Mirran Crusader has been known to us for quite some time and i though since he's first on the candidate list to talk bout him, he's a 2/2 with pro black and pro green, also having double strike as his first ability, for a 3 mana drop knight too, there is also a alternate art form of this card for the release of the set in stores Feburary 4th as well, i'll feature it at the end of the article.
Phyrexian Rebirth or Wrath of god's 5-8 as i like to refer to it has another effect where it generates a token that is a artifact creature on the battlefield and X is the number of creatures destroyed in this manner, so this thing could generate 7/7's or higher when it's activated, a nice counter to those mirran cards espically myr's.
Victory's Herald or as i like to refer to it is another Serra Angel basically for it's casting cost of 6, though it gives lifelink and flying when it attacks it barely warrants any format of play besides limited and can cause a great deal of headaches when the time comes espically for 6 mana
My next card though has no confirmed image and i'm betting it's real but we cannot say for certain as White Sun's Zenith is what i am referring to, it's a mass token generator only good for EDH and even Limited, since of course it has X in it's casting cost with 3 white mana needed to cast the thing, though it generates 2/2 cat tokens no one can say for certain.
Blue Sun's Zenith though is just nice to have, card draw in X form it's another mind spring but a lot more expensive, ramp decks may enjoy this but i think it might end up being a 2 dollar rare.
It's a Browbeat for Blue you're joking right, wow you either get 1 card or 3 with this rare and it's just nuts in the long run as your hand will not get taken down to one or two cards, instantly one of my favorite rares from the set thus far.
Phyrexian Crusader as seen here is the counterpart to Mirran Crusader and it is very nice indeed, first strike, pro red and white, Infect and it's a 2/2 for 3 mana, the other half of the first two worlds cards spoiled all those weeks ago.
The Vatmother here is just awesome, 4/5 infect, you get a poison counter which is the only drawback and she's a 4 drop to boot so the earlier you power her out the better, as a friend said it's Duzam Jinn on steroids.
Another mirran vampire, that gives nothing but good things back it's a 3/3 for 4, it's flying and basically when anything dies or is discarded you get 3 life from it's effect if you choose but i do not know why you wouldn't want to have this effect it's just so damned good.
Hellkite Igniter, one of the most recent spoiled rares is a deadly dragon as good as they come, you basically can pump it to do as much damage as humanly possible when it attacks, it has flying and haste, beats anything in the air easily and perhaps may become one of my top 5 dragons for artifacts of all time.
Red Sun's Zenith is just bonkers in the end of the day it deals damage, it exiles things and it goes back into the library to do it all over again did i mention you could power this out on turn 2 or 3 if you choose to.
Wow slagstorm is just insane as a burn spell for 3 mana you basically get a field sweeper that deals 3 damage to everything on the field or each player, god i think this will replace Volcanic Fallout for sure in the extended decks Fallout is in.
Green Sun's Zenith aka Genesis Wave 5-8 for green decks is just insane, it gets anything that is X or less when you pay it, you can easily ramp to it on turn 6, fetch a titan and go to work again, seriously i think out of all the rares so far this hits the top 3 list in my book.
Yeah a wrath of god for all artifacts is so sick, though i wish they would have waited for this since we have too many wrath effects in standard but overall a very good card for a 4 mana drop sorcery, it's just a thing to see this kind of stuff in a current deck these days, green looks like it's gonna have fun for the Release and Prerelease parties.
Last but not least is Phyrexian Hydra, yes another bloody hydra that is huge, it has infect it's a 7/7 and it prevents damage by adding -1/-1 counters onto itself for a five drop too, is it good maybe, it is tournament worthy, perhaps in draft as bombs like these can be easily attained, is infect a now probable strategy, yes it is, anyhoo that calls it for this long article, tommorow i'll go over part 2 of this set of articles in the form of Artifacts and Lands spoiled up to this point, this is vergil signing off.
