[BNG] Spoiler: Fanatic of Xenagos and Fated Intervention

Two cards have been found just recently, with one being in a French version and the other is supposedly in Japanese. Both of them seem to be part of a cycle. The first one, Fanatic of Xenagos, seems to be the green/red counterpart of the gree/blue Kiora's follower. So, expect three more "worshippers", one for each god in BNG, to complete the cycle. For now, Fanatic of Xenagos is the best tribute card out there right now. It could either be a 3/3 for 2RG with haste and trample and a temporary +1/+1 which is good for aggro, or it could be a 4/4 for 2RG with trample. A really good card to cascade to for casual play.

The next card, which is Fated Intervention in English, is also part of a "fated cycle", with red having Fated Flames and white having Fated Retribution, which both deal with creatures and planeswalkers. I could see this getting some play, since surprise 3/3 centaur blockers can easily change the game. Moreover, it's really easy to mana ramp and bring out these guys, and it can have scry 2 if it was cast on your turn. It is a good defense against a mass removal.
