If Kresh had more than 3 toughness, I'd say he'd see play too. But 5 mana for a 3/3 makes him so vulnerable to basic removal that its really not a great investment. I know everything dies, but not everything dies equally
Interesting... The Bant pack "on the march" pretty much showed that white players will get more token-producing cards...

NEW! Jon Finkel Facts
-Cryptic Command used to be Jon Finkel's Piracy Charm until WotC adopts it and print it in rare.
-Dragon Fodder was a good card... before you see Finkel Fodder1R Sorcery, Put two 4/4 red dragon creature with flying into play.
-The Shards of Alara's convergence is due to their awareness on Jon Finkel breaking their format. They gather power, even called Nicol Bolas to delay Jon Finkel.

If you watch the video on the bottom of the article, they slightly explain the appearance of creatures in Shards they don't belong to.... it's sometimes good or sometimes bad for the misplaced creature.
Do shards only interact with adjacent shards so far? I guess that makes sense, that's probably where you would start meshing things back together, maybe they finally get across the wheel in Alara Reborn. So a Grixis guy in Jund, for example. Would that get Unearth, Devour, or possibly both? Not sure why you would sacrifice guys if he's only going to be around one turn, but just wondering what they are looking for.
How does domain work with 5-power guys? I guess you can have a dude with power equal to the number of basic land types (what was that Kavu, Scout?) to possibly take advantage of both, but worrying about getting islands and swamps doesn't seem like it will make it easier to play Rakeclaw Gargantuan etc.
Hopefully wotc will finally print 1 good vampire, but I doubt it haha
Well. I heard Skeletal Vampire was pretty good back in the day. But you young kids wouldn't remember the Ravnica days...
With a cost like 4XXX, it had better be Simic Sky Swallower/Angel of Despair/Bogardan Hellkite good. :\
What's the real news here? That the shards are still intact, throughout every shard. So no enemy shards. Probably ever..?
Hmm I noticed that the only card with a competitive mana cost is the Bant card.
Well... by costing green, it's probably a crap Timmy card (like Mycoloth/Regal Force/Primalcrux, etc...), but there's always the occasional Cloudthresher. but yeah, considering the power of the previous XYZ critters, I'm sure this dude is just as brutally good. Eesh.
Did you notice that in the background of Giltspire Avenger, there are ruins of a city, like we've already seen on Mirror-sigil Sergeant? Something bad is going on in Bant for sure.
Apocalypse Hydra has gone into the red zone:)
Interesting how the new cycle of creatures cost 4(Shards Colors), and once again, not every intro deck has the creature of the cycle. They probably wouldn't make these creatures mythic in Intro Decks, but if they're not mythic, what are they and what do they do for THAT cost?:/
I was just assuming what you said though- they are not mythics if they are on the cover on the intro packs. However, given the quality of most of the mythics now... Hmm.
The Bant Card has an awsome picture and cool name to boot. I'm hoping for another knight. Very exciting. I hope they stay away from tokens. Tokens are stupid. It's all about the WW knights or GWU in this case. whatever.

Like the rest of the cards spoiled, it's most probably a Nayan background.

You make feel really old. Ravnica wasn't that long ago now was it.
And I don't think the exalted shard would be pro-tokens at all. I could be wrong though.
Isn't this the right opportunity to start the Conflux spoiler?
More like the number crunch than the spoiler. The spoiler requires actual card text to get off the ground. Otherwise, what is it spoiling besides names?

I guess he means the "on the march" means lots of little dudes?
I've also made over 95 bucks on this site since I started on 11/24/09. Give it a try!
