Jace Beleren is way better than people give it credit for. I'm not saying it's too strong, but I am saying it's a cut above the other four. It's three mana, it can arrive at 5 loyalty if it looks even remotely in danger, it's really hard to kill it with damage through repeated +2s... probably...

You know, I was shitposting when I wrote this, but I thought about this a bit more and it could actually be interesting to respect that rules text in an otherwise non-Commander cube environment. Companions make for fun draft-arounds once in a while, it could be interesting to have the color...

They've had some vague UB issues before - I remember they could only sell the 40k cards as the entire precon, not put them in treasure chests at first, which led to some of the singles being very expensive and I don't know if they ever actually resolved that or just put the precons on sale...

Heroes' Hangout is my pick for card of the set so far, without the full spoiler. But we're getting that in a few days, so we'll see. oh, forgot this guy: I love Alpine Guides in theory, though I've never found one at the high power level I want. This is not that one either, but I think...

This is human, unlike Dire City Underrat, and it's got two toughness and is a party member while still being an outlaw, unlike Dire Fleet Hoarder. A lot of words for not a lot of actually strictly better, but I thought it was interesting! Hoarder still has a home for the Admiral Beckett Brass...

don't forget that Teferi, Temporal Archmage can be your commander that's four abilities

eat it, Imposing Sovereign, in so many ways

no clue who this guy is, but it's kind of a cool card - interesting to have a threat that doesn't die to sorcery-speed removal slash a weird Wilderness Reclamation Rampant Growth thing

https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/mtg-arena/through-the-omenpaths-mastery-details I am so confused by this set's digital version having Sliver art in it. What on earth?

I actually like this a lot! meanwhile we are also getting resonant fantasy concepts such as

condolences (I got my hopes up too)

it's Garna, Bloodfist of Keld if you're not A COWARD (I would also like this)

Leaping to WotC's defense here: the latter is definitely legendary so that you can't have two or more of them in play in casual Constructed. It's bad enough to untap one with Paradox Engine. It's just one of those safety-valve legendaries like Mindslaver to make it harder to do the really unfun...

High power, but I'm on 10/450 (sort of...): The Wandering Emperor/Jace, the Mind Sculptor/Liliana of the Veil/Chandra, Torch of Defiance/Garruk Wildspeaker - one for each color that can go in nearly any deck (I have ever had an aggressive enough white deck to not want TWE, but it's rare. I...

You missed the original "we need a Jeskai mana elf" from the day it was spoiled: Fatestitcher (it's not like, particularly good. but Fatestitcher is juuuust weird enough to do some filthy stuff...)

I am hoping for weird biopunk future. Spider cars for Spider Citizens to drive to their Spider Jobs.

Actually, we learned this yesterday! The spoiler will drop on September 8th: ...also if I'm reading the original announcement from April right every single one of these is just going to be "Through the Omenpaths", this one is OM1, the next one is OM2, and so on. which I hope I'm reading wrong...

it makes money off the pictures, to be fair - at least I think that's why you get Treasure when you see a menace attack, because you're selling copies of the Daily Bugle

there's Jolrael, Mwonvuli Recluse, the various Quirion Dryad/Deeproot Champion/Dragonsguard Elites of the world - it's not unheard of, it just rarely wants to be doing specifically Rampant Growth. that said, aiming for the specific overlap of... like, Explore, and Nature's Lore/Three Visits...

as someone who knows exactly enough about Spider-Man to get this joke: okay, yeah, I begrudgingly admit they nailed this one too
