I'll sure echo that it seems like a missed opportunity to infuse the draft with some cards from the older ISD-block and SOI-block.
THIS would have been a cool idea, actually. Make some B&W versions of Liliana of the Veil and Avacyn and it would fly off the shelves. Add Tireless Tracker and Thing in the Ice and some other favorites...
Now that one was more of a pointless money grab - at least from the perspective of offering gameplay. It's more akin to today's collector's boosters.
I actually have find memories of these. At the time I got back into MtG and started collecting again (New Phyrexia) these were complete duds and selling for ridiculously low prices, like $50 for an entire display of 12. I bought a huge amount and 90% of my entire Alara-block collection is foils.
Any permanent that phases out automatically phases in just before your next untap step (if it phased out tapped, it phases back in tapped and then untaps like everything else.
So this seems to be a bug in Arena. Phasing has fixed rules, it is not dependent on reminder text.
Whats is dat ugly blue black Zombie token ?
A Childs drawing ?
I kind of like it. Reminds me of the old artwork of the early days. Not the computer generated stuff that gets churned out all the time. That token will probably also be around a dollar a piece as well as I don't believe its ever been printed before.
Here's a list of her other cards to get a feeling for her style.
It was mentioned on the stream Lynde was previewed in that avoiding Overwhelming Splendor is the main reason she's Grixis and not Mardu.
I don't quite follow this logic... I mean, as soon as Overwhelming Splendor lands on you, she will lose all abilities and you'll not move it to anyone else and get your cards. So it's completely stupid to play Overwhelming Splendor when she's out... I don't feel you need to set her color identity to prevent players from playing that total non-bo?
so the last one animates lands to wolves thats nice but that made a brutal error and made the cmc 2G when should have been 1G since thats the cmc for the other 4
Seems Will the Wise is all the rage right now.
As Purp documents for all posterity.

Anyway, I really love her showcase Murderous Rider. It indeed reminds me a lot of old Magic art, specifically Andi Rusu (e.g., Lost Order of Jarkeld and many of the legendary creatures in Legends like Rasputin Dreamweaver).
So in German, "Kürbis" is the pumpkin - can't imagine that that's sheer chance.
Moorland Rescuer: I am reminded of Goethe's Poem Der Erlkönig - I just hope the Rescuer is more successful.
Otherworldly Gaze looks pretty good, though it does not draw you a card. Can be useful, anyway.
And we have a new, rather worse Tragic Slip...
