I was hoping the remaining land slots are some kind of mana fixers in common or uncommon slot. This one is good, but now I'm starting to worry about the stabilization in limited.
Maybe making an extra creature out of land (which will be tapped that turn if it was t6) really justifies it being a rare, but initially the person reading this sees rare which is identical to cancel, and then the effect is added in the very end, so that's rather frustrating experience.
I'll happily take this to monoB EDH. Also nice to see this set doing something right for a change... strange that mere common impressed me far more than all mythics revealed so far
+1 person seeing parallels between Ugin's Insight and Jace's Ingenuity. I find it incredibly cute.
Staring at angel very hard and waiting for cheaper allies. Hoping there will be good 1 and 2 drops despite entire set going in battlecruiser direction.
I wonder if this is a unique spoiler season, with the good rares saved till last?
Deathrite Shaman was the last rare revealed for RTR, but RTR had its share of good stuff spoilered early. Don't think saving ALL good rares for the end of spoilers is a good idea, since such set would get very bad reviews for majority of spoiler season.
What irritates me is that despite overwhelming majority of storyline fans check spoilered cards, progress in UR storylines lags so goddamn much behind. It's so much pleasure to find shocking stuff in cards, promotional materials and Maro's posts, then go to check the next UR and find another round of Gideon whipping sural back and forth. For example, to this time it's already known that
Kiora returns with Dekella
Ob Nixilis regained his spark
Ugin will appear, and will talk to Jace
Chandra also returns; it might be next set's stuff, though
there are two new legendaries not included in storyline at all
Kalitas is enthralled to Eldrazi
and worst of all, we already know how this story will end. No, I'm not asking to finish it in storyline articles right naow, but it makes spoonfeeding the plot all more irritating
I only hope that for the time it will be allowed to reveal big stuff in UR there will be enough space for that, and no important stuff will be reduced to one line summary.
I would never thought that "moving to two blocks per year, one of reasons being intensification of storytelling" would still mean we're stuck on discussion of what Gideon should and shouldn't do for more than a month now! Great way to speed up, Wizards.
I was hoping Jace would return at some point, bringing Ugin to the rest of the party. Or Jori En returning with some bad news, either way works. Instead, plot moves glacier pace again.
Super excited for a story about Drana, though. Finally someone new!
I also find it slightly karmic justice-y that Jori En first said she isn't sure she would have restraint to not alter Gideon's mind in Jace's place and then she got her own mind altered.
While the story was good, I do have one question; why can't Jace just Planeswalk to the Eye? He said he could 'walk back to Sea Gate and he has been to the Eye.
he knows Eye worse than he knows Sea Gate, perhaps?
No eldrazi fighting, someone finally being distressed by their presence, and more creative way to solve problem that hitting it until it stops moving? I'm in!
And whipping weapon back and forth seems contagious

It seems I can just buy a fatpack for my BFZ related needs and be done with set, but whatever... those are sooo pretty.

Oh well. At least I would be able to get one for cheap.
Also wonder where Nissa's gone.
