Chandra, Enflamed (RRR)
+2: During target opponent's next turn, target creature that opponent controls must attack if able.
-2: Chandra, Enflamed gains loyalty counters equal to the damage dealt to players this turn.
-7: Take an extra turn. At the end of that turn, you lose the game.
Because I like thinking about the card for a bit before I jump to a conclusion.
So after giving it some thought, this is pretty beefy in Limited. The two-man requirement will turn this into garbage for Standard, unless Selesnya pulls a "two creatures are indestructible until the end of turn" instant out of its rear. Even then, I don't think this would be more than a 1-of.
I'd like to point your attention to the first card spoiled: Rootborn Defenses.
I'm not a part of this series, but I just happened to notice that going by the point breakdown XScorpion has 31 points in total, but 30 is listed. Why is that?
I think that line of thinking very faulty. If that's what will be the telltale sign, all they need to do is hide the card symbol when previewing, and that's that.
I decided to ask the question "How would Wizards be able to pull this off until the final release?" Some of the things I think they'll do include:
- Hiding the set symbol (including during the pre-release).
- Show Phyrexian/Mirran cards (as in, a hybrid of the both in one card that would fit into either set) in their previews; or alternate between Mirrodin and Phyrexian previews on the mothership.
I don't think they'll hide the watermarks, though.
For the Rumor Mill, I'm getting 404 Errors each time I get to the last page of a thread (if it's a one-page thread, the entire thread). I'm not sure what's causing it.

Vs. X-Scorpion (#11)
If I go first, though:
Turn 1
Forest, Nature's Claim a Leyline
Me (20), X-S (24)
Tokens attack (2/2, 2/2, 2/2)
Me (14), X-S (24)
Turn 2
Forest, Protean Hydra (X=1) (1/2)
Me (15), X-S (24)
Tokens attack, Protean Hydra blocks one and grows. (2/2, 2/2, 2/2)
Me (11), X-S (24)
Turn 3
No attacking (2/3)
Tokens attack, Protean Hydra blocks one and kills it. (2/2, 2/2, 2/2)
Me (7), X-S (24)
Turn 4
No attacking (4/5)
Tokens attack, Protean Hydra blocks one and kills it. (2/2, 2/2)
Me (5), X-S (24)
Turn 5
If he attacks, his token dies, I win the race. I can attack him down to 12 (and me down to 1), but we'd be at a creature stalemate then.
I think it's higher for me than a 0-6 for him.
=============
Also, vs. Feyd_Ruin, it's a 2-2 because Smallpox ruins me, and Aether Vial dies to Nature's Claim. I can hold Leyline to pitch to Smallpox.

As you can tell, it worked~
