Because so many requested it, heres a place to talk about all the spoilers that don't deserve threads of their own.
Epochalyptik - Can we get this featured since spoiler season appears to have officially started?

Hedron Archive is interesting. So apparently Ugin is already on Zendikar again? Or is this in the past?
August 28, 2015 6 p.m.
canterlotguardian Ugin is on Zendikar again. He never met Jace before BfZ.

Defiant bloodlord reminds of of Butcher of Malakir. Both 7 mana both have flying. They both have a effect that targets opponents when something happens to you. The only real difference between them is their power and toughness are switched. XD

Hedron Archive completes the "cycle" of Mind Stone and Dreamstone Hedron.

You could say that Defiant Bloodlord is to Sanguine Bond as Butcher of Malakir is to Grave Pact.
Oh, and here's Guardian of Tazeem:

Omnath, Locus of Rage 3RRGG
Legendary Creature - Elemental
Landfal - Whenever a land enters the battlefield under your control, put a 5/5 red and green Elemental creature token onto the battlefield.
Whenever Omnath or another Elemental you control dies, Omnath deals 3 damage to target creature or player.
5/5

Whisperwood, Omnath, and all the goodies BFZ brings us.

Programmer_112 says... #16
Maybe, but I think it's just for token value+Commander.
I really want to play him in Bloom Titan, although it's a bit Christmasland-y

I can't wait to see Iona's (probably) new card.
August 28, 2015 7:09 p.m. Edited.
IvoryFrost says... #18
So the artwork in rolling thunder for some reason reminds me of Grove of the Burnwillows.
Probably because Zendikar itself is pissed and setting eldrazi on fire.
August 28, 2015 7:15 p.m.
Subbing for my future lazy self. Cards look fun so far. Good for EDH and limited.
August 28, 2015 7:18 p.m.
HOLY SHIT! R/G OMNATH! OMNATH BE MAAAD!
also, R/W Iona anyone?
August 28, 2015 7:32 p.m.
Subbing. Let's see some planeswalkers and manlands now, wizards.
August 28, 2015 7:37 p.m.
Hulknath seems terrifying in a land(pardon the pun] with fetches.
I'll take 3 please
August 28, 2015 7:57 p.m.
Lol. I thought of you when I saw the new omnath FAMOUSWATERMELON.

The artwork so far is done with vibrant colors. I wonder if it keeps it up for the rest of the set.
August 28, 2015 7:59 p.m.
Rasta_Viking29 ~ I have a feeling that was a specific design choice to specifically contrast with devoid cards.
Could be just a blind thought on my part though.
I sincerely hope it keeps up
August 28, 2015 8:02 p.m.
IvoryFrost says... #27
Rasta_Viking29 Hopefully it's used in the full art lands.
August 28, 2015 8:03 p.m.
IvoryFrost ~ don't tease me bro. Lol. That would sweet.
Guess it's time to go preorder 4 fat packs so I can get a crap load of full art lands and hold for value
August 28, 2015 8:05 p.m.
IvoryFrost says... #29
Bellock86Well I remember some of the other Zen full arts having beautiful colour contrast which make me drool everytime I look at them.
Hopefully the fat packs don't spike in price :(
August 28, 2015 8:08 p.m.
canterlotguardian says... #31
Well. Here's to hoping my school check comes in by the time BFZ pre-orders start because I want that fucking Omnath omg.
August 28, 2015 9 p.m.
Comparatively to Rampaging Baloths, Omnath isn't THAT insane. He's really cool for flavor though.
August 28, 2015 9:13 p.m.
vishnarg Rampaging Baloths doesn't give your elemental tokens a lighting bolt shield. That is a pretty amazing effect for 1 more mana.
August 28, 2015 9:29 p.m.
They're very similar, and Baloth's was never big in standard, so I don't expect Omnath to be. But hey, I like him.
August 28, 2015 9:44 p.m.
IvoryFrost ~ I bought one of the original print fat packs from zendikar so I have tons of full arts still. They are quite gorgeous I agree.
August 28, 2015 11:16 p.m.
Hey, notice how Defiant Bloodlord's flavor text is a quote from Drana, Kalastria Bloodchief.
If we're getting a new Omnath (which is sick, btw), maybe we could see either a new Drana, possibly in or a reprint? In that case, could there be a cycle of Allied-paired mythic legendary creatures that are all current versions of legendaries from the original Zendikar block?
August 29, 2015 12:07 a.m.
I don't know if this will come into it but the demonic Ob Nixilis was just unshackled ;)
August 29, 2015 3:28 a.m.
JDMCRIB- Also dont forget about Kalitas, Bloodchief of Ghet or Anowon, the Ruin Sage possible some sort of vampire clique card?
August 29, 2015 3:29 a.m.
Defiant Bloodlord? Sanguine Bond, is that you?
Hedron Archive is a sort of weaker Thran Dynamo, but can be used as card draw late game. Not bad, I suppose.
Omnath is a nice card for EDH.
August 29, 2015 4:06 a.m.
Hi_diddly_ho_neighbor says... #41
Omnath! I want! Here's to hoping for a viable Zendikar's Roil + Omnath deck. With all the land tutor + etb effects from Origins this could be real fun!
August 29, 2015 4:07 a.m.
canterlotguardian says... #42
I already built my new Omnath EDH deck. I'll post the list on TO in a minute.
August 29, 2015 9:23 a.m.
TheNextRedDude says... #43
I saw that omnath last night at fnm... along with serum visions, BEST FNM EVER!
August 29, 2015 10:25 a.m.
mathimus55 says... #44
DarkLaw I'd prefer to say hedron archive is a stronger Mind Stone than a weaker Dynamo. I'd like to topdeck the archive way more late game than a dynamo
August 29, 2015 11:22 a.m.
Omnath elemental tribal EDH sounds fun... I've been looking for a new commander anyway
August 29, 2015 12:14 p.m.
@mathimus55 It's better than Sisay's Ring, that's for sure.
August 29, 2015 12:52 p.m.
GreenGhost says... #48
Well I couldn't wait. I already made a deck for Omnath, Locus of Rage on T/O. Interestingly enough this is the first time I've gotten excited enough about a new legendary to make a deck for them before they come out.
August 29, 2015 1:15 p.m.
here's the old omnath for comparison:
turn 1 or 2 kruphix effect depending on how efficient your legacy/modern fastramp is.
The new omnath costs 7 fricking mana. With Elvish Mystic and Generator Servant rotating out of standard, how am I supposed to cast this on turn 3?
August 29, 2015 1:22 p.m.
Oh wow, the art for the new Omnath is gorgeous. Me wants.
