attack for 7 turn 3 sounds reasonable.

Yep. (In the block, anyway.) So far we have three of the slots definitely spoken for: Jace in SOI, Liliana in EDM, and Arlinn Kord in one or the other. Given what we've seen so far it would be very, very surprising if another one isn't Nahiri, so that leaves one slot for either Sorin (if he shows up) or Tibalt/???.
Reference a song I like? Ok. Probably won't get picked but:
Magic: the Gathering - Shadows over Innistrad |OT| Under a killing moon
If it wasn't clear already Nahiri is not messing around:
Also, wtf did Sorin do that she's this mad? Holy shit.
Double post sorry not sorry
Jace - Blue
Liliana - Black
Arlinn - Green / ?
Nahiri - White / Red?
All the colors seem to be covered, so the last slot could be anyone. Sorin makes the most sense, but not getting another Tibalt would be a bummer.

Flavor text missed a chance to talk about ultra-violence

Incorrigible Youths looks good, and I like the understated name and flavor text. Geralf's Masterpiece is an interesting design. I would say graveyard returning in blue is odd, but we already had Skaab Ruinator, which this appears to be a reference to.Spoiler season boys

I hope we get clean art for this before spoiler season. I'd like to use it in the OT OP. Also, I guess Sorin is on Innistrad after all.If it wasn't clear already Nahiri is not messing around:
This seems quite good, and having both returning to hand and graveyard recursion on death is interesting. Plus, direct reference to Endless Ranks of the Dead, even with the same artist, though I like the old enchantment art more.
EDIT: By the way, Incorrigible Youths was spoiled at GP Bologna.

GerryT article shitting all over mox diamond in Legacy Eldrazi, as i foretelled. The card is just bad in a deck of all sol lands that want all the land drops it can. Spirit guides are just better moxens in that deck, or even just go more lands, but you lose a bit of anti-daze tech and ability to lay down an artifact T1.
In general sadly the deck is easily adapted to and i'm already losing 90% of my games online with people going for lands or delver lists with pyromancers, anglers and abrupt decays. I'll be happy if it manage to be a playable deck in the end and move out the metagame from decks with 34-1 drops in it (hello RUG delver kappa).

Didn't notice this until it was pointed out.
It's Griselbrand.

I really wish the BB Zombie was a legend, otherwise its a sweet design

Turn 2 Flip Vampire, Turn 3 discard and cast Incorrigible Youths seems like a damn good pair of plays
I'm hopeful I'll be able to dust off the stack of Risen Executioner I've been sitting on.
Wont stop people from claiming we dont have enough info lol

Hmm... looks like Cynthia Sheppard art.

Yeah that's pretty definitive

I'm guessing the new Emrakul is going to have a pointier head then.
Remember when the new slivers looked like phyrexians?

Relentless dead is really good, modern playable good. Will modern zombies be possible I wonder?
Kinda wondering if she's mono-G. They've lost their gruff and rough mono-green person with Garruk going BG, so maybe she fills that slot?
I don't think it is, 2/2 for 2 isn't good enough, even with the insane value attrition rate/.

I suspect that Arlinn's human side will be green/white, if only because there isn't a planeswalker specifically for that color combination and Nahiri will almost certainly be red/white now. The werewolf side could be monogreen, though.
Ajani will probably be GW for the foreseeable future now that Gideon is the new mono-white poster child.

Too bad they've already used "Murder".

Locked Room Mystery - B

Target player sacrifices a creature, then investigates.
Homicide edit: already mentioned.

No, because I never thought the new slivers looked like Phyrexians. I think you mean "remember when the green Eldrazi looked like Slivers?"
And, worse, Murder Investigation. "Homicide" is still free though.
It's an aggressive card that encourages you to be leaving a whole mess of Mana untapped each turn. I don't think it's playable

Murder Investigation did go on a deserving card happily

Actually, yeah, let's go with Homicide for the black kill spell, and use my name for this:
Locked Room Mystery - W
Enchantment
Whenever you sacrifice a Clue, put a charge counter on Locked Room Mystery.
Remove two charge counters, sacrifice Locked Room Mystery: Exile target creature.

Dude, so stoked to be (maybe) able to play standard zombies again. Y'all can durdle your clues all you want, I'm going to feast on some brains. BRAAAAAAIIIIIIIIINSSSS
2015 was not a great year for Magic in terms of stuff I gave a crap about, but if they stick Eternal Masters and don't fuck up Innistrad, I may spent roughly...oh...I dunno...a gajillion dollars this year on Hasbro. MaRo may be able to afford like, 3 more plaid shirts.

Today's attempt to qualify:
A little harder to build today, mostly because there were so many cards I wanted. Had to streamline it for mana issues, but you can see along the top all the good cards I wanted. That said, playing Silent Skimmer over Sky Scourer could have been a mistake. Not being able to trigger my Skulker is a big deal.

Some did look like Eldrazi, you are correct. Also, some of them looked Phyrexian.
Steelform Sliver & Groundshaker Sliver:
Sliver Construct & Striking Sliver:
Thorncaster Sliver & Sliver Token:
Sentinel Sliver:
And you highlighting the eldrazi connection further justifies my point. Some looked like eldrazi and nothing was made of that, so there ya go. Similar art styles don't always point toward clues. Here they might, but we've been excited about things like this before, is all I'm saying.
