I think Simic will be Gatecrash's Rakdos, if ya know what I mean, we'll see what Boros has to offer

EDIT: Nvm scratch that, Rakdos had a million removal spells and Hasty dudes, but still, Simic looks gewd =P

ALSO: Batallion seems to be situational to the card, it's not just a straight up Helix effect, it's a {Odric, Master Tactician} triggered ability. I.E., Batallion - When X and at least two other creatures attack, then Y.

I'm digging cipher for the time being. Wil have to wait and see what else Dimir offers. Shame we can't have a pw for each guild.

Wow. This dude is off the walls bonkers. When Wizards decided this was getting printed, how much pot were they on?



Meh. Very mediocre.

Meh. Very mediocre, and probably nearly as bad as clone, but is a repeatable legend killer.
You're forgetting the Orzhov guild leader. It and Lazav are absolutely insane!

Whoops. Kept putting up the wrong scan! 😁

I don't like Ohrzov all that much. I think I'm going with simic.

Any1 think burning tree emissary is amazing. It works nicely with restoration angel as well

If can definelty get you the mana you need if you've got 2 forests need a mountain. Can't see it getting much play, a card that fixes mana situationally that way takes up space.

I can see it in RDW...
Cast a 2/2 and a {Lightning Mauler} or {Gore House Chainwalker} on turn 2. Seems good

This card will see an amazing amount play and drive {huntmaster of the fells}'s price up. Naya will already be a strong color combo based on utility board pressure and using {rootborn defenses} against wrath and supporting with some burn and white removal. The deck's weakness will likely be card draw but if {mentor of the meek} or some other good card advantage is used or printed in this new set then the shaman will undoubtably see play.

Crapshooter

All I see is abusing  {Invisible Stalker} with Lazav and Whispering Madness!

Is everyone reading the same card? It's a 2 mana drop that gives you 2 mana. It's just a free vanilla creature. I don't see it doing much heavy lifting, it's not even ramp. I can't imagine seeing it hit constructed.

It color fixes, casts for {G} or {R}, is a 2/2 for 2 and on top of that it is part of multiple archetypes that are already strong and benefit greatly from dudes rapidly entering play.
