Seems like we'll have a reanimator theme for black going, fair bet we'll see Griselbrand, Elesh Norn and Iona in this?
Need some worthwhile legendary creatures in the set, otherwise Karakas is a dead pick.
I think Sheoldred, Whispering One, Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur, and Blightsteel Colossus might be in line before those.Quote:

I'm also surprised they use the art of judge foils and make new for stuff like Animate dead and Control Magic
Well Blightsteel is a pretty poor reanimation target, and gives no shits about Karakas.Quote:

People were keen on more copies of Keiga and Kokusho in MM2, and boy were they happy to see Jugan, the Rising Star as their Mythic Rare.
We've only seen one Modern legal card at Rare or Mythic so far (Charbelcher). It looks like they are minimising the Modern stuff, presumably to save for MM17. I wouldn't expect Griselbrand or Elesh Norn or Blightsteel frankly. With Animate Dead as an Uncommon there will be fat reanimation targets but they will be old and mostly outdated ones that have been supplanted by the NWO (like Worldgorger) but at Rare and Uncommon so they will actually show up in a draft.
Kinda disappointed that Karakas is a mythic - I was hoping for a rare.
It was taken off in the last Great Reserve List Update (quietly done last year).Quote:

No update since then at the very least. I have no idea where you are getting your info.
I think because you had to originally chose the target when you play animate dead so when they errata'd it they maintained targeting when you cast it.Quote:

Especially if it's only Mythic to protect the price point. It's valuable because it bounces Emrakul and Griselbrand. Without those targets to give it value, why would it be good in draft? To bounce your Rofellos? oh boy!Quote:

Is there a potently playable white card in any of the newer supplementary products that's not Containment Priest (because that's 90% in the set at rare)?
They haven't ruled out Dark Depths as far as we know (??); I could definitely see this being a good time to reprint it. I'm sure white weenie archetype will have small legends it may want to protect with Karakas, even non-white may have legends they want to be bounce-able. Time Spiral had a ton of pretty scary legends, not the least of which was Mangara.Quote:
