We loves you Nocturnus!

More relevantly, I like Minedigging. Is it just me or would that be playable without Conspire (unlike the other Conspire cards)? It's going in my EDH...

Also, it's good to see more playable manafixing for Limited. The bottle is great for hitting those multi-colored costs...

[Capt'N Glam]

Nocturnus, you're the hero of the night !!

haha, poison, but no poison ..

[Arnnaria]

Nothing too great. Poison the well continues blacks bleed as the main land destroying color, with the red portion being the damage dealt.

[Kr@cked]

Both Poison the Well and Minedigging are decent. Poison the Well has an awkward mana cost, but is still quite playable in Standard, should some kind of LD deck ever be viable. Minedigging is a nice card for some decks, specifically Enchantress decks.

+ Utopia Vow or Paradise Mantle = best manafixing ever. Great way to cast an early Reaper King.

Poison the Well is just Despoil in a hybrid environment.

Very comboistic for casual.

[god of cyanide]

the artifact is pretty solid, typical artifact-based mana-fixing common.

the rest... eh. scarecrows are really going to suck, aren't they? they need real mana ramping. *edit* never mind, fooled by the . never again...

also nice to see conspire on a white card.

[Emperor Norton]

Bad mana fixer... is bad.
Scarecrow - more bad mana fixing: this would have been borderline without the , but with it it just isn't playable
Poison the Well - Kind of a cute LD/burn to the face card. Overall, not impressed though
Minedigging - I like this. A nice little white effect that helps give it some recursion. Not sure how well it will work out, but an anti-disenchant is a cute trick edit: missed conspire. Card advantage is good, but the price of tapping 2 is pretty high. White is pretty good at getting a large number of creatures out, though.

Thanks for all the cards provided today! I like to see more and more LD.

For just simple commons I really like them. the artifacts are great for limited, the well is yet another ld spell that might make a deck. Minddigging can get 2 of your aura's/ scarecrows back, ready to be recast. Solid limited stuff. Even Poison the well might make the cut if the opponent has a lot of big bombs but a setchy mana base while you have an aggro deck in limited.

Thanks again

Somehow I was really expecting an Argivian Find variant for the last 3 blocks.
Poison the Well will go right into my R/B LD SUI deck

[FirstType]

That Pili-Pala Scarecrow is going to be a fairly high pick in Limited. Nice non-green mana fixer that can go into decks of any color.

And as for Mine Excavation: Note the interesting templating, where you can make it affect your opponents' cards. This ties back into the issue discussed by Devin Low in his article at http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=mtgcom/daily/dl28 where he mentioned that WotC is doing more wording along the lines of Grave Scrabblers and Revive the Fallen rather than Raise Dead these days.

Its playable in the way that its a very unusually effect but I think it would be overcosted without conspire (compare it to raise dead...). But yes proberly nice in EDH (equiments ('clamp, jitte and swords are nice) are in my exp very powerfull and pretty hard to do anything about).

[Edit]I think its wierd that ppls rating for limitet goes kind of haywire then a new set comes out. Really that artifact is not getting even close to the cards in my limitet decks (and he is proberly not good egough for constructed). We are talking about colorfixing that requires you to attack with a 1/1 (ok I overlooked the flying part me baaaad) which needs to survive to do fix your mana.

In the thread about the 2/1 for r/g someone thought it to be firstpick material (which it might be for price purposes but its not THAT great in limtet 3-5 perhaps. Its not a bomb and its not removel and its not even a efficently costed evasive creature -> its not a first pick - well outside of bad boosters[/edit]
