wotc seem to be trying to express how strong our evil dragon overlord really is by making all sets revolving around him packed with power
and altough lots are appropriately priced to make them not too strong for standard some cards i think will slip trough pushing the power limit a bit too hard.
what do you guys think? at first glance it definitely seems to have more power than required.
only amass seems fair to me so far because you can only have 1 token at any given time so any killspell or pacifism effect shuts it down, not to mention an amass deck will get completely stomped by superfriends since it cant attack muliple planeswalkers.
but the rest seems REALLY good so far.
cards im thinking of Dreadhorde invasion (very similiar to a certain 40$ card) Jace, Wielder of Mysteries and Teferi, Time Raveler is gas for some very obnoxious control decks. Bolas's Citadel not neccesarily too strong in standard, but in EDH this thing is going to be an absolute powerhouse. Tezzeret, Master of the Bridge grants affinity for artifacts... probably again trying to make a contrast to show the power of our evil dragon overlord. just like thousand year storm it probably won't be too strong but it's still a mechanic pretty high on the storm scale.
Man, please don’t complain when a set looks like an above-average product.
I agree that a lot of the cards seem good, but it’s hard to complain that it’s too good or overpowered for having a worse Bitterblossom, when Bitterblossom itself isn’t exactly tearing up Modern.
Dovin’s Veto looks like the biggest new eternal staple so far, followed by 4-5 planeswalkers that look pretty even with cards that have come before.
