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.
Some interesting things for limited here.
Stealth Mission - I can see this ending a few games, especially when paired with the Wardscale Crocodile, 7/5 hexproof, unblockable. Both commons as well.
Rescuer Sphinx - Base rate of a 3/2 flyer seems good. And quite easily becomes a 4/3 flyer, while resetting an uncommon planeswalker.
Makeshift Battalion - The name is suitably apt, since it has 'battalion' and we see the Boros leading Simic and Dimir into battle.
Wow just now noticed we have none watermarks on cards that for sure belong in one guild
Like those cards. a better Thrummingbird, one battalion card, one reset walker card and a support for amass in blue (that is not limited to only amass 2)
Boros, Simic and Dimir working together? That's not a common sight.
White Thrummingbird is welcome and imagine playing it with Tetsuko Umezawa, Fugitive for free proliferates on all of your walkers.

Guilds dont matter much when the alternative is total annhilation./quote] Doubt that Bolas is thinking about annihilating the plane. He would have planted bombs instead of rising an army and wouldn't bother bringing his own house and lawn ornaments, rather taking control of it after restoring his pre-mending powers.
EDIT: on the other hand, the guilds are not privy to his plans so... Makes sense.
That spirit repeatable Proliferate for white with 1 attack and 2 mana cost so it is easily reanimation target. Nice with Ajani, Adversary of Tyrants. I have to evaluate Serra the Benevolent again.
Not strictly better since thrummingbird is blue, rather than white. Also thrummingbird is a common (in Modern Masters 2015 Edition, so it is usable in Pauper). But, yeah, it is a better version (so long as you like White).
Thrummingbird is a horror, so it's resistant to thing in the ice. The counters interaction also helps. But grateful apparition is a spirit, so that's also useful.

It's definitely going to have homes though.
It feels like this wants to play with Cathars' Crusade.

This was what Bolas was trying to split the guilds for, The Guildpact is good for all 10 guilds and Bolas destroying it is bad.

1. Guilds dont matter much when the alternative is total annhilation.
2. Kaya doin ghosts a solid and gettin proliffed for her efforts (esp since shes now had 3 cards and 1 total + ability. She needs it!)
3. Wait, isnt that the woman in Mission Briefing?
EDIT: on the other hand, the guilds are not privy to his plans so... Makes sense.
I wish thrummingbird goes to green, but oh well this is fine.
These are quite decent limited cards.

Lazav also fighting the Eternals.. although in a stealthy way. I guess the dimir do not want direct combat.
