Deadbridge Chant has EDH written all over it, and it's definitely combolicious. As long as the 10 cards you mill away has an Eldrazi, you can start sculpting your graveyard and do a lot of degenerating things. This card should be popular among the casual crowd, similar to Debtors' Knell.

Blood Baron of Vizkopa has a lot of raw power. Lifelink makes it decent for attrition war. Protection from White/Black blanks a lot spot removals. The +6/+6 & flying transformation is just a bonus. The downside of Blood Baron of Vizkopa is, B/W is a relatively weak color combination in standard.

I love when someone else sums up cards and knows what they're talking about. It makes my life so much easier.

I could see baron getting used in a b/r/w build as a one or 2 of. Just because of it's raw power it's askin to be played.

It seems to just say no to those blitz decks too if you can get him down in time. That's a big if, but he's the total package if you can.

Fun card. I wouldn't be upset to open it in a pack, but I don't think it's going to be a major player in standard.

Goblin shock at random seems awesome. I dont know what people are complaining about. If you're izzet you will probably have fewer creatures than they do. Put Orzhova's gift on it and it's super amazingly crispy and BRU will be a pairing that you can get guild cards from every pack.

So that Flash guy would have been good if he was a 2/1 and cost UB.

He's just bad because he costs too much to actually be a hate bear in legacy that hoses Brainstorm/Jace

I must assume you mean this guy.

If an opponent would draw a card except the first one he or she draws in each of his or her draw steps, instead that player skips that draw and you draw a card.
3/1

I think they printed him because they were worried about Sphinx's Revelation being too powerful. I think it's hilarious that they put a counter to Blood Scrivener in the same set and spoiled the two so close together.

Card is clearly aimed at hosing Sphinx's Revelation, but it's a sideboard card at best. In the same colors I'd rather board in duress than this. And in other colors, Skullcrack is a better option. Dimir gets another junk rare, imo.

Viashino Firstblade seems like it should be a very solid card in limited that might cross over into standard for a second

Catch // Release looks okay for the "catch" half; it does give the option to hose planeswalkers.

Man....unless something comes along and REALLY blows my mind, this set looks pretty bad so far. I'm usually very optimistic, but if all the mythics have been spoiled and this is what we are getting I can't imagine the rest of the rares to be any better. I know....we were fooled at first in RTR before people truly understood the power of DRS, and Reckoner was amazing in GTC. This set, however, looks like luke warm dog poop so far as far as constructed goes, and SCG is completly off their rocker on some of these prices.

Now...I myself am more of a limited guy, this set looks pretty good for limited so far, and usually when you get all 3 sets of something it's the best format of the block. So if anything I'm excited to draft/sealed this....but as far as constructed? Lame city.

So far, I think these cards are worth picking up a playset at their current price:

Progenitor Mimic @ $4-5/ea.
Deadbridge Chant @ 4/ea.
Blood Baron of Vizkopa @ $10/ea.

It is, but not all decks play sphinx's revelation. Many decks don't even draw extra cards, hence it's "meh" and not "crap". I wish this card had, "when this enters the battlefield you may gain control of target spell or ability"- something with a lot more utility.

I guess that is one of the pitfalls of being a small set. Reminds me of dka
