Very interesting counterspell, but at 2UU that ability is not good enough to warrant constructed play.

I'm pretty happy about the butcher in limited, a solid 2 drop which combines First Strike and Wither for some interesting combat.

Cards look interesting, but what is Rustrazor Butcher's creature types?

Put Away costs one more than Cancel for an effect that will have no effect on the game the vast majority of the time. This after sets where for the same mana cost you could clash for Mana Drain, or get a discard? Atrocious.

Both creatures are Limited playable, like pretty much every other card in this set.

Not much more to say.

Blah. Edited out my stupidity.

Put Away reads "up to one." You have the option to choose zero or one. You do not need a card in the graveyard to play it.

You can play Put Away even if there are no cards in your graveyard, it says you may shuffle "up to one target cards" from your graveyard, so if you have no cards it just has no effect, it's not mandatory to target at least one card in your graveyard, plus the shuffling effect happens after the countering anyway.
It's still a bad card though, I doubt that tagged-on effect would be of much use most of the time.

Put Away

Nice counter for limited, but a little bit costy. The ability could be usefull if you lost an important card. But limited only.

Limited 6/10
Constructed 4/10

Lockjaw Snapper

Interesting card ! Wither and an ability which combo with itself. Could be good if your creatures doesn't have scars on them.

Limited 6/10
Constructed (not playable yet)

Rustrazor Butcher

On land it's the best low-cost wither creature. It could take down Sickle reaper or Scuzzback scrapper, and even wont take damage to the spider. none of the 1 or 2 drop creatures could take him down in this set on their own.

Limited 7/10
Constructed 3/10 (I don't know...)

I really like Snapper - perfect for my future Wither deck. Well, maybe it costs too much **

And a creature with built-in Wither and First Strike is pretty good, too.

I'm going to believe them they fit with the orb, they are believable and no one(with brains) would bother posting a fake with only a couple of days to go before it's found out. So thankyou GoblinBoom.

Put Away- Horrible name, decent limited counter, in constructed a 4cc counter needs to be a heap better than this to be playable.(might see block play).

Lockjaw Snapper- 4 for a 2/2 wither is pretty boring but it's extra ability is really nice at killing off(or at least hurting) wither affected or persist affected creatures.

Rustrazor Butcher- Nice card, first strike plus wither on a 1/2 for 1r, any pump spells or better still pump equipment/aura's and this becomes very hard to deal with.

Dammit, I always forget how fast you guys are. I edited that after about ten seconds.

Honestly, the card wouldn't be any worse with a mandatory target, because no one's ever going to play it regardless.

Put Away is crap, the other two are decent.

I'm a bit disappointed by the spell, but the scarecrow's nice and they printed a creature with both first strike and wither.
