Okay, so turn 2 either Surge Mare or Wall of Mist then this on turn 3 and let the fun begin.
It certainly makes Novice Knight and Amaranthine Wall that much more annoying. How many people are going to try and assemble this deck on the next FNM following release?

Enough that it may actually become a legitimate deck for a couple of weeks.
WU Assault Formation? I'm down! Pair this with Tetsuko to make everything unblockable, Wall of Mist, Suncleanser or any of the cheap 1/3s with Looming Altisaur as the 1/7 curve topper.
And the defender commander decks get yet another beautiful tool. I am thinking a lot of the Arena metas are being taken into account. The Arcades defender decks for casual standard will love this. I hope there are more great defenders coming out now.
I imagine a bunch of Walls sliding ominously toward your opponent.

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.
Arcades just got some back up

Creatures you control can attack as though they don't have defender.
2WU: Untap target creature.
Still, super happy to see it. I like redundancy of this effect.

Yep. There's a ton of 1 or 0 power, high toughness creatures in Standard right now for WU.

A bunch of flat objects just lurking in alleyways, waiting to mug the unsuspecting.
