  2. Finally some more new cards!
    I like the white 2/2, I think his ability is quite relevant, to fight cards like beastmaster’s ascension, oblivion ring, journey to nowhere, etc.
    I don’t know if the 2/2 goblin is any good at all though, he seems like he would be too hard to use effectively most of the time, since you often wont have enough burn plus other pressure to remove a blocker and burn the opponent (and only get 2 extra damage from that card) in one turn. maybe a pinger like cunning sparkmage would make a good partner for it.

  3. Some good cards, I like the white 2/2 + removal for 1W, seems like a lot for such a small cost. And I agree with Aznsilly that the red 1 drop seems a bit hard to use effectively unless something like a sparkmage is down, or the opponents board is clear and you hit them with a bolt or something, seems a bit situational. And will have to see what other Merfolk are in the set before judging the Scroll Thief.
    I hope one of these short articles comes out every time new cards are previewed! Enjoyable

  4. The new fixed Timetwister looks like a lot of fun as well (Time Warp is probably leaving then). I’m excited for M11.

  5. I looked up some M11 cards and found out Mana Leak is going to be reprinted i’m so happy since blue needed a awesome counter-magic type in the standard format. Let’s face it Cancel is to costlyand Deprive slows your mana base down.

  6. I am personally excited for Mana Leak! Every time a playable card is reprinted for Standard that has a white border on MTGO, I make a devilish grin.

    On another spoiler note, I want to see the Titan chain!

  9. The new time twister seems like a lot of fun with runeflare trap, and is the first decent combo that comes to mind in standard with it.
    I really want sun titan to be good, because his ability is pretty nuts, but seems like a removal magnet
