(Its been weeks since my last post. I’m very busy lately. I hope this prerelease weekend will help me relax.)
A day to go before the prerelease of Alara Reborn and I’m getting excited. I’m sure you do too, opening those Meddling Mages and other cool stuff. The full spoiler was completed yesterday at Mtg Salvation. You can check it here.
Overall Impression of the Set. I liked it I’ve already got a list of chase cards in hand but I’m hoping they won’t go with the hype that people are creating. Let’s go with the test play first before judging the cards. Also, the set has a lot of cool uncommons.
Cascade is cool but I find a few cards with that mechanic that is really tournament staple. The usual first impressions but they will all undergo some test play.
My Top 10 Alara Reborn Cards. Here are my choices. I won’t go into detail at the moment.
1. Maelstrom Pulse
2. Jenara, Asura of War
3. Identity Crisis
4. Enigma Sphinx
5. Dauntless Escort
6.Thought Hemorrhage
7. Meddling Mage
8. Sen Triplets
9. Mycoid Shepherd
10. Blitz Hellion
Decks I Predict that will Benefit from the Set. Definitely 5cc and Bant/Dark Bant. BR Aggro will also get some improvement (and maindeck staples that I really like).
So what are your thoughts of the new set?
Just bought Rumbler and Unnatural Schemes. Man, I’d put Blitz Helion higher on that list XD
