The first two are pretty WOW. Maybe my Megrim decks will finally work now that it's cheaper, and I love how the Specter goes right along with it in my multiplayer games.
Megrim what? Hah! Awesome new replacement for the old thing. And I love the new specter. Man, this set is rocking the common/uncommon slot. The other two are less than shocking, but a flying shade is definitely a limited beastie worth noting. Sweet monkeys, M11 is going to be hot stuff.

That specter is a limited house. 3cc 2/1 fliers are already good; add in guaranteed card advantage and you've got a common to be afraid of. Definitely going to be a high pick card.

man, the shade sucks, outside of limited of course. It pumps for 1B, but I guess it does have evasion. Isn't as good as M10's only shade Looming Shade.
Not exactly, but in a way I think that spoils something. All the sample decks I've seen love those freakin' "fixed wooden orb" artifacts, the 2 drop whenever a spell is cast gain a life things. They aren't in these boxes, so they might be out. But there are piles of uncommons in here, so they might have just not put them in as there were already relevant things in the uncommon slots.

Megrim was indeed weak at 2B, and yes I can appreciate it at 1B, but that it's tied up in non-generic flavor makes me really sad. I like the card, but I'm not going to like the wave of discard decks that's going to come out of it for the six months following M11's release.
The specter is neat for that kind of deck; I find discard annoying to play against.
That 'the' (?) shade of this set requires two mana for +1/+1 makes me happy. It also happens to be splashable, which is good for it. (and necessary given that it's weaker)
Later generations will come to say "eww, ravenous rats suck, why would anyone every draft that".
New Megrim is freaking sick. Are these from the Intro Packs? Hot dang, these must be sick intro packs then.

Turn 2 would have helped megrim a lot. Still not probably constructed playable but fun.
Time to make a grixis, tribal specter deck.
How come only 4 cards a pop if you got these as promo's and don't work for wizards?
