[Gatecrash] Official Spoilers for 1/15/13

[Thrillho]

Not a fan of any of it but maybe you are!

[Shalako]

Primordial just seems like a "I win" in EDH

[Second Harkius]

Is it too early to declare the set a dud or too late?

[Thrillho]

Too early. There's still a lot of keyworded cards we haven't seen that could actually do something and/or not cost a million mana. There's very likely a creature that is well-costed with Extort, or my prospective hybrid-mana double-evolve guy. There's still time for the "Sorcery: Draw a card. Cipher" to be unveiled. There's still a chance something better than a 4/4 Trample for 4 with Bloodrush is in the works (or just a playable Gruul card in general that doesn't involve random tutoring). I think this rumor season -- as we've seen it -- is appealing to the casual crowd that opens boosters with some tournament "cool but maybe not breakers" thrown in with Planeswalkers.

Or maybe our dear Lesurgo's freshman year didn't make the best set, IDK my bff Jill.

[Kaitscralt]

Fuck this noise

[Tom Servo]

I'm not really a fan of these. I'll probably play the primordial in some sort of casual game. Maybe I'll put it in my Horde.
I have a friend that will definitely try to make me hate soul ransom.
