Lots of previews dropping during the World Championships. Today, in between Explorer rounds, we have a prototype army at mythic, Spellbinder Elite's ETB on an instant, and Welcoming Vampire on an enchantment.
They "opened a booster" during the lunch break, so we also have some uncommons. Here we have a Go for the Throat reprint, a creature that cares about your slowly-growing graveyard, and the GW signpost uncommon.
Overwhelming remorse: are……are you serious!?!?!?! …I…I can legitimate prediction it could impact every format besides legacy and vintage
Welcome: ok welcoming vampire playability is toast now 1. a enchantment version for same Mana value 2.it does mana value rather than power (less restrictive)
Battalion: clever little sneaks they remembered flicker effects would be psycho with this (look at avenger) and I’m really excited for prototype but worried it’s only gonna be 5 cards (a cycle) one in each color at mythic.
Looks like we are powering up Standard a fair bit with this set so far.
Don't sell that white instant Soul Partition short either in Standard. It will be played quite a bit.

Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
Playing since 1994: Currently MAGS (HomeBrew),Standard & Pauper (Pioneer and Modern are degenerate trash formats)
STOP using "dude/bro" as a pejorative or insult. Grow up.

Benjamin Franklin: "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

Skitterbeam Battalion just might be playable in Modern Green Tron decks as a creature that kills opponents dead the turn after you play it (read: a 2-turn clock with Haste) with some protection from spot removal. It even comes with anti-Blood Moon insurance by being playable as 6 Haste power for 5 red mana!

Stern Lesson might actually see play in Modern Indomitable Creativity decks, although it has stiff competition from Prismari Command. Dunno if those mono-blue artifact-heavy decks that already play Hard Evidence want this.

Kekai Kotaki is my favorite new artist since Magali Villenueve
Been on this forum for 10++ years
Playing since '94
But okay, here's the real problem: Why the heck does the new art on Go For The Throat portray the thing going for the guy's belly?
Low-power cube enthusiast!
My 1570 card cube (no longer updated)
My 415 Peasant+ Artifact and Enchantment Cube
Ever-Expanding "Just throw it in" cube.
It can. Note how the rules text mentions "color" and that the Prototype box is colored red.
I like how Bitter Reunion does almost the same thing as Cathartic Reunion
I concur. "Exile target creature or planeswalker" for what could be as low as B far outshines "destroy target creature" for the same mana cost.
