Ugin just woke up, not like he knows about the endangered wildlife or abuse of power among the dragonlords yet.
The Nahiri thing on the other hand, Ugin sure does have nothing but contempt for Sorin, lol. And it would seem the three didn't exactly part on peaceful terms.
I won a pre-release today with an Azorius deck and would like to make my contribution to the limited cards list :
Disclaimer: This list is extremely Azorius biased, as these are the only cards I got to see in action. As I won every game I played, I barely got to see the impact of enemy players' cards and only mentioned ones that were noticable and made me fall behind.
1. Anticipate (This just wins the game if you cast it at the end of your opponents turn 2)
2. Any of the dragonlords. (They're all absolute bombs and rank up well. From playing 2 Ojutais today I can assure you even with very low toughness they're a HUGE threat)
3. Pacifism (Insane with the amount of big creatures [read : dragons] in the format)
4. Negate (Too many combat tricks in the format)
5. The uncommon enemy-hate cycle (Sideboarding 2 of a single hate-card in vs the color combination it hates out is instant game)
6. Great Teacher's Decree (Imagine trumpet blast except its not ***** and wins the game. With only 2 creatues this thing adds 8 dmg's worth of threat to the board, with W/U flyiers or W/R aggro, this is game.)
7. Misthoof Kirin (By far the best common creature in the limited enviroment, it enables white aggro and U/W fliers on its very on.)
8. Youthful Scholar ( I'm sorry, this feels like an uncommon Sphinx's Revelation. Think about it, even if it just chumps the turn you cast it, what did you do? You gained 2 [or more] life, and drew 2 cards for 1 card and 4 mana. To get the same result with a Sphinx's you'd need to pay 5 mana in 2 colors! If it trades, you get a 3 for 1. )
Here ends my contribution as I didn't get to play with or against any other cards that were noticable.
I would like to see a block about the plane working together against a common foe. Maybe that's too boring though. I just miss pre-mending epic epics.
If anything, I'm sure BFZ will be less about infighting.
They will have plenty of counters for it at 4 mana. Or for the rebounded spell, if they happen to like what gets dragged out. Hm that could be for self-use as well.. Still, it's wonky.
I'm hoping the art overall for Battle for Zendikar will be more traditional. The original Zendikar had really beautiful art. And while I'm actually a big fan of the art for Tarkir block, it seems like there's just a lot of digital effects tacked onto the majority of the art for DTK. Lots of glowing energy and solar flares, and a cutscene-like quality to a lot of the art.

Guess it makes sense, being from Theros and all. Heroic..
Er, how are you getting 2 life from Youthful Scholar?
Whisk Away.
