Mmmm, shepherd looks quite delicious. Not sure if it'll be actually playable because of the distinct lack of a Naya deck in standard, but it could set up some delicious plays... Noble Hierarch into Woolly Thoctar into this or Spellbreaker could be a very fun sequence of events.

Seriously, I don't like the new art as well. It's not bad art, but it would look much more fitting on a wizard that had flying.

The Fungas is ridiculous. It doesn't have a sac ability, but when compaired to Ravenous Baloth, it's pretty damn impressive.
She's not flying (at least, in my interpretation). She's holding back a big fiery blast (appropriate).

Ok, so I am not the only one. I think I may actually play Power 5 in standard.

I wish he said play too, though I won't be playing them. I'd just like to see some 5 power naya.

Being someone that loves Meddling Mage, I'm rather dissapointed with the new art.

She doesn't really look that meddling is all, oh well, maybe I was hoping a bit too much.

Dude 5 power decks are so last year, they are not really type two but hey thanks for trying!!!

Now if one was to reprint Glare of sudual and watchwolf, like i've asked wizards to do!!! (it wont hurt i promise, you'll make money off of them money's good right??) Then i would play a glare deck and put the fungus in it!!

And I thought my Mayael deck would be hurting for a 4 drop once Rumbling Slum got the axe...
This thing is a beast.
And the MM art will take getting used to. Wonder why they made it female?
