The new Planechase set has 21 new cards that will be legal in eternal formats. SPOILER

Pick up these ones:

QuoteName:    Sakashima's Student
Cost:    2UU
Type:    Creature - Human Ninja
Pow/Tgh:    0/0
Rules Text:    Ninjutsu {1}{U}
You may have Sakashima's Student enter the battlefield as a copy of any creature on the battlefield, except it's still a Ninja in addition to its other creature types.

Cheap clones are widely played, and even playing full price is a fair bargain, which you'll often be doing. Needs a deck that can use ninjutsu benefically, but potential is obvious.

QuoteName:    Beetleback Chief
Cost:    2RR
Type:    Creature - Goblin Warrior
Pow/Tgh:    2/2
Rules Text:    When Beetleback Chief enters the battlefield, put two 1/1 red Goblin creature tokens onto the battlefield.

Obvious pickup for obvious deck.

Quote
Name:    Baleful Strix
Cost:    UB
Type:    Artifact Creature - Bird
Pow/Tgh:    1/1
Rules Text:    Flying, deathtouch
When Baleful Strix enters the battlefield, draw a card.

Blue Wall of Blossoms, we salute you. Except this blocks and trades with anything and carries gear.

QuoteName:    Shardless Agent
Cost:    1GU
Type:    Artifact Creature - Human Rogue
Pow/Tgh:    2/2
Rules Text:    Cascade

Close to Bloodbraid Elf in power level. Most decks in colour should at least consider running it.

shardless agent is nowhere near bloodbraid elf in terms of power. you are in u/g when you are running him, that means you run at the very least 4-5 counterspells, most ikely more. i dont wanna be cascading into a counterspell. you run alot less permanents in u/g than in r/g generally, so this card is kinda iffy. its not bad in any way, but shouldnt be compared to bloodbraid (haste is a huge deal too).

This is true. Also BBE finding a three mana card can just put the game away by itself whereas Shardless Agent hitting anything that costs two is just kind of nice. It's still a decent card so there isn't anything wrong with him per se, but comparing him to Bloodbraid just sounds so... wrong :)

Baleful Strix has a very restrictive mana cost, so there is only a handful of decks he can fit into. Seems a bit overhyped because of that. Card is quite sweet though.

I do like the fact that all these cards are roleplayers. Synergy seems to be severely underrated at the moment so these make me happy.
