There's a lot of link issues, especially, for some reason, in the Zendikar section. I'm not sure why several links seem to be intended for story articles only in that section, so for those I listed both the story and fixed card link.
- You got Elspeth's family name misspelled in the Scars sction.
- It's Narset Transcendent.
- "Nissa's Quest" (if meant as a card) should be Nissa's Renewal (the card in that article is Nissa's Expedition, but I'm not sure it or the story link are appropriate)
- "Slaughter at the Refuge" (if meant as a card) should be Gruesome Slaughter
- "Revelation at the eye" should be Hedron Archive or Ugin's Insight
- The Aligned Hedron Network link has a typo in it.
- Ob Nixilis Reignited doesn't have a comma in it.
- There's some weird issue with the apostrophes in Tamiyo's Journal and Inventors' Fair
- I think Baral, Chief of Compliance ought to be linked.
- Hazoret's full name is Hazoret the Fervent
- Razaketh's is Razaketh, the Foulblooded (mind the comma)

If so, then that's past mere writer's oversight and straight into a whole nother level of not knowing what goes on in the game you're head designing for he's displaying. (just like that ridiculous statement about white artifact removal at uncommon)
Maro is talking about Shieldmate's Blessing type of effects (which have not been seen since Acolyte's Reward and Hold at Bay in BNG). What _I_ am referring to is the "post-protection" damage prevention effect found on cards like Djeru's Resolve, Lithomancer's Focus and Enshrouding Mist.
Any thoughts? Also am I the only one who finds the statement that "White's artifact destruction is usually at uncommon." utterly laughable?
designwise Mental Anguish is a Dimir card. milling target player is strongly associated with Dimir on Ravnica. (also it's a card that requires desecration to have happened while being a desecration enabler at the same time, which seems like the worst palce for it to be). You're gonna want some selfmill enablers anyway because of Swarm (self-mill has been more of a Golgari thing on Ravnica: Dredge, Grisly Salvage, Rot Farm Skeleton, Deadbridge Chant, Drown in Filth), so having a secondary graveyard mechanic is fine.
I don't think there's enough keywords available at common for that (i.e. you can't have indestructible on a common creature). Besides the vanilla hybrids are already a creature cycle, one which Legend has discussed in previous thread. That makes two cycles at commons at least, and it's possible (though unlikely) there's another just haven't spotted.
And even THAT is not a white thing, as I pointed out. White effects that will grow (with a counter) a 3/3 into a 4/4 require an extra turn (and usually an attack), and they are not at common either way (e.g. Prized Elephant, Aetherstorm Rock, War Oracle...). White is barely starting to get any Hill Giants at all at common; this is significantly over the line (power higher than 3 at common, conditional or not, is very rare for white at any mana cost).
Huh... Y'know, I never realized "as" could be used in that way. Neat.
I really like the Forced Fealty design, BTW. As a sorcery, it could easily be "tap up to two". Exorcism's neat too (TBH, I probably wouldn't have come up with it myself, so I might well have to steal it XD).
Fair enough. I was getting the feeling you wanted to generally price these somewhat aggressively, so that one stuck out like a sore thumb. I mean, unless the set has a sizeable graveyard component that this card specifically serves as a safety valve to (cf. Scarab Feast, Cremate, Annihilating Fire), the exiling is not actually a relevant improvement (I personally suspects that we'll see "Target player exiles two cards from their hand." for 2B in standard eventually).
Pretty sure Disillusion is fair at 1WB. I mean, the base is 3B (Mental Agony, Witness the End), and if you're gonna cost Fly Away that aggressively, I really don't see what justify the costing on Disillusion.
I agree the mechanic name is less than ideal. "Exume" is too... hands-on/dirty sounding for Orzhov.
I have no objection with vermin being the type, but the assertion that "the Golgari Swarm isn't an Insect tribe" is very strange. Most insect in both Ravnica blocks are Golgari, and by a wide margin at that: Deadbridge Goliath, Drudge Beetle, Gleancrawler, Golgari Longlegs, Grave-Shell Scarab, Kraul Warrior, Mortipede, Zanikev Locust. (Second are Gruul and Simic, both with mo more than two associated insect critters each)
