AVR Spoilers 5

~
Happy Saturday MTG peeps,

Unfortunately, we could not get a post off yesterday to cover the new Avacyn Restored spoilers / previews so we will make up for that now.  We did however have an opportunity to get Friday Night Magic (FNM) over at OMG! Games where we only had time to get in three matches.  We did take two of the matches with our white / black token deck (featuring Bloodline Keeper), but failed to mount a defense against the business end of Vorapede and the like - Any suggestions ? - Just a shoot us any suggestions in the comment thingy below.

Anywhoos - let's have a look at those awesome new Avacyn Restored spoilers . . . we promise a truck load of posts latter discussing in detail how these may change the standard constructed game.

Yep - some amazing card arts and some slick cards.  We're already thinking about tweaking some of our existing decks or building completely new ones.  What new cards to date have got your juices flowing ?
