Wohoo useable Banneret.....
The other two are limited but the soldier is really good there as a cheap flier that can be a combat trick. It should have costed one less and it would have been constructed playable. The aura will be better than it looks with the counter elementals and all the class lords that give bonuses to creatures with counters in limited.

Sorry, but how much does The Bombarier Cost? I guess 2W or 3W.
Looks like a good limited common. 2/2 fliers are never bad and an additional Combat trick is always welcome.

The Banneret isn't really surprising and White never has to few 2 mana 2 power critters. Let's see if he can make soldiers a little more playable.

As always, thanks a lot for the cards.

Woohoo, a crappy white version of the crappy black card Torture. The others will be solid cards in limited, but definitely not gamebreakers. It's not like soldiers and kithkin are very expensive to begin with.

Kithkin need Shadow or Flying, this way they can't kill.

Tou abuse Stingmoogie and Fertilid with it but otherwise a filler. Altough if you accelerate a bit you can start nuking a land a turn from turn 4 onward with the Stingmoogie and it. Might take a lot of people by suprise at an FNM.

Now that I think about it, the red banneret got reinforce so maybe a RW elementals for casual ?

The aura is actually really useful if you have some of those remove a counter get an effect things. Still, there's the 2 for 1 risk that you're getting. If you have an opportune moment and an opportune creature you can offset that, but perhaps that's too much too ask usually. I do not know.
The 2/2 flier for 3 with a combat trick is great for limited and a very playable white common (for a change). The banneret is also very effectively costed for an aggro deck. Nice cards!

That white enchantment makes me wonder whether Dragon Blood is in this set. I hope so.

I could see putting that enchantment on some pro creatures of some kind. Probably just casual deck material. Spike Feeder type of fun.

That kithkin is an interesting 3 drop. Yet another creature supplanting my Aven Changelings.

The Aura is okay. Much better if it also granted an additional ability on pumping mana into it (say, first-strike).

The Bombardier is excellent in Limited. 2/2 fliers are almost always welcome, and if need be, it can be a combat trick.

The Banneret is nice. Makes an already fast deck perhaps slightly faster. Also, aggressively costed, which is very nice indeed.

Nope, we have all the artifacts from the set (or at least know their names and Dragonblood wouldn't fit he Number Crunch). Also I believe there aren't any Dragons in Lorwyn.

This might cause some confusion. I guess some people would read this as:

Daily Regimen - W
Enchantment - Aura (U)
Enchant creature
Reinforce 1-1W
8/150

What is it? Is it supposed to be:

Daily Regimen - W
Enchantment - Aura (U)
Enchant creature
1W: Put a +1/+1 counter on enchanted creature
8/150

???

That is actually a really good point I hadn't thought of. It still is a pretty bad card, but with the focus on +1/+1 counters it will perhaps be slightly better than if they'd printed it in another set.

And yeah, there are no dragons in Lorwyn, so Dragon Blood is definitely not in.

Zaphod, it says it puts the counter on enchanted creature, not target creature. It's obviously just a typo and the hyphen should be a colon.
