There are a LOT of great downgrades for Pauper, may even end up expanding that metagame into new deck strategies, which is nice. Overall I'm not complaining that Noble Hierarch, Cruicible or Chalice didn't make it; this set already has more overall, or equal, value to MM1 and it is SO MUCH better when compared to MM15. There really is no room for complaints.
What a cool set. Today's cards didn't change my shopping list, though. Will be happy to have easier access to Cyclonic Rift, though, for when I build my next EDH deck with blue.

I can't say I'm pleased to see you and must warn you I may have to do something about it.

This set is going to be FANTASTIC for limited. It looks like it ends up combining the best of RTR, original Innistrad, and Alara, all without sacrificing the ability to play a bunch of different unique kinds of decks. I am looking very forward to playing with Aethertow, Dinrova Horror, Arachnus Spinner, and Pilfered Plans in limited again! Also, those gold cards are really all the "best of the best" for their color combinations, considering what sets were usable to make this.
The rest is pretty much junk, but boy is it limited power junk. Lots of rares downgraded to uncommon. Even the bulk rares are limited sluggers. I'm down with that considering how boosted and numerous the chase cards are.

So it is to this set like Daybreak Coronet was to 2015's?
Also, insane new art on Agent of Masks. Almost looks like an Amonkhet preview.
Thanks to DNC from Heroes of the Plane Studios for the sig
Check my Pauper Cube!
I'll probably try to pick up at least one Blood Moon now, a Stony Silence, some fetches, another Path to Exile, Grafdigger's Cage, and maybe Linvala, Keeper of Silence if it goes low enough.
Lots of good stuff.

Technically there are no plainwalkers in the set. : P
But there are two planeswalkers, actually. Liliana of the Veil and Domri Rade.
It's just that one is significantly more exciting than the other.
I don't think there are any plainswalkers. There are 2 planeswalkers though. Domri Rade and Liliana of the Veil.

No, unearth is not an activated ability of a creature. It's an activated ability of a creature card in a graveyard. Damping Matrix wouldn't affect it.
Damping Matrix does affect stuff like Azure Mage, Gnawing Zombie, the tap ability of Vithian Stinger... and prevents equipping Basilisk Collar.
Tons of creatures have activated abilities as well. It just doesn't affect any artifacts other than Basilisk Collar
