According to Rosewater there are no black embalm creatures. Focused on UW but present in all others except B. Amonkhet flavor aside, to me it's the most black mechanic ever. Strange.

The thing that annoys me about having Aftermath instead of regular old Flashback isn't the goofy frames, it's that it means we won't get an Unburial Rites reprint.

You, you bother me. Specifically, your token. How does this work if he's your EDH commander? Like, if you exile it from your graveyard, can you choose to put him in your command zone?

Another day of unexciting spoilers? Is WotC just saving all the exciting stuff for later on? Isn't one of the keys to a spoiler season trying to hype people up? This spoiler season seems like it's missing the mark by a lot.

The "-1/-1 counters as downside for low cost, but also a resource" mechanic is kind of a neat. And it's cool how the colorshifted Unstable Mutation works with those. You can use it to permanently buff and supply counters for anything with "T, remove a -1/-1 counter, do a thing".

So basically I want to hope for a stupidly powerful legendary creature with Embalm. I mean, this guy's good, but I can't think of a UW beatdown deck.

It's worth noting that the template appears to be that you can assign the -1/-1 counters to any creature you control. So if you have a servo out you could just nuke it and get a 4/4 for 1G with that uncommon.

Nest of Scarabs is looking kind of disgusting with all these cheap green creatures that make a million -1/-1 counters. If it wasn't a 3 drop it would be so sweet.

I want an uncommon build-around that lets you move -1/-1 counters from these beefy undercosted green dudes onto your opponents' creatures.

A few of those monuments seem playable? I'm shocked. Also the -1/-1 guys are not going to be fun to crash into each other while trying to keep combat math straight. Better stock up on dice. Looks like there are a lot of cheap pump effects too, limited might be very fast paced.

There's a way to really abuse these but I'm not smart enough to figure it out right now.

Booooring. Hellbent Dog is neat because hellbent is actually a condition that you don't want. 7+ cards in hand? Great. That's already something good. Having a good thing turn on a 5/5 indestructible flyer is just an uninteresting win-more condition.

I feel like the blue ibis god will do a lot of blocking and then leaving combat as it stops being a creature because you cast a removal spell on their other unblocked creature. Also it encourages your opponent to first-main-phase their spells so you have to choose between countering and blocking, which is kind of interesting.
