Well, I hate to be *that* guy, but Vraska and Ajani are not too impressive to me. Tez looks okay. Of course, I'll wait for the rest of the cards over time, because I'm not going to bash the set based on those initial reveals

They are lower rarity... of course they are not as impressive.
I feel bad for Ajani and his Fans. Its not like he is known for great cards and he is a Gatewatcher and they give him a bad card...smfh. What is the point of being a Gatewatcher if you never get pushed card...
Welp that was a messed up stream at the beginning.
No Tibalt preview? Balls!
Affinity and proliferate and amass OH MY!
What I want to know is what caused Lilly to turn the dreadhorde against Bolas in the trailer and if she winds up disintegrating as a result. Is Lilly a casualty?

I mean sure, I didn't expect uncommon walker to be OP, maybe it's just my sentiment to Vraska mourning being moved down to UC Amass seems interesting as a mechanic, even if it will end up in my casual decks.
Overall these seem fun. Critterblossom seems like my favorite card from among these. Liliana seems like she COULD be strong, but 6 is a high casting cost considering aggro is so strong right now. Paying six mana to have them sac two tokens doesn't seem super great. At least her -2 draws you two cards if you have a board presence when you cast her, but I'm not sure. We'll have to wait and see.
Amass looks interesting and definite not something outside of this set I'd except to see in BRU.
Interesting so it looks like the uncommon walkers will have no + abilities, Rare will have one + and one - and the mythics will have 3 abilities like normal. Vraska also hints that the uncommon walkers might be hybrid and/or maybe mono-colored to play better I'm guessing.

Please note that affinity is NOT in the set. Only on this promo card.
Suprised about Proliferate though.
-Tezzeret looks pretty terrifying for EDH.
-Ajani reminds me of Ajani Steadfast. It gives the vigilance to everthing instead of super-pumping one creature and can survive using that second ability twice. Trading that ultimate for the meager +1 on this thing is meh but I could imagine finding a use for this card.
-Vraska... Is draft fodder. It's high quality draft fodder and shows what an uncommon walker can really do but I don't see this card making much of a splash anywhere else.
-Emergence Zone and Interplanar Beacon both look awesome to me! Will be stocking up on these for EDH reasons.
-Ignite the Beacon is a pretty powerful (casual) card. White always seems to get its card advantage through means like Three Wishes and Ranger of Eos and this card searches at instant speed. Nice.
-Ravnica at War is a very nice 4-mana wrath effects that I'm surprised we've never seen.
-Flux Channeler made me throw up in my mouth a little bit. Good to see that proliferate is back but it is only a matter of time until someone breaks this card... especially as it lets every walker proliferate each previous walker. Superfriends staple right here
-Amass... doesn't look like a good mechanic. It gets the point across well-enough but I don't see a mechanic built upon building up a single big vanilla creature as too powerful... especially when a single kill spell can force you to rebuild from scratch. Interested to see what additional support it gets.
I'm happy with the powerlevel of the PWs. Remember, some of them are uncommon, so they can't all be the powerhouses people have come to expect since the introduction of the mythic rarity. I like how the static and negative only abilities make them feel like enchantments with semi-vanishing - playing with these cards will be a pretty fresh play experience if nothing else.
I also don't think Ajani is bad. Yes, you need other creatures, but if you have some, he protects himself very well.
Amass... New keyword that cares only for a new creature type and we will most probably never see it again. It has all the marks for a parasitic ability, yet they managed to make it useful even if not in an "army" deck.
Nice.
I hope other uncommon walkers will be a little more splashable than Vraska. Her use seems very narrow.
On the other hand, rare Ajani looks quite decent: never underestimate the power of vigilance, especially if you have to protect your walkers while being on the offensive.

Look overpriced for the effect that is for sure.

Wouldn't be surprised if each of the 5 guild leader PWs get the same uncommon treatment.
On 7/14/10, broke 1900 mark! <3 ROE.
