Title: RtR 2.0 - Spoilers!

First off, all images are linked from here, second, sorry again for missing Scotty's spoiler the last time around. ^^;

Alright, time for business.



It's not useless, and it's pretty much on par with Unfulfilled Desires, and by the looks of things, both of the black sets will need a draw mechanism. Not my style of play, but it's useful.



I love and fear this card. It's the perfect price for a bounce spell - and thanks to the Izzet ability, blue now also has a boardwipe spell for the set. I'm feeling a lot more confident with blue when I see stuff like this.



Good for the set, fiven the Golgari, great synergy with the last few sets, just a useful GB spell all around.

And then there's this ugly jerk.



I like how this set has decided that three mana is enough for all of the cool creatures. That ability is really fun, considering the cost. I could see a fairly solid deck based on this card, fetch cards, and a lot of direct damage.



Ooooh, nifty. A vanilla 5/5 for four mana, with the ability to upgrade one of your surviving creatures. Not bad. I wouldn't use it outside of a draft, but not bad.



Yes please.

More to come when they come - except I'm totally going to spoil Gatecrash again. :D Both Gideon Jura and Raiza, the Boros Archangel will be in, with new variations.

YES



*INSERT MANIACAL LAUGH HERE*

I feel absolutely no need to elaborate on this card. I want it, I want it, I bloody well want it and if you get it before I do, I will fight you.

...um...I mean... Look! A new angel!



Not my favorite angel (Not even in the top five, to be honest), but not bad. 5/6 flyer for seven is a little steep, not just for this set, but for white. That said, she does have a nifty exile ability that targets up to three creatures. She's not useless (any powerful angel is good in a Kaalia EDH deck) but compared to the rest of this set... meh.

Next!



I was waiting for this the second I had seen the Populate mechanic. This is going to be a required card for Selesnia decks.

And, I mean, I was always a fan of cards like Shifting Wall - for one more mana, it's basically that, minus Defender. A good card all around.

More Sphinxes!



Not bad. I like it a lot more than the Angel of Serenity, for example. It's again a 5/6 flyer, but for six mana, and it has a non-tap ability that takes care of a common problem in blue decks, by giving you even more cards. Cool beans. I'm not sure if I'd run it - but I like it.

Nice little white card coming up.



For the cost of a white knight, you get a 2/2 first strike that has the potential to give you creature tokens. Definitely worth having a set of.

Now, as for this white card,



I want to like it... but it just doesn't do it for me. Prison Term might be less flexible, but it's cheaper, and when I'm playing white, cheap is the operative word. I mean, it's a good, functional card for it's cost. I do think I can get by without it.

And last but not least - here's the regular version of the Cryptborn Horror. More as they come. ^^

A spoiler from the swishy french!



Wild Beastmaster 2G
Creature — Human Shaman (Rare)
Whenever WB attacks, each other creature you control gets +X/+X until end of turn, where X is WB’s power.
1/1

Two thoughts. One, I'm always hesitant to overpay for my creatures (and I typically avoid paying more than two for 1/1 creature + ability), but this card may well be worth it, especially with GW going with lots and lots of cheap creature tokens... provided that we can

Two - expect more than a few cheap G or GW boost spells to be revealed as this set continues to be spoiled. Otherwise, she's going to mesh more with the Golgari side of green, and frankly, she's a little out of place there.

And hey, one more. ^^; It's not that bad a card - but I love the flavor text.

So I have a problem with Wild Beastmaster. Let's say you have multiple in play. Attacking. I have this terrible feeling that their triggered ability goes off one at a time, rather than simultaneously.

This would mean having four in play would  mean the first one gets +1/+1, second +2/+2, third +4/+4, fourth +8/+8. Meaning at the very least there would be a 15/15, a 14/14, a 12/12, and a 8/8 attacking. If there are any other creatures attacking with them, each extra creature would get +15/+15.

Does anyone else see this as a problem?

From what I've seen of this set......it's one of the best overall sets that have come out in a while. I may have to invest a bit into this one.

@Boyachi combat damage all happens at once except first strike or double strike. If there were 4 beastmasters atacking each one would get +3\+3.

@krowbar-combat damage is illrelevant, as the ability triggers when the beast master is declared attacking, they get the boost even before blockers are declared.  Boyachi has it correct, each ability uses the stack and resolves seperately granting a pump based on power (which was pumped by the previous ability resolution)

@boyachi-I don't see a problem.  With cards like rancor, champion of lambolt, deaths presence i see potential

Academic, I'm surprised you don't think that Angel of Serenity is more than "meh". It's ridiculously powerful in frites, which is a very popular and powerful standard deck. The fact that it can exile cards in graveyards, and then returns them to hands is a great way for it to help reanimator decks that need more time stay above the GY hate. You have it exile one of your fattys so that even if it's gotten rid of, you can have that creature back. Or it can be used to recur your own very littler creatures (like avacyn's pilgrim) that may have gotten destroyed as you were ramping up. Or, it can be like an angel with three oblivion rings attached.

I've done a little testing with it in WBG frites, and it's very powerful, certainly a deck type that can hold its own and demolish at many a FMN.

They have all been spoiled! Let the research for the prelease begin (if it hasn't already)!
