Is Doom Whisperer as good as I think he is? Being able to dump your GY for GY shenanigans and guarantee draws is like crazy good right?
That's a very good card. Remember when Abyssal Persecutor was considered pushed?
I wasn't sold on Lazav, the Multifarious at first glance. After sitting on it for a while and talking to a friend, I think there's a lot more potential for an interesting deck. Small defensive and unblockable creatures like Invisible Stalker and Thassa, God of the Sea, then turn into big threats like Ebonblade Reaper and Phyrexian Dreadnought to hit your opponents. Have a reanimator backup plan because you're already trying to dump creatures into the yard.

Price of Fame looks solid to me. 4 is above curve but 2 is below, and adding a better scry 2 is no small add. I'll probably play it in plenty of decks, although I wouldn't call it an auto-include by any stretch.
Absolutely love the design on Lazav, the Multifarious. The fact that you have to pay the full cmc means you aren't incentivized to go straight to eldrazi titans, but can reasonably focus on low cmc utility dudes like invisible stalker and kefnet the mindful. Huge improvement over their all-too-common design philosophy of legends that synergize best with playing the biggest, dumbest stuff you can.
Well, it looks like Boros got yet another combat-focused commander with the new Aurelia, & not even a good one, at that! It must be frustrating to be a Boros player & keep hoping WotC will throw you a bone.

Those cards have either pretty significant restrictions, not-insignificant downsides, or are GftT/VoN which are both really good and see lots of play (and still less than they should). This one has no restrictions at 4 cmc, and comes with significant additional upside. Surveil 2 has to be, like, at least 1/2 a card of value.
I think it's probably in my top 10 for black targeted removal spells. Won't be an auto-include, but for removal-heavy decks I think it'll make the cut.
Mission Briefing is different from Snap in a couple of significant ways.
There is no ETB that has to resolve to target the spell you want to flashback, and under MB you can pay alternate costs of spells like Traps, Delve or Overload for example.
Oh you can also Get the original spell off the stack and back to hand, it will only exile if it hits the GY this turn, buyback is a monster with Mission Briefing as well.
Not saying they are going to decide games, but happy they didn't just reprint the signets.
Of course you don't play them over signets, you play them in addition.

Considering that if you're going for someone's commander or other legendary creature it cost you 1B.
Today could be a big day if we get Boros legends. Lotta pressure. Lot of pressure.

Price of Fame is an instant, not a sorcery. I agree it's not that great, though surveil 2 is nice.

If you extend to BB cost, there's also Devour in Shadow, Malicious Affliction, and Victim of Night. All 2-mana instants that can destroy most creatures, legendary or not. And let's not forget Ghastly Demise, Slaughter Pact, and Vendetta to kill most creatures for even less than 2 mana. Even this set has Nectrotic Wound.While I agree that it's niche and costs too much most of the time, it's an instant not a sorcery.
I think so. I think it should be considered as a topdeck tutor in suicide black, and amazing value for any deck that cares about its graveyard.
