this is one of the best sets in a long time, mechanically speaking. there are so many pushed cards and interesting build around me ideas trickling through this set, and i wonder if this really marks the beginning of a gradual power creep over the coming years. the design team should be proud of what they've accomplished here.
the artwork however, is some of the most pathetic and uninspired ive ever seen. every new set gets uglier and uglier with the cheesiest CGI photo realistic depictions of characters. these artworks are supposed to depict populations of a FANTASY universe, yet they are so shamelessly trying to reflect some kind of younger modern day generation. it really assumes total narcissism of todays youth, that they will not be able to identify with MTG unless they see idealized versions of themselves in almost every artwork.
I'm.gonna play devil's advocate and say they're trying to get some more"traditional artists " back into the fold.

Seb, Philip Burburan, Nills Ham, Chris Rahn, Volkan Baga, Mark Zug and even Carl Critchlow. Man, i love that they're trying to diversify art again. Keep it up wizards!
This set looks great overall.
