The fetchlands are far and away the number 1 cards in the set. Honestly i find this entire set underwhelming, especially the legends. I’ve been waiting years for a wedge set. I’m ok with WotC taking the power level down a notch for a set, but this was not the one to do it to.

I think that everyone is undervaluing Sarkhan. I believe he is that good. If he’s not number one, what card is? Thoughts?

Exactly. That’s why I like it. 🙂
As mentioned above, I think Siege Rhino should be in the number 10 spot though.

The biggest problem with the Pheonix is that if it dies will face down..it doesn’t come back…so you’re paying 4 mana for a 4/1 flyer (without haste) and when it dies you get a 2/2…

That thing hits HARD.

I think this phoenix is much better than the other phoenix. Magma Spray and Anger of the Gods may prove too much to fight through. As a card, I think it’s good though, but the format may be too hostile for it.

I think also that I would have to agree Siege Rhino is definitely better than it and should have been at number 10 instead of the phoenix.

Doesn’t have haste, dies to Anger of the Gods and Magma Spray (as well as a bunch of exile removal), Morph ability only hits opponents. Remember Flame-Wreathed Phoenix? That card didn’t do squat. I’d rather run Chandra if I wanted a 2RR card in my curve.

The more I see Siege Rhino. the more I think maybe it should have been in the top 10. My original argument about matching up poorly against a premier threat (polukranos) is still valid though.

Why don’t you like phoenix?

Would’ve rather seen Sagu Mauler and Utter End in those spots. Thoughts on Sorin? He seems like an ok role player in a tokens deck.

Interesting. I didn’t think about using rattleclaw in a non-green deck. I doubt that will happen much in Standard but it is quite a relevant point for reference. I wouldn’t be surprised to see it in an off color sealed deck though.
