Mox Sapphire looks absolutely fantastic; was not expecting power in D12! But I'm curious as to why it appears to be in the vampires deck, which I would assume to be monoblack.
This card rocks with all those old "switch control" cards like gauntlets of chaos. I'm going to have wicked fun making a deck that abuses all of those mediocre cards.
Unlike Mana Crypt, this promo Goblin Welder is a four of to have. I can't wait to see the art, and maybe upgrade to the orignal foils if they drop enough in price.
I remember when I saw the DCI Grim Lavamancer and thought to myself "I wish that was a Goblin Welder"
June 17th is my birthday, and I Soooooooooo can't wait for this release, to "not shoot until I see the white's of my enemies eyes" this Bunker Hill Day, and play with brand new MTG cards.
What I'm interested about here is the intro packs, and changing the way the rares work. I can totally see them doing this because the rares from a previous set are some of the "nicer" ones, however as another person mentioned it sorta shifts the focus away from the newest set...so not too sure.
If you look at an intro pack from Mirrodin Besieged, you'll see uncommons from MBS, Scars, and M11. Guess they just felt like moving it to rares too.
Force of Will will be reprinted IMO, it is just a matter of time.
With the recent judge foil Sinkhole as any sort of indication, if not in a Standard set Force of Will will most certainly make an excellent Judge foil. While being a judge foil might not make it very much more accessible to players, it would still be a reprint - paving the way for another down the road in a F:TV like what happened with Sol Ring.
The real issue is Dual lands, and this can easily be circumvented with the printing of alternative ones (snow-covered).
Even after all this time, I still don't own any AV or NB in paper, so I'll end up picking at least one copy of this up.
I've been a big fan of the new Duel Decks, Elspeth v Tezzeret was fantastic, and I have great hopes for this series going forward....just not too sure about Knights vs Dragons.
No, it is in the Karn deck. (If you read my review of the game you would know that)
For those curious to the lists, I'm working on updating it as we speak.
EDIT 3 lists:
Tezzeret Agent of Bolas "Machinations"
Gideon Jura - "Wielding Steel"
Sarkhan Vol - "Dragon's Roar"
And there are some pretty sweet plays like first turn
Mox Sapphire into turn two Tinker for a Darksteel Colossus.

If one of the three players casts Time Warp on themself, do all three players get another turn or just that person?
First turn Sol Ring or Mana Crypt into Lightning Greaves followed by a second turn Moltensteel Dragon.

Thank you WotC!
I'm surprised that nobody else has commented on Serra Angel's inclusion. Doesn't anybody love her anymore?
Its funny how many changes this card has had to its text.
I love the way it resembles the revised printing though.
Time to bust out the Arena and Sorceress Queen.

Love the new mechanic, can't wait for this set to come out!

I was recently contacted by WOTC for an special appointment with them @ PAX East.
I'll have some live posts from the event, and full detailed coverage when I'm behind a laptop for an extended period of time.
Subscribers will be blasted an email alert as soon as all embargoes are over.
