Okay, Innistrad has had its prerelease! Here are my usual thoughts on how the set is going to change the multiplayer environment.

Casual Tools

As usual, let's separate this out into our usual Johnny / Timmy / Spike / Vorthos archetypes (one day, I'll need to cover Melvin, won't I?)...

[b]Timmy[/b], adoring fat creatures, is going to love [c]Moldgraf Monstrosity[/c]. It's big, fat, green and trampling (which ticks all the Timmy boxes by itself), and if someone's silly enough to kill it, Timmy gets back two more of his fatties (hopefully)!

The group's Timmies have to deal with removal to win, the group's Johnnies have to control things to win, the Vorthoses have to have a very slick and capable plan to pull things off (i.e. weak tribes or synergies aren't going to work), and the Spikes have to deal with... well, the other Spikes! What does New Phyrexia put on the table for them?

The Timmies are going to be heading for the Chancellors and Praetors. [c=Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite]Elesh Norn[/c], [c]Chancellor
