Theros Spoilers – Anger of the Gods, Dauntless Onslaught, Firedr...

Anger of the Gods

Definitely a good sweeper at 3 damage to each creature but the real appeal of this one is the exile clause which is certain to help it find play.

Dauntless Onslaught

Not all that impressive but as a combat trick in limited may find some use.

Firedrinker Satyr

Presenting the neo-Jackal Pup…it’s hard to say if this guy will pan out to be good enough to steal a spot in Red Deck Wins but with it’s pump ability might have a chance.

Keepsake Gorgon

While it is very expensive cost wise it does have a place beside Hythonia to be able to pick off any additional creatures after her Monstrosity sweeper effect.

Triad of Fates

While it does seem to take some time to get the abilities running there is no doubt that it can be built around and abused.  With an untap ability like Magewright’s Stone or Jandor’s Saddlebags you’re able to fire off either ability in one shot.  And the last ability can be used either as draw or removal, depending on the need.

Theros Spoilers – Agent of the Fates, Fabled Hero, Nessian Cours...

Agent of the Fates

Now this is a Heroic ability that I can really get behind.  Very good stats as well for the cost.

Fabled Hero

With every trigger of Heroic essentially equating to a +2/+2 he should definitely see some kind of standard play.  It’s also pretty cool how he becomes a one shot kill with Enlarge into an empty board.

Nessian Courser

Pretty standard vanilla 3/3.

Ordeal of ErebosOrdeal of HeliodOrdeal of NyleaOrdeal of PurphorosOrdeal of Thassa

All five of the Ordeals look to have good effect.  I could see the red playing a role in aggressive Boros/RDW style decks for extra reach.  All should be midround draftable.

Prognostic Sphinx

Not a terrible flying body with the ability to protect itself on a whim.  Scry 3 is certainly nothing to laugh at but not overly impressive as a total package.

Soldier of the Pantheon

As a one-drop with 2 power I don’t doubt it has a chance to see play in White Weenie decks.  The protection can be very relevant in the proper circumstances and life gain is always a bonus extra.

Demonheart Chimera

Flying, trample

Demonheart Chimera’s power is equal to the number of instant and sorcery cards in your graveyard

Swan Song

Counter target enchantment, instant or sorcery spell. Its controller puts a 2/2 blue Bird creature token with flying onto the battlefield under his control.

Theros Spoilers – Akroan Horse, Dissolve, Fanatic of Mogis, Favo...

Akroan Horse

I love the flavor of this card, an excellent ode to the Trojan horse.

Dissolve

This is definitely a weapon that control decks will be using.  Scry is exactly what you want on a counterspell.

Fanatic of Mogis

Could very easily find a way into Red Deck Wins style decks.  Imagine Legion Loyalist into Ash Zealot into Boros Reckoner into Fanatic of Mogis kind of shenanigans.

Favored Hoplite

Another one of those build around Heroic cards.  Might find some kind of niche play.

Heliod’s Emissary

Interesting cards these Bestow creatures.  This one has a pretty useful ability.

Spear of Heliod

Basically a Glorious Anthem with upside.  This ability will definitely cause a few big creatures to think twice about attacking.

Tormented Hero

A pretty sweet one-drop for black, albeit not exactly in a well supported tribe for that color.  Can gain you some incremental advantage if you can abuse it well.  Definitely draftable if you are running a fair amount of combat tricks.

Whip of Erebos

WOW !!!  I love all of these Weapons of the Gods, but this is just sickeningly powerful.  I have no doubt that this card is going to be used to astonishing effect.  The Lifelink is just the icing on the cake.
