Ya, most of the cards revealed are control cards and removal. Hopefully we'll get the God cards with these, although those are not going to be spoiled together with the rest, for obvious reasons.

I have a feeling that the five cards from Amonkhet are *not* the gods.

It's about time for the reserved list to die, for the sake of Vintage and Legacy (And Commander).
Last night, I was discussing with friends and commented on there not being any new cards in the Invocations, while Expeditions & Inventions each had five cards from the corresponding set/block.
My hypothesis is that instead there will be five reprints from among the Invocations in Amonkhet, and today Aven Mindcensor was spoiled, lending support to the idea.
Now the question is, what are the remaining four reprints?
I am guessing
Retainers may be problematic in Modern Goryo's Vengeance decks, but it thematically appropriate to Amonkhet, is White, CMC 3, and has casting and activation timing restrictions.
Oh, and they don't give any believable impression that they test for Modern.
Edit: I was under the impression all of the Invocations had been spoiled, but was recently informed there are five open slots from the number crunch, presumably for gods.
That makes this hypothesis less likely, but still worth considering, given Mindcensor.

Good list! Except Jokulhaups. The Masterpieces have been established as being re-branded and fitting in with the flavor of the plane the set is based in.
I also forgot Vindicate, which should be on any sorceries masterpiece set. And look! It is! (Though this isn't just sorceries.)
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!
You say this, and yet we got Ornithopter last set...
And it was GLORIOUS!
Speaking of, the first Invocation has been revealed. It was Aven Mindcensor.
Edit: Followed by Maelstrom Pulse. Guess who was right, me!

As do I. I want that counterspell tho. The others are nice, but I really, really, want that counterspell.
