All my hype at the moment is in Weiẞ Schwarz after the announcement, but Magic: the Gathering is slowly gaining my attention with the latest spoils for #FRF!
I'm not going to completely go through the cards released every day, but rather the cards I find pretty interesting for either competitive play or just for fun shenanigans. Everyone pretty much knows where to get the spoiler lists anyway so I don't find any point in adding to the already massive amount of list that does.

Soulflayer - 4BB
Creature - Demon Delve (Each card you exile from your graveyard while casting this spell pays for 1.) If a creature card with flying was exiled with Soulflayer's delve ability, Soulflayer has fliyng. The same is true for first strike, double strike, deathtouch, haste, hexproof, indestructible, lifelink, reach, trample, and vigilance. |
|---|
I'm not one to play aggro, but this one is pretty hardcore. Delving away your dead creatures just go get another one with the static ability? Pretty sweet in my book and I feel like it'll be an include in the current Abzan decks and what not. Or maybe we get to finally see some newer decks come up?

Flamerush Rider 4R
Creature - Human Warrior Whenever Flamerush Rider attacks, put a token onto the battlefield tapped and attacking that's a copy of another target attacking creature. Exile the token at the end of combat. Dash 2RR (You may cast this spell for its dash cost. If you do, it gains haste, and it's returned from the battlefield to its owner's hand at the beginning of the next end step.) |
|---|
As I've already stated I am not one to play aggro, but the things you can do with this is pretty amazing. The whole Dash concept can take you by surprise and unlike Evoke it's reusable! Also, better yet, the creature gets Haste! What is there to put a token of? There's a lot actually. Two Stormbreath Dragons swinging? That's the quickest thing I can think of right now in Standard. Although I got a few shenanigans I can think of right now for EDH/Commander... Hmm, I'm gonna have to probably make a new deck... again... hehehehe~

Whisperingwood Elemental - 3GG
Creature - Elemental At the beginning of your end step, manifest the top card of your library. (Put it onto the battlefield facedown as a 2/2 creature. Turn it face up any time for its mana cost if it's a creature card.) Sacrifice Whisperwood Elemental: Until end of turn, face-up nontoken creatures you control gain "When this creature dies, manifest the top card of your library." |
|---|
My prayers for some Morph shenanigans has been answered. When I first read Manifest I got instantly intrigued. The quasi-morph gives us more options. Not as a punch in the face if Courser of Kruphix is present on your side of the field and you Manifest, but when it's not there... Well... Your opponent is going to have to choose ne~~?
And let's not forget that if you Morph your creatures post an Ugin board wipe, then you clearly have to board advantage. Or do you want to keep your opponent's on their shoes in guess which Face Down card is actually a creature and not a land, sorcery, instant, enchantment, artifact, or Planeswalker? Whatever the case may be, Morph looks slightly more appealing now with the whole Manifest-able shenanigans! Let's not forget that your creatures dying will also net you extra creatures if you sacrifice this guy!
Well that's it for today's list that instantly caught my attention. Till next spoil list~
