Is it just me or is there a lot of that enchantment hate out there right now?
An they like to use the word exile? The gods dont seem so mighty if you play U W or G...
R and B on the other hand...
Idk, I feel like they made gods week due to the hate.
EDIT:
Easy god removal spells off top of my head...
-Revoke Existence
-Swan Song
-Vortex Elemental (coolest card in the set btw)
-Unravel the Aether
-Angelic Edict
-Fade into Antiquity
-Selesnya Charm (not really Enchantment direct but helps)

I hate to be a part of the obligatory "worst set ever" chorus that happens after most sets are spoiled, but the power level for this set seems exceptionally low.
I'm glad they've given us standard and modern players so many new goodies instead of just printing limited jank and EDH rares. But it's all okay, because the flavor!
I think siren of the fanged coast might be my posterchild for how incredibly poorly tribute was implemented and its untapped potential. Its air elemental with a downside (should I say 'strictly worse' here, when its counters?), after multiple air elementals already exist in this block/set. And not only that, but its drawback has a huge whiff potential. Enemy has no creatures? 1/1 flying for 3UU. Its a very potent drawback. So its significantly worse than an air elemental.
I don't know what people think of power shrivel, but thats just bad design, bad development

Because no one's going to play mogis, xenagos, brimaz, or any of the other rares...:rolleyes:
Worst set since Theros, certainly. There probably won't be a set worse than this until May.
You never know, eh?
Red archetype's mana cost and body are a pleasant surprise. Trample made sense if they didn't want to do haste (which would have changed the PT-CMC ratio by a lot). Black archetype is as expected, unfortunately.

They're sure gonna shake up standard! The way I see it, mono black will become a tier 1 deck! RG will also become a big contender too! There might even be crazy spin-off decks, like WB aggro!
Eh, the flavour is great, but I thought they learnt that most player's won't just be satisfied on a pure flavour set when they did Kamigawa. There has to be some interesting cards thrown in too.
And by some I mean more than 10.

You've got a rat in your walls, and cheese won't solve anything.

Dude, I don't know about you, but I think Heroic.dec is going to give mono black a run for its money.

Woah now, worst is a pretty intense word to be throwing around. What's more, you're just furthering the usual negativity around these forums. I for one thinks it's the best set since Theros, and I doubt there will be a better one until May.

I primarily play limited, so most of my spoiler season comments view cards through that lens.
Not much new there that stands out to me personally. A few things I'll take out of the set to try out in Lazav, Pain Seer gives me a second Dark Confidant (sorta), Phenax will be fun to try out (and it puts combo back into my deck, even if it is just one janky one), think there were one or two other things I may consider trying but not sure.
I know my buddy has a couple cards for his Thromok deck outta the set too.
In fairness, having the card image library, I can say that I totally approve of the art in this set, there are some great pieces. Best since innistrad maybe? At least someone did their jobs!
okay Correct me if I'm wrong but Blue is the only that one didn't get an enemy colour activated ability?
Huh. That IS quite weird. It should have a green one.

There's already kinda sorta a haste Archetype in red.
Recent memory, at least.

There's already kinda sorta an Asphyxiate in black but we got it anyway.

Retraction Helix (a.k.a. another Banishing Knack) is very interesting here. It will be fun to do weird things with it.

*Points to the black mythic.*
Black fans have priority when it comes to complaining about their mythic rare in this set. At least you got a planeswalker.
Huh. That IS quite weird. It should have a green one.
