I think one of the best ones so far is {Signal the Clans}. The ability for midrange to tutor a creature for 2 mana at instant speed is very good. Say you get a thrag, a thundermaw, and a resto angel. You really can't complain no matter what you get. Every creature card in naya/jund midrange is value city!

Besides the charms and dual lands, I am not impressed with this set AT ALL. Return to Ravnica just seems so much cooler. {Obzedat, Ghost Council} and {Skullcrack} are the only other winners it seems.

Not a fan of ghost council, it's a 5/5 that can't block, it gets hit by your board wipes, and in multiplayer 2 damage/life gain is just enough to start upsetting people and making you a target.

Exiling at EOT is optional, though. You can still have him block.
I didn't a see may, it's a little better bit not much.

Read the card closer (it says may exile) and start playing {alchemist refuge}, {leyline of anticipation}, or {Vedalken Orrery} if you really want to use wrath in tandem with the ghost council.

I completely disagree that the ghost council is one of the better cards  {Aurelia, the Warleader} is way better

Haha ghost council can be good in certain decks just gotta find the right one for it.
Auriuela or however you spell her name is really insane in aggro.

P.s where the hell is wizards coming up with the card names in this set, some of the more creative ones i have seen lol..

Considering every creature you ever play will be hit by your own boardwipes, I would not see counting this against him. I know you didn't read the "may" part, that's fine...I didn't until like today also. But I don't think you get enough credit to this dude!

When he is out, he becomes a clock, plus a lifegain source for you. Your opponent will do everything they can to remove him fast. It will probably take 2 spells or one of their best spells to remove him. But when they do, just cloudshift or resto angel. You just gained value big time, and he's still swingung away.

Gruul Charm spoiled! One of the best charms yet IMO.

Creatures without flying can't block this turn
Or gain control of all permanents you own (haha as if {Tyrant Hellkite} wasn't bad enough!!!!)
Or {Slagstorm} all fliers.

{Boros Charm} is the best I think.

Lol sorry not to be clear enough...let me rephrase ;)
{Gruul Charm} spoiled!!! Probably an auto 4-of in every deck, likely to be banned in eternal formats. This card is just bonkers amazing.
---
With this charm you can...make your guys unblockable. Ok sure. Oh btw fliers can still block!
You can also kill fliers that {Lingering Souls} puts out. But not any other flying creatures like resto angel. Or any fliers that matter!

...here is the big one. FINALLY AN ANSWER TO CONJURRED CURRENCY DECKS!!! Gain control of all permanents you own!! YEAH BABY! Best charm eva.

I hate to say it but dimir will be awesome with grixis for things like {Hypersonic dragon}, {Goblin electromancer} and {Teleportal}.
And if it was so that you cast the copies off cipher then {Guttersnipe} would be usefull too.
