        @rikter I know, we did realize the power of the assassin later on but in the beginning it was Craw Wurm, Shivan Dragon and Vesuvan Doppelganger all the way. Oh the memories.....

          Mana Drain as a rare and Berserk as a rare would be nice.

                Strange -- so they changed the text on Winter Orb to work the way that it used to, but the oracle text has not been updated. If they don't update it before the release, wouldn't we have to play the card according to the oracle text?

                  It should be updated tomorrow, I am pretty sure, once the whole new set gets loaded into Gatherer.

                    @SamuelA I couldn't believe what I was seeing when I first saw it spoiled! This will change the 93/94 landscape forever.

                      @Aaron-Patten weren't most events playing with that special errata anyway tho? I guess this at least makes it required across the board...

                        @themonadnomad I follow the Old School M:tG rules and they did not use an errata for it. It's still a good card without the errata. In fact I had finally gotten comfortable with it as a power level errata of sorts. I guess it's time to bust out the Relic Barriers and Icy Manipulators.

                            I am absolutely flabbergasted that the two most oppressively over priced cards on MTGO were not included in this set. There is zero reason those cards should be as ridiculously priced as to be more expensive than all the Power 9. Now, their prices will go up even higher. Dumb move on WotC's part. But then again, I shouldn't be too surprised by their ineptitude.

                                        Am I missing something? Overall, I feel pretty unimpressed...

                                          @letseeker maybe he meant something else, but I know that Port and Misdirection are real high.

                                            This set was always going to be unimpressive because of the reserved list. There's just too many cards that we want to see reprints of that they won't let themselves reprint.

                                            That said, it's even less impressive than it could have been. Where's Misdirection and Rishadan Port? Where's Mana Drain? Where are the Portal tutors? There's a bunch of really obvious includes that they left out. The only reasonable explanation for it I can think of is they wanted to save them for a second set down the line.
