What annoys me the most about Khans is the total lack of synergy between clans.
Outlast and Prowess both make bigger creatures, while Ferocious grants bonuses for bigger creatures. 3-power creature with Prowess + Crater's Claws = value.
Prowess grants bonuses for playing instants and sorceries, which go directly to the graveyard. Delve benefits from having cards in your graveyard.
In any case, it's very difficult to say how well different clan abilities play together without having the full set. The kinds of synergies that emerge in Standard between factions are often dependent on a handful of very specific cards. There could be a single Jeskai-watermarked mythic with a Prowess ability that makes See the Unwritten completely bonkers for some reason. We just don't know.
Unfortunately, we do have a Jeskai watermarked mythic, and it's garbage compared to rare leviathans we've had before it.
I just wish we got mythics (save for the Khans as they are awesome so far and planeswalkers) on the level of shards' fetch mythics; Empyrial Archangel, Sphinx Sovereign, Prince of Thralls, Hellkite Overlord, Godsire.
WTF at the Leviathan's ability to... return lands to save itself? Maybe... maybe... RETURN TO ZENDIKAR IS THE NEXT BLOCK! OMGAWDD GUYS! HALF LIFE 3 IS CONFIRMED GUYS TOO!
<^> -_- Screw u Wizards... stop making crappy Leviathans.
I think this deck needs to only have Jalira and worldspine (both 4ofs), with token producing spells for creatures So that jalira can sac a soldier token say, then fish for worldspine effectively. Also a way to discard worldspine for profit- or use garruk, caller of beasts to put it straight into play from hand. Counters, token spells, and ramp spells maybe. Banishing light, detentions spheres- is this really just looking to be put in a pillowfort shell?
You may not know (or remember) this, but Jalira bypasses legends. It seems kind of random at first, but they did that so she wouldn't put herself into play by accident. But as a side effect, it means you can fill your deck with as many legends as you want and still be safe. Which is pretty cool.
Actually, it's so people didn't use her to cheat into play Emrakul, Kozilek, or Ulamog.
Assuming I finish this set and have enough support, she will appear in the next set of the block. I will take break, however, after the set is finished and work on a new set/block that I have a ton of ideas for and should be quite awesome.
Wow, these are pretty cool and well designed, offering way weird and fun ways to play the game. I can easily see people tossing in Oneira as their commander on the fact that she hoses CiP effects that everyone seems to be taking advantage of nowadays.
Keep up them coming, because they're way sick!!
My problem with buying from local stores is the fact that they ALL base their prices on those very same online retailers who do these profiteering tactics.

No kidding. With Simic Sky Swallower and Inkwell Leviathan, this card doesn't even come close, and those were RARE!

I too would also like to see these.
I see Plateau up there twice, what's missing is Taiga.
Fair enough.
These are pretty cool, though, so keep it up!!

Que the next block after Theros.
