After perusing the RIX spoiler I found the set does a good job of capping off Ixalan block and has lots of cool new things to try out.
Since it’s hard to absorb everything in a set so early after it’s release, I’m wondering what new interactions you’ve found or even just cool things you like. For example:
I think it’s cool how the new raptor companions flavor text references the old one.
Or
When I saw Hadana’s Climb I thought, “how can I abuse this? Of course, Scrounging Bandar.” Then burst out laughing at the thought of killing my opponent with flying cat monkeys while cackling and saying “get them my pretties!”
I can’t help but read Slippery Scoundrel as Sleepy scoundrel and am gonna get an alter of him with a pillow instead of shield.
I think that the new flip enchantment/land? cards are sweet for EDH. Surprised about the red Elder Dino, and that it is actually a playable cycle card. Red is getting a lot of good gas from this set.
I'm also like the orzhov Vamps that are in this set. Looks like a fun limited environment.
I LOVE the dinosaurs, they are awesome and I am so excited about adding some new cards to my dino standard deck. The pirates were underrepresented, but the vampires look really cool, especially Elenda, the dusk rose.
To say the truth i think everyone liked the double sided cards. They kind looks like what some of the Zendikar's quests should be. It is a cool gimick that makes limited and competitive a litle bit more enjoyable.
