Yes, I think it's gonna make monoblack vampires a serious Standard contender for top spots, if nothing else. I kinda like the untapping Amulet, it sure seems useful, but I'm not sure yet HOW useful it realy is, and if devoting deck space to it would do any good at all. And gotta love Novablast Wurm, SERIOUSLY limited staple (it's a three-turn clock, no questions asked), and might even warrant sideboard space in Hypergenesis decks, and who knows in which other ones!

I too think that amulet is pimp. Good for lands that come into play tapped was my immediate thought. using arcane sanctum and jungle shrine on the turn you play em is sweet. The abyssal guy is insane, 6/6 flying trample for 2BB? Who cares u cant win, doom blade him when you batter your opponent! Im so dropping a couple of urge to feed in my nocturnus deck. |

Can't Doomblade him, though, he's black. Can Path to Exile him, however. He seems ok, at best, but I wouldn't deem him THAT insane. I'd much rather have Tombstalker. |

I'll have to disagree with you, Abyssal Persecutor is insane, last time a 6/6 creature for 2BB was on Onslaught and nearly every Deck played it, even if you had to pay 2 life points each turn, but this one's even stronger! I think it will be a must-have in each black and especially Black-White Deck. And I also must say, that I like Worldwake really much. It's a MtG expansion that I must say I really like to buy, not as Shadowmoor I didn't really like, Worldwake reminds me on old Dominiaria times.. *sigh* And once I am sentimental  I must say that I miss all these old Dominiara times. All these Morph effects, Storm and so many others, like Legions being a Creatures-Only Expansion... Time Spiral actually wasn't the same. |

I enjoyed Time Spiral quite a bit, and I still set my foot down on the 6/6 trampler, he's good, but we won't see him in every deck, and specially not in large quantities, you can bet that. I'd play him in Jund, and only because I can Pulse multiples if they're down, and Jund has also got Terminate. And I'd still not be so sure on what to cut to make room for him, so, yeah, Limited staple (but tricky to play with, requires some knowledge), Constructed-wise, it's still a bit hazy.

Oh, terminate.... I loved this one during old times...but I bet Abyssal Persecutor's price will rise to eternity.. uhh.. or maybe not SO high...but I think he'll get even more expensive then Elspeth, though

I am totally looking forward to making a man-lands deck with terra eternal. It will be so fun.
