverse because a few naysayers don't like it. It's not like they will be naggingly negative anyway on whatever other threat we create in its stead!"
I'm calling it right now- worst rare in the set. Even good limited players will find better bombs at common and uncommon no sweat. Worst. Episode. Ever.
I really do predict this to be our worst rare in set award winner. I'd be happier opening a jar of eyeballs, so I think anything worse is highly unlikely. This card wont just have zero constructed potential, but not be significantly better than a mass of ghouls in a draft.

Well, except the word "Dronepack." (Try reading that word without a sympathetic cringe cringing for whoever was tasked with writing it.)
This aint your girlfriends meta! This is a man's meta! TURBO META.
