I really don't think Jin will be the end all be all people seem to think he is. Seems like for 10 mana you could be doing something a little more... deadly?
Could also be wishful thinking on my part... I REALLY don't like blue.
None. I feel like they will be just another creature fad like the Eldrazi were a little while ago. I think people are going to be bored of them pretty soon.
Vorinclex - He's the first Mana Reflection on a creature outside of Keeper of Progenitus (unless you count Eladamri, Lord of Leaves), and unlike Keeper, not only is he one-sided, but he also hurts your opponents. I have two decks that will definitely like him.
Jin-Gitaxias - Just another big blue guy that fills your hand, which are always pretty solid. Nicol Bolas likes this.
Elesh Norn - It's another creature with wrath capabilities. Akroma, Angel of Wraths likes that, as the deck is chock full of wrath effects and always likes more. I might also try it out in Hazezon as another Tutorable wrath effect (currently only have False Prophet)
Sheoldred - Both abilities are undeniably powerful. However, my Geth deck doesn't run a ton of creatures and my Endrek deck likes to minimize which ones it runs at >6 cmc.
Urabrask - My two decks with red only run it as a supporting color. I might consider it in Hazezon as another tutorable way to grant haste, but it's questionable.

While their all really good,I can't wait to start using Vorinclex the most.
Having Trample,Mana Reflection,and keeping your oppenents mana tapped seems like a huge game breaker to me.
Plus with all the ramp green has,this could be droped out very early in the game.SCARY.

Why can't we vote "ALL OF THEM"? I want ALL OF THEM!
Edit: Voted Elesh, becuase she has the best picture. HM to Urbask and all the others!
EDIT2: DAMN! I COULD HAVE VOTED FOR ALL OF THEM!
Thanks for the laughs man
Yeah, I set the poll up that way on purpose. So far it seems like Sheoldred is winning. I'm a little surprised by that but I sure can't deny how strong her shenanigans are. If you're not playing a token deck and she comes down across the table from you, you got problems
I said Norn because she makes Crovax look pathetic in comparison.
Sadly, I wish the green one did not have his second ability, because then he might be allowed to untap with him. in multiplayer. The first ability is better on longer lasting enchantments anyway.
None. I feel like they will be just another creature fad like the Eldrazi were a little while ago. I think people are going to be bored of them pretty soon.
Good, maybe they'll be $2 rares like Geth then. Why, oh why, is Urabrask so much right now!?
Elesh Norn, if I can come up with a creature base I find acceptable. I really like what she does, but I don't like the idea of her leading angels or soldiers.

Urabrask for sure. He's the only one I'm really looking forward to. While they're all powerful, they're also not really interesting and I don't think they'll be much fun to play in general. Urabrask is the exception in my eyes as he has a smaller but important effect. He's also another hasty Living Death enabler, which I can't really get enough of. Plus, Haste.
I've already preordered a few copies of him. Haven't done the same for any other Praetors.
I like Vorinclex a lot, and I'm excited to play against the Sheoldred deck(s) people in my store will build. I'm planning to build a mono colored deck of each color eventually, and she seems like a fun one.

I'm really excited about Elesh Norn. She has the potential to clear the board and even if she doesn't, she's crazy advantageous in aggro vs. aggro matchups.
Vorinclex - He's the first Mana Reflection on a creature outside of Keeper of Progenitus (unless you count Eladamri, Lord of Leaves), and unlike Keeper, not only is he one-sided, but he also hurts your opponents. I have two decks that will definitely like him.
Can't say that I do count eladamri as a mana reflection. I guess if you count him as a mana reflection, there's TONS of mana reflections! Look at lightning greaves - clearly a mana reflection!
/giving you a hard time for forgetting it's rofellos
I'm sorry, I would never run Elesh Norn. That card is creepy and ever since I had that cake dream featuring her and Gordan Ramsey, she just weirds me out.
My girl is Sheoldred. As much as I love killing my own creatures, forcing my opponents to sacrifice is also fun to do. Urabrask will probably go in my side to help deal with swarms.
By the way, did anyone else notice Urabrask looks like a giant Myr?
Should have been a 'none' option. Granted, that hows MTG works, but the Preators just seem too expensive and a little 'nichey'....kinda like the Ravnica legends.
They'll make for okay generals.....but mostly for casual play.
This poll lacks a "none" option for a reason. I don't want it gumming up the results. It's specifically for people who are excited about playing at least one of them.
Vorinclex is just a beast of a creature! He's a good beater, a one-sided Heartbeat of Spring, and he reduces your opponents tempo greatly! Awesome EDH creature!
I really don't think Jin will be the end all be all people seem to think he is. Seems like for 10 mana you could be doing something a little more... deadly?
Reanimation, mutha****ah! Do you use it?!
I can see games becoming way too centralized on this guy already. Or any of the praetors, really. It'll just be a reanimation\confiscate contest until someone gets it to stick, at which point it is GG. Kokusho and Emrakul all over again.

Anyone surprised to see Sheoldred atop the list? I kind of am. I guess she has the least to complain about since she straight up kills creatures dead.
