Will goyf still be printed in a block set since it was in modern masters, the futuresight cards were from the future so is it no longer in the future?

I prefer Nylia's Bow the Nylia herself...

LAND DESTRUCTION MIGHT BECOME A THING!!!!

Probably not, but we still have it.

Alright! After seeing just these spoilers, I just preordered two boxes of Theros. So I know I at least have two {Sylvan Caryatid}s! WOOP WOOP!

No spoiler yet, but most of the places I've read hypothesise that Caryatids could be a 5 colour cycle, one in each colour. But still, no actual spoiler, yet many speculations. It is definite that it'll be a Defender considering what the actual meaning of a caryatid is (a statue/effigy pillar or column I tribute to a female god from Ancient Greece).

*GASP* reanimator will still be playable!

We have {dread return} for keeping stuff, {obzedat's aid} for the main reanimator + enchantments, and {rescue from the underworld} AT INSTANT SPEED for some pretty good reanimating.. {Mortus strider} may actually have a use. I will gladly play it if it means reanimate a fatty.

Splash some black for things like {doom blade} to kill your own {fagtusk} get a 3/3, it comes back, gain 5, repeat.
rescue from the underworld would be great with {thragtusk}

Here's hoping the White god is playable; my Fort deck could use some White devotion love XD

I don't understand why Thassa is much more than nylea.... I think nylea is a game ender but Thassa just let's you scry and make things unblockable. And blue don't have big scary creatures for that ability. I wouldn't mind playing a blue green deck in theros because both of those have pretty good synergy

Referring back to what dudecore said, blue is getting all these big creatures.  Have you ever scryed each turn before you draw, it is good.  Putting that on a 5/5 body is pretty good.  Giving that 5/5 industructability is great.  And then it has ANOTHER ability.
It isn't blue style cool I like, but I can't help but say he is amazing.  Nylia however is a 6/6 industructable for more then Thassa, and although she give your creatures trample, her other ability is bad.  Maybe with that land it becomes spammable, but it is over costed to dumb it down.  Besides, how many big creatures are you gonna have that will benefit from trample in that early game.

I love her bow because, imagine a world where you tokens get deathtouch...  Selesniya got scarier just now didn't it. :)

RG aggro is still gonna be a thing...

Naya is still going to be overpowered. Legion loyalist and the green bow equipment equals first strike deathtouch all day. Overpowered much? Akroan crusader and that other guy with vigilance first strike. Hyper Agro still going to be around
