Oh jeez, those are all very good. Hmm... I'm actually not sure what to pick lol.

Golgari is one of my favorite guilds and they're getting a lot of toys. The zombie troll is sick. Translation is:
Lotleth Troll BG
2/1
Trample
Discard a creature card from your hand: Put a +1/+1 counter on Lotleth Troll.
B: Regenerate Lotleth Troll.
Finally, a set with REAL cards in it. I haven't played in almost 8 months because the sets have been such utter shit.
Was all psyched about this set and then they start printing "can't be countered" cards. I'm not a big fan of the overuse of the mechanic. It takes a lot of skill out of the game if you can just play without any consequences. 4mana wrath in the format though, wee.
Omg Abrupt Decay and Supreme Verdict are so good o.O
With all the can't be countered cards I'm starting to wonder since mana leak leaving the currently counters left in standard are unimpressive. Makes me think perhaps we might be seeing Remand and Voidslime reprints if were lucky. Remand would hose miracles especially bonfire so hard not to mention its starting to get expensive and we need more modern reprints.
Voidslime would fit the theme well.
So much uncounterable shit in this set..
Exactly with mana leak leaving and cavern of souls staying the only reason I can think of warranting adding the uncounterable clause to this cycle is that theres going to be a really good counter spell in the set. Unless WoTC just has a hard on for hosing blue in standard who knows they have been trying to tone back counters in last few years. Least there wont be anymore snapcaster mana leak when you can snapcaster any charm, abrupt decay, dreadbore etc.....
I only see 3 uncounterable cards all from different guilds spoiled so far. I'm hoping it's just a guild cycle and things don't get too crazy.
Is there no Orzhov this set? ;[
Orzhov Simic Boros Dimir Gruul are in the next set Gatecrash. Last set in block will have all 10 guilds. On another note booster box prices went up across the board least $5 from yesterday after the spoiling of Abrupt decay and Supreme Verdict. Prices may creep higher if we keep getting awesome spoilers like these if anyone preordering boxes I would do it now.
Woo, nailed it.

any suggestions on how to actually get that into play before a game ends?
11 doesn't seem so bad i guess, got some elves and shit
Oath of Druids or Show and Tell :D? lol
or Sneak Attack. Urza/cloudpost-Tooth&Nail if people still play that. Wild Pair with Emrakul, the Aeons Torn, both are 15/15.
Dream Hall: pitch a green card.
Loxodon is boring, easy to get onto the field, minimal impact when on the board.
Loxodon was the newest entry in the uncounterable cycle and was just relevant to the previous discussion.
For Worldspine Wurm - post rotation standard options I found
Guild Feud
Descendant's Path with Boneyard Wurm on field - requires some creature in graveyard and luck.
Ooh, Call to the Kindred on boneyard wurm.
Question: If you could cast sorcery with flash, could you unburial rites it before it gets shuffled into library from graveyard?
Yes.
