Winds and all these cheap good evasive blue creatures work really well with the new Jace. I like it.

EDIT: that vampire art is amazing. Seb never disappoints.

HOLY FUCK OPT

I -NEVER- thought they would try a 1 mana cantrip with any sort of deck manipulation again, if only because of Modern

The fact that they found a cool reprint (that can be updated with Scry!) is amazing.

I guess this is the reprint they promised no one would expect?

Is Opt better than Serum Visions in most Modern decks?

Is Opt going to cause something to be banned from Storm?

Hmm. Interesting to see them bring back both flexible burn and a one mana cantrip in the same set. I wonder if that means they're letting Standard get a little more powerful again. What's next, a one-cmc mana dork?
 
That promo is nice, not a fan of the Urza's Saga art because all I can see is that giant hand. It draws my eye every time I look at it, it drives me nuts.

Wow, "sacrifice a permanent" is a new effect for red, right? Or at least one that wasn't really considered a primary ability for red, just something that incidentally was used to implement a rare effect. Certainly not at common.

Hasn't been used in a long time afaik

Seems a bit weaker in this Limited since treasure tokens can cushion that effect.

Holy shit, Regisaur is awesome. 7 power for five mana, gives haste to all of your dinos (including the 3 power one that just came into play), it's just big enough to dodge Abrade, Lightning Strike, and base level Harnessed Lightning, seriously, this thing is pushed.

Kinda like Thragtusk in a way, except you get both bodies at once and instead of life you get Fervor. If there are enough small to medium sized pushed dinos, this guy will be nuts. Already dreaming about curving from Ripjaw Raptor into this.

Last time I remember and one of my favourite artworks.

Regisaur Alpha is reeeeeally good. Favorable Winds and Opt reprints are sweet to see, too. I'm very excited for this set!

Strange to me that Deathmist Raptor lost the Beast designation since there's some tribal synergy there, and they kept it on the rest.

The problem with Regisaur is that it's competing with Glorybringer. For it to be better we'd need to see something better for the Dinosaur card type than what we have seen.
 
List of creatures being errata'd into dinosaurs:

This is a pretty good list. Someone had what was intended to be a comprehensive list of possibilities on Reddit yesterday; most plausible options skipped here would probably be Gnathosaur, Pygmy Pyrosaur, Lathnu Sailback, and (verrrry marginally) Pteron Ghost, but generally this seems like a pretty accurate errata list.

EDIT: It's cute that Fungusaur effectively has retroactive Enrage.

Jace spends enough time playing Robinson Crusoe on an island the writer notes he's turned from skinny Jace into Muscle Wizard Jace. That or he's got great genetics since he also doesn't have a beard.
 
Anyone knows where I can buy a Deck Case....case?

I have around 5 Decks all in boxes like this on:

Is there any case where I can keep them?

Well, Glorybringer in red. Gearhulk in stompy green.

I'd rather have Gearhulk, personally, because then I'm not reliant on tribal synergies to get the full value of the card, and I just get more beef that tramples in comparison to 3/7ths of haste, and some added options.
