There's a lot of good stuff. Sure, a lot of crap too, but hey, that's like every single set ever printed in the history of Magic, really.

Did you even look at the spoiler because from your comments you seem to be talking about a set that is not M13 and you missed plenty of cards that are sweepers, constructed playables. And to call a set an epic fail before it is even released is just setting yourself up to look dumb. I'm not saying it is impossible it is bad or good but to rush to judgment without apparently even looking at the spoiler very closley is going to get people to not take you seriously in future posts.

The planeswalkers are underwhelming as is the entire set. My top 5 list would be something like:
5
4
3
2

Apparently you didn't read Ajani, Caller of the Pride and Nicol Bolas, or notice Rancor, Thragtusk, Thundermaw Hellkite, and whatever else I'm forgetting about.

IMO, none of those are T2 playable w/ the exception of Thragtusk as a sb obstinate baloth type card.

I, for one, will be chasing a foil set on MTGO to redeem for all of the (in my opinion) most excellent cards for EDH and am quite happy with it overall. A LOT of great cards for EDH from what I can see, especially Rummaging Goblin, Krenko, Yeva, Lilliana and Switcheroo.

Seems like once the Titans and Wurmcoil cycle out, a lot of cards will become a lot more relevant.

Set looks fine. If the cards are not powerful enough for you, stop whining and go play vintage.__________________

I feel like Thundermaw Hellkite will play the role that Rorix Bladewing did in Standard. Then again Urabrask saw no play despite being the same cost. __________________

Urabrask saw no play because for one extra mana you could get repeatable arc lightnings and +2/+2. Just another of the cards that never had a chance against the titans.

Ive checked the list 3x. Understanding why this looks like a core set i might like. no birds of paradise. but on other hand...no day of judgment. __________________

I'm fine with DoJ being replaced by planar cleansing and Mutilate. I'm also really liking the fact that sweepers in general are getting a bit more constricted, i.e. rolling temblor instead of pyroclasm or whipflare, mutilate and planar cleansing instead of DoJ, etc. The reasoning is that if midrange decks want to have a chance in the meta, they need to not fear losing 2+ turns because of a sweeper. Traditional aggro is fast enough that they can either eat the card disadvantage in exchange for the tempo, or they carry enough reach to "get there" after a sweeper hits the board.

I'm really liking white in this set, there is a lot of strong control cards in there with Pacifism and O-Ring and Angelic Benediction to get everyone through. Their creatures curve nicely, as well with attended knight looking extra strong and other small guys to start with such as Warpriest of Thune, Silvercoat Lion and Knight of Glory. You have 1 small flyer with the Squire but also have Serra Angel, Avenger, Sublime Archangel and Avatar to "hope" for I suppose. For me, I'd like to pair it up with black (I like control more than aggro). I don't need to name all the fatties there, but there's certainly removal to work with in the form of murder, despite it's casting cost. Cower in Fear might be a bit underwhelming but Public Execution, expensive as it is, could be pretty dominating. However, red might be better along with white with trumpet blast and then considering whites glorious charge for big aggro plays. Mogg Flunkies works well with this along with small aggro dudes such as Torch Fiend and Goblin Arsonist. I like the Goblin Jester, as well. This isn't even mentioning that red also has some nice removal, as well. Hmm... maybe it's red white for me but then I can't run control. We'll see. I don't like blue for limited in this set much, personally. Green certainly has it's strengths but I'm hoping I can avoid getting into that color simply because it's green.

there are only three things in life which are certain: Death, taxes, and people bitching about how the current Magic Set is insultingly underpowered.__________________

Not to mention when anything changes. Anything at all about the game, the rules, the card face, the backs of cards, how they package the cards, the number of cards in a pack, the color of the display box, or the tournament structure will cause people to be like "OMG I QUIT".

You did not just say Rancor is unplayable in T2. __________________
