Yeah, both "may be fake" cards are way overpowered. Also faded image makes me think they are.

[Dontrike]

The blurry cards may not be fake after all.

Grim Haruspex is plain amazing, a 3/2 for 3 is already decent and turning a board wipe into a few cards drawn is just amazing.
Goblinslide is interesting and may end up being played somewhere.
Surrak Dragonclaw is real and I am all over his overpoweredness.
Savage Punch has amazing art, just because of the bear punching. It really should have had a playmat. In a green deck you will most likely get the Ferocious ability to go off.
Disdainful Stroke is an alright counterspell.
Treasure Cruise is two mana too much, even with Delve.
Secret Plans may help make a Morph deck, but it still may not be likely.

I like this card, both for it's flavor and what it does.

[Pendulous]

Winterflame is terrible, that charm is awesome.

Secret Plans is what morph needs, but it still needs an Ixidor type card to control the morph more.

Treasure Cruise sucks. Fuck Delve if they're just turning it into a "let's jack up the mana costs hard so they're forced to use to much of it".

I really like that charm, it's definitely one of the better ones.

Hmm, nice. Is there a Warrior's deck to be made? Could go either Junk or WBR. I might have to explore that as a budget deck.

There are enough warriors to make a deck.

But white/black? Rather odd.

You could splash for an extra color if you wanted.

[Pendulous]

Well, I mean, historically, warriors have been red and green. I haven't been paying super attention to all the spoilers, but I can't imagine black/white being a functional warrior color combo.

[Naxere]

The whole set's been spoiled now.

It won't be a very competitive deck, but I think it might be something can show up at FNM and do alright with.

Also, dual-tribal leaders like that are fairly inefficient. Just look at the spirit ones from Innistrad. Though, I still look at a creature like that and reminisce about my awesome Watchwolf from Ravnica.

What do you mean by dual-tribal leaders?

Two cards that do what one card should. One gives a small bonus, the other does the same. Compared to a card like Lord of the Unreal, I don't see an issue with these two cards being one card, though not at a 3/3

We have had this same thing with Soldiers before with Veteran Armorsmith/Swordsmith, and these Warrior versions are a little better.

I am quite shocked that the fetchlands do not have a higher price for them. I figured they wouldn't go under $20, but I can easily find almost all of them for under that.

I'm kinda tempted to buy a box just because I think the value of the set will hold up well over time. Lots of cards that are viable in Modern and Commander also.

I preordered 3 boxes for this very reason. I am sure I am opening at least 2 of them, and will probably buy boxes to save them and wait for when they are $500 each. Should only take about 5 years or so.

A lot of the usual speculators disagree with you guys... I personally don't care, but you guys might want to be careful...
