MTGS Wikia Article about "New World Order"
Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.
Simply on the ramp front they are way too cheap. Getting +2 mana costs 4 and should stay at that cost.
Otherwise these are fairly awesome cards. I love the whole prayer/convoke to awaken Selesnya and while its rather on the nose Svogthos, the Restless Tomb was already a decent card. Adding 2 to each of their costs should make them reasonable.
Ah, for some reason I kept thinking Arix only cost GU. I'll fix the mana costs.

Finally a good white villain quote: "So, do I ever re-evaluate my life choices? Never, because I know what I'm doing is a righteous cause."
