Aerial Responder 1WW
Creature -- Dwarf Soldier (Uncommon)
Flying, vigilance, lifelink
2/3 Dwarves have an instinct for repair, an inherent understanding of how systems work, and a reputation for fearlessness. They're perfect candidates for the Fair's emergency response team.
Ceremonious Rejection U
Instant (Uncommon)
Counter target colorless spell. The judges at the Fair are held in such high esteem that a nod of recognition can inspire an inventor for a lifetime—and a wave of dismissal can end a career.
I like how the responder is a callback to Vampire Nighthawk. Also, that counter will be super useful out of the sideboard for dealing with emerge decks in standard.
It would have been too pushed it it countered target colorless spell and target ability at UU or 1UU?
Coz on cast effects still go on but...mhm it is quite good still
white dude is stupidly good in limited, but then again that's what white cards do nowadays. blue spell seems very, very promising. Sure, have all the cast triggers you want, but countering emrakul & friends for 1 blue mana makes more than up for it.
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.
Oh wow, BFZ just got nerfed hard. Morph cries at this as well.

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.
Wow, a real vintage playable. Like, pretty damn insane vintage playable as it gives blue decks an answer to workshops that's pretty great and out of non workshop decks people still jam moxen and lotus and such.
So they remade vampire nighthawk with vigilance instead of lifelink? That is insane. One of the best cards in the set, especially for limited. Here's hoping they push dwarves hard.

"Yawgmoth," Freyalise whispered as she set the bomb, "now you will pay for your treachery."
I don't know if everyone comments here about standard or dosn't play anything besides it but modern has Cavern of Souls so it does not affect the modern Eldrazi deck that much.
Still blue decks are going to side it in anyways, and it even works against Affinity and Tron as a great sideboard option.
With the blue one I really get "Oh youre playing Tron/Eldrazi/Affinity? That's cute...". At 1 it could see play in lots of places but mostly as sideboard tech.
Dwarf seems quite pushed from a limited perspective and making it a 3/3 would absolutely have been a step too far.

EDH BRGKresh the BloodbraidedBRG, A box of lands and ideas.
Modern: RG Titanshift. A deck made of cards too stupid for EDH.
Retired: Lots. More than I feel you should suffer through or I should type out.
Everyone realizes this is more for artifacts than any relevant eldrazi right? This doesn't stop Emrakul, Ulamog, Kozilek, TKS, or anything with emerge.

Pretty sure this stops TKS in standard, rest of them still get cast triggers off
Ugin is going to get really bad once all the fatties are colourless. I sold all mine. Sell sell sell!
He's going to be absolutely rotten. Hangarback walker has already nerfed him quite significantly. I reckon he'll be $3 junk within 2 months of rotation
Step 2: Enjoy taking the bite out of Emerge creatures. Most of the triggers aren't really worth sacrificing a creature and spending that much mana to get what? 2 1/1 bugs? Draw a card?
Considering that Annul is Modern-legal its usefulness in Modern SBs remains to be seen, as most of the colorless spells you'd want to counter are artifacts anyway, except for Karn or Ugin, still it may have its uses, it's better to hose Affinity AND Tron with just a single card.
Like if the white creature makes you even more ecstatic Coco is rotating.
Good solid white creature. I'm fine with good small white creatures but cards like Archangel Avacyn should not exist for white. White's thing is good small creatures, not insanely good big flash flying creatures(Resto angel I'm looking at you!).
Also, the blue counterspell has sideboard written all over it. Wicked efficient. Usually WotC doesn't print hate cards in the same set they target but I guess they're worried about another Scars of Mirrodin(or Original Mirrodin). If artifacts get too good, this cards flat shuts them down. As a bonus, also shuts down the eldrazi everyone is sick of too. Emrakul cast is great but the main thing that made it great is having a 13/13 flying trample to go with it. Mindslaver is good but people have shown just resolving emrakul isnt enough to win. It's even less enough to win when Emrakul is in the GY.
As for modern, 2 of the 3 top decks right now are Affinity and Eldrazi with Tron being a 3rd but not as played. Blue control and/or tempo decks struggle against 2 of those decks(tron and bant eldrazi) and this hoses both...WELL DONE WOTC! About time blue got a good counterspell again. Delver decks may start seeing more play(already a great deck but one that requires among the highest skill to play at peak efficiency IMO) with the u/r fastland and now this to help in the sideboard.

Excuse me, but this thing destroys TKS, Reality Smasher, Displacer, Reshaper, Chalice, Karn and Ugin among others. Say WHAT again??

"Sorry, but you are not allowed to join inventors contest".
Sad to see the 2/3 trend continue, but the Aerial Responder is a great way to counter the hordes.
Dang, that's some solid hate.

lol that dwarf...XD

Hold your horses this does not stop the power of the eldrazis
Because most eldrazis have cast abilities remember?

Also, how to make a SB if you're playing Blue in the upcoming metagame:
Step 1: Add 3 or 4 Ceremonious Rejection
