I don't think there is one yet, at least not one posted recently. If there is, feel free to correct me.
Spirit of the Hunt
Creature - Wolf Spirit
Flash
When ~ etb, each other creature you control that's a wolf or werewolf gets +0/+3 until end of turn
3/3

That werewolf seems pretty boring but I will admit in this standard it's very helpful. Avacyn, Radient Flames, and Languish can all suck it unless they manage to discard your wolf.
July 4, 2016 12:16 a.m.
Its the defense piece they were missing, any Werewolf deck that doesn't want to be a glass cannon needs 4 lol
July 4, 2016 12:20 a.m.
Summary Dismissal. Now THAT'S a card. Well come Wizards. /clap /encore
CanadianShinobi Would have been amazing at 3cmc but hey, this is a start.
July 4, 2016 12:54 a.m.
Very nice art and contrast of colour. It will look good in foil.
July 4, 2016 2:17 a.m.
Based on what you typed about what wotc said, making does not mean reprinting. So I believe in the possibility of the return of Damnation (this would be a fitting set for it with new art too).
July 4, 2016 2:28 a.m.
That's fair.. it would still sort of blow my mind if Damnation was reprinted.

I won't be back until a few hours after the new spoilers. If this is the card MaRo promised...

Legendary spider is something that we did not have before... Would be a legendary troll.

United Resistance1RRSorceryEscalate 1 (Pay this cost for each mode chosen beyond the first.)
Choose one or both -
Target player discards all cards in his or her hand, then draws that many cards.
United Resistance deals 4 damage to target creature.
United Resistance deals 3 damage to target opponent.

The new 2UU counterspell is a BIG DEAL.
Countering all types of abilities is huge, invalidating a lot of combos in modern (namely all), while simultaneously working great in standard to prevent a lot of spells too. Hangarback walker makes no tokens when it dies, Emrakul, the Promised End is countered on all accounts, Eldritch Evolution is sacrficing a Kitchen Finks will be countered completely. Exiling spells works great with processing as well.
July 4, 2016 5:23 a.m.
United Resistance :O NEEED! Nekusar desires it greatly :)
July 4, 2016 5:24 a.m.
Sadly, it says target player rather than all players, which for me makes non-Nekusar playable.
July 4, 2016 5:29 a.m.
So now players can make a Golgari Spider tribal EDH deck... It would be so boring.
July 4, 2016 5:43 a.m.
While yes, it does say target player, it can also be used for different means such as removal, and is all around great for standard. However, having thought about it, the reason I won't run it is because I believe Escalate cannot be used if you copy the spell via Reverberate and co.
It IS good for Duel Commander versions of Nekusar though.
Since my irl Nekusar deck is not built yet, I would run this if I pull it, but by no means would I go out of my way for it as I would with say Reforge the Soul and Wheel of Fortune
July 4, 2016 5:51 a.m.
That red card is CRAZY strong.
Spider trolling is very much in line with MaRo's comments and personality...
Every time I am on the fence about buying packs (and lots of packs) of a new set there is 1 rare that just throws any chance of that out the window. For this set that spider would be it.
I still have nightmares about all of the Arachnus Spinner I pulled back in The Darkening.

That's going to be so annoying if the legendary spider is what MaRo was talking about. The number of people demanding a legendary spider is negligible at best. But then, WotC troll their players constantly, so it wouldn't be terribly surprising.
July 4, 2016 6:10 a.m.
I'd go and build a Spider Tribal EDH deck... But spiders are so... Mediocre. So in terms of good cards we have:
- Arachnogenesis
- Spider Spawning
- Adaptive Automaton
- Some of the mono green Populate cards if we go Token spam route,
...
And that's it. Correct me if I'm wrong but there really isn't anything great about the deck as it stands.
July 4, 2016 6:15 a.m.
I just got a pretty good omen that the spider thing is real... right as I was about to gatherer search for Arachnogenesis and point out how that will be needed x4 for this new casual spider deck AN ACTUAL SPIDER started slowly descending from the ceiling right between my face and my laptop... as I'm laying here in bed, the #1 place I should be able to feel safe. shiver.
July 4, 2016 6:18 a.m.
A legendary spider? Damn it, I hate spiders...thank goodness most of them aren't that good, nor does this legendary have access to red for Dragonlair Spider.
United Resistance, on the other hand, I might want. I don't know yet.

I'm going to guess that the Spider isn't what MaRo was talking about. Wouldn't something big that the community has been asking for be spoiled through the Mothership? The Spider was spoiled by iplaymtg.com.
July 4, 2016 9:11 a.m.
The Gitrog Monster deserved to be legendary. This spider is kinda lame. If it was jund colors it would have made for a much better edh general

Spider tribal modern incoming!
EDH wouldn't work because of how many actual good spider cards exist, and simgleton.

AwezomePozzum says... #29
Has anyone seen Nephalia Academy yet?
Land (Uncommon)
If a spell or ability an opponent controls causes you to discard a card, you may reveal that card and put it on top of your library instead of putting it anywhere else.
(Taps for 1 colorless mana)

Anyone find it funny that the Legendary Werewolf that we were promised for a long while is much less EDH viable than a random Legendary Spider that was just spoiled?
July 4, 2016 10:31 a.m.
Deckologist says... #31
When I see "wouldn't work in EDH" all I do is remember that people made Mishra, Artificer Prodigy decks that work off of his ability.

According to MythicSpoiler, it was posted on the Mothership.

Her +1 is decent against the weenie and token decks, but her -2 is kind of meh outside of Delirium and her ult is backbreaking (as it should be), but are you ever going to get there? At least the zombies don't enter tapped. I'm not necessarily disappointed, but I'm not ecstatic.

Haven't seen the Oath of Lili. Can someone post it?
This lili looks real. Not a essential reprint of Liliana of the Veil like the last one was
July 4, 2016 10:45 a.m.
beakedbard says... #42
Eh i get LotV is broken as hell but that doesn't mean you need to make the new 3cmc Liliana almost unplayable Wizards. I mean look an Nissa's 3cmc card as a comparison.
July 4, 2016 10:48 a.m.
ducttapedeckbox says... #44
This Lili just needs to be build around. LotV can be slot into nearly any black deck and do well. Nissa can be too (for green) to a certain extent- you just need to be running creatures, which if you're not doing in green, you're probably doing something wrong.
July 4, 2016 10:52 a.m.
I gotta say, I love the new Liliana, but the flavor text for Liliana's Oath is perfect...
"I'll keep Watch. Happy now?"
July 4, 2016 10:57 a.m.
ducttapedeckbox says... #48
Also, 'Nephalia Academy' is probably Modern playable. Pretty much nulls Thoughtseize, Inquisition of Kozilek, etc. Downside is that you have to play a colorless land.

CanadianShinobi says... #49
I'm still remarkably underwhelmed thus far with this set. There are some glimmers here and there, but nothing that really excites me.
DrFunk27 if Summary Dismissal had been 3cmc I'd have thought that WotC had lost their minds. Mind you, I still like the card, it's pretty unique.

Thanks to Nephalia Academy, I may actually have a decent match-up against BW Control now!

Providence seems like an EDH auto include.... Lol /sarcasm
