These probably mean that 5 of the uncommon slots are taken up by basic landcyclers. Shame that they made them two-coloured, I really want playable cards with basic landcycling.
I say twisted abomination has always been a pretty good land cycler. It does suck though that they are two color spells, the multi color slots tend to be pretty tight.
I think that realistically, the landcycling part will be the primary modes of these. I'e don't think of Fiery Fall as a bad burn spell. Think of it as Traveler's Amulet with upside. And I agree about Abomination. I just wished there was a reasonable cycle of cards with actual "Basic Landcycling" that could be run as fixing.
The reanimation spell isn't bad... it's just three times the mana of Animate Dead. Haste really isn't much upside when you're waiting like seventy extra turns to actually cast the damn thing.
This is one thing I like about having a modern-bordered cube - I get to get hyped for the 2-3 reprints of pre-eighth cards that I now get to add, in addition to the maybe 1 playable new card. Hoping for Battle Screech or Grizzly Fate, but there are lots of nice possibilities.
At a minimum this is an easier to cast murder (of course sorcery instead of instant though), but with the addition of a lot of +1/+1 counters and other types of counters (vanishing, etc) it could make the cut...
I liked it until I saw it was a sorcery. Most decks play a few cards that use +1/+1 counters, but I think this is just too inconsistent to make the cut. I'll have to ask my playgroup though.
We really haven't seen many of the uncommons yet, its hard to say if this will be bad for us or good, like browndog said, one playable card is good for us in a set like this.. I am really hoping for something interesting in boros this time around.. or any of the other *****ty guilds
2B sorcery Murder is a fine card, but below the usual black removal spells. Getting just one card off it turns it into an absurd spell, but I really dislike the fact that you have so little control over when you get the upside.
Yeah, not a fan of the design. The +1/+1 counter theme in my cube isn't especially powerful and the last thing it needs is a random hate card that's really mediocre without it.
How about Windfall, guys? What do you think of it? I know it's not new, but... Seems interesting for U/x aggro?
New Murder is nice, but Sorcery and BB cost doesn't really help it's case.
I play Windfall in my cube. I've never gotten the best case scenario of draw 5+ cards, but it does a solid divination impression and leaves you hopeful that it might some day do more.
Sylvan Reclamation!
Grave Upheaval!
Neither are... remotely close to playable as guild cards. But more cards coming soon!

I wish the Walker lands were a bit better. I may use his Island but his plains is strictly worse than Guays which sucks because it's great.

Sorcery speed is meh.
Neat card though.

Kill some random thing, nothing happens.
Kill a Cytoplast Root-Kin, and you either get a ridiculously huge bonus... or you could just die if you're at a low life total.
Well, kill some random threat and you killed some random threat.
The life loss for drawing cards is a typical draw back in black anyway...
I think I might test it...

There are a fair number of creatures people may already cube that you could kill with this to get a 2 for 1
