Mine is Master of Waves.
This just looks insanely fun, though he's already so expensive I doubt I'll get to pick up a playset for a long time.

I was lucky enough to pick up a Polukranos in my Sealed pool at one of the prereleases; I still need a Mistcutter Hydra, though. ...I'm building a Hellion/Hydra tribal EDH deck, that's why. |

Nothing, really. There are a couple of fun cards plus cards to fit in my future "sea creature" EDH deck but nothing that really excites me, like I generally have in other sets. |

Anything with the words "Enchantment Creature" in the type line has my johnny brain screaming. I love the flavor of this set, but wow talk about trying to take a step down on power. There are a number of cards that are strictly worse version of existing cards. Is it possible to have a flavorful set that doesn't reign back on the power? |

I like Ashiok and the scry lands. |

The scry lands are pretty nice, though I do find it funny how putting scry 1 on a Guildgate type land takes it from common to rare. ~SE++ |

Yeah, they aren't incredibly powerful (although I think people are underestimating a free scry 1) but it's the best we're going to get, which I think is a good thing. We need worse mana in standard. |

No angels =(. That said, nothing so far stood out to me yet, maybe in the future as more matches are played. |

I can't really pick just one (I'm very indecisive) but I'd probably lean towards Thoughtseize - it may be a reprint but I may finally be able to afford a couple of copies  .As far as new cards, I can't pick just one, but if I did it would be one of the following; Xenagos, the Reveler Stormbreath Dragon Fleecemane Lion Ashen Rider - (Recurring Nightmares new BFF) All of the Gods are pretty solid as well (Thassa being my fave) |

I thought after Avacyn Restored everyone would be as sick of angels as I am. I wouldn't say it made me sick of angels, but it did make me realize that they don't work as a tribe within a set. I mean, it really only had a couple of good ones; namely Sigarda and Resto. Avacyn and Gisela in the right deck are pretty solid (Usually EDH or a casual Reanimator). |

Overall, I relly like the flavor and art of the set, and the theme is cool. 1/0 tokens are boss. |

Probably Artisan of Forms. I want to target it with Cackling Counterpart or a kicked Rite of Replication then cipher a Hidden Strings somewhere and watch the fireworks as I get an ever-changing army. |

Hmm, Herald of War is the only card by far that I think really supports angel tribal but sadly, it isn't enough. Still, waiting for muses to make a comeback in the Theros block. |

I'm mostly excited for the Temple of Silence for my WB deck. But of the entire set, I'm really excited for Hopeful Eidolons. |

Honestly, I think Warriors' Lesson has huge huge huge potential, and I can't wait to try to make it work in something. |

I opened two of those during prerelease, which was pretty good as a heroic trigger at only one  , especially when I targeted my Anthousa, Setessan Hero with it. Just thought of Prophet of Kruphix, which I soooo want for my EDH deck.
