What's the best card that has been spoiled so far? What card do you think will have the greatest impact on the metagame? What new card will be the most fun to play with?

Remember, only discuss officially previewed cards!

Dunno what will have the most impact, but I like gleancrawler the most.

Nightmare Void is easily the strongest card, because it'll be in every deck which can splash black and has room at the 4cc slot.

Grave-shell scarab...not to be underestimated, also plague boiler is going to be the new o-stone.

by far Grave-Shell Scarab is going to be the most powerful card to come out of this set....ive seen the rest and im sticking wit the bug. Also Plague Boiler is pretty cool and it is indeed going to be the new Ostone. Telling Time is also going to make a big splash in all MUC decks. Nightmare Void im afraid will NOT make that big of an impact though; Ravnica will bring more multicolored decks to type2 i think Persecute will still be a bigger 4cc hit than the Void UNLESS the dredge is a theme to the deck, which the case may be considering its a powerful tech.

All of the cards posted thus far are good contenders for the title; it's a strong set, it seems.

However, my money's on another card altogether: Dark Confidant.

I'm willing to bet that Char will see more play than any of the other preview cards. Lightening Helix is great but I think it is getting overrated here; Char simply kills a larger number of creature threats in addition to having easier color requirements.

A lot of solid creatures have popped up, but the only one that I think has the potential to be a real must-play is the Caraytid.

carven caryatid, plague boiler, scarab, (nightmare void sucks)

Guys, you are all wrong.

The new guild- (dual-) lands will see the most play, obviously.

Shob is right. However aside from smooth mana the most powerfull card is easily apparent.

I find it funny that this poll came out on the same day Lightning Helix was showed to the world. I at first thought that the poll was stating that Lightngin Helis was the best card preveiwed so far (it's most likly the bestcard in the deck), but it needs everyoen to say it first. Scarab is okay and is a powerhouse in G/B, as is Shambling Shell. Nightmare Void is underwhelmign and though awesome Char takes a backset. Flores said it himself. This card si very very close to being to good for constructed. it is an awesome card for beatdown decks because of the damage it does, and at teh same tiem it's also the best weapon against Beatdown decks.

"Watchwolf....it gets out to early for your oppenent to handle"

Unless they cast turn 2 helix.

Duel lands WILL be used...If they arn't...that person/people is are dumb. So they arn't that big of a show...

Watchwolf. I think that is big, even though many just brush it off and say "so what". It isn't a "so what" card. Nightmare Void is a "so what" card.

My money is on the new dual lands. They are the best purely mana producing lands since revised with the sac/fetch thingies.
They will be used hugely in standard and extended. Don't forget how they interact with cards like krosan verge and landcycling.
Not everyone needs a gleancrawler, or whatever, but everyone needs mana...

Dual Lands

They will fundamentally change deckbuilding in T2.

Watchwolf probably would have been more potent if Helix wasn't there to swat it in the mouth. Of course new duals are gonna get played, but that's boring. I can see Carven becoming a staple in many new decks.
