Magic has released there first set in the new card design.  The big change is the addition of ultra rares which is a huge turn off and a bit of a pet peeve as they said years ago they would never do this.  (That was before Harbro bought them and took over so it does not count I guess.)  Like most recent sets it is heavily creature centered with lots of multi colored stuff.  The second worst thing about this set is the powering up of these creatures.  2/1 for 1 and 3/3 for 2 use to be rare but how about 5/4 for 3.   Not good trends for the creature haters.  Well at least they still all die to wraith of god.

10 infest -- It may be a reprint but what is not to like about giving all creatures -2/-2

9 Ad Nauseam -- If you play with cheap things then this card lets you draw a lot of cards for little life.

8 Scourglass -- it is the return of the disk for only 1 more mana?

7 Bant's Charm -- now i could include all the charms as they are all good but htis one is the best.

6 Courier's Capsule -- an artifact you sacrifice for 2 cards seems like there must be a way to break this.

5 Mindlock orb -- Manyt decks seach their libraries every other turn.  Well now how good are your search lands?

4 Violent Ultimatum -- Once more all ultimatums are good but this one may have the three best actions.

3 Tezzeret -- card draw is awesome now it happens every turn.

2 Hindering Light -- counter and draw cards!

1 Memory erosion -- like mill stone only passive.  What a great way to win.
