New Year's Spoilers!

So we got two new spoiled cards for the New Year.

Comet Storm:
This one seems to have the masses (at least the masses at MTG Salvation) in a small froth. "Shouldn't be mythic." "Not as good as Banefire for a finisher." "Not as good as Earthquake for a big sweeper." "Not as good as Fallout for a little sweeper."

I find it intriguing that it is being compared to so many cards. That's an indication that it might have merit. If it can do the jobs of three other cards decently, it might just be good enough for constructed.

This card looks like it will be valuable in W/B/R control if it is joined by a good counterspell in WWK. Being able to keep mana untapped and then launch a big face-melter at your opponent's end step looks good to me.

Aaaaand, some elf got spoiled too.

Joraga Warcaller, G (Rare)
Creature - Elf Warrior
Multikicker 1G
Joraga Warcaller enters the battlefield with a +1/+1 counter on it for each time it was kicked.
Other Elf creatures you control get +1/+1 for each +1/+1 counter on Joraga Warcaller.
1/1

Meh...elves. They always seem kinda neat, but then someone kills one of your elves and the whole house of cards falls apart.
