His ultimate seems like it would be good for Sultai, no? It's kind of confusing. Stock your graveyard with things to Delve.

Makes you filter through deck faster too! Draw three cards. Cast what you can.  Oh look I just drew 3  {Lightning Strike}...

I guess. It's easy to hit. I just am confused why someone would want to do that. You simultaneously gain card advantage and disadvantage. It makes any draw spell worse, and pretty much any other non-creature card worse. I'm not really seeing the potential here. *shrug* it will dawn on me eventually.

Still saying my Jund Reanimator deck is going to want him

Dudecore

My {Sedris the Traitor King} Grixis reanimator EDH deck might even want it.

MarduArrow

Disappointed, had high hopes for him but needless to say, he won't be getting a spot in my precious  {Kaalia of the Vast} deck

I'm calling it, sarkhan is busted. Lets look at it in an Aggro deck:
A indestructible storm breath dragon with an optional removal spell! I your an Aggro deck and your not attacking idk what your doing ;)

Control:
Removal spell that turns into a wincon...

Midrange:
More storm breath dragons...

I'm either missing something or this is busted. 

Dudecore

It's not busted. It is a card that will probably be up and down in Standard. The right deck might come along for it, then that will be bested by something else, then so on and so forth. I don't really think it's that awesome. I don't think Control would even touch this. {Gideon Jura} was better because of his {Lure} ability. Sarkhan is just another {Stormbreath Dragon}.

Typical with new Planeswalkers everyone chooses sides. It's like being a sports fan. When you're right you gloat, when you're wrong you are not accountable for your predictions. Only time will tell. I see a {Jace, Architect of Thought} trajectory. Alright in the decks he's in, no one is going to splash for it.

Are the fetches real?!

Click the link. Spoiled by MaRo himself. It really is the wisest choice. It lowers the price of enemy fetches, since you don't have thousands of players competing for off-color fetches. Gets them in the hands of EDH players and with the shocks rotating, we've got another reason to buy the crap out of this set.

Can't wait to get foily ones for my EDH deck. But I wonder if the Judge Foils are going to drop...

These should follow a similar Shocklands trajectory. $20+ pre order, plummet to $7-$15 and make everyone happy.

But...{B}{W} fetch ;~; I know we got the pain lands but whatever :/

Dmreiss

M15 had the enemy pain lands, and KTK gets buddy fetches...  Will we get enemy fetches in the second release, or will this be our mana fixing for the year?

Dudecore

The painlands don't have basic land types, so fetches are the fixing for allied colors. Still have the scry lands
