On another note, Dead Reveler's flavor text is just ugh... Rakdos is filled with these silly puns, once or twice it was fun, but now even though they gave Rakdos the worst mechanic of the set, they also gave them the worst flavor texts!

The flavor text is starting to make me wonder if they intentionally made the mechanic bad.
The best rakdos creature so far is Rakdos Shred-Freak, and he doesn't have unleash or a "bad pun."
Maybe it is to balance the awesome RB spells they keep printing?

If combo should die before I wake I'll slide a Smokestack in every deck I play, roll in every shop wreck the Spirit of EDH.
She's really good. We're also living in times where destroy effects aren't nearly as good as exile effects, and the value of many cards is weighted on their ETB effects, but also can't argue with being able to blow up other planeswalkers, enchantments, artifacts, creatures.
I think her and Liliana of the Veil will become fast friends, though. That's a hell of a lot of control options in GB. I figure another color would probably seal the deal pretty well, probably blue or white (or both). Maybe even a piece in 5c control. Really if you can manage to make aggro/midrange lose steam, Vraska's ultimate isn't all that bad or difficult to manage. Only one needs to make it in.

Plus Garruk, Relentless, gives you planeswalkers at 3, 4 and 5 with removal abilities.
Not that we all didn't see it coming a mile away, but I'm still REALLY bummed that the 2nd PW is Golgari. I really had my heart set on a Selesnya walker.
I've seen Populate mentioned a few times in reference to Vraska's ultimate, but I'm surprised no one's brought up Scavenge. Seems obvious to me... makes her tokens a little tougher, and the ability is already in her guild.
I dont think she's classified as a Golgari card, so you cant get her in the Golgari pack.
The guild packs, as far as I've seen, just contain cards of those COLORS in the guild. So in a Golgari pack, you'll get green, black, and green/black cards, while in a Rakdos pack, you'll get red, black and red/black cards.

Yeah, BR gets all the love, what are they thinking?
They could have done much better, both in flavor and abilities, with a circus of psycho freaks, instead it's as if everyone was a goblin with Elvira quality pun-crafting.
On the other hand, Doran loves this girl, with three Garruks, two Elspeths two Ajanis, two Lilianas, two Sorins, Vraska and Gideon he sure is the PSW pimp of EDH.

Yes sir, I take fantasy art and character design commissions, PM me for rates.

They could still throw one in the next set and failing that into Sinker.
I mean its not like they are totally restricted by each set in color selection.

I'm skeptical of this, as it would mean you could get (for example) Rakdos-watermarked black cards in a Golgari pack. I think it's more likely that it will be like MBS with only watermarked cards for that guild, plus nonwatermarked cards in your colors.

I feel like she belongs in a bug deck with new jace,they seem to pair very well with one another. Also throw in lilliana of the veil for a walker at 3 4 and 5.
I believe WoTC's new policy is to make sure that every color can enjoy the exciting gameplay mechanic of making undercosted dudes and then turning them sideways. Clearly the future of magic.

In ravnica they are. look at the last ravnica block, even alara block with the "shards". I dont recall a single instance of a card being in the set where it didn't belong. This just isn't something wotc does, it goes against the design on the set.

Azorius Justiciar detains creatures, instead of non-land permanents which the other detainers did. However, that's not all downside. She can detain land creatures! So...your opponents Dryad Arbors and manlands better watch out!
"Your potential to commit a crime warrants further investigation."
Reminds me of Neo Arcadia from the first Mega Man Zero...
Dead Reveler, doesn't look like a zombie to me at all. He just looks like a dude with a messed up face, burns, scars, etc. But Wizards of the Coasts gotta be necrophiliacs and spam zombies like always...
Vraska the Unseen is an interesting Planeswalker!
Her first ability doesn't actually do anything on it's own, but it's a great deterrent, or potential countertattack.
I was thinking her -3 was like Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker's +3, but her's is "non-land", while his is "non-creature". So...it's a mini Maelstrom Pulse.
Her ultimate amuses me greatly, three 1/1 assassins that knock a player out of a game? I did NOT see that coming, and it's unique and powerful. I don't care about Phage the Untouchable, the assassins don't bump you off if summoned improperly, and they are tokens!
Ever heard of Horde Magic? Well, once the set comes out, I gotta make an Assassin Horde deck! Bwa ha ha! Armies of game ending assassin tokens! Well, proxies of tokens anyway, collecting that many "mythic rare" tokens would be a pain...unless, there is another card in the set (or block) that makes them too, which I doubt...(but would find amusing)
Anyway, after getting Damia, Sage of Stone, I wanted to get more Gorgons so she could have a bunch of Gorgons to chill with. A Gorgon Planeswalker would be a nice fit, I think. She might be in a Duel Deck someday (Vraska vs Kiora? Vraska vs Gideon?)...
That's a sexy one. I would date her and Dryad Militant, thanks God they don't communicate much.
The card seems great for control, but the green mana symbol spoils the day. Don't know how she will be put to play, definitely not in BG or Jund Zombies (pretty useless for aggro).

R Citizen Cane (Feldon of the Third Path)
Fun fact from etymological point of view: Vraska means literally "wrinkle" No idea why they chose such a name.
Let this great clan rest in peace (2001-2011)
Wouldn't make any sense. Why would you put a Selesnya planeswalker in a set that doesn't have Selesnya?
I'm guessing it was made-up from syllables that sound "Golgari-ish." It uses all the same letters as Savra plus a K, after all.
R Citizen Cane (Feldon of the Third Path)
theres only 1 "awesome" b/r spell.
Well, Nicol Bolas is basically 'Nicol Balls' in spanish
On topic: that PW really protect itself, just like Gideon does.
