These decks put in stuff from the last block.... theros stuff isn't in the core set. Sad I won't get to win another pre-release with Shivan Dragon but happy some of this crap won't in my booster.

I feel like Lightning Strike and Divination and the other current standard cards from Theros and Ravnica aren't reprints but perhaps just put in the decks.
It's pretty weird they decided to allow cards from these little decks to remain in standard. You can only get them from

Each Core Set has a couple of reprints from the previous block, such as Bloodthrone Vampire in M11 and Torch Fiend in M13. Regular reprints like Divination usually tend to pop up again and again.
lol what got me most excited is the possible reprint of Kinsbaile Skirmisher

Quote from Wolfman about lack of Conspiracy spoilers-
"I'd say this about guarantees that it won't be up till this Friday, but considering the current track record, the ETA is now probably two weeks after the set has been out."

Funny how these intro decks feel like the closest we have had in over a decade to the feel of Alpha/Beta w/ the black borders and the classics (Shiv, Sera, Mahamoti, Sengir, & Nightmare).
I wouldn't be surprised if these "Sample Deck only" cards appear in the Clash Packs and Intro decks as well.
Just watch how Aegis Angel, Mahamoti Djinn, Nightmare, Shivan Dragon, and Terra Stomper are intro pack foil rares haha. Even if I am wrong, at least i am right 3 out of 5 times haha.

I think the first interesting thing is that Cancel is not going to be available via packs. This means some sort of counter HAS to go in it's place for limited play (At least one would think)
I'm guessing that counter would be Chronostutter. (I'm guessing it's Remand without the card draw.)
I like the concept of cards that aren't in packs, but are Standard/Modern playable. I'm not so sure about the implementation. You'd think they'd be including things that they are afraid would break limited, but are fine in constructed. Instead we're getting stuff that looks like it won't really hurt limited, probably less than half will matter in serious constructed.
I have mixed feeling about the rest of the cards in these lists. Some of them I'll be glad if their in M15, like Jace's Ingenuity for budget control players to replace the rotating Opportunity. Ajani's Pridemate which probably means that lifegain decks might still have a bit going for them. Foundry Street Denizen staying in Standard to help RDW. And that there will be a green one drop mana dork in Elvish Mystic reprint (Theros block has no 1 drop mana dorks).
On the other hand, Elvish Mystic reprint would mean we probably won't be getting Birds of Paradise reprint in new frames. I'm not fond of the Staffs being there, especially if they still take up uncommon slots (although they might be even worse in common slots as you'll wind up with a ton of them and they'll screw up limited play that way). Titanic Growth being a sign we might not get Giant Growth isn't something I like the sign of, even if Giant Growth doesn't seem to see Standard play these days. Lol @ Fugitive Wizard. And I really hope we get some gem green rares in the actual packs to explain why Terra Stomper couldn't get a normal slot.
Also, this is the first time I've noticed Furnace Whelp's flavor text. Lol! It's awesome!
The new border would be easier to like if it was mostly new cards and reprints that were never in the modern border. Not ***** from Theros, M13 and M14.
Some of them I'll be glad if their in M15, like Jace's Ingenuity for budget control players to replace the rotating Opportunity.
Sphinx's Revelation will also rotate, so my fear is that this will be the only viable instant card draw in the new set.
Ah, that might be bad. Here is to hoping for Mind Spring or Blue Sun's Zenith reprint. Or something new along those lines, perhaps a Skullcrack card-draw equivalent.
Simple AnalysisxUUU Instant
Simple Analysis can't be countered.
Card draw can't be prevented this turn. Cards in your hand can't be exiled or discarded until after your next two turns. You have no maximum hand size until after your next two turns.
If a spell or effect an opponent controls causes you to discard or exile Simple Analysis from your hand, reveal it, and draw 3 cards after that effect resolves.
Draw X cards.
I'd say that's HUGE. No more Shivan Dragon boosters? Alright! Count me in!
Anybody else miss the days when Shivan Dragon was a chase rare? Power creep happens, but a part of my childhood died reading this thread
Funny, I was just about to write the same thing. Opening a Shivan Dragon was like opening, I dunno, Thoughtseize or Elspeth back in the day. Now he's just a junk rare...
Were they Standard legal at the time, though?

cards like Oreskos Swiftclaw need to be removed from the spoilers hes from journey
They're not going to mix old and new frame cards in these. That's the reason for the quantum reprints. So Swiftclaw and friends are in M15.
Practice for Khans of Tarkir Limited:
Draft: (#1) (#2) (#3) (#4) (#5)
Yes, and the red deck has a Lightning Strike and a Lightning Strike. I'll check again tomorrow to see if they've fixed this.

A name that great deserves a card like-
Chronostutter U
Instant
Return target spell to its owners hand.
But it's probably something like a Blue Cloudshift.
Reprint Stasis!

OH MY GOD
Garruk's Packleader reprint.
That card was my favorite engine enabler from M13, and I was really sad to see it missing from M14.
Ohhhhh, Sign in Blood as well. Time to pull out my textless ones again.
