The set size on Crystalkeep says 350, I guess this includes basic land?

A lot of those do seem a little reasonable...

But Absolute Denial - countering all spells and abilities on the stack just seems to good to be true... too powerful... That one I don't think we'll see...

I thought I read somewhere that they were keeping the counters to +1/+1 counters to keep things simple. I really hope the elusive angel is true though.

The spoilers on mtgnews.com have historically been about 95% reliable. There a couple of totally fake spoilers posted several years ago, but since the makeover the mods have done an excellent job of "keeping it real."

The magicplayer.de site has a fake spoiler which is composed of nothing more than unsubstantiated rumor, culled almost entirely from the MTGNews Rumors Forum.

By the way, an imaginary card identical in efect to Absolute Denial was created for the old CPA card set, "Casualties of War." It was called Winds of Stupidity, and Gizmo hit the nail on the head when he noted that it might be the most appropriate card name ever. In other words, it looks neat, but is essentially useless.

Can't agree with that CT. At 4 mana it might seem too unwielding to play in constructed, but the ability to counter activated abilities AND spells gives it a versatility that no other counter has ever had. It can stop a Psychatog/Mongrel boost, the powering of a Deed, multiple Glory activations, and more. Is it worth adding 2 to a counter to be able to help deal with permanents? Yes it is. Its Interdict...on steroids.

In MP there is no question that a card like this is extremely powerful - it clears Mirari stacks, stops Deeds and Disks, can foil crazy Squee+ upkeep plays, and so on. I would never want to see this card ever played against me in an MP game.

I wouldn't ever want to see this card played against anyone ever!!!!

They would pull out their Runesword and chop everyone's head off in a rage of disbelief!

Well I guess it wouldn't suck totally in multiplayer. ;)
I didn't notice the "abilities" before, either. Is that new?

The spoiler cards from mtgnews are more reliable, methinks, than the insane stuff from magicplayer.

Some people were talking about that fake spoiler on other boards and mentioned that the site changed as they were talking about what was wrong with some of the cards.

It has. That lists morphing corresponds to the posts on the mtgnews forums. It is a sad, sad wannabe.
