Demonlord of Ashmouth - 2BB
Creature - Demon
Flying Undying
When ~ etb, sacrifice it unless you sacrifice another creature.
5/4
Thunderous Blast - (cost unknown)
Instant
~ deals 5 damage to target creature or player.
Miracle R - you may play this card for its miracle cost when you draw it if its the first card drawn this turn.
Silverblade Paladin - 1WW
Creature - Human Knight
Soulbond - you may pair this creature with another unpaired creature when either enters the battlefield. They remain paired as long as you control both of them.
As long as ~ is paired with another creature, they both have double strike.
2/2
It's really not even about giving niche cards to black.
It should be about giving black cards to Niche.

Spells and abilities played by your opponent can't cause you to sacrifice creatures.

Last post should be "Sigarda", prevents sacrifice of permanents, and is 5/5. I'll fix when I'm not on my phone.
Also Hook is Ravnica.

Also:
Restoration Angel 4cmc white
creature - angel
Flash, flying.
When ~ etbs, exile a creature then return it to the battlefield.
3/4
Seems good, but it's a bit pricey.
And you exile demonlord of ashmouth, you don't sac it.
I think the heron angel or whatever is gonna be good. It's just near-impossible to kill. She still dies to clones and sweepers though.

It was revealed to me in a dream. All the cards were in my dream except for three slots which I plugged in as Vault Skirge.
FULL DISCLOSURE: The dream was post AVR so there was a copy of Slayer's Stronghold. I decided to keep it pre AVR in my post here.
EDIT: I just remembered. The Skirges might have been 2x Whipflare and 1x something else, probably War and Peace.
EDIT2: Currently 4-0 in my first four games with this. My opponents have been very angry. I fought off a Wurmcoil from Grixis for six turns before I found my second Dispatch. Jeez, I can do a lot of damage.
EDIT3: Streak broken. Lost to an unexpected Overrun.  Cracking a Shrine for 10 wasn't enough.

that kinda freaked me out

Yeah, I expect even more games decided by drop that, stick a Sword, Control player scoops.
Because Control decks, not aggressive Tempo decks that need control to rein them in, are the menace right now.
Hexproof is a terrible mechanic.

Nice to have Momentary Blink back, after a fashion.

You don't need to stick a sword. Simply resolving that will usually be enough to get a scoop.

Agree that tempo, especially UW tempo decks, are something that simply isn't on R & D's radar when developiong. However, I doubt this angel is going to fit in Delver decks or any other tempo deck. At best the proper reaction to this card is "hey, another Geist blocker that can't be Vapor Snagged".
Is Hook, therefore Ravnica, the next block? If it is... sigh
If Limited gets in the way of printing good Constructed cards...
Screw limited

The Thunderous Blast costs 6 (4RR). I hate the mechanic, as it not only reminds me of delver (oh hey, check out this blind flip on turn 2, good luck doing anything with this extreme pressure) but it'll also be a nightmare during release night where you have people "oh, I drew this card but I put it in my hand, moved past my upkeep, and am now in my main phase. Can I do it anyway." Hell no, but because it'll be a lower REL tournament, I'll probably be forced to let you do it anyway.
Hexproof is so stupid, and I'm sick of seeing it. the Angel costs 5 mana, 2GWW and is a 5/5. I am NOT happy about this card, but it'll obviously be something you have to pick up- Naya Pod will want it, and GW has suddenly become a deck again.
That demon is pretty sick. It'll see play in Zombies for sure, and I'm considering playing it in Legacy.
And I'm surprised nobody's even mentioned Banding 2.0
@Javert - yeah, the next block is Ravnica. Whats wrong with that? I loved Ravnica. If not for the original Ravnica block, I probably wouldn't be playing Magic today. Sure, the revists are going to get old if its every other block (if they do another one in the next 3 blocks I'll be dissapointed) but for now I'm okay with it.
