As an flavor-centered EDH player, I've always been hoping for a Breeding Pool with more whimsical art. Instead we get a Breeding Pool with horror art. I mean, i guess the name "Breeding Pool" is hard to match with any whimsical concept, but still - I've like a broader variety of what's being depicted in my art. Like maybe a nice pond where cute frogs lay their eggs...
Agreed. It could be a card on Theros (a tide pool), Lorwyn (one of the many small bodies of water there), Zendikar (the expedition had amazing art), or even Ixalan (has that tropical climate)
Instead we've only had horror art and unnatural city/Ravnica art for it, which is perplexing and off theme for it IMO
Well, the name "Breeding Pool" does kind of have an artificial flavor to it. It heavily implies bioengineering.
The problem with defining this format by what is "fun" is that everyone seems to define fun as what they don't lose to. If you keep losing to easily answered cards, that means you should improve your deck. If you don't want to improve your deck, then you should come to peace with the idea that you are going to lose because you chose to not interact with better strategies.
I'm a bit disappointed exactly one of those lands didn't get flavor text, though Godless Shrine already says it all.
Yeah, what a missed opportunity. I feel bad for this plane!!! It has suffered a fate worse than Mirrodin (ok, that is debatable). Losing their Gods, discovering their life and afterlife are a sham. How I wish we retuen to this plane and have them heal, though story wise there wouldn’t be much now.
With the Hekma destroyed, the false God-Pharaoh's wind-eroded horns now loom on the horizon as a final reminder of what Naktamun once was.
There, we can at least imagine that blurb at the bottom.

Why doesn't that Godless Shrine have flavor text? It seems trivially easy and super flavorful to mention the now-wind-eroded horns of the false God-Pharaoh.
