Wow, that elf cantrip is pretty nice No Wall of Blossoms, but good enough. The "metallurgist" will be a necessary card for Esper limited, against the inevitable artifact hate.

Elvish Visionary looks insanely powerful for a common, and kinda reminds me of Wall of Blossoms. Granted, rather than stop aggro in its tracks it'll merely provide a chump-blocker, but the CIP cantrip for two mana seems way playable and abusable in the right deck. Compare this to Silvergill Adept: no conditional cost and lower rarity...

Scourglass poses itself for some interesting plays: you can actually wait until your opponent resolves Mistbind Faerie during your upkeep before you choose to blow it up. The tradeoff is that it can be shut down by Pithing Needle, but for a five-mana, preemptive, potentially one-sided Akroma's Vengeance, it's not like I'm complaining...

I'm not sure how to translate "Metalúrgico" since the best fit would be Metalworker o_O. Still, as a cheap, repeatable regenerator this'll either eat a Magma Spray or totally warp a limited game...

Immortal Coil is interesting to say the least. As long as you have a sacrifice/bounce outlet, this card can represent a significant amount of damage prevention and/or card advantage during the late-game. Looks like this would be most effective in a permanent-light control deck... *sigh* Maybe by the end of the season, once CFX and SCS restore some balance to the metagame...

It also looks like the Heralds are all Uncommon. I said it and I'll repeat it: if someone pulls a Herald combo consistently at my Pre-Release or Release, I'll punch him in the face, steal his trade binder and toss all his Mutavaults in the toilet, cause that kind of luck needs to be balanced out somehow... Hey don't blame me: blame WoTC for making an expansion where such random, unbalanced events *could* happen...

Immortal Coil is really a rare in the same set as Relic of Progenitus?

Well that's peachy... a whole cycle of vanilla 1/1 creatures that do nothing else unless you get a specific mythic rare. Yay limited.

On the other hand... if you do pick up a first pick Godsire or Hellkite Overlord or whatever, you could easily grab 3-4 of the matching heralds and bash face every game...
