Banishing Knack: 1cc Boomerang that can be abused with Q?

Crackburr: Already spoiled, I believe.

Canker Abomination: Chase Uncommon, IMO. even if it's 4/4, that's still pretty good.

Fable: Too pricy.

Spitemare: Pretty good

Nightmare Incursion: A different kind of corrupt, might be a good sb.

Sanity Grinding is a huge bomb! In a mono blue deck, it can hit hard.

Fable of Wolf and Owl is an awesome blue-green card, well worth the wait through the dryness of non-blue-green spoilerage.

Evershrike is amazing! Discard it and the b/w 1 mana +3/+3 thing, then you can play a 7/7 flying creature for 3 mana. WOW!

Also, Evershrike's ability requires an enchantment in the graveyard and white has an enchantment theme.

So that weirdo dragon-ish art was from Evershrike. It doesn't look quite as strange on the card.

No it requires Evershrike in the graveyard and an enchantment in your hand.

Evershriek is very interesting, could it be possible that a card could make auras tournament competitive??

While Evershrike looks tricky to break, Spitemare is a pretty powerful landmine that people are going to have to deal with. Combos with lots of good cards too, so this is a winner.

Crackleburr... is FIREFOX! I'm glad we finally have the name on this fellow, because he sounded too awesome for split fuzzball, but the art is the best ever! It reminds me almost exactly of the Mozilla firefox logo.

Evershrike + Spirit Loop = saucy. 4/4 Flying Lifelinker that can be recurred at will for 4 mana.

It also really likes Greater Auramancy, and I dunno maybe Nomad Mythmaker?
