i love how they flipped niv and made his activated ability a non tapping damage ability!!
isperia seems lack-luster in standard but shows great potential for WU control in commander

If we had original Niv we would have had a very broken standard. Built this way we'd need a very weird infinite mana combo and even then he'd just be the tool that combo used to win, if we had old Niv all someone would have to do would be to find a Curiosity and then proceed to kill their opponent.
As for Isperia, she's easily usable in standard, against creature deck's she allows you to get the answers you need to beat an aggro opponent's deck and she's also a good aerial beatstick.

Huh. Isperia and Courtly Provocateur and some decent defenders turn her ability in Tap: Draw a card. And you could probably lock it down to their weakest creature if there's a good repeatable source of Detain.

So if Izzet and Azorius weren't looking impressive already, now their mythics also fly and grant them tons of cards. Reminds me of Consecrated Sphinx for some reason.

Gideon Jura has been rumored to be on the plane. If they didn't change much for him his +2 would be nuts.

How about a R/W/U deck for Isperia, Supreme Judge with Curse of the Nightly Hunt ? That sounds like a lot of casual fun. Chromatic Lantern can fix the mana turn three?

Ha! The new niv-mizzet is funny. Switched his ability around xD!

There is artwork spoiled that clearly shows Gideon. Whether or not he's in this set is yet to be seen, but we'll see. I'm personally hoping for a new Gideon entirely. I like Gideon don't get me wrong, but 3 different sets where he is unaltered and only one of those being a core set.

I prefer old Niv for Commander, but this one is a nice Standard finisher. Doesn't die to Augur Spree or Mizzium Mortars either.

All the people talking about Gideon:It is confirmed that there will be a new Gideon in GateCrash, the 2nd set in the RTR block.He is alligned with the Boros Guild; however, it is unconfirmed if he will be WR or stay Mono-W
