First on my list in previews today is a card called Endless Ranks of the Dead which is a black enchantment that spits out zombie tokens, it's a rare costs 2 and 2 black mana to play and at the beginning of your upkeep put X 2/2 black zombie creature tokens onto the battlefield, where X is half the number of Zombies you control, rounded down. To me this sounds like zombies are being made viable in Innistrad, i just wonder how much viability is in zombies other then vampires since this is a rare and the chances of this being in your draft pool for the prerelease is kinda slim, interesting though next is a card i never thought i would see made period.
That is right Angel of Flight Alabaster, allows for the return of spirit cards from the graveyard, is a 4/4 flier and is a rare, costs a simple 4 and a white mana as well, interesting as she may be i don't expect her to be useful outside of spirits in this case, since spirits are present and accounted for in innistrad, does everyone wanna see your second walker for the set, hmmm i do.
Gee a 3rd garruk who'd have thunk it, so he costs 3 and a green in his daytime form, has a transformation clause where he has to have 2 or fewer counters on him, 0 to deal 3 damage to target creature, the creature deals damage equal to it's power back to him, 0 again to put a 2/2 green wolf onto the battlefield. In his nighttime form however he has +1 Put a 1/1 black wolf token with deathtouch on the battlefield, -1 Sacrifice a creature, if you search your library for a creature, reveal it, put it into your hand, then shuffle your library, -3 is his ultimate and with this creatures you control get trample and get +X/+X until end of turn where X is the number of creature cards in your graveyard, did i mention he's a mythic rare, did i also mention he has 5 abilites not 3 but 5 so this confirms our 5 ability walker in this set as well, gee i wonder if wizards was really thinking when they made a 3rd garruk, onto the next preview.
Divine Reckoning is the latest Wrath spell to hit the block and wow, so it costs 2 and 2 white same as Wrath, each player chooses a creature he/she controls, then destroy the rest, has a flashback cost of 5 and 2 white mana as well, so printing a wrath type spell with flashback, overkill much wizards, are you mad, of course you are don't answer that, next preview card please.
Curse of Death's Hold is a rare aura that enchants a player, that player has all his/her creatures get -1/-1 for the time this is active, it costs 3 and 2 black mana as well, since it has curse in it's namesake it's pretty damn obvious this is a curse card, it's nice to see something like this in game now, makes curses more fun, next preview card please.
Mindshrieker is a rare creature that has flying, is a 1/1 that you pay 2 mana, Target player puts the top card of his or her library into the graveyard, Mindshrieker gets +X/+X until end of turn, where X is that card's converted mana cost, so every time it mills it gets powerful and you swing, a pretty decent dude honestly for a spirit bird costs a mere 2 mana 1 and a blue to play, wow this one is pretty good, anyways that's all the previews for week 1 of Innistrad, this is vergil signing off
