Ajani Goldmane - Second of the 5 is back for sure this time, although this one has the same abilites as last time this is a serious lemon card with some serious bad assery under it's belt, i look forward to collecting this one for my binder again.
Ajani's Mantra- Now as all typical enchantments go, this one is pretty simple, each upkeep, you get a life, not bad for a core set enchant, but could be better, i understand the need to name it after a planeswalker, all said and good but you know not really the kind of stuff needed for a magic player in the long run, another card that'll be worth 10 cents if your lucky.
Ajani's Pridemate- It works hand in hand with the card stated above it would seem, up good stuff, gets power boost from life gain, not all that bad in the long run, this plus a lifelink strategy works hand in hand for some reason, i can see a lifelink deck being built around this and probably baneslayer angel whom i'll discuss later.
Angelic Arbiter - Wow another angel for this set that makes what 3 this time but each opponent can only either attack or throw spells at you if this is on the field, not both, massive linvala controllish card here.
Armored Ascension- It's back the aura from M10, same as ever, i expect this to be one of a white drafter's top picks since it works with mono white decks, another revival from M10.
Assault Griffin - This is your standard filler card, 4 drop for 3/2 not bad, but not good, it's a standard last pick if you get it passed back to you, might not see much play in my book.
Baneslayer Angel- What is there not to say about this card, it's powerful, goes against black and red decks with ease, has 3 excellent abilites, costs 50 bucks as of now, plus it's hard to get rid of on the field, i expect this to be common white draft's 1st or 2nd pick depending, we will see when M11 rolls in.
Blinding Mage - Seriously are they considering reprinting this, from 2010's core set, this wasn't as good of a card as i thought when i first gazed on it from last year's one, so it's a pass in my book
Celestial Purge - Well well well, this is back, in full force, black and red has a reason to fear white again, that is for certain.

Cloud Crusader - Another pretty standard 4 drop for 2/3, flying and first strike make it more interesting then other filler cards, this is a middle pick i feel, could be wrong, white decks will often pass this one by unless they got no choice, i'm not a white drafter so i dunno.
Condemn - So it would appear a tenth edition card has made it in the set, a somewhat ok spell, could be worse, they could reprint path to exile, just joking why would they do that, that card is broken, another standard spell, mostly filler, rarely seen in tournament play it would appear due to it's effect.
Day of Judgement - Who saw this coming, the new WOG, from the zendikar set, dear god wizards just boosted the power level of white/blue control to a new standard again.

Elite Vanguard - Finally a 1 drop that's not savannah lions 1 for a 2/1 no abilites creature, filler, next!
Excommunicate - Another past M10 card has returned, the 3 drop spell for bouncing is back, i liked this card somewhat, but not a top pick, what is nowadays anyways, except for mythics and good stuff like planeswalkers.
Goldenglow Moth - Ok what is with these 1 drops that have lifegain abilites, flying i can understand, but a 0/1 for 1 come on wizards you need to improve here, it's all good but this card is lackluster, only good with power up cards like armored ascension.
Holy Strength - Another semi good aura, not much to say 1 drop for giving a creature +1/+2 not bad, not good, useful but only with creatures, next!
Honor of the Pure - Well, another reprint, another day, this time the fact of the matter is this card is so broken with soldier decks it's not even funny, i'd like to see a honor of the soldier deck one day, maybe i might write up a list for it.

Infantry Veteran - Finally a card not from 10th edition, or M10, this 9th edition classic is a excellent turn 1 drop to lead into a turn 2 haste creature, good 4th or 5th pick in a draft, can't wait to see the new artwork for it too.
Inspired Charge - Seriously another pump spell, as predicted this means white is all bout small creatures/nasty spells, +2/+1 isn't all that bad IMO.
Knight Exemplar - A three drop for a 2/2 that gives knights a +1/+1 and indestructibility, really, that's one of the rares of this set, thank goodness it's a nice card, if your playing knights constantly, pretty good spoiler to be honest, i like it.
Leyline of Sancitity - Well, this is the 3rd leyline i've talked about thus far, it seems really good, shroud for all creatures, seriously, key for white indeed.
Mighty Leap - Bout time a standalone card, this little number seems good, +2/+2 and flying, sign me up, where do i get me one of these, it's a common a good common spell too for attacking decks, worthwhile, it seems like a 50 cent card.
Pacifism - Another revive card, same abilites from the last set, nothing to see here, nothing to talk about this card for, next!
Palace Guard - Well this means filler, but it can block any number of creatures, a wall of these, devestating indeed, with Honor of the Pure, it will prove to be a sideboard card at the very least for something.
Roc Egg - A unique defender really, when it dies off the battlefield you get a 3/3 flyer, nice for 3 mana that's even nicer, i like it somewhat.
Safe Passage - Another M10 reprint, damage prevention, plus instant speed make for a semi good card, if it had a uncounterable ability, i'd be sold for control, but it doesn't moving on.
Serra Angel - This 4/4 vigilance flyer is back, uncommon as ever, unique as ever note the sarcasm, flying you know the deal, good mid game and good late game, i like it in drafts a lot, worth it's weight when it comes to attacking and such, i expect this to be a common white deck staple in drafts.
Serra Ascendant - Wow a 1 drop with lifelink at a 1/1, plus when you get 30 or more life it gets +5/+5 and flying, this is so broken, glad they put it a rare value, this means white decks have a vaild lifegain strategy nowadays.
Siege Mastodon - We're laying the siege here folks for a 3/5 for a 5 converted cost this seems pretty fillerish to me, i'd like to see less filler, most useful cards out of this set, but it's WOTC's call not mine.
Silence - Well this is a real silencer, no spells or abilites can be casted the turn this is used, great for shutting down opponents on turn 5 or 6 to get your baneslayer angel out.

Silvercoat Lion - Another timmy flavoured card, bloody hell how many are in core sets again, oh yeah that's right 2 drop for 2/2 not bad, ability less, not good, but swift attacker and blocker, did i mention it's a common?
Solemn Offering - Finally a useful spell, it's this color's naturalize which will be listed at the end of the article, gains 4 life as expected, flavourful card is flavourful, i like it for white decks, it saves you in a pinch.
Squadron Hawk - Is this a real good white common for a change, let's see when it comes into play you can search for the other three copies of this card and put em into your hand, very nice indeed, it's a 2 drop for a 1/1 flyer as well, so good lightning bolt bait and such.
Stormfront Pegasus - Well this 2 drop has returned, the same as last year at the common level, it would have figured this would have come back and not some more useful card, which would have been nice and all however, i semi do like this white 2 drop for a 2/1 flyer.

Sun Titan - How i've been wanting to talk about this card since i heard of it, 6 drop for a 6/6 vigilance creature, with a ability to return a 3 converted casting cost card from the graveyard to the battlefield and it also does this when it attacks, ladies and gentlemen, meet the new Reveillark but it does this ability every single time, also did i mention it's the prerelease foil you get when you go to one of these, i'm there come july.
Tireless Missionaries - Tireless is right, this is another 5 drop filler, 2/3 in terms of power/toughness, not that bad really, but not good, wizards you need to try harder.
Vengeful Archon - Are you kidding me this rare is just insane, lightning bolt, nah just pay 3 and redirect damage back to the opponent, banefire, nah just pay 5 and redirect it to the opponent, at a 7 drop this is insanity, this card alone i can see in the 10 dollar range.
Warpriest of Thune - Hmm another 2 drop for a 2/2, but this destroys enchantments, hmm i like this one, but then again it seems like a card most would believe to be a non essential standard card, but more like a draft card, since this seems like a good hard counter to the major enchantments people love to use, wait and see i always say.
White Knight - As expected, if black knight is back, this was back, the yin to the yang for this card, nice the two cards are back in circulation for standard.
Wild Griffin - Another Tenth edition card, 3 drop for 2/2 flyer, nice, good mid range, it seems suitable for white drafting, i'm probably gonna slide this one into a 10th pick if it passes by again.
Well that's about all she wrote for the spoilers for white, as per expected, this article is done, only 5 more to go, i'll do those throughout the day.
