Pretty good for limited.
The 5/6 guy seems stupidly good especially with tokens.

Wow, I like the Behemoth. There HAS to be an abusable 2-drop to follow with that...

So the shieldmage does only work for arti creatures. Oh well, there goes everyone's hopes for "Countering" volcanic fallout.

Behemoth seems mediocre unless combined with CITP cards with really good effects. It's like a Gating card, except if he gets killed you lose Tempo AND Card Advantage. And it'd not like five power for three mana is that big of a deal these days.

Cascade cards are cascade cards. I'd play the life one if it was as bit more life (5-7) or 1 less mana, as it stands its probably going to nab a two drop, and two drop + 4 life isn't worth 4 mana IMHO. It's funny if you can hit a Kitchen Finks with it thought. Watch aggro cry. The alpha strike plus cascade also seems a little weak, maybe if +2/+0?

No offense to anyone who has posted spoiled cards(Thank you by the way).
I find it funny how alot of the people who are showing the spoiled cards have hardly
any posts on the boards. Im guessing a lot of them are scared of some backlash for spoiling new cards so they make new accounts.

This is Huge. You can simply return a 1/1 token or a cheap 187 creature to get a 3 drop that trumps DORAN in fattiness.

If it's instant maybe can be playable. Cascade is random, but in the right deck you can play a good two or three mana spell at instant speed gaining 4 on the top. Not Broodbraid Elf (in testing proved really worthy) but we'll see

Another cascade. Another probably playable card. I've still to understand if cascade will have a tournament impact (i believe maybe some cards like the elf) or will be only played in limited and casual

That's nuts. I can't believe this is a cylce.

The UG dude is good with comes into play and leaves play abilities like mulldrifter.

Yuck. The sheildmage is disappointing. It was supposed to counter burn to the dome as spoiled, now it just saves your men. That's kinda lame. The card is still powerful, but its kind of lame that it doesn't work like we though it did.

The behemoth is going to pwn many in limited at the very least and I could see it being abused with comes into play effects (bounce an evoked mulldrifter ftw)

And of course there had to be a crappy life gaining spell with the new mechanic strapped on to it.

Don't think it says "flash".
