Sorry if I made it confusing, what I mean is do I have to exile a card each turn to use the Scepter's ability?No you do not, you cast the card you imprinted on it every time you activate it.

So yeah, as gurall said, it's ability is saying that you can cast the imprinted (the exiled) card when you activate it.

Nice, I'm definitely running 4 of those Scepter with Path to Exile and Sword to Plowshares in my exile deck.

So, Happy Christmas, fellow planeswalkers.
Kinda funny. Got a Mind Sculptor for Christmas from my uncle. I also plan to use some of my money on a set of Snapcaster Mage, which I'm sure is gonna be a good long-term investment.
EDIT: And, oooh, a look at Gruul's new mechanic

Going to enjoy the new Guurl mechanic. This helps a lot of the Red/Green Aggro decks, and I can see a lot of that happening, especially with cards like Rancor, Titanic Growth, and Giant Growth that is used in Standard now.

Desecration Demon is a very annoying card, just saying.
Interesting Gruul mechanic. I wonder if there will be very good play land sorcery cards

There kinda are cards like that in Zendikar. The set made lands important, having cards with "landfall" and such. Landfall was the mechanic, whenever a land entered the battlefield, the card had some sort of additional effect.

I love landfall. I just hope they release cards like that in standard.

I actually think you might want more Umezawa, since you can rebuy all those kill spells. He's a sort of black Snapcaster Mage, just having the drawback of being Legendary. Also, I'm not a big fan of Blind Zealot, but I haven't played a game with this deck, so I don't know, maybe it is good. I just feel you have so many ways to kill things that you may just want things to bash with rather than having a sacrificial creature to kill more. You have Royal Assassin as a repeatable killspell already and Umezawa to buy back those spells you've spent.
EDIT: Aha... So I know my friend who plays a lot of Naya in damn near every format I think is gonna like some of the new Boros cards. At the very least, it looks good enough for that Humans deck to go White-Red rather than White-Green, to me. In any case, I like free, repeatable Lightning Helixes (however the plural is said/spelled)

Was just look at this card and contemplating on the other effects that Battalion will have. I'm going to re-edit my Boros-Standard deck when this card and Gatecrashers in general come out.

I know I'm making a token deck now for sure after seeing Battalion, and I'm assuming there will be token making for em. And I'm reminded, I know Maro (I think it was) said that all the new mechanics were made to work well with the old mechanics... I need to remember what the old Boros keyword mechanic was.
EDIT: And now Orzhov. My friend thought the mechanic was very interesting. I like it, too.

If I can find Extort on cheaper monsters, this will be a very interesting mechanic.
By the way, I'm trying to build a casual deck that just exiles creatures. I probably won't be using this on mill or burn decks but might as well give it a try.
4 Shimian Specter
4 Oblivion Ring/Vindicate (The Ring won't do anything on indestructible but V is very flexible)
4 Journey to Nowhere/Circle of Protection (depends on what color I'm fighting)
4 Isochron Scepter
4 Swords to Plowshares
4 Path to Exile
4 Unmake
4 Sadistic Sacrament
2 Cranial Extraction?
2 Memoricide
2 Final Judgment
4 Scrubland
4 Isolated Chapel
4 Marsh Flats
6 Plains
4 Swamp

How do you win other than bashing with Shimian? That can be Extirpated, then you'd be out of luck.

I hope Boros and Gruul have cool cards for my Mayeal Commander.
EDIT: I think Radiate was the old Boros mechanic, but I forget what it did.
