You are right that Orrery currently creates the silliest game states and plays. Playing it for free sounds pretty good.

I just saw that Leyline of the Void is in also. I wonder if it will effect standard at all.

Stops Vengevine and current dredge decks.

It also stops Pyromancer Ascension type effects where it looks at your GY to get counters or Flashback/Unearth card effects. I mean, there are tons of things that Leyline of the Void will stop, but Veng and Dredge are probably the hardest hit.

After Deflection, Reroute, Ricochet Trap, Swerve, Imp's Mischief, Divert, Goblin Flectomancer, and Misdirection, they finally printed this simple card:

Redirection
UU
Rare
Instant
You may choose new targets for target spell.
"Your strategy is extraordinary. I just adjusted a few minor details."
-Veris, Guardian of the fortress Indi

Lol, was the name Redirection seriously not already taken? Well ... it took them long enough; now we'll be looking at this as a temp for any future redirect effects.

EDIT: We also have a reprint of Fork (although, the copy of the spell doesn't change to Red)

Reverberate
RR
Instant Rare
Copy target instant or sorcery spell. You may choose new targets for the copy.

Here's your maze:

Mystifying Maze
Land
Rare
Tap : Add 1 to your mana pool

4, Tap : Exile target attacking creature an opponent controls. At the beginning of the next end step, return it to the battlefield tapped under its owner's control.
Illus. Robh Ruppel #226/249

A bunch more spoiled recently, including Mass Polymorph which is... well, a mass Polymorph. The art is pretty funny, though. Also a Wildfire that costs one more, but deals 5 damage and causes players to sacrifice 5 lands. DoJ is back, as is Triskelion.

I am liking these two:

Sword of Vengeance
3
Artifact - Equipment Rare
Equipped creature gets +2/+0 and has first strike, vigilance, trample and haste.

Equip 3
When wielded by a true believer, it matters little whether the sword is a relic or a replica

Call to Mind
2U
Sorcery Uncommon
Return target instant or sorcery card from your graveyard to your hand.

Call to Mind in a UR Poor Man's deck, YES SIR! I can see the giant Kiln Fiends and Wee Dragonauts now ... LB, Call to Mind, LB ... I may have jizzed a little ...

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I so want that for Big Deck. It's no Maze of Ith, but it is REAAAALLYYY annoying.

Yeah that is incredibly annoying ... WANT!

I'll be sure to play all the Titans and 187 creatures then.

None of the Titans disappointed me, the Blue one is probably the lowest on my want scale, but its not horrible.

I like the Maze as anti-stealing tech. Sure you can steal that fatty of mine, but you better never attack with it.

Stormtide Leviathan
5UUU
Creature - Leviathan Rare
Islandwalk
All lands are Islands in addition to their original type.
Creatures without flying or Islandwalk can't attack.

No P/T leaked yet, but just imagine how powerful this is ... You stop A LOT of shit ... Boardwide Spreading Seas ... Fliers and Islandwalkers are the only things that can swing (and you probable have more than your opponent) ... And it makes all those big as Islandhome Serpents we get every set playable

~Zuty

Boardwide Spreading Seas ...

Spreading Seas makes them only islands. More like Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth.

My bad, didn't see the 'in addition' part ... Still Islandwalk FTW ?

~Zuty

full set spoiled!

Full Spoiler

nothing really interesting in the balance of the set. but Jinxed Idol! neat. cue Clay Aiken jokes.

He may not be a 4/1, but I like this guy (with awesome flavor text and art):

Manic Vandal 2R
Creature - Human Warrior Common
When Manic Vandal enters the battlefield, destroy target artifact.
It's fun. He doesn't need another reason.
Illus. Christopher Moeller #151/249 2/2

I also found this interesting:

Hunters' Feast 3G
Sorcery Common
Any number of target players each gain 6 life.
#182/249

One of the first very obvious nods to multiplayer teammates (or archenemy teammates).

anyone notice that Sorcerer's Strongbox doesn't sacrifice unless you win the flip?

i'm a dungus; i never noticed.

Did not notice that either ...
