Not to derail spoiler speculation
But what's so good about squad hawks?

Even though I wasn't in standard at the time, I believe that it was ZEN/M11/Scars Standard. It originated as Draw-Go, a control deck. It then turned into Caw-Go by Brian Kibler by adding {Squadron Hawks}. Then with Scars Block, the Swords and {Batterskull} came out and basically, it became a Hawk Voltron thing. It seems pretty scary. Oh, and of course it ran {Jace, the Mind Sculptor} and {Stoneforge Mystic} just cuz.

{Squadron Hawk} ruled because he tutored for himself, could fly and carry a sword. It's still really good in Pauper, where draw-go is still possible.

It was the reason why Stoneforge and Jace were banned pre-maturely. It was not a fun deck to play against.

More spoilers. 
A clone that clones anything except for lands.
A djinn that gives your creatures lifelink if you cast a noncreature.
A card that if it morphs on your turn, gain control of target creature until the end of the turn, it gains haste.
And an {X} red spell that deals 2 extra damage if you have a creature with 4 it more power

That morph spell stealer thing. Cool, but I don't see it getting much play outside of EDH. Not saying it's bad, saying it's cool but a little too many heavy and hit and miss to see standard play.

Which is better?
{Phyrexian Metamorph} or this new clone?
Phyrexian can be played for 3 and 2 life in any color combo (outside of EDH) and this guy has double blue in his cost. However he can copy Planeswalkers and enchantments.

I like the versatility of the new guy.  Copy your opponents PW is just silly.  I already have plans for this guy.

I hate how I don't get wifi at school so have to rush to catch up when I get home.
