A little early, but I figured there should be a new thread for the actual spoiler season. (It starts Janurary 27.)

For those who missed it, a new card was officially spoiled this Christmas: https://twitter.com/wizards_magic/status/1474425391418904594

My thoughts Show

Minor story prediction: The Wanderer is the missing Emperor, though that's pretty obvious at this point.

I wonder if Tezzeret will actually appear as a card, seeing as Kaito Shizuki is already there as an UB Planeswalker. Maybe as a "Commander Deck" commander?

Christmas spoiler card Show

Meh. Neither ability really helps Yuriko, other than letting you realistically cast high-CMC creatures like Draco. At least ninjutu's "cost" of returning a creature to your hand lets you reuse ETB effects. And yes, Blightsteel Colossus suckerpunch is obviously a boogey man here. I prefer green and/or red for hand-based cheating.

I am a little surprised that I am not seeing much talk about Reinforced Ronin in Purphoros, God of the Forge EDH decks. He is no Norin the Wary, but he is still repeatable 2 damage (4 damage to one player if he attacks) per turn cycle that can serve as card draw in a pinch.

Hi_diddly_ho_neighbor: The real surprise is that the Ronin doesn't just have Cycling {1}{R}

I wish Light-Paws could fetch from the graveyard too, rebuilding is already rough as it is for EDH Aura-voltron.

I am very displeased that Eiko does not have a card, since every other character who was important to the story has a card in the set.
