Blue's turn for the usual spoiler list for the season i'm expecting great things and i'm sure we won't be too dissapointed, stay tuned as always as things are about to get interesting for the small set of the season.
#20) Blue Sun's Zenith - Well i expected this card to be totally honest and we weren't dissapointed, this is literally the new mind spring except it does not go to the graveyard when it's finished, sounds to me wizards actually made a functional reprint possible for this set.
#21) Consecrated Sphinx - Say what, sphinxes with double card draw in my MBS, hell yeah also it's a 4/6 out of bolt range and pretty much any other spells, did i mention it was a mythic.
#22) Corrupted Conscience - Well another thing that makes things into infecters, but it's a control spell, not bad, but not too good really as this may end up being countered and it costs 5 mana, i'd rather play Mind Control then this.
#23) Cryptoplasm - Another weird as hell rare, a shapshifter that's a 3/3 and has a Clone effect each turn as you can shift it into different creatures during your upkeep, he only costs 1 and 2 blue, really interesting here
#24) Distant Memories - This is blue's version for browbeat, wow this isn't half bad as a rare really, it's a decent brainstorm and it costs less then a actual brainstorm provided the effect isn't used, if it is you still get a card out of it, not bad.
#25) Fuel for the Cause - Counter spell that is a 4 drop, let's see there are better, proliferation doesn't even save this for a fact, it's a limited cannon fodder in my eyes, perhaps like 2nd last pick fodder
#26) Mirran Spy - It's a spy, no it's just a goddamned drone, nothing more, nothing less for a common at a 1/3 balance that flys and untaps things, yikes this is going to show something else entirely.
#27) Mitotic Manipulation - I don't really know what to say about this particular card is it good, is it bad, is it so so, i cannot give my honest opinions as the text of the card kind of confuses me i mean "Look at the top seven cards of your library, You may put one of those cards onto the battlefield if it has the same name as a permanent you control, Put the rest on the bottom of your library in any order." 1) The second line of text is downright confusing, what if you control a 6/6 Carnifex demon, you're allowed to put another one provided it is in the next seven cards, i'm sorry i cannot say much more bout this.
#28) Neurok Commando - Another shroud creature, wait a second 2/1 shroud only costs 3 mana and it gives card draw when it deals damage, will this replace sea gate oracle i think so but no one can be too certain.
#29) Oculus - A really weird creature type i must admit, but it is a 1/1 when it drops for 2 mana, it nets a card when it dies and all that neat stuff, decent limited material.
#30) Quicksilver Geyser - Another bounce spell, next
#31) Serum Raker - Wow discard at it's best when this dies off, as a 3/2 body for a mere 4 mana this is decent enough to want to draft blue, because it goes over with flying and pretty much is a difficult to deal with threat and the fact we've had this kind of thing in this set for a while, not bad.
#32) Spire Serpent - Another defender but with a serious twist, 3/5 with metalcraft that turns off defender and gives it a +2/+2 boost, late game material that is for sure, though i cannot say how good it is
#33) Steel Sabotage - Recursion/ counterspell for one blue mana, one blue mana, um am i seeing things here or is it true that there is a artifact counterspell for 1 blue mana, wizards come on!
#34) Treasure Mage - It's about damned time we get something that can fetch wurmcoil engines and darksteel colossus, great in conjunction with another card i'll spoil in part 7 of this series
#35) Turn the Tide - Wow limited filler, i've seen better disarming spells then this next!
#36) Vedalken Anatomist - Limited control at it's finest, great for proliferate which is a returning mechanic to the set, though it does have a few drawbacks, blue might actually have some fun with this set.
#37) Vedalken Infuser - Well well well, a veldaken and a decent one at that, it puts charge counters on things, for a 1/4 out of bolt range, i love it already, is a decent body to block, love it even more and did i mention it puts charge counters on things.
#38) Vivisection - Sorcery speed for another brainstorm effect, but you gotta sacrifice a creature to do it, sorry it's not really my cup of tea so to speak, there is a lot better sorcery's out there including Preordian and that but this might see limited play.
Well that's all she wrote for blue in this set, 19 cards of interest including some serious overpowered cards, next stop black in the hell hole that is spoiler season.
