Colored Mana Symbols Return!
WotC has gone back to printing colored mana symbols on cards, which we can all appreciate.

Zombies appear to be on hiatus.

A blue hose. I never mind seeing blue hoses get printed... though they so rarely do anything other than draw-off Counters.
Glimpse of Nature - G
Sorcery
Whenever you play a creature spell this turn, draw a card.
Unknown
Now, I can't think of it off-hand... but isn't there something you could do with Eternal Witness to turn this into a really powerful card-drawing tool? This is a must-have playset for me when it gets out - it makes 0-drop creatures become very bad news.
...Oh, crap. Oh, no. Forget about Eternal Witness. Capless Affinity is going to have this card banned in T2 before you can say "R&D is really stupid!"
Sakura-Tribe Elder - 1G
Creature - Snake Shaman
Sacrifice Sakura-Tribe Elder: Search your library for a basic land card, put that card into play tapped, then shuffle your library.

Pay 2 life, T : Add to your mana pool. If that mana is spent on an instant or sorcery spell, that spell can't be countered by spells or abilities.

These both seem like contenders for real classic cards... though I have my doubts that the latter one will have as much impact as it should in Vintage.
Minamo, School at Water's Edge -
Legendary Land
Add to your mana pool.
U, T: Untap target Legendary permanent.
Rare
Holy God! Coupled with Tolarian Academy?
...Then again, it doesn't have mucb synergy with anything esle I can think of off the top of my head, so it probably won't make so much of a splash.
Yup - this only get me more wound-up about the release of CoK (the rules changes aggravate me, but I'll get over it. 'Defender' indeed!), although Blue seems to be gaining some really unneeded power (and Affinity is now going to splash green and continue to wreak havok).
