I had an idea today that would further drive the nail into the coffin of lands in this set
add - 5
All of these should be eaten up by the borderposts. Makes me glad that Wizards isn't trying to shoehorn lands into an all multicolored set. Colored lands just don't work (imo).
I wonder if the art for this is the that guy riding the large gargoyle... I can't seem to find the picture for it, but it would explain the 4/4 body. I also believe the art kind of depicted the guy judging something, which makes sense for an adjudicator.
I fear I am probably wrong. The adjucator apparently doesn't have flying, and this art most definitely depicts a creature with flying. Maybe Sphinx Summoner?
I feel as though Red is making a strong resurgance in Conflux. Between this, Banefire and Volcanic Fallout, Red has answers to a lot of aggro based and control based decks.
Wow a turn 3-4 play to the Turn 4-5 Realmrazing decks... neat. =|
Gwafa is hella interesting though. Maralen anyone?
I'm liking it's flavor! I think i can run a pretty cheap field ctrl with this.
I totally thought of Maralen of Moonsong when I saw Gwafa. It sucks that such a cool design is pidgeonholed into something like Maralen, but I don't see it being any use otherwise. It seems interesting that they would throw a one-of type of counter into a set like this. I remember reading a Wizards article a while ago how they love to keep all counters the same in a set (like -1/-1 or +1/+1, charge counters, etc.).

Either bringing them down to 0 with Countersquall, Punish Ignorance, or Syphon Life... or you mill them with Jace Beleren? Sure, there isn't a big, huge finisher, but it doesn't need it.
EDIT: Here is the picture I was talking about : http://media-dominaria.cursecdn.com/attachments/61/638/635032486676917292.jpg
