Over half the set in. Where are all the Landfall cards? Quests? Expeditions? Traps?
Tribal Class as a repeat of the ally vs. Eldrazi error in BFZ, once again places focus on the wrong mechanics and on creature types over the plane itself and its theme as Adventure World. When we want Adventure World, we want landfall, cool lands and locations, things that use landfall to build up to a goal, etc. Not this constant focus on narrow, parasitic tribal components. Is this Boring Limited Chaff World or Adventure World?
I guess Ixalan is the only plane that can get this theme right. Hell it had more interesting lands in it with Azcanta, Itlimoc, Treasure cove and the other flip cards than both visits of Zendikar have.
I think Allies were a bit OP and (be honest, everyone) they basically were just Slivers with new wrapping paper. Yawn. They couldn't come back. (I do still like playing Ally decks once a while, just like I enjoy playing Sliver decks once in a while.)
This new idea--Party. I just don't..care about it? It doesn't feel like something I want to build a deck around nor something I will be able to maximize very often if I did. Feels very unpredictable and unreliable to build a deck around. (I believe it will be quite a bit more so in Limited.) It's sad to me because I really do like D&D and I like the idea of the mechanic. It is very flavorful but I do not think it will play very well a lot of the time.
