Avacyn Restored, the latest expansion to be released this May 4th, has started previews today from the mothership. The first in line was the two new mechanics Soulbound and Miracle. As explained, cards with the Miracle keyword can be played for its cost if it is the first card drawn this turn, while Soulbound creatures coming into the battlefield can be paired with another unpaired creature you control. They both gain additional bonus abilities when paired. Also, both Avacyn and Griselbrand had been revealed in this wave.

Here they are:

   

The rest of the card previews can be found on the official Avacyn Restored card image gallery, or on MTG Salvation. So far my favorites are Restoration Angel, Silverblade Paladin and legendary Sigarda. Hoping this set would be fun to play in Standard with less wallet-slaying.

Until next post!
