The mothership has just officially unveiled three new BNG cards The first one, Spirit of the Labyrinth, would probably one of the chase rares of the set. It has a 3/1 body for a mere 1W, and it has an ability that essentially slows down opponents that have card advantage as their winning strategy such as those using Whispering Madness and Notion Thief, which are also cards that go against the card-drawing of opponents. Will I get one of these? Of course. The real question is how much will this card be, and in what decks will this be played in.
The next card reminds me Guildpact's Gigadrowse. It allows you to prevent enemy creatures from attacking during the opponent's turn, or you can use it during your turn in order for your creatures to be able to directly attack the opponent or his/her planeswalkers. It really seems that Born of the Gods is the set of goodie uncommons, and this card is no exception to that collection. With its scry 1 ability, it makes sense to have it as an uncommon. Moreover, the flavor text is interesting too. "Better to be beneath Heliod's notice than beneath his heel." Are his worshipers saying that it is better that they are essentially unable to move in the eyes of Heliod, rather than be trampled by the sun god? Perhaps.
The last card is one of those exquisite WUBRG rares (well, in this case, mythic rare) that would join the ranks of Sliver Queen and Karona, the False God. Chromanticore is, sadly, not a legendary creature, which would ultimately disappoint EDH players as he seems to be a good pentacolor commander. Aside from the amazing artwork, this manticore has flying, first strike, vigilance, trample and lifelink. Add in a couple more abilities like haste and protection from a color or two and this could compete with Akroma, Angel of Wrath and her Planar Chaos counterpart, Akroma, Angel of Fury.
