Overcosted Kirin, Epic and Maro... The worst Kirin BY FAR, an unspectacular Epic, and an unspectacular Maro.

Why does R&D hate green so much?

Oh and R_E, It's SOK not BOK.

BEST Epic, BEST Maro, BEST ''return" creature, WORST Kirin

Go Figure.

Does this mean you're giving us the whole damn thing? :winky:

Thanks, r_e!

Vounteous Kirin - Green Flying is good, but it's too pricey. Repeated life gain isn't bad, though.

Dense Canopy - Nice.

Desendant of Masomoru - Not so sure about this one. How do you ensure you have cards?

Endless Swarm - Far too expensive for my tastes. Easily dealt with.

Fiddlehead Kami - Limited Potential. Not so bad.

Kashi Tribe Elite - Snakes got a new best friend.

Masumaro, First to Live - Can be quite dangerous. I like it.

Molting Skin - Broken Fall reprint? Eh, not so bad.

Reki, the History of Kamigawa - Has potential, but I'm not sure how to use it.

Sakura Tribe Scout - Eh. Nothing special.

Seed the Land - Looks cool. Careful in the mirror match!

Seek the Horizon - Nice way of ensuring you stay ahead in the card-in-hand race.

Sekki, Season's Guide - The phantoms return? Looks good!

Stamping Serow - Can be dangerous if not dealt with. I like it!

Some nice stuff here!

Altough some of these are awesome (green-Epic, Sekki, Kirin), I don't like the fact that the Kamigawa block is so full of sort-off reprints, in this case of Broken Fall, Stampeding Wildebeests and (sort off) Skyshroud Ranger.

Cooolllll... These green cards mostly rock the kasbah.
Masumaro, First to Live
- 3GGG
Legendary Creature - Spirit (R)
Masumaro, First to Live's power and toughness are each equal to twice the number of cards in your hand.
*/*
This maro seems powerfull but just as limited as the other maros.
Sekki, Seasons' Guide - 5GGG
Legendary Creature - Spirit (R)
Sekki, Seasons' Guide comes into play with eight +1/+1 counters on it.
If damage would be dealt to Sekki, prevent that damage, remove that many +1/+1 counters from Sekki, and put that many 1/1 colorless Spirit creature tokens into play.
Sacrifice eight Spirits: Return Sekki from your graveyard to play.
I really like this one, you get a recurable creature and a big fatty and alot of little guys, seems like a winning strategy.

Seek the Horizen: Great with Sashyo, Orochi Ascendant. The flip condition on that is looking attainable now.

Bounteous Kirin: Well, I guess it makes the White Flipper easy to flip, but not as impressive as the other Kirin IMO.

Masumaru: Potential to be HUGE! Definitely the Beatstick of the Maro cycle.

Stampeding Serow (WTF is a Serow?): 5/4 Trample for 4 with small drawback? Sign me up! This will smash face in Limited...

Masumaro.....oh yeah

Green Kirin - nice, as the red and white are

Endless Swarm....yummy

And Sekki.... this set turns out to be super cool

BTW, R_E, I have a sneaking suspicion that there are some black and blue ones, waiting to be revealed, am I right?
