Archive Trap |   |
| Instant - Trap |  |
If an opponent searched his or her library this turn, you may pay  rather than pay Archive Trap's mana cost.Target opponent puts the top thirteen cards of his or her library into his or her graveyard. | |
| Illus. Jason Felix #41/249 | |
13 seems like a weird number. This could be useful for W/U mill decks. Path to Exile your dude. Do you search for a land? LET THE MIND GAMES BEGIN.
World Queller |  |
| Creature - Avatar | |
| At the beginning of your upkeep, you may choose a card type. If you do, each player sacrifices a permanent of that type. | |
| Illus. James Paick #39/249 | 4/4 |
World Queller is obviously a planeswalker-killer. However, it's also useful for artifact and enchantment destruction, or if you need a creature killed badly enough. Basically it's a jack-of-all-trades, and could very well see play in Constructed. Watch out for this guy.
Baloth Woodcrasher |   | |
| Creature - Beast |  | |
| Landfall - Whenever a land enters the battlefield under your control, Baloth Woodcrasher gets +4/+4 and gains trample until end of turn. | ||
| Its insatiable hunger quickly depletes a region of prey. It must migrate from place to place to feed its massive bulk. | ||
| Illus. Zoltan Boros & Gabor Szikszai #157/249 | 4/4 | |
Limited bomb, Constructed flop. NEXT!
Sea Gate Loremaster | | |
| Creature - Merfolk Wizard Ally | | |
 : Draw a card for each Ally you control. | ||
| "He's a living library. He remembers everything our band of explorers has seen, and we can use that to our advantage." - Zahr Gada, Halimar expedition leader | ||
| Illus. Dave Kendall #63/249 | 1/3 | |
Now THIS is a card you should watch out for at the Prerelease. With a second Ally in play, it will simply win games. Not explosively: but it will win them. Like Merfolk Looter on steroids, it does it's thing turn after turn, and then you win the game.
Scute Mob | | |
| Creature - Insect | | |
| At the beginning of your upkeep, if you control five or more lands, put four +1/+1 counters on Scute Mob. | ||
| "Survival rule 781: There are always more scute bugs." - Zurdi, goblin shortcutter | ||
| Illus. Zoltan Boros & Gabor Szikszai #182/249 | 1/1 | |
Say it with me guys: WOW. With five lands, this guy is a BEAST. I could see him see play in Standard, Extended, and even Legacy as a late game beater. This guy is incredibly, incredibly good and he will be making waves for years. I called it. You'll see.
Gigantiform | |
| Enchantment - Aura | |
| Kicker Enchant creature Enchanted creature is 8/8 and has trample. When Gigantiform enters the battlefield, if it was kicked, you may search your library for a card named Gigantiform, put it onto the battlefield, then shuffle your library. | |
| Illus. Justin Sweet #162/249 | |
A limited bomb indeed, but this card will probably also see play in a rogue Standard deck with Needle Specter and Cold-Eyed Selkie. Other than that, not much.
Kazandu Blademaster | | |
| Creature - Human Soldier Ally | | |
| First strike, vigilance Whenever Kazandu Blademaster or another Ally enters the battlefield under your control, you may put a +1/+1 counter on Kazandu Blademaster. | ||
| "If you hire a sell-sword, you'd better watch your back. Hire me, and I'll watch it for you." | ||
| Illus. Michael Komarck #16/249 | 1/1 | |
It's too bad Zendikar doesn't show much Constructed promise in Allies, because this is a good one. If Worldwake has more to offer, this guy may become decent.
Kabira Evangel |  |
| Creature - Human Cleric Ally | |
| Whenever Kabira Evangel or another Ally enters the battlefield under your control, you may choose a color. If you do, Allies you control gain protection from the chosen color until end of turn. | |
| Illus. Eric Deschamps #15/249 | 2/3 |
With Flash, this guy could see Constructed play. Without it, it's simply a Limited stalemate breaker.
*River Boa |  |
| Creature - Snake |  |
| Islandwalk: Regenerate River Boa. | |
| 2/1 | |
This guy saw a lot of play back when creatures were worse. I reserve judgement on this guy. I have no idea if he'll see play or not. Except in Limited. He'll see plenty of play there.
*Demolish |  |
| Sorcery | |
| Destroy target artifact or land. | |
He didn't see play in Tenth, he won't see play now. 14th pick, bottom of the barrel.
And that's our 10! Join us in a day or two as we go through another group!
See you tomorrow!
