I agree whole heartedly, I'm just stating a trend. He is not in my top 5 best white creatures but surely in the top 10, which is more than competitive enough. As you can see from my updated cube list its not even remotely the only flier in white, or the worst. It just always seems to be one of those cards that is on the edge of their 23-24 cards for most players. Stonecloacker makes it in more often, and that might also be surprising to some, although I can attest to how much of a blow out it can be when timed correctly.
I guess I can't figure out how it always seems to be on the sidelines in our drafts more often then I would expect.
It just happens. I cannot tell you how much my head wants to explode when I asked people..
Sol Ring was that a first pick from any pack?
"No, it was like my 4th card on XX pack"
Then I procede to ask until someone tells me who had it P1 P1 or whatever LOL
With the new spoiled MBS card Mirran Crusader (1WW: Pro Black/Pro Green Doublestrike) will you guys be keeping Paladin en-Vec in your cubes?
I don't know if we really have enough debate material to make a single card discussion on this, but whatever
I won't be cutting paladin en vec for this guy, I'll probably find another cut for sure.
It will probably be white knight for sure, even though I don't like cutting lower CC cards, but white has so many 2 drops a better curve is probably better.

There's no need to remove Paladin en-Vec. White is already short on 3-drops in the cube. This new guy should go in for a 2-drop or a 4-drop... the two most crowded spots in white.
When I see Healing Salve, I'm often like "Oh girl, I wish I could turn every card into this." Thanks they removed the gain life part, otherwise this would have been broken.
Screw known info, do we have any wild speculation on this?
i think it will be like this:
tezzeret the awesome - UB
+1: you get an emblem with "you may cast cards in your hand as if they were copies of mana drain."
+1: you get an emblem with "you may cast cards in your hand as if they were copies of recurring nightmare."
-7: you gain control of all creatures and your opponents lose life equal to the power of each creature you gain control of this way.

It looks like Karn is locked into the Weatherlight's Planeswalking Engine or something such as that. At least that is what I would wager if I had to take a guess. Of course I don't really know anything about that era of the storyline so I don't actually know what the weatherlight's planeswalking engine looked like. That said, it also looks like his chest cavity is flayed open... and light is emitting from it. Wonder if that is his spark or something?
All I can say, is if that is Karn's card for the set, then it better be awesome. I also need to echo the sentiment that this does not look like 'walker art in the sense that it is not full card art.
Also, on the note of the cards that are spoiled, I am heavily looking forward to both cards. Though I Think I will probably only be including the Mirran Crusader in my cube at the moment, unless something is printed in the set to change my mind on that matter (something on the scale of making infect a cubable strategy).
My first thought was "f*** me, Wizards has some talented artists on the payroll."
I wonder if we'll get two Karns. The art looks like phyrexia is trying to absorb him. I think we'll get both Mirrodin Pure and New Phyrexia: the first where Karn has escaped and rebuilds Mirrodin; the second where he becomes corrupted by Phyrexia. This means there will be two Karn planeswalkers in set 3

Those faceless Phyrexian's are incredibly awesome.
All the art was great, but those things give me the willies.
And yeah, white crusader is probably the best 3-mana white creature ever. Will become a cube staple. Black crusader is OK but not worth running unless you decide to push infect in your cube. I will probably run it in my Skithiryx EDH deck, though.

I think i'm going to try the black guy anyway. I probably won't go out of my way to get one, but If I end up with one I feel obligated to try it. him being black and having pro red and white is way ridiculous. He'll probably get taken out, but there's a chance he could be worth it.

that art is all really good. i hope that troll and that jumping goblin turn out to be good, because they are adorable.
How great would it be if that goblin is a hasty 1- or 2-drop for red? I'd really like to get another awesome red aggro creature sometime soon. Goblin Guide needs a new friend!
I just looked at the artworks again and I'm really in awe of that piece that looks like the page of a book showing the functioning of the robot arm. Notice the subject is wearing what looks to be a Skullclamp.
it looks like the buy a box promotional card is our favorite from the set so far... Mirran Crusader. So, everyone start pre-ordering boxes
I am not sure if I will be pre-ordering a box or not, depends on situations here. But I fully intend to get that Promo if I can find it on ebay or somewhere like that

The black one is somewhat defensive though, but seems very good in the aggro mirror.

That is crap.
Maybe for a cost of :symbu:, but anymore would make it unplayable.
I have high hopes for Tezz, he was one of my favorite walkers but in his mono blue form he didn't off a lot of goodness for my cube.
