Finally, a useful Merrow one-drop. This takes a lot of pressure off of Drowner of Secrets to tap all your remaining merfolk before your turn starts.

A one mana changeling! I didn't think they'd print one - this is a bigger deal that it looks!

Some concepts were begging for a one mana changeling, and yes this is great with Merfolk!

It's sad, but I'm probably most excited about the one cost changeling.

Wow, the Mothdust Changeling might actually be somewhat constructed playable. Finally something that isn't 100% limited chaff!

Thanks!
I like the Aura. Any form of creature alteration such as that was ridiculous in Lorwyn limited... (Deathrender was amazing just for the +2/+2...)
Morningtide is adding quite a bit of stuff in that vein.

The changeling is also quite nice indeed. I can't think of any constructed decks that would play it, (instead of Mutavault) but it is still a nice card.

Mothdust changeling is a decent-good card for limited, but a never play in constructed. That's a unique way to jump.
Reins of the Vinesteed is probably crap in limited full stop. You can't really say if it will be card really, but I don't see it getting you anywhere for the 4 mana you pay.

Well I see basically no difference from deglamer to naturalize. Shuffling it in probably won't matter at all. Decent sideboard card IMO for standard. Oh wait... Krosan Grip...
oh and Reins is terrible.

Deglamer is an interesting card, I wish wish it had been G, but of course that would've been a _bit_ too good, whereas 1G is a bit too bad to make it playable. Oh well.

Mothdust is yet another creature that could benefit Merfolk and will be taken appropriately.

Reins is the sweet, sweet nuts in draft. I don't expect +2/+2 for a four mana enchantment to make any impact on constructed. 2G +3/+3 with Dredge, sure. But this one will rock the limited tables and avoid the constructed ones.

I think the intent of Deglamer is to shuffle their deck to mess up their clashes and harbingers, while also removing an annoying perm.

Wow, why?

Deglamer is Naturalize with anti-recursion built in. Yeah, maybe they'll draw it, maybe not. I can see it very nice in conjunction with stuff like Primal Command and Nevermaker.

A 1 mana changling is great. Several times I've wanted one when building decks. I'm sure this will be in several decks I build.

Vinesteed reminds me of that dredge +2/+2 enchantment, except you don't have to dredge or recast it. Seems worth the 1 extra. I don't see how it isn't good.

Haha! Finally a 1 drop changeling!

I wish it was a different color though.

The 2 green cards looks cute IMO. The Demalger seems to be an answer to the Aura.

And if shadowmoor is indeed a graveyard based set, depending on the mechanics it could see some use.
