Obviously she picks them off one by one. We know Karlov is WB, so the rest of the members must each be 1 mana or less.

plz be an artifact reprint set
Opal being $100 when every deck that ever wants Opal wants 4 Opals is dumb
They seem to be trying to make the underplayed guilds from previous sets stronger. Gruul has a good strong track record from precious sets, with one mechanic even making it to a core set. Surely it's more likely we see Simic pushed hard? It's a guild that's never been strong in Ravnica environments, it's a little used colour combo currently, and it's one of the two anti-Bolas guilds in the set.

Azorius probably goes full fliers (read: thopters) and artifact support to provide a different archetype than control for UW or Esper.
I don't feel like Control is ever a legit archetype in limited these days. Control decks are usually just random cards that correspond to cards typically played in draw go decks.
Izzet control and Dimir control are both very playable in GRN limited. Dimir, especially, is like the textbook definition of a control deck.
Amplifire
This will be fun in limited but in Constructed it will just be a giant beatstick that will immediately die to removal.

Seraph of the Scales
Clearly meant for Gruul, it's a 4 mana threat but I don't know what deck can't blow up a 1/1 by turn 4. By the way I've been thinking a little more about Kaya and I think she's worth trying out, it just seems like a lot of setup if you want her as a finisher, it would have to be some kind of mill deck to ensure enough cards can be exiled, probably too much trouble to make it work but it sounds fun.

it's a boring card, but i'm fine with it showing up in fewer draft/sealed pools
It should be rare for constructed but mythic for limited. I'm fine with the rarity.
Good luck justifying the flavor behind afterlife 2 tho.

Orzhov trade in souls, right? Clearly she collected on a debt earlier.
On the one hand yeah it seems a bit underwhelming, but also you can pay the upkeep for Vigilance/Deathtouch each turn quite cheaply. With flying, it's a strong card.
but like other saids, it should be rare or even uncommon.
uncommon would be insane it's 6/5 worth of P/T over 3 bodies w/ flying that will trade up and/or attack and hold down the fort. It's pretty boring and not that pushed for a mythic but above rate for most rares.
I can smell the janky nonsense from here.
Throw it in a deck with Ghalta and some trample-givers and pray for dear life.
There are like a dozen of ways to get rid of a 1/1 that's almost totally useless and defenceless until the following turn though.

It's a one trick pony. It works the first time, but for the second match on a Bo3 you can be sure as hell your opponent will pack any kind of counters, insta-sac outlets or something similar. The X part of the spell also makes sure you don't cast it with Omniscience or Omnispell Adept (since X=0 in those cases) if I'm not mistaken.
Hence the praying.
I never said it would be reliable or even remotely competitive, but it'd be worth it for the 1% of times it actually works.
Ravager Wurm, Precognitive Perception, Spawn of Mayhem
No trample is very weird.
Easily a limited bomb but too tuned for standard I fear.
Now these 2 are sweet, although the spectacle is kind of lazy lol

It has its place in limited where you can count on people not packing relevant removal (or any removal at all) though.
Ravager Wurm is a strange one. I do like the way that Riot can punish tapping out for a planeswalker.
re: Orzhov mythic, it'd be a miserable rare in limited and prefer when not every mythic is broken. I also think it's plenty powerful. Same thing with the two PWs: strongly prefer interesting designs that may or may not be good. If they're bad, fine, you don't have 10 good planeswalkers in standard. (Strongly favor more level power differential between the rarities, which is usually going to translate to "bad mythics" by current precedent.)

Ravager Wurm seems to cost 1 colorless too many imo for a mythic with no other keywords and it's stats. There is far better shit to cast on 6 mana with those colors. Decent sideboard card I guess. Spawn of mayhem is fantastic even without the spectacle cost. Getting this thing out on turn 3 in limited is basically game winning. Even in standard it's gonna be a staple in any black or rakdos beatdown or burn deck. Good card.

Yes the wurm is overtuned
Double afterlife, double elenda explosions !
Oh. I think I want this is my modern Aristocrats deck.

Mardu Aristocrats it is, then.

I had a feeling Standard Aristocrats was the way things were going with Orzhov when I saw Afterlife.
Let's do it, baby.
Let's do it, baby.
Any aristocrats without blood artist and cutthroat are just imitations really. Reprint both you cowards.
