That they've waited until the end makes me hopeful it's for hype. But the cynical part of me says they'll just quietly reveal them in the full spoiler.

This.... actually would make sense?
This seems like this could be good somewhere?
Yeah. Burn.
Yeah, definitely. The uncommon Lord that is also totally playable just for the body is going to make it one heck of a deck.

Eh, we still don't have stuff like Evolving Wilds spoiled yet, and i'm guessing there is a U land that helps the artifact deck they seem to be pushing for Limited. There probably isn't a cycle of rare lands, that "half" of this set is probably the KTK fetchlands.
Having half painlands and half cycling painlands in the same set assaults every design sensibility in my body.

Considering the pretty tame value (outside of planeswalkers) in the set something big would be nice.
EDIT: No rare zombie to push zombies. I am disappoint. AFK while I set fire to my cards.

This is probably uber good in Loam lists and U/R delver wannabe lists. I think it will see play in Legacy and Modern (is LftL banned in modern? don't remember)
RDW might also want this. Play 24 lands +4 of this for the smoothest draws, maybe add a confidant Kreygasm

Why does lava cause you to draw cards

Purphoros uses lava to forge new things.

Yeah, but why does Commune with Lava cause you to draw cards
its apparently something specific about magma

Lava flows often result in more fertile growth in that soil later.

I'm gonna have to appeal that answer to a higher level flavor judge
Nameless art. Perhaps one of our lands?
If that is a Dual Land, it's a R/W one (and Battlefield Forge is already in the set).
It looks like Akros- might be a legendary land
Nameless art. Perhaps one of our lands?
It's old Theros art, Akros. At the time they were spoiled, i speculated each city would be a legendary dual land, but then everyone know what happened.

dumb with fetchlands.
It's listed as "card art" though. So it might be time that we do get it on a card.
dumb with fetchlands.
So it's landfall without calling it landfall?

Black gains knowledge by trading its own life. Green gains knowledge by harvesting nature. Blue gains knowledge by research. Red gains knowledge by destroying the land for resources and revelations.
White gains knowledge via trade concessions and recruiting squires

That card is kind of awesome.
You get 2 bears per fetch and there's a ridiculous Nissa Explosion ramp card in this set. I don't know that it's gonna really be a thing, but I bet someone will try.
Landfall isn't a keyword, its just an ability word.

My reaction when Origins spoilers started
My reaction when later cards were spoiled and I realized how many toys I'd be getting for my only deck

This card is really sweet. Could be played in a bunch of different decks.
Akros
Legendary Land - Mountain Plain
Not a cycle, just this one. Hyper mythic. Next year, they'll print :
Urborg
Legendary Land - Mountain Swamp
Then the year after that
Llanowar
Legendary Land - Plain Forest
And then the catch is that new legendary island duals never get printed.

Urborg is already a Legendary Land.
Why haste? So random.

I'm thinking of it as a kind of defense breaker in limited. It comes in, pops a creature, swings in as part of the following attack.
Probably didn't want to lower the cost, instead they slapped on Haste. Also there's at least some synergy in that the card comes into play and damages (or removes a creature), allowing it to deal damage or at least make the choice to block more difficult for the opponent. Would've seemed a bit awkward without Haste actually.
I really feel like they are trying to push g/w into some form of control deck for this set. I'm half tempted to try it. The biggest problem is no spot removal.
Anyone wanna try helping with the brew lol
Tragic Arrogance
Nissas revelation
The great Aurora as a 1 of
Mastery of the unseen
Dragonlord Dromoka
Elspeth Suns Champion
Gaes Revenge
Den protector
Deathmist raptor
Courser of Kruphix
Nissa
The idea is to get a ton of permanents out with Deathmist, Den protector and Mastery to keep you alive to the late Game where you play cards like Elspeth to get a ton of tokens and Mastery activations then play the great Aurora and beat them with card /land advantage. Since you are the deck built to have more lands and creatures that enter the battlefield that draw you lands. This is all theory of course but it sounds incredibly fun.
Also I know I'd you have a ton of tokens and Elspeth that you're probably winning that game anyway =)
All possible cards
I really like the synergy between Deathmist raptor and Evolutionary Leap as well

I like that they've given Red two ways to throw away those pesky extra lands. You can either turn them into a Shock or a Tormenting Voice.
As someone who normally complains about Red not having enough in its color pie, what the fuck is this doing in Red? Red should not be making flying weenies at a cheap price at common. Artifacts fine, fliers no.
This card is pretty awesome.This seems like this could be good somewhere?
I mean, apart from gameplay reasons, she's a human wizard, basically. With haste. I don't think I've ever seen a hasty wizard before. There's Vulshok Sorcerer, but she's a shaman and her art at least looks hasty.
And there goes my yearly rant about how wizards doesn't know how to design u/r cards. It's a tradition at this point.

Should be a 3/2.
The land pic from earlier- what was the source? (And could someone repost it via twitter image or something, I'm curious.)
It's in the Gideon Jura origin story.
R/U has some great tempo cards in this set.
Claustrophobia
Disperse
Send to Sleep
Fiery Impulse
Lightning Javelin
Magmatic Insight
Clash of Wills
Fiery Conclusion
Hydrolash
Ravaging Blaze
And this is just the commons and uncommons. Lots of solid removals and cheap draw spells. I haven't seen much removals at all from the other colors.
Going R/U, you most likely will have some artifacts in play, making Artificer's Epiphany an instant Divination. That's damn good.
By the same token (pun intended), Reclusive
Artificer might as well be a removal.
Separatist Voidmage bounces so why not.
So far the archtypes are U/R Thropters and B/G Elves. What are they doing with white?
