It's miserable and encourages interacting at a stage (after draw, before main) you shouldn't be encouraging actions at....what?
Also:
When you have to actively interrupt your opponent constantly, something's wrong.

I'm not sure what's wrong with draw phase interaction.
The same thing that was wrong with the Gotcha mechanic in U2. Throws the rhythm of the game off.

I for one welcome our Vendilion Clique overlords (and hope they're reprinted soon).
(Gotcha is bad because its not fun and encourages you to sit there quietly)
If by "miserable" you mean "interesting because it actually saw play outside of Onslaught draft" then I guess I agree?
Again I think the change is fine for commons and uncommons but higher rarties should be allowed more flexibility/"umph"

I wish there was some way to pimp out really awesome game stores - my LGS just saved me 20 bucks on singles for the commander deck I'm building versus CoolStuff (who I was going to order from since they're local to me and I can just do in-store pickup). This is on top of cheap drafts that give an option for store credit as a reward (which they let you use to enter more drafts!), friendly and helpful employees, and a really great clientele that's a cut above what I'd usually expect.

Yup, set 3 is Dragons/Tribal.

The reason why this happens is sort of obvious too based on the Tarkir story guide they put up today:
One reason they may have gone more out there (phonetically) with Clan names - the clans may not exist at the end of this block, giving them the ability to "redo" them in the future if they don't stick.
edit: Preorder prices are so silly cause of fetches. Ascendancies are all under a buck (for a playset), Rattleclaw for 2.75, Zurgo for 1.75, the wrath for 2.)

lol they didn't even try to hide the story here.
Ugin should be in set 2 then?
Now's a good time to buy in then I suppose...

Buying in on Force of Will on MTGO when it was 26 dollars was totally worth it.
I'm waiting for the cards to hit Amazon, and for you to make a nice list of stuff to buy like you did for M15
Well, I jumped on these cause they were from a local dealer (Western MD) on Ebay, so "not having them take 2 weeks to arrive" was a factor in not nickle-diming on em.I'm waiting for the cards to hit Amazon, and for you to make a nice list of stuff to buy like you did for M15

Also, i don't think it's not an accident that the fetches didn't appear until the foil dot tech was in place.

Kheru Spellthief
Creature - Naga Wizard
Morph 4UU
When Kheru Spellthief is turned face up, counter target spell. If that spell is countered this way, exile it instead of putting it into its owner's graveyad. You may cast that card without paying its mana cost as long as it remains exiled.
Pretty neat.

That's a fun card.

Ah yes, the endless loop of playing Standard.
Don't get me wrong - I completely understand it. But every spoiler season these days, I"m increasingly happy to have gotten out of that pool.

I just don't play constructed at all! Problem solved.
And still end up spending wads of money to draft like a fiend with an insatiable appetite.

I'm thinking I'll just start out with an Abzan aggro deck. Running Sunblade Elf, Soldier of the Pantheon, Fleecemane, Spiteful Returned (?), Brimaz, Anafenza, and maybe Sorin would be a pretty easy way to kill people.
Played Junk tonight in Modern since I had it built for a friend already and UWR was apart. It was like playing Easy mode all night. Aside from a tense game 2 last round vs Melira Pod (where I equipped a spirit token with a Batterskull to power through Sigarda with a giant Scooze to block on ground), I felt like I had answers to everything at all times. Really tempted to keep playing it, at least for another week.
Legacy has more than 5 viable deck types.

Have a list you'd care to share? Midrange decks like that are among my favorite

Sorry, I meant, playing against U/W/R Miracles constantly.
Wizards doesn't give a shit about Legacy (or so I heard) so why change it in any way that could piss off its players who are potentially players of the other formats that they actually want to grow.

A major Legacy change would require banning Brainstorm or Force of Will, neither of which they will do because fuck it, why?

It's not on the reserve list, so it's not impossible. I'd say it's unlikely though.
When it's turned face up, Act of Treason.
[EDIT] Apparently, you only get the triggered ability if it's your turn.

Aww for a rare it should be any time. That would be hilarious
Although I guess they do always print AoT effects at sorcery speed

And hey, it sounds like you can technically still activate this one at instant speed offensively, you can't just keep it back as a defensive trick
Yeah, it can "fog" a blocker, but its unlikely to actually be the best way to use it.

Still, it's fine to have that option if the opponent flashes in a blocker or a face-down card turns out to be a huge guy (without hexproof). Pretty neat.
BTW, is it wrong for me to be far more interested in what the commons of the set will be like than the rares?

If you play mostly limited, you should be more interested in the commons than the rares.

It's probably rare since it's a bomb in limited but that's still gotta be one of the most disappointing rares to ever open

It would be a limited bomb if it was on any turn. But this could easily (should easily) be an uncommon.
We just had Akroan Conscriptor at uncommon, and that was fine (but it was an uncommon in a single set in a draft, which does make a different).

This card could be standard playable. The body is acceptable (2/1 for 2), the morph cost is cheap enough, and Threaten is a playable (sideboard) effect. Especially if we get a second playable red morph card (Blistering Firecat?), I could see this card getting some play.
