I was under the impression Feather was killed by Krenko in a short story on the main page a while back. Was that clarified some time later that I missed?
My apologies if I missed this somewhere along the way, but has anyone put thought into a green/blue infect deck, I know there's a intro pack along those lines and was curious if anyone expanded upon that or if black is just too necessary?
Did anyone else notice that black had less arts than the rest of the colours? Maybe it's just coincidence, but could this indicate that maybe the 3rd set in the block will have more black, and this one will have less (like torment)?
I noticed that too, though it maybe that the mirran forces don't have much black, and the Phryxia forces make up a substantial amount of black in this set.
Also, I really hope there is more Mephidross and a Lord.
I disagree that there are not a lot that can kill Bloodlord due to its chump clause. It can run into issues with, RDW, Boros, Elves, Bant, Eldrazi and WW, however, i think it will make a very good sideboard option against jund. Even if they get thrinax activated, you still wind up with a significant blocker that will be freed up by nocturnus.
As for Nirkana Cutthroat, its tempting and I will probably playtest it, but I don't know in what slot yet.
The only guys in white weenie would be Conqueror's Pledge tokens, and the possible Stoneforge Mystic. I don't really see elves or goblins that much in standard, but Ill take your word for it.
Student of warfare, and a number of allies if those decks carry over into eldrazi at all. Elves I encounter a fair deal in my meta personally, and so you get blocked by a Llanowar Elf or Visionary or birds of paradise, Hierarch in Bant too.
I'd be curious to know what the other rare was in the Black Red Vampire precon was besides Drana, if you happen to recall. Thanks for the information all the same though.
Exactly, I prefer if they gave us the two corner pieces.
There might be enough text box given to figure out the two (three?) other abilities, and you get the costs and loyalty, basically giving you the entire card before they actually reveal the text boxes.
Exactly, which is why I expect we'll get the 2 inner pieces, or only a half.

Well there are some in White Weenie, Elves and a few goblins as well.
That's what smothers are going to be for.

(Awesome avatar btw, love that show)
I seem to recall a picture of Anowan standing with Sorin and Nissa for a later set, my guess is he survives the blow dealt by Sarkhan.
appears to be the Sydney piece, nice
