Eater of Days is a very interesting card. From a flavor point of view he's fantastic. But wouldn't you just hate for your opponent to draw a copy of Shatter in the first turn you skip?

There are two whole new cards today! Memnarch, some of us already knew about, but he has cool art. Strangely, he interacts well with his arch-enemy Glissa.

The other new card is an excellent (though expensive to use) Equipment armament.

Darksteel looks like it's driven on taking the whole modal ability to it's limits. I don't mean the new modular mechanic, more so it's ability to integrate into practically any previously printed magic set flawlessly. Cards like whispersilk cloak will definately be first round draft picks. Unblockable AND can't be a target of spells or abilities, and it's only a common. Mirrodin creatures will still dominate the playing field. White with it's fliers and red with the goblin strikers and spikeshot goblins. But overall, Darksteel looks like it will spice up the drafts with darksteel creatures, and arcbounds that they intentionally kill to put a mass of counters on Triskelion

More news. Fireball is reprinted - and they cleaned up the rules in a major way! You may recall that the Oracle has an X and a Y in its casting cost. Now they've moved back closer to the original wording, saying "As an additional cost, pay 1 for each target beyond the first."

I'm glad to see Fireball back.

Arguably the neatest Darksteel card yet is Sword of Light and Shadow. Unfortunately, it's a rare card. I'll probably never see one.

My sister is always saying how there should be a card named "Death From Above". This is the closest I've seen so far. It even has a suitable effect!

"Mindblaster" sounds like a psychic attack deck. Might be black discard. Unless they reprinted Psionic Blast . . .

Ageless Entity really, really, really, really wants an Armadillo Cloak.

Yes maam, I'd like 6 life and a 12/12 trampler please. And maybe 12 life and a 24/24 trampler next turn.

I like Transference. Find yourself a Forgotten Ancient, some Dragon Blood, a Decree of Savagery, and it could get pretty insane. Just make sure you can keep track of all those counters! I use these glass beads I bought at the art store.

You know what else I like? The innovation. I'm looking at the card list right now and I see effects that I've never seen before. Way to go Wizards of the Coast! There's also still more new creature types and card types. Slobad is a Goblin Artificer Legend; Carry Away is Enchant Equipment. I love it!

I just rediscovered one of Randy Buehler's articles about the reprint policy.

http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=mtgcom/daily/rb9

Usually I don't like him or his writings, but the cards he mused about reprinting caught my eye, namely Clone, Juggernaut, and Regrowth. Clone was reprinted in Onslaught. Juggernaut is in Darksteel. Is Regrowth coming back too?
