while it's a bit higher power, it's only a bit, and sometimes you really want to do it right away: The Cruelty of Gix

it's a space opera set, space opera rules mean humans are like cockroaches, we get everywhere

Humans can be in space! They have spaceships same as the Kavu and everyone else. Seriously though I don't think it's ever treated as lore-worthy that "there are humans here" in what I've read so far. They just kinda are.

Right? Like, I get how it's substantially worse than Luminarch Aspirant at doing specifically the counter thing, but... 3/2? That's an insane stat line!

...for those times when Luminarch Aspirant just wasn't killing them fast enough and/or you needed to get through a blocker? I mean, I get it, combo with station, but. I woulda played just the first mode in retail limited! I like the indestructible tricks lately! cool, if kind of... eminently...

yeah, this is the two drop: ("Biome-Chan Engineer", as a friend of mine instantly said) also some stuff I just think is neat: though I do wonder why Dyadrine has 1 toughness Goyf-style

You could pretend it's the Construct from Kayla's Command, the Spawn from Spawning Pit, the Pincher from Summoning Station, or, my personal favorite, good old Urza's Factory. Turns out it's not a very common set of stats to have!

First one's super cool, second one's just an above-rate piece of cardboard. Can't say I expected this theme, but also, it makes sense with Lander tokens and so on. Interesting with nonbasics. For those of you who are high enough on the power curve to have Field of the Dead, rejoice. I...

tell me, with a straight face, that you didn't instantly parse this as "uncommon" (the card itself is Inkmoth Nexus, whatever, that's not what's important here)

My closest guess is Yotian Frontliner, which is definitely about Standard-playable power level (I have played it, but obviously only in bad decks.) Rather than type synergies and unearth, Mite has "becomes tapped" and pump synergies. No clue where that puts it in the grand scheme of things. The...

they put a Stuffy Doll style combo right in the set! I get it, this is for Station, but it's also just a good aggressive card.

It's interesting to me that - while clearly still an EDH-centric design - it does something different in a 40 card format (you likely get fewer lands, but now you draw all spells) than a 100 card one. I wonder how much design space there is if they specifically aim for that?

this is cool, casting it off eight lands basically gets every land remaining in your 40-card deck (and, you know, a ward 3 24/24, whatever)

This card does exactly what it was intended to do. As in, I laughed really hard at "deals 100 damage". Now, that said, while I thiiiink we're not there yet... Volcano Hellion Nahiri's Wrath Star of Extinction Self-Destruct Mogg Maniac Screaming Nemesis Boros Reckoner Spiteful Sliver...

no respect for the ol' Nuka-Cola Vending Machine :(
