Wow....thats as close to StP as we are getting in T2. And wow thats a bomb. That Augistine guy is actually pretty good for 4 mana. Btw, new tech with Auguistine now with Spelltithe Enforcer. Not to mention Followed Footsteps on Spelltithe.

wow, that Augustin is amazing. It makes me want to actually abandon my Rakdos state of mind and go Azorius. and it even gave me a reason to finally post something.

I don't see anything great about the last card, unless you want to make an ally in a free for all game.

The Blame/Denouncement thingie will be pretty nice. It will do well vs Dredge creatures, too. I'd probably take reciprocate over it, but I like reciprocate more than the average person.

Arbiter is nuts - great cost, great effects. It will see play. Has some nice syngergy with Circu, too (kinda).

Bah, that Biomancer spell is jank in duelist matchups. In 2HG I bet it could be nice (I'll target my other head and we'll each draw a bunch of cards. still it's a nutty high cost and can't be compared to how good Debtor's Knell is).

Oh wowow! Augustin gave me a braingasm! I couldn't read the third card because my brain was busy gasming! Holy Crap! Dissension is becoming my favorite set of what is shaping up to be my favorite block!

Lay Blame is awesome! Elegant and sometimes better than RFG.

Augustin Should make your spells cost less That would have SO rocked. Now it's ok, but i don't see it played anywhere.

The Sorcery ... hmm, two target players. Two Headed Giant Format, anyone?

Me demi-StP (yes, only demi after further review). Grand Arbiter ain't too shabby either. Thanks for supplying some actually useable spoilers!

Augustin is...cruel. I don't want to see him come down on the other side of the table.

Wow, that censure cards is going to be the chase uncommon. That thing is extremely powerful. Austin is really nice too, wouldn't mind putting him in a Sphere of Resistance deck...

1. Censure is restrictive, but it most likely will find a home in W/U, where the biggest worry is aggressive creatures. One mana to take care of almost any active threat, in a color combination that's low on efficient removal, is quite good. However, if W/U turns out to be more aggro-controlly, Devouring Light will see more play.

2. Augustin. Is. Awesome. Worried about its stats? Drop it on turn five with a Remand or Mana Leak in hand. Unless your opponent is playing heavy mana acceleration, four-mana for a Mortify puts your opponent in an unfortunate position. Not to mention, all your W/U spells cost 2 less to play! 2! This is insane!

3. I don't really see the point of the hybrid. It's symmetrical and it costs a lot of mana. :\

Actually, the abilities stack, and it reduces it by 2.

I think the new sword to plowshare was made because they needed a good white card for textless. Umm arbiter is a new circu. Looks cool but kinda sucks. The other card is casual junk.

Adding to them to the spoiler as we speak.
The source is legit, naturally.


Uhh...can anyone grab a word that fits the orb for the white card?
Obviously it will be elegant, as WoTC likes those elegant words for elegant cards like it.

Can you target youself twice.... The Arbiter and the White card are nice but the green/blue card.... Bleh. What a piece of crap. IMO, unless they have some rediculous board sweep then its horrible.
