Like Don Genaro in the Casteneda books, they will be searching for Ixtlan for the rest of their lives.

Well, Extended Gobbos... you'll lose your Warchief soon, but here... have a Chieftain.

Where's my cat lord? Booooooo!

Apart from that this looks like the best core set I've ever seen!

Goblin Chieftain makes both me and the young Goblin deck-toting Magic player inside of me happy. Thank you, Wizards.

The new basic creature lords like the Goblin Chieftain are looking to be good; However, some of the newer cards are not so hot looking. The Vampire Nocturnus is very blah to be an mythic rare. It's price and it's power and toughness are good, yes, but vampires without fly in the first place seem very odd, as most nearly all of the previously printed vampires have fly. The "playing with the top card revealed" clause kinda hinders people from playing it, as it further reduces any chance of executing already limited surprise tactics, for an effect that won't be affecting a cheap, expansive creature population. Also, why does it specify itself in it's text? Wouldn't simply saying "All vampire creatures you control get +2/+1 and flying" suffice? He is a vampire, and would indeed fall under the "vampire creatures you control" category. The Undead Slayer is has a neat function, but it's wording is very clumsy. For starters, the name is too generic and it's flavor text seems very wrong somehow; I think using "soulless" and "soul" in that fashion assaults logic somehow. And finally, these new dual lands seem very much weaker than the previously released dual lands. For starters, you cannot use it turn one, making it that much more inefficient, and thus slowing down a great deal of decks. As they stand now, these lands are actually weaker than the tri-lands from Shards of Alara, and the tri-lands produce 3 colors of mana and don't rely on basic lands to function. As I have noticed in previous sets, the core edition has contained the so called "pain lands," which are playable the turn they come into play, at the price of a life; The block sets, such as Ravnica, Time Spiral, Lorwyn-Shadowmoor, and even Shards of Alara, have contained the dual lands that require some other component to function, be it a payment of life, a specific creature type, or some color of mana. Point being, the core lands until now have not been the wait-another-turn-to-use lands, and I think this will really slow down the game. On top of that, in tri-color plus decks, these new dual lands have the added risk of not being playable at all should you not pull the proper type of basic land needed to activate them. I think the pain lands should have kept their place in the core edition while this new type of land should have been saved for a future, dual color themed block set. Also, it seems to me that all this catering to the newbie, casual player is removing a great deal of the strategy and risk from the game; It should be noted, since Magic is taking a stronger swing towards the fantasy realm, that in these fantasy worlds the gaining of and use of power has a price and penalty for overuse, and stripping away these repercussions, such as the newbie player's disdain and confusion about pain lands and mana burning, takes away that particular element of the fantasy genre. If a player has difficulty understanding something like the power of pain lands or mana burn, they should take the time to learn about it from a fellow gamer or an article on the topic, rather than have these elements removed because they might be scared to take a risk.
