Yeah, I thought this was going to be a swan song for "ludicrously overpowered characters" (hence the frankly ludicrously easy removal of all 3 Eldrazi and the death of Avacyn) but somehow both Sorin and Nahiri survived.
Lol wut?
EDIT: That new angel seems meh.
What? No. no. no. no.
He just was going to finish her by taking her blood. She instead took his freedom.

With regards to the Flight of Nightmares, did anything ever come of Flight Moonsilver?

What's the point if the only rules breaking is a not regular but not unseen deck creation rule and a supertype?
That's frankly a rather boring card, almost vanilla.
Second take:
(They're legendary because the video series is called Legendrule dummy)

Considering "hand or graveyard" for the third ability.

Today's spoilers are nuts. That GW dude might be better in company decks than Avacyn. Blue song of the dryads is nuts. Spirit familiar is nuts.

It's better than Avacyn in a removal-light mirror, but I think for the most part Avacyn is better.

much better, kinda funny. Leaves the battlefield instead of a die trigger would be bonkers.

That doesn't make Vampires. You have to drink a tincture made of Angel's Blood to become a Vampire on Innistrad.

Doing bad things to Angels seems to be the way of becoming a vampire in MtG.
That or Eldrazi infection.

So Sorin went for the anime battle trope of "I will now finish you off in the way that creates the biggest opening for you to have a surprise victory!"

I think the cards are actually about equal in the mirror. All the instant speed removal in the format is basically grasp of darkness or exiles, so Avacyn's effect isn't as good as it would be if say, Hero's Downfall was in the format. I've actually won games that I would have struggled a lot more in because I forced my opponent's Avacyn to flip and kill all my opponent's own creatures. Generally I think Avacyn is actually worse against removal heavy opponents and is at her best when she can clear the board in creature mirrors and swing a couple times for the win.
New dude means company doesn't have to worry about hitting the 5th land for a massive swing, and the effect is even more devastating in the mirror because your 2/3s kill their 2/3s. Against removal heavy decks you still get haste damage and lifegain as long as you have at least one other creature. Furthermore, the new guy doesn't die to ultimate price and the difference between 3 and 4 toughness is mostly meaningless when it comes to actual removal being played in Standard,
It's close either way, though.

You forget Avacyn's built in wrath which is often quite relevant. She also has evasion built in, both of that make her invaluable for the GW matchup.

I noticed a locked thread about the Martin Shkreli thing which mentioned another thread, and after some searching, I found it.
Take three or take two?

On the subject of the full spoiler, I'd bet there's some sick Equipment being hidden in the full thing.

I'd take two but add a mandatory draw a card lose a life when she ETBs

I think it works fine on angels. Being supernatural beings the practicality argument doesn't make much sense to be applied to them, and if the angels are to be dressed up then I'd prefer kneesocks over boob armor.

Decent limited fodder.
It's a neat design. That reminds me, there's still that art revealed early on of six devils that hasn't appeared on a card yet.

Or tops.I'd laugh if he was wearing the thigh boots though.
Actually, looking closely... maybe he is?

This can be a 3 for 1. Pretty good. Devil tokens are always hella annoying to deal with.
couldn't even make it an instant so no unless your opponent is dumb

If you want to just get into a game without worrying about deck building, you can buy a Duel Deck. You could also get two Intro Packs, but they might be too far on the basic side.
If you're fine with deck building, buy a Deck Builder's Toolkit and buy singles online to round out the decks you make.
I think two of the Deck Builder's Toolkits are the way to go for us.

Do both of you already know how to play and build decks? Actually making decks is by far the most intimidating part of Magic, so I wouldn't recommend going straight to that for beginners.
We have an idea of the basics from other smaller deck building games, and we think that would be one of the more interesting parts of the game.
If you're looking at buying two deck builders toolkits I would look at getting a duel deck and a deckbuilders toolkit. Use the card from the kit to change the preconstructed decks some. It is one of the easier ways to ease into building a deck, since you will still have a skeleton. The toolkits themselves won't really have enough stuff to build a deck, but are really good at getting stuff to augment a deck and have enough variety for various types of decks.
Also, don't be afraid to look up decks online. You don't have to build it exactly, but you can get a frame of mind for what currently works well from the sets. It will help you understand the basic archetypes as well.
Or, if you don't mind spending an extra $10 you can each get an intro deck and a toolkit. Again, you get the skeleton of a deck and can swap stuff out.

Yeah, buying a Duel Deck / two Intro Packs and a Deck Builder's Toolkit is probably the best solution.

If it was may it would be pretty insane. Still a really cool card
