Descend as a mechanic makes me hope there's a self-mill deck in standard once the dust settles on this set. Ironically, some of the cards I'm most excited to build around in the new set are the green and blue 1-drop creatures though
Thanks for your takes! I was wondering what you think of the 1G 1/1 explore creature, seems quite solid. Hopefully enough to make mono green (somewhat) viable again?
Spoiler season…it was a hot minute without something new 😂 Cards are looking cool tho, hopefully they see play not just fade away instantly in constructed.
honestly MTG probably can never go back because they did this jank backwards design of just make stuff and ban it later for so long, that new cards have to be crazy just to compete but honestly, if they can tough it out for 2 years, it would be great if they did go back to a slightly healthier design model.
I only preordored the dino commander deck from the set. Last 4-5 sets was so boring. Eldrain was a fail for me. Still playing mono red and alchemy mono red (my mono red not the copy past you see everywhere).
Wilds of Eldraine had quite some impact on standard, enabling new archetypes such als golgari so I am hopeful this set can have similar impact? Or do you think WOE is stronger than the new set on what we’ve seen so far?
Your doubt that the set will impact standard is forever showing 😂 As long as some cards can make their way through into play I am happy. The long standard rotation kinda reminds me of the older formats in the sense that sets don't change it tremendously but do influence it.
these new cards can't come fast enough... the meta is a ****show of token decks... all I play against is Wedding Announcement/Wandering Emperor/Leyline Binding/Ossification/Virtue of Loyalty.... binding and emperor need to go ...
Perfect timing, got me a fresh coffee to do dailies. Lets see what mr bird has to say about those cards that I am pretty excited about
Great analysis. Also, it took you 18 minutes and 51 seconds to mention the S word... (Sheoldred) 🎉

You mean the 1 drop? It looks pretty good! Not sure ig it’s enough for monoG to come back, but the dino might help.
@@krowzmtgyes I meant the 1 drop and yes the 6/6 for three mana looks cool, def going to try these out in a Nissa deck
Id rather have lower power level. Power creep has been a major problem over the years.
1000% this is why most are very disappointed with no rotation

WoE looked much stronger imo. Some cards really jumped out like the virtues. But we haven’t seen the full set so, hard to say for now.
@@krowzmtgthanks for the quick double reply and makes sense!
