In all seriousness though, the white borders on cards do one thing every well, it makes cards look less damaged over time. So many old cards look like garbage due to black borders and play wear.

White borders own, I play only 8th edition white boards at FNM or local LGS events and it seems to tilt everyone.

Some people are saying that some screwup lead to the precon Liliana's + ability getting partially revealed somehow, and that it puts a -1/-1 counter on a creature, suggesting that the set will have those instead of +1/+1s. Interesting implications for Constrictor decks.

Yeah but it's the first mention of -1/-1 counters since I think New Phyrexia, and they make a point of not having both types in a given set. It seems to indicate that there will be other, potentially good, cards with them.

I am hoping that sets are going to continue to trend upwards. Revolt is a pretty solid set despite removal still being a little light. As long has WOTC makes uncommons as good as they are in revolt and makes the changes they promised they would things might be on the fast climb.

-1/-1 counters would also mean BG would take a big tumble as Winding Constrictor would also double those an opponent gives to your creatures

If those are gods, as opposed to giants or avatars or something (although gods were mentioned in the blurb introducing the plane) I'm hoping they are typed as "crocodile god", "bird god" and so on.

Card name: "Bird God" Creature type: "Bird God" Oracle text: "Bird God" Power and Toughness: "Bird/God"
