How would that matter? This discussion is going way off the rails.
WotC doesn't tweet randomly to just play tricks. This is a marketing ploy, and used to build hype and speculation. The only way this makes sense is if there is in fact a future set coming out with at least one red card that allows the player to gain a "ton" of life.
Dragon's Wing1RR
Artifact
Whenever a player casts a red spell, you may gain 1 life.
Whenever a red creature enters the battlefield, you may gain 1 life.
I've actually thought of this one, and wondered if Bears would ever get any sort of Tribal Unification.
But what exactly would a creature bring to a table whose entire tribe's unity is being 2/2 for 1G?
Bear Denmother3GG
Creature - Bear
Trample
All other Bears you control get +1/+1 and trample.
When ~ enters the battlefield, search your library for two Bear permanents and put them on the battlefield.

Knight-Captain of Eos is kinda rubbish, but with preeminent captain and the fact that he himself is a soldier kinda make him worth while, ya know what I think I might try him out in boards against the mirror/token MU .
The consenus would point too NO silence is a meta game choice which I run in a cascade and combo filled arena, on other notes 20 lands is too less unless your running ramp like elves.
I'll test the deck out today and post the result unless my urge too try out grixis Fae takes over......
Knight-Captain of Eos isn't a Soldier, he is a Knight. I personally prefer him because:
a) He won't rotate in October
b) I like the Fog effect
You my question to those who sell. I am getting different vibes from the merfolk and zombie lords. One place sells em for 1.99 and one for 3.00 and some have them in between. When you price those is it due to demand for the card or just what you think it should be worth? Same with the druid some sell em for 10 and some for 13.00 what is up with that?
Those 3 lords (inserting Vampire one) have either simple non-game-breaking effects OR it is a weak tribe in standard, unlike the other 3. If urzza's info is correct, with Zendikar, these tribes will get stronger and these lords should rise a bit.

When ~ comes onto the battlefield, drink a beer or sacrifice ~.
Sacrifice an artifact: Put a keg counter on ~.
Remove a keg counter: Target player must drink a beer. If he doesn't, that player losses the game.

I've searched a bit for the price of a Foil M10 Traumatize (pulled one out of my box) but I've seen anywhere from $7 to $15. What is it's reasonable value?
Also, I bought a playset of Captain of the Watch for $10 online. Was it a good deal? I think it was, just want to be sure.
Lastly, I hear that in general, foreign versions of cards are worth a tad more than english ones. I ask because in here, Puerto Rico, some shops carry Spanish boosters and both english and spanish cards circle around (i.e. my neighbor has a spanish M10 Garruk).

Hm. At first I was like "seems a lot like Domain", but then I noticed my brain was inserting a "different" between 5 and Basic. Once I got over that crossed wire it made a lot more sense, and I gotta say I like the idea. Lots of design space to work with in counting permanents for some sort of threshold variant.
Creatures could be a Threshold...
Elven Captain1GG
Creature - Elf Warrior
Forestwalk
Leadership 4 - ~ gets +1/+1 and Trample as long as you control 4 Creatures.
3/3
Maybe all permanents? Vampiric Underling2B
Creature - Vampire Minion
Empowered 10 - ~ gets +2/+1 and Intimidation as long as you control 10 or more Permanents.
3/2
Maybe Threshold without graveyard? Maybe Land based Threshold...Like: Baby Falcon1WW
Creature - Bird Land-Ho 5 - ~ gets +3/+3 and Flying as long as you control 5 basic lands.
