Dovin -he's 1St is mana gain which be valuable and 2 can support himself as terrible but potential draw engine. I think he will see some action. Ajani2 - I'm doubtful. Nissa 2 can be strong (converting gems and ultimate).I think Koth return in glory. Sorin will be reduced to ashes. He loose all staples - lone rider, Serene, campaign, Olivia, cheap removal. Nahiri - still gonna be strong (zoo).
Saheeli dropping 4/4 thopters is very useful, even if energy isn't. I often use it to draw out removal from my opponent.

EDHdad said:Arlinn's 1st ability is freaking godlike. It turns one of your critters temporarily into Decimator of the Provinces. All of a sudden, your mild-mannered 4/4 Ornithopter is bashing your opponent's creature for 8. It's like a free removal spell, that you didn't even need to spend a deck slot on.
Gotta say, I don't use Arlinn much, but agree here. Her 1st ability is pretty nice, especially since it doesn't kill your creature when the buff wears off. =p

Hi Everyone. Lots of great questions and comments here. I'll be sure to pass them along to the developers. Here are a few answers I've received back from questions presented yesterday:
Why was Ornithopter buffed?
Ornithopter was given Vigilance to increase its effectiveness. As a 4/4 flyer for 4 mana, it is still one of the very most efficient creatures in the game, and being colorless means it can be used everywhere. Giving it Vigilance also brings it closer to its original intent, which is to have a cheap flying blocker.
Will certain Planeswalkers be adjusted now that certain sets are being restricted from PvP events?
Planeswalkers will not be adjusted with the new restrictions in the near future. If we notice it is problematic, we will address the situation, but as of now there are no plans to adjust them.
With the increased duration and adjusted rewards of upcoming weekday PvP events, will they now have a crystal entry cost, or are they still free to enter?
The only PvP events with an entry cost are the Trials of the Planes events. Any other event remains free to enter.
Here are the next round of questions I'm asking the developers:
Will any other Masterpieces be buffed? (For example, Lightning Greaves)
Will players' Color Mastery ranks be affected when certain cards become restricted from PvP?
What can players expect for PvP rewards when the weekly events are adjusted?

Thanks for the summation, Brigby. I see much potential with the new event structure.
The other question surrounding that structure was would players receive an additional deck slot now that we are forced into playing "standard" decks for future events.

Anyone else worried that the new set won't/could not have any werewolves and that Standard will exclude ALL existing werewolves? Arlinn may be far less viable than she is now once the update hits.0
-
Arlinn is still the only red-green planeswalker for some time- that along should make her useable for certain builds you are unable to build with other planeswalkers. For now though I definitely would not expect they to make any changes regarding this until Wizards of the Coast prints more werewolves0

I think the move to Standard further devalues individual card purchases since their lifetime use will be limited for certain periods of play, tagger than the game's lifetime.0

Invocations @Hibernum_JC?
(Sorry if it's been mentioned before, but I didn't see it when I was skimming the previous posts)0 -
Rotation, for the time being, will make the Kaladesh masterpieces (at least the good ones, like the Swords) disproportionately powerful. It will be harder to compete against the whales who have spent thousands of dollars on the game.

All the actual coalition events will be standard format. The weekend PVE coalition event is specifically singled out, and the midweek coalition event will be PVP. Actually I'm pretty non-thrilled they decided to make yet another never-ending yet never certain when it will end PVE event. Don't they read the forums and know people hate that format?babar3355 said:I don't understand the general freak out over the implementation of standard format in PvP events. You can still use your broken cards in the coalition events it sounds like. ...
