Sweet Jesus. Well, Disallow seals it. I'm playing either mono U or UW draw-go for gameday just to get the sweet Ajani playmat. Sometimes you have to go to the dark side, I guess ;p
Also, if adding just 1 to Counterspell to also allow it to counter abilities isn't the most efficient thing in the world then I don't know what is.

Improvise is genius, and makes me really wish Eldritch Moon hadn't dropped the investigate mechanic. We need more clue tokens!
My Daretti EDH deck is already out of room, but I have to find a way to fit in Pia's Revolution. And Scrap Trawler. And probably 3-10 other cards in AER too by the time everything is spoiled!
The red enchantment seems very good in edh seeing as how it says target.Otherwise it will only be useful for fnm and making Mishra's bauble the best burn spell ever printed.
Disallow is strictly better Voidslime. And Dark Imitation is a sign of things to come.
It's been nearly an hour and noone has pointed out that Voidslime is not stricly worse because of frindge cases like you have 1 green mana 1 blue mana and a Pillar of the Paruns. Or you have out a Fable of Wolf and Owl.

Battle at the bridge feels like it should've been an instant. Disallow is the best 3-mana mono-U counterspell ever printed, goodbye Cancel, you won't be missed.
That was literally the first thing in my head when I saw the card, and I know that I will always hear that song whenever I see that card for the rest of my life.
Still can't believe Disallow only costs 1UU. Love it.
Calling it now; Battle at the Bridge is an indication that we will get Ensnaring Bridge as a Masterpiece (good fit as an old powerful artifact, plus the art fits.)
So, Bolas in this set? Otherwise I don't see the point of having a card like Dark Intimations printed here and not in Amonkhet. The effect is at the same time generic enough to go in any set and narrow to specific cards in that set.

I'd say that the extra "Bolas" effect is a bonus that you don't need to put the card in your deck. I think it's more like Eye of Ugin, which hinted at Eldrazi, but never actually played with them in the same draft environment. This is the last story card, so it effectively reads "cliffhanger".
Man, the second part of Dark Imitations reminds me of the good old days of Yugioh. I always get that vibe when I see a Magic card that works specifically with one other Magic card. I really like all of the cards spoiled here. Pia's Revolution seems like it's just waiting to make the next Eggs-style deck.
That is 100% Tezzeret's planeswalker card art and it looks amazing.
I wouldn't count on it. Artwork for Planeswalkers are usually longer vertically. That artwork looks to go towards a Tezzeret themed card. I dunno. I've been wrong before.
Edit: And concerning Dark Intimations, I bet that extra loyalty counter you can gain will make a huge difference, like speeding up a win con ultimate by a turn or something. And maybe Bolas will cost 6 to curve out perfectly? So you can go Expertise, Intimations, Bolas? That`s nasty.
Dark Intimations is bananas on multiplayer, though, I mean.... 2UBR to make 3 people sac a dude and discard a card, fetch 3 cards from grave and draw 3 cards is an awesome deal, even if the card is nowhere near playable in regular constructed magic.
lol.
also, disallow shows how they simply can't cost a hard counter anymore.
I mean, hard counters for 2 mana are way overpowered for today standards and for 3 mana are completely unplayable without crazy upsides. Disallow is certainly one of the best Cancels ever printed.

You might want to give Dark Intimations another quick read, you return A crature or planeswalker card and draw A card. Singular on both. Not one for each opponent. It would have to say draw for each card discarded this way, or something similar.
Still a realy cool card.
And is making me think, we will be seeing a NEW Bolas card, something with some new abilities.
This set is already looking interesting, going to enjoy seeing what else the Revolt has to offer.

Now I wish I hadn't traded off my BT filter land. :{
Interesting how many previews we have so early. I expect a YUUUGE dry spell until we get more.
Selling some cards I don't want.
Generally less than tcg mid.
Bolas already?
Interesting.

I thought that was Black, Green, and White.
Never gone wrong before.

Stay reasonable, be mindful of your expectations and don't feed the trolls.
