Like the affinity/artifact stuff. Also, Feudkiller's Verdict knocked down to uncommon. And I would not want to meet that new countryside crusher in a dark alley. Looks beastly. Overall, nice, very nice.
Edit: I'm with everyone so far. Ravager art is very good. I like the poor little myr that he is about to eat.
EDH is like French fries: some people like waffle cut, crinkle cut, or plain old straight cut, and while there's slight flavor difference and personal preference, at the end of the day they're still fries.
So colored artifacts are the returning mechanic?

I'm not sure if I want a box of this anymore. The prospects of drafting a modern deck are awesome; giants is not a modern deck, slowfinity is not a modern deck, lack of bitterblossom makes fae not a modern deck, tokens is a modern deck but not saprolings. While I understand this set is meant to be drafted, this set was also supposedly for helping more people get into modern. I don't see that here with the price point that stores are selling it at and the quality of cards present.
Aww, that poor Myr I am stoked for the Arcbound Ravager. It was a shoe-in, but I am excited that I will finally be able to get my playset. I started in Mirrodin as a young lad and was sharked for my two Ravagers at one of my first tournaments (Darksteel Colossus was just too delicious for this young Timmy). I have always wanted to obtain a playset since then and now seems to be the time.
I like the rarity shifts. It makes me wonder if there are anymore unexpected cards coming down the pipeline for MM that were written off due to the rare-count.

Not sure if serious or not, this is for Modern Masters, not M14. Modern Masters is an all reprint set that won't be Standard legal. There are abazillion mechanics in it, all of them returning because there are no new cards.
Holy crap y'all, I was excited before but now I'm even more so. You all probably guessed it a long time ago, but the revelation of Etherium Sculptor and the presence of storm, all at common, has convinced me that Sensei's Divining Top is coming back as well. And given the patterns we've seen of good stuff being printed at its original rarity, I'd bet the top will be an uncommon.
This should make for a VERY interesting limited. I've never played standard or legacy and I had a big gap (I didn't play from Ice Age until Kamigawa), but I've heard a lot about these infamous archetypes (like Faeries and Storm) and now not only will I have a chance to see them all duke it out, I'll get to see imperfect versions of them duke it out. And probably pick up some good cards in the process!
That countryside crusher is a hugely improved artwork over the original! The affinity cards look awesome too. I'm hoping that we get a new token for Feudkiller's Verdict;
Because this one always made me sad when compared to the great art on the card itself.

I'm also really glad I sold my play set of him.
