Note: Jiag Shi is not unique despite having a descriptor.

Mr. David Pan sounds pretty fierce. Is this by any chance Mr. David Lo Pan from Big Trouble in Little China? Forcing the Truth sounds pretty nice too with a two-in-one effect, I think Syndicate is the winner of this set.

Wow, a lot of card spoilers for one day :) I'll have to read through these again in more detail when I get off work.

"Shut up, Mr. Burton! You are not brought upon this world to get it! "

I like the direction Yog is taking. It allows not being forced to commit to stories in order to mill.

There are some REALLY interesting cards in this set. Shifting Sands looks like a winner too. If the rest of the packs in this cycle are like this I think the game may have gotten much nastier. Yay!
