Looks like pretty smart changes, especially in toning down the champion. I'm somewhat surprised by Seshiro though, I guess someone thought rotlung was slightly too strong.

The Sisters is waaaay evil! And, I tend to say the Loxodon is pretty frakking uselss (yay, a Battlestar reference, what a true GEEK!). Sure, regen is nice, but this is garbage compared to a lot of the other avatars out there. I guess with the GW token armies you'll have lots of stuff to sack. Then again, with a GW token guild deck, you'll likely use some other creature-centric avatar.
I wish I could win a Sisters. I just might try out an event, unless the price on those sisters is low enough to just trade for.

The Loxodon Hierarch gives you the ability to sac something anytime you like. This would combo better with G/B decks than G/W. Like Savra, Queen of the Golgari. Dumb elephant is working for the wrong guild.

Now thats funny.YoungBeard said:
I think the Caretaker is completely unfair.
The newest ones seem ok(don't have but 1)but I think the caretaker is extremely powerful.

Efreet requires a Karak's Thumb. Otherwise, you are dead.
The extra turn simply allows you to keep up with your opponent because of the land phasing problem.

Funny enough, Slurm right now does 10 damage. I think the version they have previewed is the correct one, though.

Viggy is a fun one, without doubt.
All Land, Momir Vig games are fun.
Just don't activate 'em for seven.

How come Lyzolda doesn't have Handsize -7?
