The new set Zendikar has rolled out.
I've been off magic for a coupla years but, seeing as my partner works at the relevant store, we got a bunch of Zendikar related stuff at staff discount and started messing around.
I just built a Blue-White Kor tribal (The blue is non-creature spells, only) with elements of healing, counter-spell and the whole new 'landfall' idea. Haven't test-ran it yet, as my partner is still building her red-black something or other deck (bit scared, as she's got Sorin Markov, Black Planeswalker) from the cards we got, but It'll be interesting to see and play. But I did a few gag draws and I think I got a fair combination going.
I am really really loving the look of Armament Master* as well as a few of the common equipment artifacts, and fully intend to make a sweet combo with Conquerers Pledge**.
How about everyone else, how's do you like Zendikar?
*
Armament Master -
Creature - Kor Soldier
Rarity: R
Cost: WW
Other Kor creatures you control get +2/+2 for each Equipment attached to Armament Master
**
Conquerors Pledge
Sorcery
Rarity: R
Cost: 2WWW
Kicker {6} (You may pay an additional {6} as you cast this spell.) Put six 1/1 white Kor Soldier creature tokens onto the battlefield. If Conqueror's Pledge was kicked, put twelve of those tokens onto the battlefield instead.

I went to the pre-release. got a load of nice rares but i just sat and drooled over the 2 blood tributes i pulled.
heart heart heart
Blood Tribute 4BB
Sorcery Zendikar Rare
Kicker - tap an untapped vampire you control.
Target player loses half his or her life, rounded up. If Blood Tribute was kicked, you gain life equal to the life lost this way.
Sanguine Bond now has a new best friend.
other note worthy cards would be Sorin Markov and the 4/6 Cat Beast that has the built in test of endurence.

I just don't have enough of them or the right supporting cards to build a deck around it. Playing against Sorin will be white's nightmare in Standard for a while now, I think.

So far I like Zendikar alright, but I am a bit disappointed in some of the burn spells - they seem to focus more on targeting creatures than players and I would definately have liked to see more than just one zombie appear in the set - but overall, I shouldn't complain. The new mechanics are pretty sweet, Trap cards are nice, Landfall is sweet and Intimidate is kind of a fun replacement for Fear. I

My only complaint about Zendikar is the amount of tribal stuff that's just been a constant in the last few sets limited you to only playing cards with other cards in those sets alot of the time. At least they're letting up a abit on the amount of broken cards the release.
