Bibi GU
Legendary Creature — Human Baby
0/1
Whenever you draw a card, put a year counter on Bibi.
At end of turn, if Bibi has two or more year counters on it, flip it.

Sleur
Legendary Creature — Human
3/3
If an opponent would shuffle his or her library, instead you may search that library for a card, that player shuffles the rest, you put the card on top of that library, then you draw a card.
Whoops. I must have been remembering one of the other entries. There was one that kept flipping every time you used its ability which is kind of similar.
No one's pointed this out yet, but this evolving Kithkin very closely reassembles the joke flip card [insert name of player here] designed for the Invitational. Could this be th rehashed functioning version of the card we were supposed to expect at some point this year?
The joke card was Bibi/Sleur by one of the Ruels, right? Nice catch.
mulldrifter? 3U,(B/W), two cards = draw four cards, get a 1/1 flyer. shriekmaw? 2B,(B/W), two cards = kill two creatures, get a 2/1 w/ fear. cloudthresher? 3GG,(B/W), two cards = 4 damage to all flyers and players!?, get a 6/6! at instant speed!
Wait, so is this good? I can't tell. I mean it can go in Lark-ish decks, right? Evoke Mulldrifters, Larks, Sowers, Body Doubles and once half are dead, Bring them all back? I don't think 6 is a completely unreasonable cost if it wins you the game vs. some aggro deck.
Wow, we've been getting some pretty crazy one drops lately. A 2/2 for G, Tattermunge Maniac, this. I wonder if we will be seeing crazy aggro decks reminiscent of Domain Zoo in Standard?
Anyway,
Nobilis of Nobility (W/R)(W/R)(W/R)(W/R)(W/R)

First strike, vigilance T: Target attacking creature gains lifelink until end of turn.
4/3
This doesn't take the art into consideration, since based on the art I'd predict Haste, First Strike, Vigilance.
Man, just add flying and you have Miss America.
I'm thinking some kind of combat related effect like engel88 suggested. I mean RW is the color of Master Warcraft, and would not bleed like lifelink and vigilance would.

Double Strike
Whenever Nobilis of ~ attacks, target creature can't block until end of turn.
Yes, they are, I've only played the two seen so far, they're both great esp in limited/draft. Raven's Crime is just dish late game, especially when combined with Cards like Overbeing of Myth to stock you up on lands, so good.
That reminds me. Remember when red decks used to play Howling Mine to draw more burn? Is this a viable strategy again with retrace?
I mean it would be symmetrical, and even more so if there are good enough retrace cards go in many different decks but in RDW you should be able to negate the downside of your opponents drawing by just ending it quickly since your curve is so low.

Another Aurora? Speculation, here I come.
It reminds me of those big ol' fur coats people wear in arctic temperatures.

Momentary Blink does all of this.
A 2/2 for G
A 3/3 Deathtouch for 1G
A 2/2 Glorious Anthem with a token ability for 2G

Yeah, green creatures are pretty big.
This card is pure gold.
