I'm extremely new to MTGO...but when is Dissesion most likely to be released? And also, do you need to be an important part of the MTGO community to Beta test?
Dissension is released on May 30. To qualify for Beta you simply fill out the beta availability (plus quiz) to have your name in the pool for available people. (They do that about every other set) Then they pick choose the number of beta testers they think that they need for a given set from that pool.
Anybody play in the 9th Edition Release on Magic Online? Could you post the rare set you got from the PE or league? Be a good way to figure out the online rare print run.
I'm pretty sure this guy is the best reanimation target in ext now. Akroma has been in that spot, but this guy's ability outweighs the lack of haste I think, since you keep taking the spell that will hurt you the most every turn.
Ehh..in taking a look at the alternate template layout stuff...I really think the *best* idea so far is the "guild symbol like the DCI symbol"...but take a look. Alternate mana symbols would just be too difficult.
This usage of the guild symbols is almost certainly correct. The thing you left out of your mockups is that the new symbols will be colored with the two colors that make it up. The coloring will make it childishly simple to see which symbol goes with which color pair. This concept is also certainly something that R&D would do as the new color symbols are simply a step in between the standard ones and 1.
The Mirror Gallery card is going to be number one in causing rules headaches, since one of the reasons that cards get made Legendary is that having two in play isn't handled well by the rules. This was specifically mentioned as the reason for Krark's Thumb being Legendary.
Ogre Recluse - :3mana::symr: Creature - Ogre Warrior (U) Whenever a player plays a spell, tap Ogre Recluse. 5/4
This one is completely fine in an agressive limited deck since for them to prevent him from attacking they have to use their instant spell before you declare attackers, so that likely wastes whatever spell it was (Indomitable Will, Kodama's Might, etc) rather than use on you in surprise. Most likely you weren't planning on blocking too much with him anyway.
Ogre Marauder - :1mana::symb::symb: Creature - Ogre Warrior (U) Whenever Ogre Marauder attacks, it can’t be blocked this turn unless defending player sacrifices a creature.
3/1
Most of the time it'll be a 2 for 1 which is certainly quite fine for its cost.
Scourge of Numai
- Creature - Demon Spirit (U) At the beginning of your upkeep, you lose 2 life if you don’t control an Ogre. 4/4
This one is more just to fill in the mana curve for a casual Demon/Ogre deck.
Takenuma Bleeder - :2mana::symb: Creature - Ogre Shaman (C) Whenever Takenuma Bleeder attacks or blocks, you lose 1 life if you don’t control a Demon. 3/3
This one is most certainly playable as it's drawback isn't that bad.
Hounds, furnace, and keyword were ones that I should have got had I spent more time thinking about it.
Falter Giant should be rare and buyback is definitely more orzhov than izzet.
Huh? Artifact Creature -> Creature
Oooh, looks like removing to me. Spoooky...

There's always fewer preview cards for the small sets than the big ones. Have to stick around a few years to catch details like that.
Precon decklists have been available for over 12 hours.
It was considered and dismissed faster the wheeeeeeeeee.
Hmm...

....hmm can't seem to find the WUB two color guild? where'd you see it at?
Yes, they stated that Mirage will not be available for redemption when it comes out online. (Which is obvious)
