I think I just rage quit Magic.
My favorite deck of this block is GW Humans, and MaRo said not long ago that Hamlet Captain is the "Captain" lord for the Human tribe for INN block.
That's some real rage inducing shit right there.
EDIT:
Some Human hate.
@___@ I WANT TO KNOW WHAT'S INSIDE YOU
Is that thing cardboard, or nice quality plastic?

I like Entreat. Ratchet Bomb sort of makes it iffy for a standard finisher (especially when we have wonderful cards like Batterskull, Gideon and Concession Sphinx), but I'm sure it will wind up being a standard player somewhere. Not better than Decree though for eternal formats, and Lingering Souls is still the best token generator ever made if you just want a bunch of bodies around.
Human Fraility is just a more narrow Deathmark for Block constructed. Defy Death is blah. Glory of Angel's rise could be hilarious in some weird human-based Dredge deck in Modern but that's fifty times more cute than good. Demonic Rising is just another bad expensive black enchantment that's flavor over function. Wake me up when they print something from the oopsie pool power level like Recurring Nightmare or Phyrexian Arena.
edit: regarding that land-if it sees wide play (dubious somewhat, as in most aggro matchups you really don't want counters anyway), then you'd see less countermagic being played overall, and then you're probably losing to heaps of removal/mass removal into gideon+concession sphinx out of a Esper or UW deck or a primeval/inferno titan gangbang from a ramp deck that is now much better positioned due to lack of countermagic in the format. The cards that best define the way an aggro deck fights blue decks remain largely unchanged with the exception of Delver flipping into mana leak freerolls but that's something everyone can agree is stupid.
The card is obviously terrific in Commander, but not too much of a big deal in other formats outside of wacky cases like Legacy 12post.

so looks like this might be "Land of Awesome" possibly officially known as "Cavern of Souls"

i would love to, best place?
As Cave of Cheer enters the battlefield name a creature type.
Add 1 to your mana
Add one mana of any color to your mana pool. Use this mana only to cast a creature spell of the chosen type that spell can not be countered.

Rough Google translate.

yeah, but it certainly fits nicely in some decks, tribals with no real activated abilities, or at least low cost ones?
I was thinking about the Zombie killing angel when I wrote that.
Exile Zombies and resurrect Humans? I'm not sure if that would work even in an EDH deck.

Yea i suppose thats true. Colorless mana is actually one of the better things about this card. And does not come in tapped.
It's cute enough for me to like it. *shrug* Not a good card though.
Also, WTF, THAT LAND WAS REAL? Huntmaster wolf-run is now the best deck in the format.
It's Christmas in July in April!

Translation please?
When [this] enters the battlefield, choose a creature type.
[T] : Add (1) to your mana pool.
[T] : Add one mana of any color to your mana pool. Spend this mana only to cast a creature of the chosen type and the creature cannot be countered.
Don't give them ideas, Jesus.
We're lucky enough to have gotten away unscathed with this thing.

Was that thing ever playable or valuable? I think I have a playset somewhere in my shitbox :b
It is playable in Tron decks in modern right now

Bwa ha ha ha ha. Fuck you, blue! Also, "loses to counter magic" is no viable as a complaint for a bomb.
Maybe I just don't have the depth of understanding of the game, but I don't see a scenario where 90% of decks aren't running a playset of these. Since it still generates colorless mana, the risk is fairly minimal.
I guess blue decks are obligated to run Ghost Quarter now?

I can't believe it keeps creatures from being countered. Wizards is trolling. I'm happy though, fuck blue.
Isn't delver a lot better also? Snapcaster and delver both can't be countered now.

I can accept that zombies are now useless considering "dies to counter" can't be used as a valid reason why something sucks

I love the shakeup. Not real happy about flavor overwhelmingly favoring anything but black this block - especially considering that black hasn't exactly been the top color this past time around, but hey.
Fuck blue control.
Fuck blue control.
What crazy meta are you playing in where decks were winning just because of counter spells, and are now screwed? Control has been under performing for ages I don't see why the game needed this

I don't think just because but it's definitely annoying to have to wait and bait incase they have one. Especially with B/U control having dissipate. It lets you run better is all.
Well evil presence is around now so I don't know if they'll reprint it for m13.

I take back what I said earlier. I just realized that stupid land means un-counterable Titans. Fuck.

Especially with soulbonding!
Flash in a guy after declare attackers and now they both have double strike. Delicious.
Having to play around counters is infinitely more interesting than a card that blanks them. Fun cards are interactive, this is the opposite.
The G/U one is really cool, although not sure it can do much in standard with current manabases
