Wizards print good rares, players complain about cash grab. They print underwhelming rares, players complain that the cards suck. They spoil the best cards first, players complain about the insane prices of preorders. They spoil the meh cards first, players complain that this is the worst set ever.
So. I think I understand now.
As far as these forums are concerned, WotC can never do anything good because:
Card that is new and probably good = "pushed"
Card that is new and probably bad = "EDH/casual fodder"
Card that is a reprint = "lazy"
Card that is a better version of an older card = "power creep"
Card that is a weaker version of an older card = "worthless"
I like how some of them are the classic Innistrad/Avacyn Restored art with the Cryptoliths added to them. I actually kind of wished they had done this each of the original arts.

The problem with defining this format by what is "fun" is that everyone seems to define fun as what they don't lose to. If you keep losing to easily answered cards, that means you should improve your deck. If you don't want to improve your deck, then you should come to peace with the idea that you are going to lose because you chose to not interact with better strategies.
i think Nahiri try to destroy Innistrad
maybe it's a beacon to call Emrakul

Everything you just said in your post has been speculated for months now.
Really? Apart from the green one, they are all pretty centered.
They blend in better though, the island one is just kinda there...
