In the same way you can tell someone is from the XVIII century because he is arroused by ankles, you can tell someone is from USA because he feels nipples disturbing.
There are some solid inclusions in these decks. Magma Jet, Curse of the Swine, Polis Crusher, Gift of Immortality, Nylea's Bow, Erebos's Whip... I rather like these decklists. I wish they wouldn't have included M14 cards though. Meh...
One has a Whip, another has a Bow. That makes two god weapons. That's pretty cool.
Whip feels a little out of place, especially with that selection of creatures, but I suppose the deck shouldn't be a hardcore reanimator deck after all.
Considering these are Intro Packs, these aren't too bad. I do miss having 3-ofs in theme decks, but diversity can be a strength and it's reasonable that there aren't 3- or 4-ofs.
Good eye.. I missed it. The white one seems like the worst of the bunch as you either end up with a God weapon or some pretty sweet uncommons in the other ones.

Well, for what it's worth, the WB Favors of Nyx deck has Pillarfield Ox.
Given that it's the deck showcasing the Bestow mechanic, you really can't reasonably hope for too much. However, the deck does have Blightcasters and there's potential for Auramancer/Gift of Immortality interactions, presumably to support Erebos's Emissary or suicidal enchantment creatures.
It's a bit disappointing that there's not much in the way of defence or evasion in the Favors of Nyx deck.
Oh wow, each one of the decks has a decent rare in it. That's definitely pretty cool. That will also change what I decide to preorder as well. Glad that at least five of the rares I want will be easier to obtain.
That's better for the dealers, honestly. The previous intro decks worthed nothing and were mostly busted for the packs they contain inside to have enough packs for draft. At least these decks can be given out as prices.
I'll probably get the red/green deck. If the prices stay the same and they include two booster packs it's something I'd consider. Gotaa get my hands on those magma jets
Man, 2 Magma Jet and Lightning Strike in the red deck, plus Polis Crusher. That's really not bad.
They all seem decent, actually! Also Curse of the Swine in the blue one means it won't be expensive for me to make a deck based on killing the enemy with a bunch of flying pigs, so great.

Overall they look good. not as good as the old Theme Decks but good for intro packs... kind of remenber the Zendikar and Alara ones.
also there is another one hopefully we get Bow of Nylea.
Nice.
