| | M10 Best of the New Stuff | 10) Awakener Druid
A 3 mana 1/1 that when played correctly makes a forest a 4/5 which can swing out immediately. That's my sleeper for the set!
9) Gargoyle Castle
This has been talked about here before so I won't go overboard, but making creatures at the end of your opponent's turn that they can't counter is just plain good.
8) Great Stable Stag
A 3-drop at 3/3 is good...add uncounterability and pro blue and black and this should be a staple in green sideboards and even splash into mainboards.
7) Cemetery Reaper
Any time you can put main board graveyard hate in a deck it's a positive thing. This guy is just plain solid.
6) Baneslayer Angel
A great finisher! A great cost! A great beater! A great defender! Everything about this card screams awesome.
5) Master of the Wild Hunt
This was Evan Erwin's preview card and he got a good one. Green now has direct damage!?!?! That's tits!
4) Honor of the Pure
Here's a card I hate because of Kithkin, but it will see heavy play.
3) Goblin Chieftan
I was hoping I would never see something like this again. I don't play goblins so I have a feeling that I'm going to see a lot of this guy sitting on the table across from me.
2) Doomblade
We're already seeing Terror pop up in many maindecks and sideboards. This is a strict upgrade that will see a ton of play.
1) Captain of the Watch
Ugh. I thought Cloudgoat Ranger was bad. This is like the Ranger on a mix or crack and steroids. So...for 6 mana I get a 3/3 with vigilance and 3 2/2s with vigilance? Good lord what was Wizards thinking!?

| I'm going to have a lot of fun running the Captain and Cloudgoat in the same deck.
Pwn'd. |
|
| I have heard a rumor that Earthquake can actually kill the Captain and all his little friends for the same 4 mana Wrath of God costs.

| I heard a rumor that earthquake is red. No one plays red, because it is not blue or white. Learn to play.

| It's also been my experience that Burrenton Forge-Tender shows up in just about every mono-white deck. Sometimes even in the mainboard!

| In a deck with Volcanic Fallout and Earthquake sideboard, Mono-White hoards seem less impressive to me.

| Fallout maindeck and Earthquake in the sideboard make G/W Overrun and any token strategy have a bad day.
Even with Forge-Tender.
Pwn'd. |

| Yes, you can play around the Forge-Tender if you know what you're doing. Pyroclasm and Firespout are both still around as well. Red is now definitely the color of mass destruction, which fits the color themes perfectly. Red has always been described as the color of chaos and destruction. Mass removal fits red much better than white, which is supposed to be the color of good and protection.

| Yep, Magic 2010 is what I have called 11th here. And I guess all the new Core sets will just be "Magic (year + 1)"
