Shards of Alara Previews

Oversoul

The Tentacled One
Knight of the White Orchid: Only better than White Knight if you already know the opponent won't be playing black--still a solid card.
Bant Charm: Meh. Looks mediocre.
Vein Drinker: Reminds me of Invasion. Not a bad card, though.
Resounding Thunder: Crap.
Etherium Sculptor: Reminds me of Mirrodin and has some potential.
Ad Nauseum: Too expensive, but the effect is extremely powerful.
Broodmate Dragon: Three colors and expensive. Enough said.
Crucible of Fire: Do dragon decks really need enchantments to make the dragons bigger?
Carrion Thrash: Three colors and expensive...
Death Baron: Well, I have always liked skeletons, but this won't make them good by itself.
Druids of Anima: Skyshroud Elf is better.
Exuberant Firestoker: Interesting idea...
Keeper of Progenitus: So they're really pushing three-color decks this set, huh?
Cunning Lethemancer: Meh.
Rakeclaw Gargantuan: Would be awesome if he were only two colors...
Skeletonize: I hated opening up booster packs and getting Deadapult as my rare.
Skullmuncher: There are much better ways to do everything it does.
Hell's Thunder: Trying to redo Ball Lightning yet again, huh? Nothing beats the original.
Salvage Titan: If you putting down so many artifacts that this is good, you should win without it.

From FlamesRising:
Another zombie lord, and a great one at that! And I know a combo with it: Death Baron + Dralnu's crusade + Goblin sharpshooter. A very similar and infinitely better combo: Goblin sharpshooter + Quietus spike.
