Nothing really special. Except that flavor text. "Nature abhors a zombie."

Of course, some nice limited common dudes.

Plants versus Zombies gets a shout out! Awesome!

Edit: Also the return of a long lost green card trope: Carnivorous Plant ! So happy.

See, this is the problem. You simply throw away nonsense too quickly. You do not recognize that nonsense has a time-tested place in game design.

This seems improper. Oh yea...

Quote from "GDS2 Multiple-choice test answers" »
What keeps this card from being common? The answer is lifelink. While we do allow lifelink at common, we tend to keep the power low. Lifelink can be very swingy, so we don't print creatures with lifelink with power greater than 2 at common.

Wow, such hate on the new cards. They can't all be rares. These are all decent, well-costed commons. They'll have their place in any draft.

There would have been a message here about Jace, but Jace feigned interest and counterspelled any other reference of him in my signature...

It's cruel of them to print it so soon after. Just rubbing it in our faces.

OH. First batch of reveals for Innistrad where everything is basically Limited fodder...the red pump is pretty nice though...and Voiceless Spirit is also a good pick for White.

Furor of the Bitten, just b/c it costs only :symr:, may actually be RDW constructed playable if the metagame inclines towards a lesser amount of targeted removal.

Otherwise, decent Limited stuff.

So, no decent Counterspell or Removal so far.
I'm starting to get worried...

Yea...given how far they design in advance, he surely knew about this card when he wrote that.

Some nice limited cards but Ugh, Graveyard Shovel. I despise getting uncommons that are almost unplayable even in limited, sure you can gain some life in a pinch targetting yourself or can maybe reduce that boneyard wurm the opponent controls but overall I see this sitting to the side then in the bin. What a wasted uncommon slot.

Also flavor wise, why the hel does removing a creature gain you life.

That crab is the single best card in this set. I'm considering making a thread about it, to discuss what a wonderful card it is
