New Year's Eve Oath of the Gatewatch Spoilers came down from Wizards of the Coast today, and some of these are generating a lot of discussion!
    
     Oath of Jace is a Legendary Enchantment (weird, right?) that draws you cards, fueld delve and graveyard strategies, and lets you scry every turn! How is that bad?
     
     General Tazri is the Ally general that Commander and EDH players have been waiting for, and some people are already planning out their 5-color Ally decks for Standard. Tutoring an Ally is cool (especially considering it guarantees another Ally enter the battlefield trigger, and from you best Ally no less), and if you can actually activate its on-board ability, you're getting a huge anthem effect that can turn your little Ally guys into huge threats!
 
     Stone Forge Masterwork is the best equipment we've seen in Standard for a while now. Will it see any play, or will it go the route of Godsend? It works well with Stone Haven Outfitter, which was just spoiled the other day and is convieniently an Ally. Commander/EDH players who love tribal (so 90% of them) are going crazy over this one already, and I can't blame them.

     Deceiver of Form is the weirdest card since Void Winnower, but it has a lot of fun interactions, including Kokusho and Biovisionary in Modern/Commander/EDH, and in standard, we've got unblockable creatures, Omnath, and Bane of Bala Ged for it to work with!

     Skinning Tendrils is a perfect replacement for Drown in Sorrow, and has the ability to ruin Atarka Red, Tokens, and Aristocrats/Rally type decks (as long as they don't have their Husk out). 

     We also got to see Embodiment of Fury, a great uncommon for draft and G/R Landfall decks on the budget level, and we even got to see another personland, the G/B Hissing Quagmire!
