Fairly uninspiring so far eh?

[James Mills]

YAY BOP!

[Thomas David Baker]

It's all "fun" cards from the new "fun" format Archenemy.

Place your bets now ... what percentage is going to be new cards? As much as M10? Or are they going to reprint most of M10?

[Dan Barrett]

Apparently it's "50% new" again, althgough like last time, some amount will be functional reprints (e.g. Grizzly -> Runeclaw)

[Thom Richardson]

so far so dull (well good limted removal aside)

how long before Nats does this come out?

if the approx half new cards is right I reckon the set will probably have a reasonable impact on standard.

probably wont make any new decks, though you never know, but there will be some key cards including at least 1 chase mythic

Wizards likes selling packs afterall.

[Dan Barrett]

It comes out about 6 weeks before Nats, so testing proper will start then.

[Thom Richardson]

sweet that gives me loads of time to get good enough at draft to LCQ...

and then scrub out and try to LCQ in standard in the afternoon.

i presume you are going to be testing at TGC?

[Paul Hodgson]

if there's a mythic angel, dragon or demon probably worth picking them up on pre-order. Probably no new planeswalkers, and will be interesting to see what they do with the lands.
