    I consider them more red/green. I'm not big on red/black tribal. I even keep my vampires mono-black. I don't know. Just a thing. Maybe because I have a friend who would always play a minotaur druid in D&D.

    Also, I can't think of a good red/green tribal, because screw werewolves and that dumb mechanic.

    I suppose you have some fair points there.

    - - - Updated - - -

    We got ourselves some news about M15, namely a new card face. Personally my only gripe is the information at the very bottom (Artist, card number, etc.)



    Here is the information about it.

    1) The font

    Since its inception, Magic has used off-the-shelf fonts on its cards. As a brand, we feel that we'll be better served by having our own unique proprietary font—something with a little edge and character that is still very readable.

    In general, we liked the heaviness and shape of the "Matrix Bold" font we'd been using previously, so there are a lot of similarities between the old font and the new, named "Beleren," which should alleviate any jarring feeling when you mix the two together in decks.

    2) The holofoil stamp

    You'll notice a little silver oval in the bottom center of Waste Not. That's a new unique holofoil stamp that we're applying to all rares and mythic rares going forward. This stamp makes those cards feel more special, as well as guarantees authenticity.

    Commons, uncommons, and basic lands will not feature this stamp.

    3) The collector info

    In the lower left of the card is a series of letters and numbers that indicate the card's collector number (122/269), rarity (R), set (M15), and language (EN). The little dot between the set and the language will be a star on premium cards, so just about everything you'd ever need to know about a card's edition is in one easy-to-read place.

    Making the bottom of each card black to accommodate this information was not an easy decision, and may be the most disconcerting part of this frame update, but it was done with the best of intentions. This information is machine-readable by recognition software at our production plants. It will help eliminate the rare packaging error, like cards sneaking into the wrong expansion's boosters.

    4) Decreased border size

    In order to fit all this cool new stuff on the cards, we've reduced the width of the black border by almost a millimeter all the way around. This reclaimed real estate allows us to have slightly bigger art and text boxes as well.

    5) The designer credit

    You'll notice that we gave you all credit for making this card in the place normally occupied by flavor text—"Designed by the Magic community." This is the first time we've ever given credit for a specific card design on the card itself, and it's you! You should be very proud! While every card going forward won't feature a designer credit (kinda sad, really), there are a handful of others in Magic 2015, specifically, that will. (You'll have to wait on those details! It's cool, I promise!)

    Those are the main components of the card frame update. Here's another M15 card for comparison. This one isn't rare, so it has no stamp; is a creature, so it has a P/T box; and isn't black, so you can see the frame design more clearly. All in all, it is an impressive modernization of the card frame, one I'll be excited to get my hands on this summer with M15.

    We are getting Modern Event Decks, looks like a cheap way to get into Modern, as long as the deck is decent, but I can't imagine that the MSRP is followed if the deck is really good.

    Got a new card spoiled: http://www.mtgsalvation.com/born-of-...iler.html#7988

    Dire Flames 1RRR

    Instant

    deals 5 damage to target creature or planewalker. If it is your turn, scry 2.

    Seems like they're just trying to push scry more. Not really interested. If it was any target, then it'd be great. But with a limited target, and only scrying on your turn, pass.

    Inspired is begging for something like Springleaf Drum.

    The giant is cool. Tribute seems more well-costed than Monstrous felt.

    Archetype of Imagination is awesome. Weird to see a card like that at uncommon. I don't think I've ever seen that before.

    Oh. Yeah, Springleaf Drum.

    Yeah I like the Inspired + Drum interaction. Wonder if there's some sweet Hidden Strings interaction the set. Tribute seems pretty cool as well. Looks like there's a multi-colored God cycle in the set too.

    Damn. If only she had defender, she'd fit with my deck. Would replace Tidewater Minion.

    Meh. This "if it's your turn, scry" thing just doesn't feel worth it http://www.mtgsalvation.com/born-of-...iler.html#8031

    And at rare? Eww.

    Yeah that Black Mythic (Champion of Stray Souls) seems like a Commander-only card. Disappointing.

    The only tribal I can think of that reduced the cost of creatures by one of two different mana was Edgewalker. Now have Ragemonger.

    Searing Blood is definitely a nice card, will probably show up in Modern or Legacy instead of Searing Blaze. Xenagos is just plain good.

    I think I like Searing Blaze over Searing Blood. Easier to proc the extra effect.

    Bile Blight, another anti-token-deck card. We didn't get enough of those?

    Thassa's Rebuff is a good counterspell for mono-blue.

    I like Xenagos. Drop him, then start dropping fatties like Ruric Thar, the Unbowed.
