Personally, Pierce Strider is much better than Peace Strider, and Phyrexian Crusader is better than Mirran Crusader. All the premium white removal and red kill won't touch it. I also like the double strike on Mirran Crusader though. . .

What is your avatar a picture of?

It's nice that they're bringing some balance back. The double strike allows for a kill in 5 turns, and the infect allows for a kill in 5 turns. Different mechanic, same effect, much like when invasion came out with the phyrexian slayer and razorfoot griffin.

Wait for a Neurok Crusader.

Three for a 2/2 unblockable that when it deals combat damage to a player, choose one of the following abilities. "Look at the top card of target player's library. You may put that card on the bottom of that player's library, draw three cards, then put two cards from your hand on top of your library in any order, or return target creature to its owner's hand."

Be waiting a long time for that one.

As for the crusaders I feel the white one is better. It isx immuine to black removal and while red can hurt it their is more static pumps in white then other colors such as honor of the pure easily putting it out of reds range not to mention both knight lords are white (the fact they are both sanadrad as well makes me want to do a knight deck). Also you have to take account the bases of the3 block is a 50/50 split between phyrexia and mirri which means there will be a lot more infect. The fact that the mirri crusader is pro black and green the two infect colorsmeans it alone can ruin entire deck stats the phyrexian strider can't say that
As for the striders I can go either way if I'm low on life I would want the peace high on it give me the pierce. Which one is better depends on the deck It might be a good idea to run both of them

Turbine- my avatar is a detail of the painting "raft of the medusa" painted by my namesake theadore gericault in 1826. It is a visual of the finding of the surivors of the medusa after being lost at sea for 10 days

Carnifex Demon gives you removal, also works in the proliferation vein. Consume the Meek, Consuming Vapors, Gatekeeper of Malakir Kicked. There are ways to deal with the White Crusader.
I personally like the Black Crusader, he's out of the range of white and red removal. Also the first strike infect gives him great flexibility as a blocker.

Two of your suggestions will destroy the black crusader as well, and actually with the white pumps they will have a problem with the white crusader, knight exampler will make the white crusader a 3/3 indestrutable making carnifex, the meek , and red removal worthless, as for the other two you can't guarntee they will kill the crusader, especially againest a white deck with so many lower costing creatures.

Also there are ways to deal with the black crusader as well, doj and dispense justice come to mind. though they have the same problems as above

But the site I got these off of are kinda hit and miss. The predicted lots of cards and most of them were right but these aren't set in stone. Also to Gericault, I think I know what you are talking about with your avatar. That one raft where they found 12 survivors but there were 13 stranded on a boat? I saw a one act play about that if Im right

I have just checked the validity of these cards and from whatI have found I believe that these cards will be printed in Besieged

Glissa, the Traitor (Pre-Order: Ships Feb 4)

Looks like we know Glissa is back though wasn't expecting it like that corrupted by the mirari maybe...

Also has anyone seen this page yet

http://www.wizards.com/magic/Magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/arcana/602

Same pic is on it, as well as some others I like the one of tezz surronded

So what about this new battle cry ability, sort of like a better version of exalted. Also its looking more like a knight deck is in my future
