Perfect set. 10/10. No notes.

Plus two colors to get +1/+1 and trample? Sign me up.....
So we're gonna get like 40 cards wasted purely off of being 3 color.

Three color sets generally are pretty bad for us. I expect this to be no different. Just hope we have good options scattered in there somewhere.

Well we finished the triland cycle with the first Tarkir set. Hopefully 10 years of power creep will get us something even better (how has it been 10 years, there's no way).

We're old people now.

Skirmish Rhino is an insane card. I don't play 3 color cards, but if I did.... jesus.

What if I told you that that wasn't true for me.

It would explain a lot.

I think the Rescue Leopard is good

Sorry guys I jinxed it. Trilands again.

[[Desendants of the Storm]] replacing Usher with +1/+1 upside.

I like Dalkovan Packbeasts quite a bit. Works in both token decks and aristocrats.

This caught my eye too. 3 mana 0/4 no ETB is a low floor, but the ceiling is crazy high

I'll likely cut one of the other Savannah Lion variants and play both Usher and [[Desendants of the Storm]] since they're not 1:1 copies. After all, Boast can be activated after blockers are declared, so it can play a bit differently than Descendants in an environment with tricks.

I'm not sure what I want to cut for this yet, but it will definitely make it in.

I initially thought I'd cut Usher for it, but on second thought I might end up cutting Mandibular Kite, Seasoned Warrenguard, Nurturing Pixie, or Recruitment Officer instead.

I like Descendant of Storms more than usher, the option to threaten a +1/+1 counter to trade up with an X/3 seems good in addition to being able to make more bodies.

I really like mobilize for the tokens / aristocrats / go wide aggro theme I'm trying to encourage in my mardu section, it's been pretty challenging to find cards under 4 CMC at uncommon that make meaningful tokens.

Dalkovan Packbeasts seems quite strong since it effectively attacks as a 3/4 with vigilance and giga-trample (it also might be the one card where Cut Down is actually better removal than Ulcerate).

Shock Brigade, AKA Kari Zev, Skyship Raider at home, seems like a slam dunk. Menace + 3 toughness seems like you'll be able to trigger it a lot early game which could be great if you curve into literally any sort of payoff.

Venerated Stormsinger seems ok, we have a million of these guys now, but I like that this one actually gives you some incentive to attack with it.

Desperate Measures seems kinda fun, although I'm worried that it will be one of those cards that's sometimes amazing and sometimes useless.

I think I'm going to jam each of the 2-color omen dragons in my cube. They just seem fantastic.

Seems good, although I am slightly more interested in the red mobilize cards since that is the colour that wants a bunch of small creatures entering. The surreal thing is that a relatively Local Game Store spoiled the card.
