Some truly awful art in this set. This might be worse than Dr. Who for me.

Only two definite inclusions for me so far: The Queen of Dale The white two-drop slot might be the deepest I have in my cube with so many options over the years, but I can see this one sticking around for a while. I'm a fan of passive hate effects and this does a great job of being a pest in...

It's gonna be a short one for me, only two cards after my first scan over the whole set, but someone get the Testing/Includes up for this set. I'm curious to see if it will end up having more hidden gems than expected this time next year.

Elffinity baby.

This card is awesome. I'm a fan of passive hate and this does a great job of being a pest in fair W/x decks against a plethora of removal or counterspells ala Surrak, Elusive Hunter. Even in the face of a wrath you get to benefit by sculpting your hand for a rebuild. More ways to loot in white...

I'm glad that they're using this sick art on an actual card. Seems pretty strong if you get to untap with it and get to play a wrath to clear the board. Much more excited for this set than anything else on the calendar this year.

Not a Star Trek fan, never really watched it ever in my life, but there will probably be a handful of cards that get there for me mechanics and art-wise like the Marvel set. I think I'm pretty much out on all the cards depicting human characters because it's too uncanny valley to me, but stuff...

There's a lot of depth to this archetype nowadays, especially with the plethora of cards that let you discard and/or self-mill to accrue additional value. Through my voucher system I've updated with Marauding Mako, Vengevine, and Hollow One so that archetype is definitely possible to draft once...

I think I'm leaning towards giving this guy a run as well: Loki, God of Mischief Initially I thought the ability was a little limited, but the more I thought about it you only really need to draw two cards with him over the course of a game to really get your money's worth off a two drop in...

This is a testing/includes thread. Post pictures using /ci or a text list using /c with what cards you plan to include and what cards you plan to test. Well, since no one else wanted to... I'm actually a fan of most of the Marvel movies having grown up watching them over over the past 15...

Haven't really run into any problems with theft cards in the past, it mostly comes down to how vigilant your playgroup is when it comes to gathering up all their stuff once a match is over. The actual gameplay element of theft is easy enough to manage with players who are familiar with that kind...

I don't know about attack alone since that ends up running into the Voltron problem versus efficient spot removal, but vertical growth is something that W/x Aggro needs since it doesn't get reach via burn to close out game. For W/x it's more about applying pressure in the early-mid part of the...

I'd go with Abbot personally, just not a fan of keyword counters in paper. Unfortunate that playing it on curve makes the impulse draw mostly useless, but it does give it greater utility if you play it later in the game. Just depends on what you'd want out of that slot.

Holy shit there are way too many supplemental cards in this set. I'm just going to wait for the Testing/Includes thread to see what people end up running. A lot of these are out of consideration for me just based on art alone, but there are a ton of really interesting designs.
