The problem with defining this format by what is "fun" is that everyone seems to define fun as what they don't lose to. If you keep losing to easily answered cards, that means you should improve your deck. If you don't want to improve your deck, then you should come to peace with the idea that you are going to lose because you chose to not interact with better strategies.

Survival is on the Reserved list, however it's nice that therer will be more affordable versions of Misdirection and Exploration. Plus foil Swords to Plowshares and Brainstorms.

I NEED to get my hands on that Rout! And Exploration in a newer border a very nice surprise, though I'll miss the old art.... Though that Misdirection art just looks goofy to me.

This is just getting ridiculous. The amount of cards they are printing that I need to pick up in foil is skyrocketing. I'm super excited about the Rout, Decimate and Exploration. Misdirection is also really awesome and should get everyone who runs it in legacy very excited (cheaper foils, maybe :P)
Does Exploration see play outside of Casual and EDH play? I've always wanted one for my EDH deck, but it's such an expensive card. Should we expect a substantial drop, or not really because the card is in high demand and the art is different?
Hope these aren't the only Big Important Reprints that'll get new art.

Also, getting both Misdirection and Exploration is a very nice surprise after a birdie hinted we would be getting one of the two!

New art on Decimate makes me sad. I love the original and was hoping that it would have the same art so I could pick up a foil cheap.

To be fair, the original art was pretty goofy too.

I approve. More Reserve List violations is a good thing.
And Exploration is one heck of a surprise.
Hope these aren't the only Big Important Reprints that'll get new art.

Exploration is one of those random cards that somehow got removed for the Reserved List for no apparent reason a long time ago. Not a violation.
