This week we were treated to spoilers by Gavin Verhey on his tumblr!
Hilarious spelling mistake and subsequent mockery aside, this guy answers his own question. If we always got a preview card from the new set in an FTV we would have gotten one in FTV: Annihilation. We didn't. He noticed. Seems like there's no need to jam a substandard angel from the next block in there just to satisfy a "rule" that has been the exception more times than it's been the rule. There was no preview card in the last FTV, so it seems unlikely that there will be one in this FTV, or at the very least unnecessary.
Also, it's unlikely that Kaalia will be in this FTV because of its high price and its recent second printing in Commander's Arsenal, not because Kaalia isn't an angel. Dragonstorm wasn't a dragon, either.
Kaalia also cheats Dragons into play, but no one speculated on a Kaalia appearance in FTV: Dragons. Comparing Dragonstorm to Kaalia isn’t fair. You could argue that Entreat the Angels could be in FTV: Angels. But Kaalia would be out of place – she isn’t Angel specific like Dragonstorm is Dragon Specific.
Because fav Dragons preceded the commander set….
Autocorrect took my FTV and turned it into fav…grr
I realized this point after I clicked Reply. Man we need a way to edit our posts!
Triangle of War reprint? Is the Reserve List no longer sacred? Maybe this means that we can finally see future FTV sets containing cards that are long overdue for reprint, like Weakstone, Flow of Maggots, and Political Trickery.
Citanul Centaurs tribal!
My money is on Barbed Sextant. I’m dumping them all before it’s too late.
