Loveeeee {Stealer of Secrets} at common. Functional at a higher rarity, amazing at common. Card advantage and a splashible body at 2/2? Sign me up.

Edit: I've always had problems with creatures like this in limited, always seem cooler then they are (see: {Scroll Thief}) because you actually have to deal damage. Better body and isn't a fail in the vanilla test. I wouldn't mind curving into this at 3.
Personally I like the wizard. In a control to protect it. It could end up like {consecrated sphinx} still weaker but a good replacement.


{Mercurial Chemister} is a bit small for my tastes. I dont like to tap for its abilities. Could see some fringe play as part of a curve. It's almost as beneficial as many other cards. B-

Yes but it can also double as a kill spell.

Totally. Not a bad card whatsoever, I picture it as a {Deadeye Navigator}, costly to get going, but once it's set it become a problem/threat.

The only problem I'm having with RtR is all the burn cards only hit creatures except for guttersnipe except for guttersnipe(meh) and Niv(good cuz of its ability)

Lest we forget {Rakdos's Return}.
Lol I forgot mention burn cards for Izzet
I hope there's a XUUR sorcery for Izzet
Draw X cards, Deal X damage to target player

It looks like Izzet is gonna only burn creatures and rakdos might burn the player only; but we still have 120 left unspoiled so let's wait and see.

Thank you.

Thank you for doing this, I was starting to get very lost in this mess of 65 pages lol

Also, is Trostani the Selensia guild leader? And if so, that means Rakdos is the only leader left to be spoiled, yes?

BlackJester

Glad to help.  All I have are the official ones for now.  Chris was all the links to the unofficial ones.  I'll try to toss those up, but I'd need to rummage through and sort out what's missing from the official one.

This'll all be moot until the end of the month anyway.   ::)
