[GTC] – 12/31 DailyMTG Previews: Deathpact Angel, Illusionist's Bracers, lots of small stuff

[Target Player]

I like how fresh Deathpact Angel's ability feels. I would love to see more cards with such an ability.

[Senior Gomez]

Can't decide if I'm going Boros or Gruul for the Prerelease still... Definately building Naya though, haha.

Protip: looking at the product page, it seems last week's spoilers will be our prerelease promos.

Actually, you make a good point: there have been a few drakes that received killer artwork, only to set at the common rarity.

Wassupwitdat?!

I actually like all of these cards.
Gridlock reminds me of the art on Blockbuster.

Dimir's promo has a P/T so it's a new card

If that is the case I will be Dimir for the Prerelease

Bracers is cool. I like me some duplicating. The Angel is awesome. Bloodrush got a whole lot cooler now that it can slap abilities on stuff... very nice night. Set is looking great.

[Target Player]

I love everything about Burning-Tree Emissary.

The cost. The name. The artwork. The beautiful woman. The action of the bystander in the art. The brilliant flavor text responding even to my own previous commentary on the Gruul guild.

Neat card.

You'd think so, but it seems to me that they are all creatures (with the p/t bar in the bottom right). But it seems clear that the Orzhov and the Simic are the same, while Dimir looks, like, a Gigapede? No clue for now.

[Wustin]

I'm not sure how I feel about the Angel. It seems like it could be really awful or really good depending on the situation.

[Spaz350]

REALLY happy that they didn't just make Bloodrush straight power and toughness boosting. Limited is going to be crazy playing against Gruul. Combat will be very unpredictable, sounds great!

[DTG99]

I REALLY hope that they print at least a couple good, decently costed creatures with Bloodrush. I love the mechanic, I love creatures that can double as combat tricks.
