M14 Spoiler - Child of Night, Chandra's Outrage, Rumbling Baloth, Quag Sickness, Claustrophobia, and Pacifism

The lifelinker Child of Night is back in M14! Aside from this, Chandra's Outrage and green's Rumbling Baloth have also been confirmed. Interestingly, Rumbling Baloth reminds me of Ravenous Baloth, once of the decent life-gainer beasts back in Onslaught. I feel old. However, it actually feels nice to see beasts in the core set, as they have been around in casual play, though they made an appearance back in Legions because of the great amplify ability...

Modern Masters Spoiler - Perilous Research, Dampen Thought, Street Wraith, Imperiosaur, and Moldervin Cloak

A thing worth noting here is that all three cards have been downgraded to common. Surely, the power level in Modern Masters is pretty hight. Anyway, Dampen Though is a cheap milling card, while Perilous Research reminds me of , well, Compulsive Research from Ravnica, maybe because of the word "research". In addition, Street Wraight from Future Sight (you know, the set that had Tarmogoyf) is back! A free draw, with that 2 life to pay...

Modern Masters [MM] Spoiler: Kitchen Finks, Relic of Progenitus, Manamorphose, and Spell Snare

One of the best G/W early game creatures around, aside from Wiltleaf Cavaliers, Watchwolf and Steward of Valeron is back for Modern Masters. Yup, Kitchen Finks. Consequently, Relic of Progenitus, a rather pricy common nowadays, is also confirmed. MM versions of the cards are still not available as of the time being. The ouphe is probably once of the nicest G/W uncommons out there. It's a 3/2 for 3 mana, and it comes back as a 2/1 if it would be put...

Modern Masters [MM] Spoiler: Electrolyze, Lightning Helix, Path to Exile, Divinity of Pride, Demigod of Revenge, and Aether Vial

The first theme deck I ever bought was the one from Guildpact. It had Electrolyze, it was a nifty uncommon with a great art. Oh, how I loved using it along with Wee Dragonauts and Gelectrode for casual play. Anyway, I used Boros after that, and Boros Deck Wins staple Lightning Helix is also in Modern Masters! And another famous uncommon, Path to Exile, also unsurprisingly made it to the list! MM versions of the cards are still not available as of...

Modern Masters [MM] Spoiler - Death Cloud, Life from the Loam, and Lotus Bloom

Golgari's famous Life from the Loam has been confirmed in Modern Masters. But what's nice here is Lotus Bloom, which, along with Dragonstorm and the Kamigawa dragons, seems to be making a point that the Dragonstorm decks are poised for a comeback. And yeah, Death Cloud is in. MM versions of the cards are still not available as of the time being. I don't actually see Death Cloud as seeing much play, except for the casual one. I would actually prefer...

Modern Masters [MM] Spoiler - Engineered Explosives, Skeletal Vampire, and Woodfall Primus

From Guildpact's Skeletal Vampire (which was used in Orzhov control decks back in the days) to the weenie-killing/token-slaughtering Engineered Explosives and to the let-me-get-back-in-the-field-to-destroy-one-more Woodfall Primus, Modern Masters surely is something. MM edition of the cards not yet available though. When it comes to the artifact that could freely kill all tokens, one should not worry with the mana to be used for sunburst if you have...

Modern Masters Spoiler: Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker, Sarkhan Vol, Progenitus, Vendilion Clique, Sword of Light and Shadow and the Kamigawa Dragons

Remember when Yosei, the Morning Star was used in G/W Selesnya  decks during the World Championships? Well, the whole Kamigawa Dragons cycle (Kokusho, the Evening Star, Ryusei, the Falling Star, Jugan, the Rising Star, Keiga, the Tide Star, and Yosei, the Morning Star) is back in Modern Masters. Aside from that, Progenitus (good, because Summoner's Pact is in the set too!), Sword of Light and Shadow, Vendilion Clique (annoyingly good), Sarkhan...
