This should make most people who play standard quite happy. It also combines to make a decent (if inconsistent) Sultai Midrange deck. The alternate art on Downfall and Courser absolutely hit it out of the park.
The biggest downfall of this clashpack is the lack of a rare land. Seems like a perfect opportunity to put in a polluted delta.
P.S. I will never forget that WoTC put a godless shrine in the DGM event deck. (It was G/W btw in case you didn't know)

Your deck is a disaster. It has no plan, no focus, no clear strategy, and half the cards hate each other.
So I'm definitely picking this one up, just like I did the M15 clash pack. Such gorgeous promos... and the two packs have some decent inclusions for a Tasigur EDH deck that I was already considering starting to build.
Like the last clash pack, this one is gas. Good thing they didn't print another promo land. It was a pain trying to get a set of those promo temples.
Unfortunately, they missed the opportunity to use the Heliod Hero's Downfall art. That's pretty close to the last chance that card will be reprinted with alt art.
My thoughts exactly when I saw the Downfall. A missed opportunity of epic proportions.

The original post that I commented on has said "Heliod Hero's Downfall art". That is misleading. This pic has been made solely for storytelling reasons and not cards. But almost everybody who saw it back then said the same thing...that this would be a perfect fit for an alt art Hero's Downfall. Hence the moniker.

the whip art is awesome! look closely, it only looks like the handle is visible but look at the horizon and you can see the whip snaking through the sky out to infinity. much cooler than the normal art.
As great as the Heliod/Elspeth art is, this new art for Hero's Downfall is still phenomenal. It took me a second glance to notice the reflection of Erebos in the water. Gorgeous.

To be fair, the art's focus is more towards Heliod than Elspeth since her back is towards us. That said, I should have said "Elspeth's downfall" as that would have been more fitting as a moniker.
I love nearly all of these arts to death. Except hero's downfall. Seem's too elegant for a black kill spell to me.
But that Reaper promo art is just amazing. I love that.
Funny how tastes differ. For me, the Reaper is plain ugly.
Perhaps that's how one knows there are true works of art out there
For me I love the reaper because it's ugly. When playing black spells, I like to see fear and brutality in the art. Reaper is exactly how I'd envision many black creatures.
Damn Wizards please do these AMAZING clash packs for the rest of eternity, thanks.
On the one hand, I don't really like how it feels as if half of these cards JUST got reprinted...on the other hand...cheap awesome promo Courser, Downfall and whip ALRIGHT. Wish the Constellation deck had a copy of Temple of Malady but I can live with this!
I wish we could get back the sub-par event decks (said nobody ever!)... These are great and WotC's incessant need to reprint standard staples in them are going to be greatly appreciated when standard changes. Now if we can just replace the other event decks....

I think maybe because it is a Black spell depicting a White God killing something. Still, they have the art for it, so I don't see why the opportunity wasn't taken. Great art, though.
I'm definitely getting this. I also want to try the Doom Engine in the Whip deck.
Holy *****. I'm sorry, but that Hero's Downfall art almost makes me want to play black again. Necropolis Fiend art is amazing too (sucks that it's not playable). Glad we're seeing a new Courser art. I like this is a lot better than the original.

I'm SO SICK of the "too strong for Standard" argument. It's the new "Dies to removal". We can have a two mana 4/4 with a zillion abilities, but we can't just have Accumulated Knowledge. Makes sense.

What was the Heliod Hero's Downfall art?
I think they mean this
Yep with Ajani in the background

"Kiora is the Aquaman of planeswalkers."
"Useless and everyone pretends to like her?"

I'll be happy to windmill slam those beauties.
Again, this is a *great* product.
Whoever designs Duel Decks should be forced to study these decklists intensely.
Also, not gonna lie- I'm loving that GU are central to both existing clash packs.
