Bloodletter Quill looks pretty powerful too, in my opinion. 

You have to wait another 4 rounds to get live back and creatures filled. Not so awesome. StV do ot faster. 

I don't know what everbody with stitch in time is. It's a one time effect maximum 3 extra sway. Okay that can be big amount of mana and casting phases, but only once.

I will test it myself... Next week. 🙂

Its up to 3 extra swaps PER CAST.

Now combine with cards that fetch spells and/or draw cards.  Its gonna be a mythic-only deck, but it will be filthy

Not every deck can play Storm the Vault. I can see it being really powerful for Sorin since he already gains life back so easily.

Up to 3...

I think normally 2 with StV an heavy blue board. But StV net you so much mana every round alone. 

We will be will see.

Yeah, let's just compare everything to the single strongest card in Standard, that seems like a completely reasonable way to judge the new set....

The 'single strongest' card is a rare. If I compare it with a Masterpiece should be some points on MP-side. 

Well, may it's not that weak I think, but there way more accessible option in standard then a MP.

There are a bunch of cards in that FB gallery where it says that the card is not available in the boosters.

@Brigby, @Oktagon_Daiane have you thought about publishing the preview of the card gallery of the new sets in the game library? You can put a phrase under every card (as for exclusives) saying something like "Preview. Not available in boosters or for crafting".

They did it that way before with Dom or M19 (i don't remember). Best way I think, if you don't want to use third party platform and don't have resources (!) to put a card gallery in official forum.

btw. How many dev's you have? One?

They never did that. I'm guessing in order to be able to see the cards in the in-game card gallery they have to add the cards to the game, which requires an update... which is when we get the new set anyway.

To be honest I prefer that they upload the gallery to FB now instead of their website first.

I am very shure they did. I was curious about that, because no update happen, but I had a look before in card gallery. 

Only happen once and one or two days before patch. 

But maybe it was EvZ. I am not sure.

We have the exclusives marked via comment: chorus, niv mizzet ravnica, razi, szadek and sisters of the stone death. Not sure if they were there yesterday, but thank you! 

What concerns me here is that the total size of the set was increased by 10 cards... All mythics. This breaks the rarity distribution and creates quite a weird parity between them and rares. 🤔

Not a weird Party?

From the total of cards (including exclusives from previous sets), there are around 10 more mythic cards in GRN. The number of rares and masterpieces is more or less the same with respect to the set size. Hence my remark regarding 10 more mythics in the set than "usual".
I ran the comparison against IXN, DOM and M19 that can all be seen as "large sets" designed by Oktagon. (RIX was a small set so I deliberately ignored that one)

Anyone have any idea how I can chexc out the GOR card gallery? I do not now, nor ever intend to have a Facebook account. And if I just try to view them at Facebook's website, the "join Facebook" popup keeps jumping up so I can't really view them. And mtgpq.info doesn't have the set available yet.
