ha yeah was thinking of it with cast from exile creatures
right, i think you basically would think of it like exiling it with an adventure counter on it
otherwise that notseize would seem straight busted

Correct. There will be an "On an adventure" overlay card in booster packs if you need it.
And posting Venerable Knight again for those who forgot what it is

Target opponent reveals his or her hand. You may choose a non-land card from the opponent's hand. If you do, opponent exiles that card. If a non-black card was exiled in this way, exile a card from your hand.
As a discard-player at heart, I'm not too impressed, might be worth a sideboard if a black deck
I've been on the hate train for this set, but I can agree with this. I'm sure there will eventually be a "main story" again (Garruk is our anchor and Will/Rowan will almost certainly play a part going forward), but I hope they learned some lessons from pushing that thread so hard and we get it more in moderation along with some good, plane-centric stories that are disconnected from the overarching plot.
We were joking that this was Shrek the Gathering then they go and reveal an actual Shrek card.
Yeah, that doesn't look like a knight, at all.
And I'll go ahead and say that in general I'm not really sold on the Knights archetype needing to have slid into red this much. I guess they just decided they wanted R/W Knights to be the new aggro archetype and are kind of forcing it, because flavor wise it just isn't working, especially in a fairy tale context.
Thunderous Snapper
Yeah, the organization and code of conduct typically associated with knights doesn't seem very red. Red has warriors, barbarians, and berserkers instead.
you can be granted titles and still roam around being a crazy bloodlusted moron, just like the boros legion are regimented soldiers but still are red
and i think goblins can do anything if they really believe in themselves!

I could totally see knights being hard red if you were doing a war context (Hundred Years War, Crusades, etc.), or the Ixalan vampire conquistadors totally could have done red, but fairy tale knights are like the most divorced from that context knights can ever get.
At least those goblins are riding something, not just being murderous redcaps.
Like the description for mah dude even says he jacked his gear for the killing spree.

They've been working through All-Star references gradually. Meteor Golem was just slightly too subtle for people.
Also what's the difference between a white spirit and a black spirit? Just because the knights of Locthwain are from another castle they're immediately branded as evil? White can be selfish too.

Phantom ability returns
Stream confirmed this is at least partially a reference to the Black Knight from Monty Python

This feels like a really on-the-nose reference to the Shardplate Brandon Sanderson's Stormlight Archive. Huge sword, and massive, magical armour that breaks off a piece at a time as it's attacked. You can even see the armour knitting itself back together with magic.
It seems like a fine way to represent a creature not being killable with a single wound, which applies to both the monty python knight or less silly a dullahan or something, as well as a crowd of individual zombies acting as a single threat.
Kind of wish this had been spoiled early enough to be used in the OT title.

Fierce Witchstalker; Wolf's Quarry
Faeburrow Elder; Idyllic Grange; Stonecoil Serpent
The tree folk is solid ramp for EDH. Playable for sure in non-cEDH decks.
Dammit, for some reason I really wanted a goblin + boar tribal subtheme, especially with this:
Endless One has found its end.
EDIT: So as not to double post:
Surprised this wasn't in the Esper deck during Arena's Eldraine Brawl event.

Danse of the Manse feels a bit Beauty and the Beast (the film at least, not sure if enchanted furniture is a thing in the original fairy tale).
Just stomp the fog away.

Limited themes
Damn, red getting a 4/3 for 3 with an upside... unless you're trying to play it in Feather.
Another reverse threshold card.
