BDM: If not, are there any cards that help or hose existing decks?
Ken Krouner: Ghostly Prison was a key card. This really needed to be printed to give control decks a shot. Imi Statue looks good in conjunction with Ghostly Prison, but I fear it isn’t quite enough on its own.
Zvi Mowshowitz: Imi Statue gets a "good hustle" and there a few other nice cards for standard of course, but I think, "meet the new metagame -- same as the old metagame."
Mike Flores: Imi Statue and Cranial Extraction are the obvious answers but the reason I think that Sakura-Tribe Elder is so good is because it really strengthens the ability of Tooth and Nail, blue-green, and black-green decks to fight Affinity in the early game. Sakura-Tribe Elder puts the breaks on Arcbound Ravager and sets the game up for a bomb turn.Nezumi Shortfang is going to destroy any slow deck without point removal, from blue- or white-based control to Tooth and Nail. I have no idea how some of these decks will be able to fight Nezumi Shortfang’s A game and also race it with no hand after it has flipped into The Rack form... that’s six a turn!
Aeo Paquette: Well, there are two cards that stand out for this category, one of them which is in the top five for this reason alone -- Cranial Extraction. It seems quite good against Tooth and Nail. The other card I would think could hose an existing deck would be Imi Statue. It’s not mentioned above because I’m not completely sure just how much hosing this hose card can hose. . .

新しいアーキタイプでなく、既存のアーキタイプがどう強化されるかの予想です。
特に注目されているのは、アンチ親和デッキに入る《忌みの像》です。やはり、親和がメタの中心にあることが予想されています。
残念ながら、《忌みの像》は親和対策としては不十分でした。理由は「３マナでは遅い」「《頭蓋囲い》をつけたアタッカー１体をアンタップするだけでも十分」「アーティファクトでない親和持ちのアタッカーもいる」などです。
トッププレイヤーと言えども、カードパワーを正確に予想するのは難しいのでしょう。
