So, I know this is a full reprint set, but have you seen the spoilers so far?

No, not the box toppers. Whatever...

Someone did right by this set :)

PS. I'm also very excited that they, finally, decided to give a Frantic Search a reprint!

I have wanted this in a more modern version for more than 10 years.

It's pretty perfect. New border, legendary border flourish, colorless mana symbol, flavor text divider. I almost want to cube with it again, but it doesn't fit in the cube I want to build. Exceedingly fine choice for a reprint though!

Not give me a Smokestack reprint Wizards!

I've been tempted to Phyrexian Tower in my cube for years to support my aristocrats package. Does anyone have any experience running it outside of a utility land draft??

I would imagine that it's probably powerful enough to be featured as a draftable land on its own. The only reason I have it in my ULD currently is because I have Volrath's Stronghold taking up a slot in the main cube and don't want to have two lands with the same color identity.

Apart from the beautiful, beautiful Vengeful Rebirth, Slippery Bogle and Spoils of the Vault stand out as especially awesome to me. I also much prefer the new Frantic Search to the old one, even though I think even better art could be made. Little Dead Riding Hood also made me chuckle :)

And you missed a bunch of new art! I mean, a lot :) Part 1:

Together with your post, that's all of it as far as I can tell.

I love the new art for Through the Breach. It's so cheeky :) Especially because you could pull that off in this set :D
Seismic Assault is a nice reinterpretation of the original art.

I'm afraid I'm also going to have to get that new Life from the Loam art.

We can't all be winners though... I'll leave you with this old art.

I get that the old art could be improved upon, but... The new Spirit Cairn is seriously lackluster. Noah Bradley has painted some very evocative pieces (who doesn't love History of Benalia? And Karn's Temporal Sundering is a personal favorite of mine!), but a pile of blue, glowing rocks isn't one of them.

I find it quite interesting that we have now seen the first demon on Ixalan. We just had to delve deeper than we’ve been before.

And desperate ritual
Click to expand...

Well, Desperate Ritual's art is great! The Akki can't help that they look that way. Plus it's a vast improvement over the old art!

Also, it's not new. It's actually from... Either Duel Decks: Mind vs. Might or You Make The Cube. Don't know which one was first actually and for which of the two this art was commissioned.

Anyway, you also missed a few of my favorites, so there :p

Ah. I saw the "You build the cube" printing, didn't see the duel deck printing.
Also has anyone heard of this "You build the cube" thing? It's got like 173 cards in it according to scryfall

it's what they called the set / treasure chests for simonot timothée's Twisted Colour Pie Cube when it won the YMTC contest.
