Hmm. Like everyone has already said, the names are pretty basic. But then again, We might as well fill the gaps in the empty and generic card spaces that we have left behind.
Gravecrawler better be a zombie. We need more zombies. I want to see a good standard zombie deck, haha. I'm hoping for something like Ichorid with Morbid, maybe it returns to the battlefield whenever another creature dies? Something like Bloodghast. Oh, I loved Bloodghast so, so much. I'd love it if you could eat up creatures in an opponent's graveyard, too. <3
As for Ravenous Demon, well, if you ask me I think Wizards have been doing demons wrong for a long time. At least most of them. Demons are supposed to have a high reward/loss about them, but most of the time they are overcosted and tend to do more harm to the user and not the enemy. Bloodgift Demon is actually a very promising demon, and I'm hoping we see something more along the lines of that, other than another Lord of The Pit.
No offense Lord of the Pit, but you're just not going to see much play, for as much fun and cool looking as you are.
Can we actually compile a list of cards we want or think will appear in the deck instead of talk about the author's mistakes in the book? Spoiler. Venser is dead. Period. Spoiler. Hopefully they will both feature a balanced amount of cards in both decks to make them both worth the money and playable. Hopefully they will compare to Duel Decks: Jace vs Chandra. I'm assuming the decks will be Venser Blue/White and Koth Red.
I'm hoping for these cards to make it worth while, or at least cards I think will appear in the decks:
This is big and strange news. I think that Avacyn might "sepreate" the evil from the good, and we might get A non-flip werewolf and a regular human, seeing that a Werewolf is two souls in one, a beast and a man. That would be a great explanation to the reason why there are no DFC's in the set, and yet they could still keep the "Tribes" of Innistrad. It would be a fairly balanced world then, just like before Avacyn dissapeared.
I have devised a plan. A sinister plan. Let's make a Steampunk set. Let's be honest here, for a moment. There will be people who disagree, saying that Steampunk doesn't fit Magic: the Gathering. I guess you could say that. However, I believe Steampunk is a very mystical and undiscovered field when in comes to Magic: the Gathering, and together, we can create this set.
For starters, for those of you who aren't familiar with Steampunk, the idea is quite simple. Steampunk is a sub-genre of science fiction, fantasy, and speculated fiction that came into prominence during the 1980s and early 1990s. Steampunk involves a setting where steam power is still widely used—usually Victoria Era Europe and Britain or "Wild West"-era United States—that incorporates elements of either science fiction or fantasy. Works of steampunk often feature anarchronistic technology, or futuristic innovations as Victorians might have envisioned them, based on a Victorian perspective on fashion, culture, architectural designs, art, etc. This technology includes such fictional machines as those found in some science fiction works by popular authors.
I already have plenty of ideas about this set. I am thinking of a design along the lines of Innistrad, and, Ravnica. They're both more "advanced" in a sense that they have more modern architecture and societies than most other sets. However, on this plane, science is equal with magic, and together, they form grand constructs, inventions and artifacts that push the possibilities of their very lives every day.
There are large cities and towns that cover the land, however, there is still much wild to be discovered. Few dare venture into the wild, for not even their magical sciences can explain some of the unnatural phenomenons of the wild.
I'm still thinking of a good name. Everything is up to us. Let's create this set. Mechanics, keywords, names, culture, ideas; it's all ours. So please, go ahead and discuss this set!
Well. We know that Sorin will be returning, however, I hope his card art is that other picture of him spoiled for DA.
The vampire on the deck box looks like she's petting a snake... would everyone else agree? It looks like a pretty long snake, too. I think it's on the wall behind her!
And that third vampire girl looks like a creepy 14 year old.
What do y'all think the colors for the decks will be? The Maelstrom Wanderer being part of a "cycle of Legendary Creatures" seems to indicate wedge decks, but I find that difficult to believe so soon after the Commander release. I'm thinking so far that Chaos Reigns will be 5-color, Night of the Ninja will be UB, and Primordial Hunger will be either Naya, Jund, BG, or RG. Not sure about Savage Auras, though, but I think it's safe to assume that it will have White and/or Green, perhaps Red as well. Course, this gives Green a relatively large distribution across the decks. Thoughts?
I'm thinking that since there is only four decks, we won't see wedges, and instead, just a bunch of different color pairs that work well with the deck theme, seeing as that was how the last planechase was.
As long as they make at least 3 new Ninja creatures, I will be happy. Plus, that will make a Ninja deck actually playable, seeing that there is only a few good Ninja as it is.
And on another note, imagine how awesome the other legendary creatures could be, seeing that they'll have to play up to that Maelstrom Elemental's strength.
I <3 every time I see "Then do it again." on a card's reminder text.
I just remember someone saying and I can't help but giggle.
On-topic: looking forward to it, Planechase always seemed neat but I wasn't around when the first batch of sets came out. I wonder if this means there'll be a three-year cycle of Planechase, Archenemy, Commander?
Though I suppose there needs to be room for that Cube thing, and they wouldn't hint at new Commander decks before new Archenemy decks.
I don't always do it, but when I do, I do it again.
I'm real excited for these, mostly because I want to see those new cards! I can't believe we have to wait until June
Faithless Looting was spoiled today on the Mothersite. It will be a common card released in Dark Ascension, with different art, though.
I personally like this card a lot. If people can recall back to the ever-so-fun Reanimator decks, and even the ones played today in legacy, a very popular card choice was Careful Study. This card isCareful Study and more, since it's now got a nice little flashback add-on. Even though we don't have any current Reanimator decks in standard, I can see this card becoming a staple for some decks in the near future. After all, Innistrad block is graveyard themed, and we have no idea what kind of things await us in Dark Ascension.
What. The. Hell. Hey, what's up, Ha$bro executives? You ok there? Hey, you know what would REALLY boost sales other than these pathetic decks? Reintroduce old planeswalkers! Visit old planes that people DO care about.

I felt the same way lol. I really want to get these!

& on a realistic note, I like that first ability, it's very chaotic and wild and you never know who is going to get the Ooze!

I can't wait.

Can you say, that guy in a Riku commander deck? or any commander deck? Or any deck that runs those colors and needs a bomb?!?
I'm just upset they come out in June, I want one for christmas
And I am also interested to see the 32 new planes they're putting in. I bet there are some more that we haven't even heard of yet!
