This is the official thread for all discussion of new cards, arts, and information posted on the April 9th update of Dailymtg.com and the ROE product page.
The eldrazi seems ok...... but its a common with annihilator. Good pick in draft if you have picked the token generators.
The black spell is a duress, but slightly better, especially against the small decks like white weenie in standard and zoo in extended. Could be useful.

Take a mechanic from the pre-mirrodin era, and a mechanic after the mirrodin era, and create a card that flavorfully melds both mechanics.
I think the Inquisition will be a chase uncommon. It hits so many cards in Standard that it's not even funny. And all without any other drawback but the converted mana cost.
It hits things like Thrinax, Blightning, Knight of Reliquary, Stoneforge Mystic, Mind Spring(!), Martial Coup (!?), etc.
I strongly believe that this card will be an important sideboard card, where people choose to play this or Duress.
Hand is pretty junky, if you have 4 Spawn, you probably have enough mana to cast a better Eldrazi including the Spawn... Based on what we know so far.
The discard is also rather Junk as it doesn't hit a lot of the critical 4cmc spells that you want it to hit. Sure it hits some rather powerful cards but you're still not getting that massive BBE, Ranger, DoJ, Jace, and so forth. I'd rather have Thoughseize or Duress really.
Hand looks ok for limited and such but four spawn tokens in general on the board means that you already probably have dominant position. I am a little more interested in the Inquisition. I'm wondering whether it could replace Duress in some legacy decks (yeah I really like Oath). Granted Thoughtseize is there but I think that this can hit a lot of the same targets without the life cost attached. I suppose we'll see after some testing.

surrakar spellblade and drake umbra are in the spoiler as well:
I like just about every card spoiled today, especially the hand of emrakul
now that my post is shorter, my favorite part about the hand is that its a common, so I'll have a bunch that I can put anywhere for any late game/surprise early game play!

the other eldrazi seems okay, but only if you cheat it
Hand of Emrakul will probably see quite a bit of limited use in the right decks but that's about it.

The black spell is okay I guess, will come back to it later.

Too bad it doesn't hit FoW...
ゆっくりしていってね!!!
