Harnessed Lightning looks like it might become the red removal of choice. Pity it can't hit players, but that would have meant dialing back abilities to gather energy.
Wispweaver Angel is beautiful. I really like the design of the Angels and Demons for Kaladesh. It's like a taste of the plane's more "mythological" past before the explosion of technology.
Whispweaver's going to get a lot of comparisons with Restoration Angel and most will be unfavorable, but I'm a big fan of her lack of "non-Angel" constraint on the blink trigger.
Morbid Curiosity is like a black Life's Legacy, not bad. Fortuitous Find isn't too shabby either.
Still hoping we get something big from this stream. I could have sworn during the first panel they mentioned they'd be showing us Dovin's card at PAX, like 99.9% positive that was said.
They also have a closing program where sarkhan-volkswagen (a tumblr blogger who working with wizard on pax by live blogging) say people might want watch that so plenty of time for something big like Chandra or Dovin ect.

Oh good. Hopefully that's not too long from now, gotta try and get a little more sleep in before I have to leave for work. Graveyard shift life yo.
And ooooh boy does this match feel like amateur hour. LSV is playing for the guy ffs.

Wispweaver on field
Clone enters the battlefield, targets Wispweaver, chooses to blink Wispweaver
Wispweaver blinks out, blinks back in and blinks the clone
Clone blinks out and blinks back in
If I am not mistaken, you get infinite entering the battlefield and leaving the battlefield triggers, but that's it.

You don't call "dying to removal" if the removal is more expensive in resources than the creature. If you have to spend BG (Abrupt Decay), or W + basic land (PtE) to remove a 1G, that is not "dying to removal". Strictly speaking Goyf dies to removal, but actually your removal is dying to Goyf.
On the bright side, standard finally got its searing spear. We might have a real aggro deck for once.
Can't hit players though. Still, in any deck that has a few Energy cards the ability to instant-speed deal 4-5 damage is extremely good, and so is the ability to Shock or ping something and still get an energy out the deal.
Voltaic Brawler is a powerhouse. I really doubt this card will not see Standard play. Longtusk Cub also has pretty solid potential, only held back by the flood of 2/3s in Standard. But seriously though Wizards, ENOUGH GREEN BUSTED STUFF ALREADY. Green has been the top dog for what, 3 or 4 years now?
Morbid Curiosity seems pretty good. In Standard, could enable some janky combos with Emerge, but it's just mostly a powerful card for Commander.
Only really helpful if you have something like Warstorm Surge or something that triggers when a creature ETBs.
In Modern there are pretty cheap enablers like Altar of the Brood and Impact Tremors that even work through Hexproof effects like Leyline of Sanctity and are just as good in multi-player, effecting all opponents at once.
Interesting with Fortuitous Find, i think it's the first time black is able to grab something that isn't a creature. Cool card.
Nope, black was able to pick up lands before: Grim Discovery
Haha wow. Kinda cool when a set is heavy into a theme, black gets a random card for it. Zendikar with lands and now with artifacts. Too bad with theros, you were only able to get enchantment creatures.
In Mirrodin you could even straight reanimate an artifact with Beacon of Unrest.
I'm not entirely sold on it myself, as the spell is limited to creature damage. If this had been the new Lightning Strike I would have been a lot more pumped. Creature damage is good mind you, when you have a Gearhulk barreling down on you, but as a Burn player this spell falls flat.
