Doesn't it only prevent damage from one soldier token?

yes, also is a bombo against Valakut, etc
It's another card that doesn't really feel rare even if the card will win games in limited.

I think he's talking about the Charm guys.

Yeah, it's another shit rare.

My favorite limited bomb from the last few sets was still Harness by Force. So much fun to take a board state stacked against you and just win out of nowhere.

Even though I was already planning on going RUG, that charm cements it. It'll replace my 2 Setessan Tactics.

Full cycle of functional refuge reprints:
and BOOM
The uncommon is easily the best card. I would have liked it at Rare.

Murderous Cut is busted. Instant speed removal that gets better as the game goes. Just stupid good.
Pearl Lake is a really cool piece of art wasted on a boring bulk Mythic
Glad to see we are getting all 10 at common. For the sake of complexity, they are easier to use than guildgates when building decks/teaching new players (lacking the Gate type), and it's always nice to have another enemy colored dual land for 2 color EDH decks. And while I don't really play the format anymore (since selling out of MTGO), these are probably really good for Pauper as well

They're mostly just there for keeping mana good in limited. You'd probably stick to scrylands if you are cool with ETBT lands.
I was talking from a Pauper/ new player (as little complexity as possible) type thing. They will make as much impact on standard as the Guildgates, which is to say that some 2 color decks will want some number of them to be dual lands 9-12.
God, I wish I didn't hate the post-Urza's basic land treatment of a giant symbol, because those lands look spectacular.
Also, as mentioned in that piece, there is at least 1 piece of art for each of the clans among the basics- so you can customize a draft deck with the "proper" choices if you want.
I really wish they'd just full art basics forever.
Not even! Just go back to this
I find it amazing that in this era of reminder text and NWO, they still don't actually print on basic lands what the cards actually do

They don't need to do that since they can just print money with fetchlands.

So... Ashcloud Phoenix or Flame-Wreathed Phoenix?
They both cost 2RR, one of them has conditional haste and ping immunity, the other is easier to reuse.

But they print stuff like Elvish Mystic in the base set at common, using the term mana pool. It's just a strange inconsistencyto me.

I would throw a party if we went back to full art lands. PARTY.

It's probably happening when we go back to Zendikar next fall. If I'm right, this is probably a good time to unload your full-art original Zendikar basics

Having that concise text on lands makes them seem so grand and ominous. New lands just having the mana symbol is tasteless. The aesthetic of MTG has changed a lot, and not entirely for the better.
Edit: some of the art there is beautiful.

Slamming this into my cube. This card is sweet.
The bevelled 3D effect on the mana symbols is eye-gougingly lame.

Adamant Negation, U

Counter target non-creature spell unless its controller pays 1.
Ferocious - Counter it instead.

A "non-creature" away from being awesome
They obviously have to use it somewhere, but if you're trying to limit the "panic from weird terms" factor in someone's first game of Magic it makes sense to have it on one card in a single color than on cards that everyone will see in every game. Someone playing a red deck might have to learn what a direct damage spell does and how firebreathing works, but they can save the green section of the lessons which would include Elvish Mystic and Giatn Growth for a later game.
Also, the text isn't useful basically ever, and I think the mana symbol looks nice.

Hey now!
The problem with this card is that Reaper of the Wilds exists.
This card shines against the Red deck. The lifegain is huge, and the 5 toughness means they need at minimum 2 burn spells to kill it
Goblin Rabblemaster, bro!
Temur Chord is definitely going to be a thing.
Fated Conflagration!

If the format is as slow as I'm imagining, I think Caryatid and Rattleclaw are going to be the choice mana dorks.

Rattleclaw replaces burning emissary as far as burst, since when morphed it offers an instant 6 mana.
There's also Generator Servant.
I still think people will play Elvish Mystic since t2 Courser is pretty huge.
Yeah it's OK in some decks, probably the more Planeswalker focused ones. But I'd rather play some creature tempo / beats as that is more fun for me, and thats where I can see running into mana issues
It's more midrange. Temur Ascendancy, Savage Knuckleblade and Temur Charm all require 3 colours so I don't think it's even worth trying to cast them on turn 2. Knuckleblade is good as a 4 drop anyway
I think it's kind of a flavour fail it's non-situational removal that can kill black creatures. Same with Hero's Downfall and Silence the Believers.

I dunno, can't kill black creatures never made sense to me from a flavor perspective anyway.
Yah, black's flavor of creatures don't really seem the type to be loyal to their own. Conniving back-stabbing demons and stuff.
