I like world breaker, especially with it being like an eldrazi'ied World Queller.
Nice group of spoilers some of the new lands are interesting as well (that hold out encampment seems like its in the wrong block). Also Sphinx of the Final Word is soo good :D.
Playing millions of cards every turn... Slowly and systematically obliterating any chance my opponent has of winning... Clicking the multitude of locking mechanisms into place... Not even trying to win myself until turn 10+ once I have nigh absolute control... Watching my opponent desperately trying to navigate the labyrinthine prison that I've constructed... Seeing the light of hope fade and ultimately extinguished in an excruciatingly slow manner... THAT'S fun Magic.
We have 2-3 users that are dramatically making this thread incomprehensible and non-productive for anyone else to possibly join in the discussion. This needs to change.
Every time I see [ktkenshinx] post in here, I get the impression of a stern dad walking in on a bunch of kids trying to do something dumb and just shaking his head in disappointment.
Near Mint: The same as Slightly Played, but we threw some Altoids in the box we stored it in to cover up the scent of dead mice. Slightly Played: The base condition for all MTG cards. This card looks OK, but there’s one minor annoying ding in it that will always irritate and distract you whenever you draw it. Moderately Played: This card looks like it survived the Tet Offensive tucked inside the waistband of GI underwear. It may smell like it, too. Heavily Played: This card looks like the remains of Mohammed Atta’s passport after 9/11. It may be playable if you double-sleeve it to stop the chunks from falling out. The condition formerly known as "Washing Machine Grade" Damaged: This card is the unfortunate victim of a Mirrorweave/March of the Machines/Chaos Confetti/Mindslaver combo.
[M]aking counterfeit cards is the absolute height of dishonesty. Ask yourself this question: Since most people...are totally cool with the use of proxies...what purpose do [high] quality counterfeit cards serve?
Not sure what to think of these expeditions. The goal of printing the expeditions was clearly to sell packs, so I assumed, wrongly, that several of the lands being printed as expeditions wouldn't get that treatment. A lot of these lands don't see play, or at least relatively little.
Chandra is an interesting planeswalker, somewhat reminiscent of Elspeth, Sun's Champion. I think she'll see play, assuming there's a grindy deck with red that wants her as its finisher. Nissa, on the other hand, seems a great deal worse than her flipwalker, and fairly uninteresting and weak.

You don't call "dying to removal" if the removal is more expensive in resources than the creature. If you have to spend BG (Abrupt Decay), or W + basic land (PtE) to remove a 1G, that is not "dying to removal". Strictly speaking Goyf dies to removal, but actually your removal is dying to Goyf.
Expeditions:
All ten Filters
Wasteland, Strip Mine, Dust Bowl, Tectonic Edge
Forbidden Orchard
Kor Haven
Eye of Ugin
Mana Confluence
Ancient Tomb (included after Wizards released list)
Horizon Canopy (included after Wizards released list)

I'm OP_Forever. I'll be putting this in my signature for a while so everyone know I change my nickname.
Lots of other spoilers, too. This will really water down spoiler season, though

Any translation on the demon and the other lands?
Nissa seems really strong.
Not sure what formats Chandra would fit, but I loved the card.

Expeditions are fancy as usual. Though every person who I've seen pull them has sold them. Who are they selling to?
"I hope to have such a death... lying in triumph atop the broken bodies of those who slew me..."
Does that 2/2 come into play under your control or your opponent's control?
I believe the rate it will show up is so low its impact on limit won't be a real problem.

It's the sound of someone getting fired.
