Voracious hydra
rotting regisaur
Hanged executioner
Elvish reclaimer are cards I’ll test, not sure any will be around long term, but I’m glad because modern horizon hurts the bank, pulled Wrenn and six in my one draft, but those lands are expensive.
I’ll miss you the spoiler season with you jerks though.
@simpygdog, we aren't going anywhere! MTGS was purchased and will continue indefinitely. There is also a new site in the works that sounds super promising. The cube community will live on!
There's a lot of cards in this set that fall in the "do I bother testing this card?" range, that maybe one will prove to be a decent roleplayer, but overall no card I'm overly excited in. It's possible zero cards from this set will stick.

As far as core sets go I actually think this one is pretty sweet. I'm also always trying to boost tempo in my lists and this set has some goodies for that archetype so I'll probably be more excited than most.
Got a some reps with M20, here's my initial findings:
Hanged Executioner
- Has been maindecked in every draft it's been in. Flying 1/1 tokens are always generically useful with equipment / Skullclamp fodder / Moat / picking off planeswalkers / etc. Having a built-in removal spell is nice. I've exiled a Consecrated Sphinx twice in an Esper mirror and have seen situations where the opponent was forced to remove the Hanged Executioner before proceeding to play their big threat. Definitely a nice inclusion at 540.
Voracious Hydra
- Was maindecked a good amount of times. Scalability and removal are nice things to have in green.
Mu Yanling
- So far I've only seen this against me in an Esper mirror where I was playing a Moat deck. Mu Yanling was very problematic because she was able to generate two flyers most of the time, but that was a very best case scenario.
