Thoughts: Haste; Battalion – Whenever Army Loyalist* and at least two other creatures attack, creatures you control gain first strike and trample until end of turn and can’t be blocked by tokens this turn.

*Might not be the English name

Bulk rare.

Thoughts:
I’m not sure that Assemble the Legion will be Constructed playable (you don’t start getting creatures until your sixth turn, barring acceleration), but it should be a staple for Commander play. Assemble the Legion can pump out a truly impressive number of creatures, especially if you can get counters on it through other means (Giant Fan?). I expect this to be a casual card that holds value at $1-$2.

Thoughts:
Kismet effects have been hit or miss in Constructed play. Blind Obedience is one of the cheaper versions of this effect and is right at home in a deck that wants to keep on attacking each turn. I believe the second ability on Blind Obedience—extort—is what makes this a Standard-playable card. Early in the game, it will let you get extra damage through by taking out blockers for a turn. Later in the game, it will let you get extra damage through just by casting spells. This also stops haste creatures, if you care to play it as a sideboard card. I believe this will hold value and maybe even hit the $3 range.

Thoughts:
Lord of the Void is a 7/7 flyer that doesn’t have trample. Chances are, if you’re hitting your opponent with combat damage with your 7/7 flyer, you’re already winning the game—so this is a classic “win-more” effect. I don’t see anything particularly compelling about this card, either for casual or competitive play—so I expect this to drop to the $2 bulk mythic range shortly after release.

Thoughts:
Bulk rare—at four mana to get this on the board, it’s a little too rough to cast, much less use.

Thoughts:
Selling at 30 Euros overseas. Went up to $35 over the weekend, but sales weren’t sustainable yet at that price, so back down to $30 from the initial price of $25. Likely to hit the $40 range right after release but will drop back down to $25-$30 2-3 weeks after release, as 2nd and 3rd wave Gatecrash shipments hit.
