Wonder if coloured artifacts are going to be restricted to a single shard. That would be pretty interesting, rather than everything being cycled.

waauw, this is great!

I like multicoloured cards.
And certainly if they are UWB

A blue artifact... this means we can add some future sight cards to the spoiler

SO hot, thanks a lot for the scans!!

Too bad that, unlike ravnica, there's no guild seal that differentiate the shards.

Btw, I look forward to the new lands, I'm sure they're good, since these are uber difficultlt to cast atm.

3-colored cards at uncommon... I wonder if there are commons too?

Edit: what, the 3-colored 4/4 Gargoyle is an artifact!

Hopefully the art helps. The Gargoyle at least looks as wub to me as it can get.

Edit: Aaaaand we have the art for the Esper Battlemage already.

The Blight Lightning is really, really nice As is the Goblin Bitterblossom
The Naya Battlemage looks very promising in draft.

The mana costs do look a bit daunting, after a block full of hybrid play-whatever-you-want-together costs. It seems every deck will be playing with the Quick and Toast manabase. So it might be a good thing that Magus of the Moon is rotating out (then again, please let there be a Blood Moon type effect or good mana denial strategies be available. Otherwise we'll have another block of Big Fat Wallet Deck Wins..)

Colored Artifacts are nice too. Nothing really exciting about them though so far, though this one seems to be a quite decent draw spell. 2+2 Mana for 2 cards is a decent cost.


Edit- With all these costs, we should expect to see a cycle of uncommon colorfixing lands, maybe even a common colorfix land like Shimmering Grotto or Terramorphic Expance. Good landfetch (Harrow ftw) is probably also coming.

Colored artifacts? I thought this day would never come...
Rafiq seems awesome. The rest is pretty meh... no new keywords so far

About the Rhino... well... I really really really prefer the Loxodons.

I love the stoic Angel and the Rafiq art is just... wow...

Blight Lightning has some mean art by Baxa and the effect is rather good 3 damage and 2 cards discarded for 3cc is a real bargain! ... Having said that we might be spoiled and really feel the pinch of it not being hybrid =P

The only qualm I have is... Rhino? Ah well matter taste I guess =) I like elephants though
