Not sure if they spoiled that on purpose or not...
I mean they had to have been given the card image in the first place, and I'm pretty sure Josh Lee Kwai is a professional video editor. There's no way they did this by accident.
Damn I thought Hero's Downfall was getting a reprint as well. I was about to ask why the hell they even printed Vraska's Contempt.
Lol I know right, it seems like they wanted to have some exile shenanigans next to all that eternalize crap in Amonkhet.
Oh yeah, they gave us lots to combat both Eternalize, Embalm, and Gods like (counting only Amonkhet forward) Vraska's Contempt, Blazing Hope (if you're almost dead), Baffling End (if it's small enough and you might give them a creature so it kind of evens out)Magma Spray (if the creature is small enough), Reaver Ambush (if they are small enough), Time to Reflect (if you play zombies), Settle the Wreckage (if they attack with the non token first), and Profane Procession.
So a whole two cards with no stipulations to exile something. Yep, they really wanted "some" and two is....some.
Now for graveyard removal we have Scarab Feast, Scavenger Grounds, Crook of Condemnation, Sentinel Totem, and Silent Gravestone. Better here, but relaly they want you to deal with the creature first before removing it entirely and hoping they don't bring it back before you can do both destroying it and removing graveyards. Nothing like a good two for one to get rid of a card that's returning.

WoTC tends to have a very strange interpretation of what people mean when they want stronger answers. They don't want a shotgun blast of garbage answers, they want freaking Swords to Plowshares, Hero's Downfall, or Doomblade. I still don't understand why there was no Go for the Throat back in kaladesh block, either. That would have been the best spot to actually use it alongside Shattering spree. Oh right, no core sets. Genius wizards...

Well there goes Thragtusk representing M13. Looks like I lost $5 on this bet.
there should be more than one card per set.
btw, do we know when official spoilers start? I'm really pumped for this! hopefully we get some nice rarity downshift for pauper

Nice limited card, especially at common. Nice to see it has the original art and some funny flavor text. Nothing too bad here, though a Hero's Downfall reprint would have been nice. Nothing prohibits that though.

Oh, they actually meant literally every set rather than every expert level expansion.
Does that mean we will get watermarks for Alpha? Will these early sets without set symbol finally get a symbol to represent them? That's a cool prospect. I have high hopes for Giant Growth.
The fact that this card isn’t Terror makes me sad. I want that old school Beta Terror in my life. Well I guess I just hold out hope.

In case I didn't tell you, I don't care about your opinion I just want your facts. And not the facts that make you seem smart. I want the ones that are actual facts.

Every set actually does have a set symbol on Gatherer, even if the cards don't have them.
If it wasn't already popular. It was common in M13 as well.

Prints in Masters sets aren't standard legal and AFAIK, this one isn't any different.

Since Volcanic Island is on the Reserved List, I assume Circle of Protection: Black eill be the card from Beta.

I hope they don't use those because those barely qualify as placeholders. Can you imagine how they would look as watermarks?
