All the new split cards seem fine, if not amazing.

The new planeswalker is very strong. Good defensive ability. +1 is kinda meh, and the ultimate is very strong, although one rarely ultimates planeswalkers.

Beck and Call is a way cool idea thematically but Call is just too expensive.

I'm sure someone will think of interesting ways to use his +1.... probably to untap that thing that adds 3 mana of any color to your pool?

Also, DGM will have ten intro packs and each one will have the guild champion as the foil rare.

So if Fate wants a foil one for his Runic Thar EDH deck...

@pie: I liked that card better when it was the 3cmc version that was a mini staticaster+card draw hybrid.

Now he's at 6 mana and wutttttt


Also show me where they say we're getting our champion cause sounds like BAITNSWITCH

The only thing about Ral is that his +1 ability doesn't really work as defensive. They still get to untap their permanent next turn.

Yeah, pretty sure I was talking about the second.

I dunno, I tend to only follow spoiler season very lightly, mainly because everyone always hyperventilates about cards which end up being bad and dismisses cards that are actually amazing. If magic players have proved anything with each iteration of spoiler season it is that we are all fantastically terrible at card evaluation until we can actually play with the cards in context. I can see any of the cards that I've seen here (read: the only ones I've looked at) being amazing under the right circumstances, and all of them also being virtually unplayable. Its just important to take spoiler season with a grain of salt, and that grain of salt is that we suck.

Laughing at people in the Rumor mill on MTGS is by far the best thing to do during spoiler season.
