Here we can discuss the tantalizing tidbits from the upcoming MTG 2012 set.

I AM EXCITED - Faust

Now that my obligatory emotional release is done, on with the news I found today :

Source

Looks like a few new/old mechanics will be making their debut.

First off we have Hexproof, which is the new keyword for the old 'troll-shroud' ability found primarily on Troll Ascetic.

Then we have "dies" being a shortcut that refers to when [x card] is put into Graveyard from battlefield. Should be interesting to see how it's used for effects.

Next is the return of Bloodthirst which was introduced in Guildpact. I remember some fun stuff there.

And ExarionUnivers1 Sorin Markov is being reprinted, kudos to Sorin. (One of my fave PWs btw)

Last but not least, Chandra's Phoenix.

I'm excited, anyone else? Let's just hope that this list can stay spoiled until the time is right ^o)

YESSSSSSSSSSS! I return to prominence in my Sorin form LOL

Seriously though I find Chandra's Phoenix interesting.

Archon of Justice is my single favorite mono-white card of all time; I can not tell you how excited I am to see it come back.

For the record, "dies" isn't a keyword, it's a formalized short hand way of saying "when ~ goes to the graveyard from play".

If it were a keyword, it'd have rules text

For awhile now we knew that either Giant Growth or Giant Spider would not be reprinted in this core set, making the one that stayed the only card to appear in every core set ever. I cannot say that I am happy to see Spider in over growth; I think growth is a much better card in most formats. This is a huge disappointment.

oooh That seems like it will be an awesome card!

I don't have any reprint wants at this time, however if they reprint JTMS I will rage. I think we've had enough of him xD

Okay, the Phoenix works so ridicously well with Chandra Ablaze. Will she be reprinted?

Also, the dragon is meh. Cool and all, but in the end, nothing but a big, really big flyer. I like the fact that Flameblast is back, though. Always has been one of my favs.
And the Archon, well... AWESOME RETURN IS AWESOME.
Every Pleonasm and every Tautology is actually just an analystic judgment a priori. Duh.

The dragon it ok for limited environment but all else it sucks hard, Archon is welcomed (though I think it means no condemn/POE/Swords returns) The Phoenix could work which means ablaze is coming back (why wouldn't it be?) and the rest is meh as far as I can tell.

This makes me think Baron Sengir is coming back if the flavor text on this one has something in it about Baron you can bet he will be in INN

BAron Sengir is also mentioned in the flavortext of Elixer of Immortality. That might mean that one is back as well, and I love that.
Sengir? Really? Awesome! Those good old days :)

lots of goodies spoiled so far.

I'm really digging the new Chandra the most so far out of all the new planeswalkers.

Agreed, the new Chandra is no doubt going to be a standard staple. Glad to have you back Pepsi :)

I really think red is going to be pretty amazing post rotation. (even with speculation to a huge black block to follow)
