One great way to do this was to choose an old mechanic each year to bring back for a one-year stint. Magic 2011 brought back scry from Future Sight in the Time Spiral block. Magic 2012 brought back bloodthirst from Guildpact in the Ravnica block. Magic 2013 brings back exalted from Shards of Alara block.

Whoo, a card that's exciting because they shaved  off the cost! That's great design, right there. Oh wait, I shouldn't be thanking design at all. Thank you Development!

This is to Dragons as Baneslayer is to Angels? Somehow I'm disappointed.

We'd already seen this card, and the blue enchantment he mentioned as well. That's not so unusual, but these weren't unofficial leaks, they were on the Wizards-run Magic: The Gathering Facebook page. Miscommunication?

I'm not that impressed by the red dragon. Is it a good card? Yeah. Is it "a Dragon that was to Dragons what Baneslayer Angel was to Angels"? Not really. If they couldn't answer it, Baneslayer usually just straight up won you the game. Some decks just rolled over and died to a resolved Baneslayer. If they can't answer this, it...deals them five damage? And kills their flying 1/1 tokens? That's cool, I guess. Honestly though, I see this dragon more as a "Oh no! Lingering Souls is way too powerful! Quick, let's make a hoser and put it in the next core set!" Color me unimpressed by R&D/Development's attempt to correct their mistake.

I'd say it's due to a lack of Omniscience on their behalf.

Maro answered a question about Omniscience on Tumblr last week too, so he must have known it had been officially revealed. I'm sure he'd already written this article by then, but even so, you'd think someone would have noticed the problem.

The replacements for the departing titans are a bit dissappointing, green got the worst part of it. The titans were a staple in any deck any color they may be or found a niche in any arche type. Some of the cards that are brought in to replace the titans may be usable others well will be gathering dusts in bins someplace. Frankly my expectations for the great tradition of the core sets came to a halt for this cycle.

Green got Elderscale Wurm.  Tough luck green I guess you had it coming after 2 great years with Primeval Titan.
