The new psudeo hybrid ability is <snip>, i do not care what anyone says, i hated when magic intrdoced hybrid to us as it made the cards lie to you and it makes it hard to stragagize for any situation. i can see a broken card coming out that cost just phyrexian symbol(s) and it <snip> powerful, i already see the extract, i think there is far worse to come. i hate this fact because i think i am the only player who likes infect in draft and in standard and in any inviroment, infact i hope we do NOT get any way to remove the counters from the player. We need an infect planeswalker, that would be cool, i might come back for that but this new mana/life cost that makes cards everycolor is kinda worse then hybrid. why do they keep doing this every other set? shards of alara had hybrid and cascade which were bad abilites and now the third set introduces, hybrid 2.0 which is totally warped. i iwll miss standard for a while and i hope to come back to a decnt time period of playing, i think it sucks as this block was looking to be best block ever and now it is almost worst then Kamagawa block, (i can't even spell it right, that how bad the block was) the hex parasite guy is the best card debued so far and he should make a huge impact on the standard enviroment as its going to be infect infect infect and jace tms rulling the battlefeild all day. white will have chance thx to the new knight, but i do not think its enough unless the sword is uber-good.

It wasn't that bad (compared to lets say... Masques) but it wasn't a very fun set to play in standard. Drafting it was ok; (yay. I got Jitte, I play Jitte, I win the match.)

Personaly, I hated drafting Prophecy and I hated Worldwake.

for that matter why quit? if you dont like the current standand just play a differnt format or maybe even try to play around needing the expensive stuff if thats the problem.

i enjoy building rouge decks and taking them to FNM. sure they dont always work but the look on people's faces when you win a game/match playing quest for ula's temple is priceless.

The problem with Kamigawa is that is properly balanced as a block. Players don't like balanced cards. While Kamigawa was standard it was generally used a supplemental to the other block.

As a block, Kamigawa is balanced. Aside from 1-4 cards, it was underpowered. But at the same time it was balanced. AFAIK there was no one archetype favored over another.

I'm actually kind of excited to see what comes out of the set. It looks like it will be fun, and perhaps even have interesting flavour--Phyrexia was always the most interesting aspect of the old storyline, for me.

Lastly... Phyrexian Canceller would have been soooo much better at BBB (but grossly overpowered!). At BBBB, I'm sure he'll see some play even outside Standard, but it's slightly (only slightly!) less ridiculous. That would have been one scary mofo in Legacy.

Standard has enough Titan-like creatures. Don't think we need another set of 6/6s with abilities for 6 or 5.

Looking at the bright side, if the praetors don't make any Constructed lists, at least they'll be fairly cheap to purchase for our cubes and casual scene.
