I like how Wizards has been changing the game subtly and adroitly over the last couple of years. One of the things they've done is to insert cards in core sets that affect the metagame for a couple of months before everything rotates in October. This year, they've reprinted Mutavault, a card that came out during Lorwyn block.
Yes, I know it is meant for Modern but I can't help think that it was always designed to be in Innistrad block. Placing it in M14 allowed other cards to shine temporarily but it also fleshes out the theme of a tribal set by having the premier man-land appear at the most appropriate time. Now I can add this to a human or zombie deck for more fun and power. It'll give control decks fits and allow for more innovations to surface. Goblin deck anyone?
