Aven Riftwatcher - 2W
Creature - Bird Rebel Soldier (C)
Flying
Vanishing 3
When Aven Riftwatcher comes into play or leaves play, you gain 2 life.
2/3
Illus. Don Hazeltine
#1/165

It's a bit expensive to pay 3 mana just to have a 2/3 for 3 turn, and win 4 life. It's awfully good to pay 3 mana to have a 2/3 flyer for 3 turn and win 4 life, 8 if you momentary blink it. Moreover, it's a Rebel.

 

Dawn Charm - 1W
Instant (C)
Choose one - Prevent all combat damage that would be dealt this turn; or regenerate target creature; or counter target spell that targets you.
Illus. John Avon
#4/165

For a 2cc, you can fog, or prevent a discard ability (regenerate is more casual). Moreover, its cc allows it to be imprinted under a Isochron Scepter. Definitely a good side card.

 

Ghost Tactician - 4W
Creature - Spirit Spellshaper (C)
{W} , {T} , Discard a card: Creatures you control get +1/+0 until end of turn.
2/5
Illus. Zoltan Boros & Gabor Szikszai
#6/165

Way too expensive by itself, its ability is way too weak to remember...

 

Pallid Mycoderm - 3W
Creature - Fungus (C)
At the beginning of your upkeep, put a spore counter on Pallid Mycoderm.
Remove three spore counters from Pallid Mycoderm: put a 1/1 green Saproling creature token into play.
Sacrifice a Saproling: Each Fungus and each Saproling you control gets +1/+1 until end of turn.
2/4
Illus. Jim Nelson
#10/165

Fungi come to white. No big deal, since the " wait 3 turn, do something" is way too slow in PEZ, since you can access to the Rare cards that doubles counters.

 

Poultice Sliver - 2W
Creature - Sliver (C)
All Slivers have "{2},{T}: Regenerate target Sliver."
2/2
Illus. Randy Gallegos
#11/165

Regenerate is one of the worst ability in Magic. This sliver is not worth it.

 

Saltfield Recluse - 2W
Creature - Human Rebel Cleric (C)
{T}: Target creature gets -2/-0 until end of turn.
He remembers a past of light and healing. But he lives the bitter present—parching salt, scouring wind, and the withering heat of the desert.
1/2
#16/165

Erk. Children of Korlis are just better.

 

Shade of Trokair - 3W
Creature - Shade Warrior (C)
{W} : Shade of Trokair gets +1/+1 until end of turn.
Suspend 3 - {W} Rather than play this card from your hand, you may pay {W} and remove it from the game with three time counters on it. At the beginning of your upkeep, remove a time counter. When the last is removed, play it without paying its mana cost. It has haste.)
1/2
Illus. William O'Connor
#18/165

Nobody plays Frozen shade. Would anyone play this ? Not in WW, maybe in some MWC, but the deck seems hardly doable in PEZ - no Wrath, remember.

 

Whitemane Lion - 1W
Creature - Cat (C)
Flash (You may play this spell any time you could play an instant.)
When Whitemane Lion comes into play, return a creature you control to its owner's hand.
Saltfield nomads call a sudden storm a "whitemane."
2/2
#22/165

A 2/2 for 2, instant speeded with a taste of Shrieking Drake ? Well... why not ? It could be some nice trick, but a little bit expensive. A 1/1 for 1 would have been great, but it's a card advantage generator after all : you save your creature, and put another one in play : two for one.

 

Mana Tithe - W
Instant (C)
Counter target spell unless its controller pays {1}.
Illus. Martina Pilcerova
#25/165

Fun, but casual I guess. Maybe WW can put it as a side card, but Dawn Charm seems better at this, being a hard counter. Anyway, could create some nice surprises against the first turn Duress or Quirion Ranger...

 

Revered Dead - 1W
Creature - Soldier Spirit (C)
{W}: Regenerate Revered Dead.
1/1
Illus. Ron Spears
#29/165

White Dredge Skeletons. You don't play black ones. Rebels are better than Soldiers. Nomad Phantom auto-regenerates... As I just said, White dredge skeltons.

 

Sinew Sliver - 1W
Creature - Sliver (C)
All Slivers get +1/+1.
While the tendons of the creature stretched, Hanna noticed with horror an identical movement of flesh on the others. Ignoring what she had wanted to say, she warned Sisay to keep the ship at a safe distance.
1/1
Illus. Steven Belledin
#30/165

Ouch ! Now, you can play eight Muscle Sliver ! That's a lot. That's awful. WUG slivers with Gemhide, Winged and these might be an Aggro power house. Be prepared to battle the hive again.

 

Sunlance - W
Sorcery (C)
Sunlance deals 3 damage to target nonwhite creature.
#31/165

A 3 damage for 1 ? It's not Lightning bolt, since it only targets non-white creatures, but it could be a good Swords to plowshare-like common card.

 

Blue

Aquamorph Entity - 2UU
Creature - Shapeshifter (C)
As Aquamorph Entity comes into play or is turned face up, it becomes 5/1 or 1/5.
Morph {2}{U}
*/*
Illus. Brian Despain
#33/165

As a "wall", it's pretty expensive. As a beater, it's pretty fragile. Spire golem and Drift of Phantasms, which both bring better options, won't bother at this newcomer.

 

Dreamscape Artist - 1U
Creature - Human Spellshaper (C)
{2}{U},{T}, Discard a card, sacrifice a land: Search your library for up to two basic land cards and put them into play. Then shuffle your library.
1/1
#40/165

Uh ? Land-tutoring in blue ? Nice ! Indeed, the cost is high (3 mana, tap the thing, sacrifice a land AND discarding a card). But couldn't it be nice in PEZ Tog ? What about trading this island for another one and a swamp, AND filling the graveyard for Big Teeth ? To be tested.

 

Erratic Mutation - 2U
Instant (C)
Choose target creature.
Reveal cards from the top of your library until you reveal a nonland card. Target creature gets +X/-X until end of turn where X is the converted mana cost of the revealed card. Put all cards revealed this way on the bottom of your library in any order.
Illus. Zoltan Boros & Gabor Szikszai
#41/165

As a boost, it's quite dangerous, as a removal, it's quite erratic, as the card reads.

 

Reality Acid - 2U
Enchantment - Aura (C)
Enchant permanent
Vanishing - 3
When Reality Acid leaves play, the controller of enchanted permanent sacrifices it.
Illus. James Wong
#45/165

One of the very few removal in blue. Unfortunately, it's awfully slow. You will bounce the threat and counter its next casting four times before this thing triggers.

[edit] : Indeed, as said in the comments, if you can afford to bounce and recast Reality acid, it becomes a Vindicate like for a 4cc in mono blue. Good potential, but a bit expensive, unless the bounce is under a Scepter. Casting cost is higher, but you've got a versatile lock.

 

Shaper Parasite - 1UU
Creature - Illusion (C)
Morph {2}{U}.
When Shaper Parasite is turned face up, target creature gets +2/-2 or -2/+2 until end of turn.
2/3
Illus. rk Post
#46/165

Too expensive for such a weak effect.

 

Synchronous Sliver - 4U
Creature - Sliver (C)
All slivers have vigilance.
"With a twitch of its muscles, its timeline forks. Then, just as quickly, its two selves reintigrate. Causality, strangly, seems not to mind."
—Rukarumel, field journal
3/3
Illus. E. M. Gist
#48/165

Vigilance is a great ability. Even greater when you think of the interaction with Telekeinetic Sliver. But 5cc for a 3/3 is just too much to pay.

 

Veiling Oddity - 3U
Creature - Illusion (C)
Suspend 4 - {1}{U} Rather than play this card from your hand, you may pay {1}{U} and remove it from the game with four time counters on it. At the beginning of your upkeep, remove a time counter. When the last is removed, play it without paying its mana cost. It has haste.)
When you remove the last time counter from Veiling Oddity, if it's removed from the game, creatures can't be blocked until end of turn.
2/3
Illus. Dave DeVries
#51/165

Suspend a aggro trick seems quite strange in blue, but with slivers, who knows ? Seems rather casual though.

 

Wistful Thinking - 2U
Sorcery (C)
Target player draws two cards, then discards four cards.
"To probe the wonders of the multiverse, to gaze upon worlds unspoiled by blade or spell...it's enough to make one weep for the possibilities denied."
Illus. Brian Despain
#53/165

One of my favorite from PC. It's a mini millstone, a big Hymn to Tourach, it's common and only 3cc. I just wonder where it could fit ? In some BU Rack version of Satin doll ? I'll give it a try.

 

Gossamer Spirit - 1U
Creature - Illusion (C)
Flying
When Gossamer Spirit becomes the target of a spell or ability, sacrifice it.
2/1
#55/165

Strictly worse than Flying Man.

 

Merfolk Thaumaturgist - 2U
Creature - Merfolk Shaman (C)
{T}: Switch target creature's power and toughness until end of turn.
1/2
Illus. Steve Prescott
#56/165

This is an interesting alternative to Crookclaw Transmuter or About face in Life decks. Its advantage are it's slightly cheaper than the Transmuter, and can be used any numbers of time. But it's way much slower.

 

Piracy Charm - U
Instant (C)
Choose one — Target creature gains islandwalk until end of turn; or target creature gets +2/-1 until end of turn; or target player discards a card.
Illus. John Avon
#58/165

The islandwalk thing is just crap, or so casual you can forget it. The boost/removal might be interesting, but the discard thing at instant speed is the main interest in this card : blue has now 2 discard spells. Is it enough to build a deck around this ? Tempting, but no success guaranteed. Could be a nice side card in UB Tendrils, though.

 

Primal Plasma - 3U
Creature - Elemental Shapeshifter (C)
Primal Plasma comes into play as your choice of a 3/3 creature; a 2/2 creature with flying; or a 1/6 creature with defender.
*/*
Illus. Luca Zontini
#59/165

Primal clay was a rare artefact, now it's a Common Elemental Shapeshifter. Won't make it more played...

 

Black

Blightspeaker - 1B
Creature - Human Rebel Cleric (C)
{T}: Target player loses 1 life.
{4} , {T}: Search your library for a Rebel card with converted mana cost 3 or less and put it into play. Then shuffle your library.
1/1
Illus. Ron Spears
#64/165

As in Prophecy, black rebels show up in Planar Chaos. Its lifeloss ability is interesting, and make it useful at all stages of the game. But it's a bit slow to make it played.

 

Brain Gorgers - 3B
Creature - Zombie (C)
When you play Brain Gorgers, any player may sacrifice a creature. If a player does, counter Brain Gorgers.
Madness {1}{B} (If you discard this card, you may play it for its madness cost instead of putting it into your graveyard.)
In spite of their hunger, they're slow eaters.
4/2
Illus. Kev Walker
#65/165

It sounds as a Madness'ed Diabolic Edict, or a common Nekraatal. But the edict effect being optionnal, I guess it won't be played. Too bad, sounded fun.

 

Cradle to Grave - 1B
Instant (C)
Destroy target nonblack creature that came into play this turn.
#67/165

On paper, it's a good removal. In reality, it has serious adversaries, Diabolic edict being the first. Maybe it will help counter some instant threats, but I can't see any at first think being. Goblin Warchief, perhaps ? Anyway, it's a narrow spectrum for playing this.

 

Dash Hopes - BB
Instant (C)
When you play Dash Hopes, any player may pay 5 life. If a player does, counter Dash Hopes.
Counter target spell.
Illus. Zoltan Boros & Gabor Szikszai
#68/165

The famous Black Counterspell everybody heard about. We all know about these choice spells : if you play them to counter your opponent key spell, he will pay the 5 life. The right use of Dash Hopes would be to counter the first spell of your opponent, just to bother him. Is it enough for this to see play, in some Mono Black, balancing between Control and Aggro ? Not sure.

 

Deadly Grub - 2B
Creature - Insect (C)
Vanishing 3
When Deadly Grub is put into a graveyard from play, if it has no time counters on it, put a 6/1 green Insect creature token into play that has "this creature can't be the target of spells or abilities."
3/1
Illus. E. M. Gist
#69/165

3 mana, wait 3 turn, just to get a Deadly Insect token ? Well... play Deadly insect, boy, it was a common in Masques of Mercadia !

 

Midnight Charm - B
Instant (C)
Choose one - Midnight Charm deals 1 damage to target creature and you gain 1 life; or target creature gains first strike until end of turn; or tap target creature.
Illus. John Avon
#74/165

Nice, but not enough.

 

Ridged Kusite - B
Creature - Horror Spellshaper (C)
{1}{B} , {T} , Discard a card: Target creature gets +1/+0 and gains first strike until end of turn.
1/1
Illus. R. K. Post
#78/165

Ugly, expensive and uneffective.

 

Spitting Sliver - 4B
Creature - Sliver (C)
All slivers have first strike.
"Our lances' reach had been our saving grace in our fight against the hive. Now even that advantage is taken from us."
—Adom Capashen, Benalish knight
3/3
Illus. Steve Ellis
#80/165

Err... Isn't Tallon sliver way much cheaper ?

 

Bog Serpent - 5B
Creature - Serpent (C)
Bog Serpent can't attack unless defending player controls a Swamp.
When you control no Swamps, sacrifice Bog Serpent.
5/5
Illus. Thomas M. Baxa
#84/165

No comment.

 

Melancholy - 2B
Enchantment - Aura (C)
Enchant creature
When Melancholy comes into play, tap enchanted creature.
Enchanted creature doesn't untap during its controller's untap step.
At the beginning of your upkeep, sacrifice Melancholy unless you pay {B}.
Illus. Lars Grant-West
#88/165

Paralyze is just better.

 

Rathi Trapper - 1B
Creature - Human Rebel Rogue (C)
{B} , {T}: Tap target creature.
1/2
Illus. Pete Venters
#90/165

I've always seen Master decoy as a defensive guy, White Winnie having too many evasion creatures to line up, to need a defending creature removal. So I ask : since when Black bothers with defense ?

 

Shrouded Lore - B
Sorcery (U)
An opponent chooses a card in your graveyard. You may pay {B}. If you do, that opponent chooses a card not already chosen for Shrouded Lore. You may repeat this process any number of times. Put the last chosen card in your hand.
#91/165

I let this one in because it might sound interesting. I don't think it actually is. In PEZ, you can play Forgotten lore, but Regrowth is just better, and you don't play any one of these in the end : you play Eternal Witness. Here is the same : Shrouded Lore can't stand before Demonic Tutor or Demonic Consultation. So you'd better forget it.

 

Vampiric Link - B
Enchantment - Aura (C)
Whenever enchanted creature deals damage, you gain that much life.
Illus. Kev Walker
#92/165

If you really need to play a life point source in a black deck, I'd suggest Mourning thrull, rather than this Timeshifted Spirit link.

 

Red

Battering Sliver - 5R
Creature - Sliver (C)
All Slivers have trample.
Covered with hard shell-like plates, these slivers burrow through solid rock to carve out new nests for their hive.
4/4
Illus. Greg Staples
#95/165

Horned Sliver is cheaper, though weaker. But the Horned one fits in the 3 most used color for a Sliver deck.

 

Dust Corona - R
Enchantment - Aura (C)
Enchant creature
Enchanted creature gets +2/+0 and can't be blocked by creatures with flying.
"They infiltrated deep into the enemy camp under cover of darkness...and dirt."
—Corus, Viashino warrior
Illus. Luca Zontini
#97/165

A boost and evasion trick, to be put on a flyer or so. It's not Rancor, and there are so few flyers to block your own that you'd better play Rancor.

 

Firefright Mage - R
Creature - Goblin Spellshaper (C)
{1}{R} , {T} , Discard a card: Target creature can't be blocked this turn except by artifact creatures and/or red creatures.
After millenia of advancement in goblin military theory, Toggo VI realized that almost everyone is afraid of fire.
1/1
Illus. Greg Staples
#99/165

Fire Fear ? You will need a really big critter to need it. Ornithopter already has flying, and most of the R/G things are trampling...

 

Fury Charm - 1R
Instant (C)
Choose one - destroy target artifact; or target creature gets +1/+1 and gains trample until end of turn; or remove two time counters from target permanent or suspended card.
Illus. John Avon
#100/165

This is one of the big thing from PC : it's an enhanced Shatter. The +1/+1 and trample thing makes it avalaible in main deck for Aggro Gobelin, RG Beats and the like. There might be something to work out with the time counters thing, but it currently looks more casual (we should wait and see if Fading is errated to have time counters...) Get your playset of these, just in case.

 

Keldon Marauders - 1R
Creature - Human Warrior (C)
Vanishing 2 (This creature comes into play with two time counters on it. At the beginning of your upkeep, remove a time counter from it. When you remove the last, sacrifice it.)
When Keldon Marauders comes into play or leaves play, it deals 1 damage to target player.
3/3
Illus. Alex Horley-Orlandelli
#102/165

Another big thing for RG Beats, ready to trigger Scab Clan Mauler's Bloodthirst. And a 3/3 for 2cc, plus a pinger, is a nice thing anyway. All it needs is a Concordant crossroads or Reckless Charge to make it fully usefull.

 

Lavacore Elemental - 2R
Creature - Elemental (U)
Vanishing 1
Whenever a creature you control deals damage to an opponent, you may put a time counter on Lavacore Elemental.
5/3
#103/165

A 5/3 for 3, this Unco could be worth it in a very neatly build RG Beats. Is it enough to sacrifice a unco slot ? Not so sure. But definetely needs testing.
[Edit] After a few thinking (happens sometimes), Lavacore Elemental has a serious challenger, or may be L.E. is just a challenger to : Ball Lightning (unco in The Dark). In mono red, Ball is just better, since you don't have any creature of so few... But in RG Beats, you shouldn't be out fo these. Even a Fog can be ruined by a Mogg Fanatic. Always the same : needs testing. A Reckless charge by a Lavacore Elemental sounds so nice...

 

Needlepeak Spider - 3R
Creature - Spider (C)
Needlepeak Spider can block as though it had flying.
4/2
Illus. Dany Orizio
#105/165

Giant Spider - aka the Goal Keeper - isn't played. Why this one should be ?

 

Stingscourger - 1R
Creature - Goblin Warrior (C)
When Stingscourger comes into play, return target creature an opponent controls to its owner's hand.
Echo {3}{R}
2/2
Illus. Wayne Reynolds
#107/165

First known as "Man'o'War Gobelin", this guy has a nice effect, but can't be use for Combo or interactions effects. This restriction, plus the Echo cost, makes it unlikely to play.

 

Dead // Gone - R // 2R
Instant (C)
Dead deals 2 damage to target creature.
//
Return target creature you don't control to its owner's hand.
Illus. Tomas Giorello
#113/165

Shock plus a defensive boomerang. Might see play as a side in Burn.

 

Brute Force - R
Instant (C)
Target creature gets +3/+3 until end of turn.
Blood, bone and sinew are magnified, as is the rage that drives them. The brain, however, remains unchanged—a little bean, swinging by a strand in a cavernous, raving head.
#116/165

Another boost for Goblin Sligh or R/G Beats. Nice if you want to lower your green part, useless otherwise : Seal of Strength, Giant Growth and Reckless Charge do better job.

 

Prodigal Pyromancer - 2R
Creature - Human Wizard (C)
{T}: Prodigal Pyromancer deals 1 damage to target creature or player.
1/1
Illus. Jeremy Jarvis
#118/165

This Timeshifted Prodigal Sorcerer comes out after Vulshok Sorceress and Martyr of ashes : too late.

 

Pyrohemia - 2RR
Enchantment (U)
At end of turn, if no creatures are in play, sacrifice Pyrohemia.
{R}: Pyrohemia deals 1 damage to each creature and each player.
#119/165

Pestilence in red, but as an unco. Too bad, but to be remembered. May be in Burn, without neither Isochron Scepter nor Strip Mine.

 

Simian Spirit Guide - 2R
Creature - Ape Spirit (C)
Remove Simian Spirit Guide in your hand from the game: Add {R} to your mana pool.
2/2
Illus. Greg DeVries
#122/165

Red has, at least on paper, better cards than any other colors in PC. This red Elvish Spirit Guide prooves it once again, and might be one of the best addition to many decks that needs Red Mana Acceleration. It could even replace Lotus Petal in Mono red Decks using Martyr of Ashes.

 

Skirk Shaman - 1RR
Creature - Goblin Shaman (C)
Skirk Shaman can't be blocked except by artifact creatures and/or red creatures.
2/2
#123/165

A Fire Fear Goblin. Nice but expensive. One Red mana less would have make it great. At 3cc, it is just useless, goblin decks being generating hordes of tokens. Having one among thousands unblockable is not that decisive.

 

Green

Citanul Woodreaders - 2G
Creature - Human Druid (C)
Kicker {2}{G}
When Citanul Woodreaders comes into play, if its kicker cost was paid, draw 2 cards.
1/4
Illus. Stephen Belledin
#125/165

Draw is not Green big thing. It won't be with this one as it needs 6 mana to bring in a 1/4 and draw 2. I'd rather bounce and recast a Wall of blossoms for same effect and less mana.

 

Evolution Charm - 1G
Instant (C)
Choose one - Target creature gains flying until end of turn; or Search your library for a basic land card, reveal that card, and put it into your hand. Then shuffle your library; or Return target creature card from your graveyard to your hand.
Illus. John Avon
#127/165

Targeted Regrowth, land tutoring, flight-like... a little bit of everything, but not enough of anything.

 

Giant Dustwasp - 3GG
Creature - Insect (C)
Flying
Suspend 4 {1}{G} Rather than play this card from your hand, you may pay {1}{G} and remove it from the game with four time counters on it. At the beginning of your upkeep, remove a time counter. When the last is removed, play it without paying its mana cost. It has haste.)
3/3
Illus. Greg Hildebrandt
#129/165

A 3/3 flying, with haste, casted at turn 2 and in play at turn 6 ? You must be joking ?

 

Kavu Predator - 1G
Creature - Kavu (U)
Trample
Whenever an opponent gains life, put that many +1/+1 counters on Kavu Predator.
2/2
Illus. Dan Scott
#132/165

This one is nice : 2/2 trample for 2cc, with a nice ability. Too bad it's an unco. It has a very nice interaction with Revigorate, forces Life deck to switch to kill mode, and makes the WellWisher ability a default for the elf player, though. May be some very aggressive green stompy could be built around this guy. Or not.

 

Mire Boa - 1G
Creature - Snake (C)
Swampwalk
{G}: Regenerate Mire Boa.
Mire slime courses through its veins in place of blood. No sooner does it bleed than it opens its mouth to replace the loss.
2/1
Illus. Greg Hildebrandt
#135/165

River boa was nice, but of limited use. Mire boa might see play in heavily black metagame.

 

Reflex Sliver - 3G
Creature - Sliver (C)
All Slivers have Haste.
"This sliver comes into the world a perfect predator. It's ready to hunt and devour its first meal within seconds of hatching."
—Rukarumel, field journal
2/2
Illus. Luca Zontini
#138/165

Ok, it's Green, I told you twice a PEZ sliver deck should be WUG and Heart Sliver is red. Ok, this one is a 2/2 and Heart is only a 1/1. But this one is 4cc, and Heart is 2cc. Period.

 

Uktabi Drake - G
Creature - Drake (C)
Flying, haste
Echo {1}{G}{G} (At the beginning of your upkeep, if this came under your control since the beginning of your last upkeep, sacrifice it unless you pay its echo cost.)
2/1
Illus. Matt Cavotta
#141/165

Nice turn one, but what else with such an echo cost ? May be in Tortured existence, where it could be there almost every turn from turn 1. Needs testing in this very specific deck.

 

Utopia Vow - 1G
Enchantment - Aura (C)
Enchant creature
Enchanted creature can't attack or block.
Enchanted creature has "{T}: Add one mana of any color to your mana pool."
"I'll guard this fruit and its seedling until the land is healed. My life now belongs to Dominaria."
Illus. Heather Hudson
#142/165

It's Pacifism, but with the huge counterpart you make one of your opponent's creature a Birds of Paradise. It's a common Paradise Mantle, but with higher casting cost and with the Pacifism counter part. So we can guess it's nothing.

 

Vitaspore Thallid - 1G
Creature - Fungus (C)
At the beginning of your upkeep, put a spore counter on Vitaspore Thallid.
Remove three spore counters from Vitaspore Thallid: Put a 1/1 green Saproling creature token into play.
Sacrifice a Saproling: Target creature gains haste until end of turn.
1/1
Illus. Christopher Moeller
#143/165

Haste would be a great addition to the Thallid deck. If one existed.

 

Essence Warden - G
Creature - Elf Shaman (C)
Whenever another creature comes into play, you gain 1 life.
1/1
Illus. Terese Nielsen
#145/165

Nice ! Soul Ward becomes green AND an elf. You think "ElfClamp" and then test it. And then you regret your WellWisher. Ok the Onslaught girl is slower, more expensive, but it makes you gain tremendous amount of life every turn. You will have to find another place to use this one. May be in RG Beats (but it would be wiser to blast your opponent) or in Tortured existence, where the great number of creatures can trigger the Warden ability.

 

Fa’adiyah Seer - 1G
Creature - Human Shaman (C)
{T}: Draw a card and reveal it. If it isn't a land, discard that card.
1/1
Illus. Heather Hudson
#146/165

Remember Hermit Druid ? This is just the same, but it's common, and you just draw or discard one. Anyway, it's awfully powerful. Either you fill your graveyard up with powerfull tools, letting you reach threshold, for instance, or you just get your land. It surely needs for the right deck to fully express its possibility, and once again I'd think about Tortured Existence, but there might be some others to find out.

 

Healing Leaves - G
Instant (C)
Choose one - Target player gains 3 life; or prevent the next 3 damage that would be dealt to target creature or player this turn.
Illus. Michael Suftin
#150/165

Healing salve in green isn't likely to see play, since green has Nourrish to give 6 life for GG, and green creatures are the most regenerating ones, or untargetable. Maybe in a Kavu Predator deck... ok I was kidding...

 

Keen Sense - G
Enchantment - Aura (U)
Enchant Creature
Whenever the enchanted creature deals damage to a player, you may draw a card.
Illus. Jim Nelson
#152/165

Damn ! This is curious (bad pun, indeed). Stompy might need this, since it has very few drawers, and has spare unco slots. It could be powerful too in a RG Beats including Vulshok Sorceress or the like, or on any beating creature. May be a French Elf Deck (read : without the newly Ban SkullClamp) could use this too. The green color gives it a potential that blue has not, at least in monocolored decks.

 

Seal of Primordium - 1G
Enchantment (C)
Sacrifice Seal of Primordium: Destroy target artifact or enchantment

As Seal of Cleansing is simply better than Disenchant, Seal of Primordium is simply better than Naturalize. A must have.

Cautery Sliver - RW
Creature - Sliver (U)
All Slivers have "{1}, Sacrifice this creature: This creature deals 1 damage to target creature or player."
All Slivers have "{1}, Sacrifice this creature: Prevent the next 1 damage that would be dealt to target Sliver or player this turn."
2/2
#154/165

This is the one sliver you should have in red, as it allows combo kill. Gemhide Sliver plus Cautery Sliver means as much damage to target player as slivers on your side. A powerhouse, way much powerfull than Acidic Sliver which was jus one mana too expensive to activate.

 

Dark Heart Sliver - BG
Creature - Sliver (U)
All Slivers have "Sacrifice this creature: Gain 3 Life"

Tortured existence use Dark heart of the wood has a life source. Could it use this sliver in remplacement ? May be. Otherwise, the life gain isn't the first goal of sliver, and as an unco, you can't afford to use it as a side card.

 

Necrotic Sliver - 1WB
Creature - Sliver (U)
Each sliver has "{3}, sacrifice this creature: Destroy target permanent."
2/2

Vindicate on a 2/2 body ? Sounds cool until you see the activation cost. Too bad :(

 

In summary

There is a lot of interesting card in PC. A lot of them open new opportunites to not-so-big decks, and should better them. It is too early to say if some of these decks will become major actors, but at first sight, Tortured existence and R/G Beats should run way faster than before.

White gets a lot of nice cards, but much are side ones.
Blue, acceding to discard, may try a MUC Rack deck, based on counters and discard, but it seems a bit slow.
Black, with no real addition, is the great looser of this extension. Its best cards are Rare, with Damnation - black Wrath of god - and a Split Second Cranial Extraction for B, targeting a card in graveyard.
Red could sum up to Simian Spirit Guide, but it also has nice critters and tools for Aggro decks.
Green wins a "build around me" card with Fa’adiyah Seer, and nice tools to be used in specific metagames.
