I got an order of 300 Ultimate Guard Katana (in purple) and if anything they're a little too slippery? It's easy to knock a deck over such that it spills everywhere. The shuffling is amazing though.
Also, there are occasional issues with double sleeving with KMC perfect fits - maybe 5% of them slide off the card.
WAR test/watchlist:
Whirler Rogue > God-Eternal Kefnet
Najeela, the Blade-Blossom > Krenko, Tin Street Kingpin
Koth of the Hammer > Ilharg, the Raze-Boar
Oath of Druids > Vivien's Arkbow OR Finale of Devastation
Ancient Grudge > Domri, Anarch of Bolas
Saheeli, the Gifted > Saheeli, Sublime Artificer
Hedron Archive > Blast Zone
I am most interested in the Finale of Devastation, it compares well to Green Sun's Zenith. 1 mana more allows you to search for any colour creature, and also search your graveyard as well! I guess if you hit 12 mana, searching for a Craterhoof Behemoth will deal insane damage to your opponent.
We already have Finale of Promise officially spoiled, but it looks like the other 4 cards of the cycle have been leaked! They're very splashy big spells. Translations are rough:
Final of Revelation
XUU
Sorcery
Draw X cards. If X is 10 or more, instead shuffle your graveyard into your library, draw X cards, untap up to five lands and you have no maximum hand size for the rest of the game. Exile Finale of Revelation.
Finale of Glory
XWW
Sorcery
Create X 2/2 soldier tokens with vigilance. If X is 10 or more, also make X 4/4 angel tokens with flying and vigilance.
Finale of Devastation
XGG
Sorcery
Search your library and/or graveyard for a creature card with converted mana cost X or less and put it on the battlefield. If X is 10 or more, your creatures gain haste and +X/+X until end of turn.
Finale of Eternity
XBB
Sorcery
Destroy up to 3 target creatures with toughness X or less. If X is 10 or more, also return all creature cards from your graveyard to the battlefield.
Awakening of Vitu-Ghazi
3GG
Instant
Put nine +1/+1 counters on target land you control. It becomes a legendary 0/0 Elemental creature with Haste named Vitu-Gazi. It's still a land.
5 Mana 9/9 flash at rare that has upside with manlands? Spicy!
Ilharg, the Raze-Boar - 3RR
Legendary Creature - Boar God
Trample
Whenever ~ attacks, you may put a creature card from your hand onto the battlefield tapped and attacking. Return that creature to your hand at the beginning of the next end step.
When ~ dies or is put into exile from the battlefield, you may put it into its owner's library third from the top.
6/6
Is this worth running alongside Sneak Attack and Through the Breach? The lack of haste is my biggest problem with this card.
Great article!

No, I believe you get only one creature only, but the translation could be off.
Here's a non-promo art! Looks pretty badass
