Bauble may be playable (56 card deck anyone?), and Mouth of Ronom definately is is we get any good snow stuff and no Snow-Armogeddon .

I don't really like the King. Seems like a dollar rare.
EDIT: Wow, I misread the King. Really nice with self-damage stuff.

[fooligan]

yes, more baubles, less cards in library!

king seems nice with painlands! ****ing ridiculous!
more ways to deal with en-vec in colourless! ...now if only it produced red...

[SecretSantana]

The land's silly. Lands that double as removal are almost unfair. And it doesn't even require ?

This set is looking like some dude's Magic Workstation set.

[Gallo]

DAMNIT! I'm really deluded, I expected Darien to be a good finisher for a knights deck and they make him 6cc?!?!? You'd be dead before getting him in play....and he's not even a knight! DAMN YOU WOTC DAMN YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!

Well whatever.. Hope at least they'll make the other knights good

Edit: re-thinking about it...... in a deck with the dark confidant and peace of mind to discard haakon and the other knights for life gain... he may be useful....(It's a pity he costs 6 mana)they should've made him a 4cc 2/2 with this ability

[einhorn]

The similarity to Urza's Bauble is just silly. Well, I guess it's kind of cool... :P

Mouth of Ronom is pretty nuts. That's Quicksand on steroids.

[oracle of truth]

Darian may be playable, especially with the painlainds. I really like Mishra's Bauble, it's basically a free cantrip that thins out your deck. The best thing about it is the fact that it mirrors Urza's Bauble . I am not really sure about Mouth of Ronom, it may find a place in a burn deck.

[Horseshoe_Hermit]

I'm running 4 Mishra's Bauble...

I wonder why they're having the old cantrip effect? Is it a one-time thing (maybe JUST so the deck can't technically be called "ZOMG 56-cards!"), or is the old cantrip thing coming back?

I think Mouth of Ronom was mis-designed. Although, it means the realm of 4 spot damage is now not just the purview of Char for Red. Which may or may not be good.

I don't like this Snow mana. Apparently, the colour of the Snow mana never matters... ugh...

Losing life is not taking damage. Darien + Dark Confidant is a bombo, not a combo.

[Umgenni Kemo]

And finally, after three years of waiting, we get a Human Lord in King Darien...

But WHY doesn't he boost Humans?

Mishra's Bauble's really neat. Mouth of Ronom is cool, it's a nice colorless removal that can go into any deck!

[MoxManiac]

Bauble and that land is awesome.

[ferro_man]

i can make a bauble deck now that we will have 5 different baubles
i'm thinking red with mass land destruction to take advantage of Lodestone Bauble and wayfarer's bauble

[Gallo]

Bauble seems a neat trick to me, it's a pity that there's nothing useful with storm in t2 actually.

As for Darien... ok he SUCKS, he doesn't even work with the confidant..... I'll have to use a pally with a shadow lance to finish my opponent off (or the valkyrie, it's a 6cc but at least is a waaaay better beater)

[god of cyanide]

darien could be sweet... he's probably best in WR, just because you will always have the option of shocking (or, better, helixing yourself) to generate extra guys to swing FTW. but you'd really need to accelerate into him quickly enough to matter (see desperate ritual, seething song)...

i think the bauble will get used in decks that either don't have any card drawing, or are uber-controlling. so i guess it is only a good thing. wish they didn't keep up the delayed-draw thing though...

the land is ok, 4 damage is nothing to sneeze at, though you have to be at 6 mana to use it. most useful for setting up that final swing, methinks.

all in all, a few more cards, and they're decent. no one with nothings so far...

[MoxManiac]

How about Orcish Artillery with Darien?
