The sad thing is you can't rule it out. If it costs less than 3GGGG, i'm quitting Magic till the entire R&D department is replaced.
Red could get a landwalk one?
I think they're going to avoid overlap with the Theros gods (and possibly their weapons), which means the following are probably out:
Haste, Vigilance, Trample, Deathtouch, Lifelink
Which would leave:
Doublestrike (Red), Intimidate (Black, Green), Reach (Green), Regenerate (Black, Green), Hexproof (Green), Shroud (Green).
Although Ultron's mana dork idea is really neat.

Most of the cards in DKA were irrelevant until the Mirrodin block cycled out. Vapor Snag and Mana Leak kinda made most of those cards unplayable lol.
This is true.
I have a feeling that won't be the case with this set. These aren't bad because of the presence of a good counterspell and the best Unsummon ever printed. These are bad because they're bad.
fork alt? =)
Why is it an enchantment creature?
The 3cmc is already competitive with Banisher Preist, Frontline Medic, Ajani, and Spear of Heliod with Fiendslayer in the sideboard already taking up slots. Maybe a sb vs other white weenies I guess? I don't see it replacing any of the aforementioned.
This is the first time I've been accused of being an alt account that I can remember. I feel like I need to check a box on my GAF membership card haha
Rakdos is having a similar problem with the 4cmc slot.

If both players have the same archetype on the battlefield, no creature on either side can have X, correct?
Si. "Can't" trumps "can".
Doubt it lol.
What are you building that takes a set of Urborg's?

Assuming he is speaking of Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth...
I saw a neat mono black Vampire deck the other day using it with Bloodghast and fetches. Basically the Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth turns the fetch lands into swamps that tap for black mana, and you only use the fetch ability if you need to get Bloodghast back onto the battlefield.
Why is it an enchantment creature?
Because the hallmark of The Enchantment Block Urza's Block Should Have Been are creatures that are also enchantments. *cues WCW NWO theme*
To be less snide, it provides effects an enchantment would reasonably provide.
1.5 Pox, IIRC.

Herald of Torment 1BB
Enchantment Creature — Demon
Bestow 3{B}{B}
Flying
At the beginning of your upkeep, you lose 1 life.
Enchanted creature gets +3/+3 and has flying.
3/3

I would be willing to bet it got pushed to Rare out of the Uncommon slot because they ran out of room in Uncommon.
Indeed. Gonna try and take down a local legacy tourney, and that was what I could afford to build on such short notice. Hope I pilot it well!

I don't think so. It's pretty bad

So I went back to watch PT Gatecrash to remind myself about the old Standard format.
Holy crap this Standard is boring by comparison.

You know all those people who were whining about multicolor decks being bad and "too much fixing" (which was only true of one card: Farseek)? Those people were wrong.

Yeah RTR standard was awesome. So many decks. Not all devotion like now.

I bet they knew Standard was going to be boring. That's why the first Pro Tour was Standard instead of Modern; that way it would be all exciting, and we wouldn't have to watch a Standard Pro Tour again until the M15 Pro Tour.
I'm only one away from my playset too. Fucking sucks.

Are you kidding me? This guy is really good:

Also, I think it's hilarious that the Spiritbinder had to have an activation cost on his Inspired ability to prevent him from finding a home in Modern.
Are you kidding me? This guy is really good:
Just any deck that would want to play this (Boros? White beatdown?) already can choose from Frontline Medic (better in Boros), Boros Recokoner (higher upside) and Fiendslayer Paladin (Color Hosing and Lifegain).
This card will top 8 a SCG, people will go nuts, and Craig Wescoe himself never even plays it again 2 weeks later

Raised by Wolves 3GG
Enchantment - Aura [Uncommon]
Enchant Creature
When Raised by Wolves enters the battlefield put two 2/2 green Wolf creature tokens onto the battlefield.
Enchanted creature gets +1/+1 for each Wolf you control

That card is unplayable anywhere but limited (where I imagine it's quite good), but man, that is some good flavor!
This card is so bad outside of limited, but I can't wait to see the art.
Unrelated. It had to do with Legacy being not-viable as the 4th PT format. Standard opening and closing the season makes sense.

I miss Hero of Bladehold.
This is probably better, but, eh.
