Arachnus Web C
Enchantment – Aura
Enchant creature
Enchanted creature can’t attack or block and its activated abilites can’t be activated.
At the beginning of the end step, if enchanted creature’s power is 4 or greater, destroy Arachnus Web.

green Arrest with the Domestication clause... hmm.

Great Sword U 3

Equipped creature gets +3/+0.
Equip 3

ya could have let us guess....

other stuff:
Distress, no Duress
Shock, no Bolt
Sorin's Thirst doesn't match Sorin's first ability

Lightning Elemental flavor text:
"Oh, it's easy enough to kill, but I'm not going anywhere near it."
- Norin the Wary

Accorder's Shield ---> Kite Shield (slightly worse)

Lord of the Unreal
uu
Creature - Human Wizard Rare
Illusion creatures you control get +1/+1 and have hexproof.
"The dream does not end until I say so."
Illus. Jason Chan 2/2

i've been waiting for this!! i bet i'll draft this high and no one else will (cause i'm assuming there is a slight Illusion theme in blue). plus i always wanted to build something with Chronazoas...

Swiftfoot Boots
2
Artifact - Equipment Uncommon
Equipped creature has hexproof and haste.
Equip 1

great for Commander, but the lack of free equip is glaring.

It looks like there's a bit more love for mill in this set with the continuation of Jace's Erasure and the new merfolk miller. I might have to build that deck... a lot.

170 - Dung (Enchantment - Tribal Crap), Mythic

don't get too ahead of yourself, Jimmy. we all know it won't be long before you triumphantly announce casting a Dung-Rove Elder.

they've really been pushing the "skulking" ability in blue in the core set, and it really hasn't shown up in expert sets aside from the defender guy in Rise.

they can't call it "skulking because of the blue ones, and they can't call it "illusory" for the black ones. i proposed "spellshy" for M13.

i did call "exile" after all.

Grim Lavamancer - in!

I like the reprint of Quicksilver Amulet. Can't wait to see the art.

did you notice the other Odyssey block reprint in this set, Zombie Infestation? all the more reason to believe that Innistrad is another graveyard set. (plus that card in D12 with flashback...)

So Jace 3.0...

Jace, Memory Adept 3UU
Planeswalker - Jace Mythic Rare
+1: Draw a card. Target player puts the top card of his or her library into his or her graveyard.
0: Target player puts the top ten cards of his or her library into his or her graveyard.
-7: Any number of target players each draw twenty cards.

A mill-themed planeswalker? Pretty cool in my opinion, though I can see why people are already calling him "neutered-Jace".

I love how the comments on salvation oscillate between, "thanks Wizards for printing this garbage," and "thanks Wizards for printing another $50 planeswalker." Also, the same people complaining that JTMS was way overpowered are complaining that this one is way underpowered. Gotta love the internet.

I think he's a complete bomb in limited (as are most planeswalkers), though unless he has a decent starting loyalty, he probably won't see much play in constructed due to his cost and vulnerability. But he seems like a lot of fun.

EDIT: And watch this statement come back to bite me in the ass.

Also, very cool that they're printing new versions of Chandra and Garruk (supposedly).

i think it's fine! free Glimpse is sweet when you can do it to yourself.

i'm going to go out on a limb and say this is the best Big Deck planeswalker yet.

Doubling Season update:

those dummies speculated some dumb spider where my Doubling Season is supposed to be. WE'LL SEE ABOUT THAT.

EDIT: Rites of Flourishing probably took up the rare green enchantment slot. dammit!

Jace 3.0 + Jace's Erasure = Draw 20 and mill 20. KTHXBYE

I really love how the Planeswalkers are being pushed more and more with each core set. I'd love to see a Planeswalker themed set with "weaker" Planeswalkers that would be Uncommon and Rare and loads of cards that align with the main Planeswalkers and help spread loyalty counters and what not.

Some fun ones:
Vengeful Pharaoh 2BBB
Creature - Zombie
Deathtouch
Whenever combat damage is dealt to your or a planeswalker you control, if Vengeful Pharaoh is in your graveyard, destroy target attacking creature, then put Vengeful Pharaoh on top of your library.
Illus. Igor Kieryluk #116/249
5/4

Some nasty recursion.

Skinshifter 1G
Creature - Human Shaman
G: Choose one - Until end of turn, Skinshifter becomes a 4/4 Rhino and gains trample; or until end of turn, Skinshifter becomes a 2/2 Bird and gains flying; or until end of turn, Skinshifter becomes a 0/8 Plant. Activate this ability only once each turn.
Illus. Matt Stewart #195/249
1/1

Really cool and really flavorful.

Scrambleverse 6RR
Sorcery
For each nonland permanent, choose a player at random. Then each player gains control of each permanent for which he or she was chosen. Untap those permanents.
Sometimes a little chaos is in order.
Illus. Dan Scott #153/249

Please, no one ever play this. I guess it doesn't swap lands at least...

And Worldslayer is back!

New Ancestral:

Visions of Beyond U
Instant
Rare
Draw a card. If a graveyard has twenty or more cards in it, draw three cards instead.
"The past is the foundation for all that exists in the present. We merely reconstruct what our ancestors have already discovered."
- Sachimir, Sage of Memories
Illus. Terese Nielsen #80/249

At first I read "If a library has twenty or fewer cards in it..." a la Shelldock Isle, but that would be much too good.

Druidic Satchel 3
Artifact
Rare
2, Tap : Reveal the top card of your library. If it's a creature card, put a 1/1 green Saproling creature token onto the battlefield. If it's a land card, put that card onto the battlefield under your control. If it's a noncreature, nonland card, you gain 2 life.
Illus. Matt Stewart #207/249

Looks like a fun slow way to achieve card advantage.

Mind Unbound 4UU
Enchantment
Rare
At the beginning of your upkeep, put a lore counter on Mind Unbound, then draw a card for each lore counter on Mind Unbound.
The creations of the hand are confined by reality. The creations of the mind know no such limits.
Illus. Jason Felix #68/249

Made for Big Deck...

Spoiler:

personal Pandemonium! a long time coming...

i'm going to go out on a Jim and say that this is looking to be a fantastic core set!

Thran Golem is back and at Uncommon. To bad it wasn't already Uncommon or else I would really want to have a playset of these for Poor Man's.

Really like everything so far and I really, REALLY like Visions of Beyond. I can see that being worth a nice amount.
