Ardent Plea - Once each. Not like that helps much though.
Reveal - 7 (one instance prespoiled, and five for the landcyclers)
Revealed - 6 (two prespoiled) Four instances seems a bit high. Maybe Sages of the Anima is part of a cycle?

I'm pretty sure someone figured this out before I did. I would spend the time figure out who they were, if I weren't to busy trying to make my own discoveries.
More to come as sleeplessness improves my creativity.
Well, Battlegrace Angel and Rafiq of the Many both have "Whenever a creature you control attacks alone..."
Ah, makes sense. So, extra exalted abilities - those are always nice. I don't know what could be better than double strike, lifelink, and a tap ability better than this. Still, should be good. (Maybe it'll be paired up with naya's 5/x mechanic? I like the idea...)
I'm going to wildly jump to conclusions and assume that this, along with each single-mana getting two instances, is how they get one-drops into the set. If I was feeling any more smug, I would even put somthing in my signature.
