Game-wise or flavor-wise? I am absolutely hating the flavor on this set, it's all over the place.

Mechanically the set is awesome, but yeah flavor is kind of shitty. I liked Kamigawa's flavor a lot more, the mechanics were just absolute trash.

Comparing it to Innistrad is unfair, I'd go as far as to say Innistrad is the best set ever released. By a pretty long mile, too.

yeah but you are in the magic player minority with almost everything you say about any aspect of the game
Standard hobos who play budget garbage should be looked upon with suspicion.

Yeah, they did a good job making sure the set would lend itself well to the current meta... there's all sorts of cards I want to play with and I'm even thinking about firing up my ol' online account to draft some of them. I just dislike the hodgepodge of abilities they seem to be sticking on everything... which gives them flavor, but not the flavor they were shooting for; instead it just seems like every being on the plane is insane.

So what? All of the mechanics have already been spoiled. Might as well be 100%.

I'm enjoying the flavor of the set. I'm thinking Limited will actually be a blast too. I cannot stand M14 limited, so anything at this point will be a welcome change.

They'd have to go pretty overboard to make the mechanics push the envelope. I'm not arguing for flavor. Greek mythology isn't my thing but I think that's likely because college ruined it for me. :shrug: I don't have any issue with it, but it just isn't my favorite.

i'm sad because we got another "RG this should be the only creature card in your deck" planeswalker

i honestly think it's a "we have to see" even if my gut is screaming that this card is absolute trash and will never see play anywhere.

in an empty room it looks pretty boring and doesn't compare well with domri, who essentially does all of the things you want to get out of a GR planeswalker and for the cost of 3 mana and with an ultimate you actually get something out of once active. it doesn't generate card advantage outside of being a 2/2 generator, and its +1 is blank unless you already have creatures in play, and generally if you
have a bunch of creatures in play when you're casting a 4cc planeswalker that has two mana-generating abilities, most of those 1-3cc creatures likely add mana as well, since this isn't really doing anything for the decks domri fits best into.

but outside of an empty room, it's a card with a +1 ability that adds mana, that creates haste creatures that can block at no cost, but has an ultimate that's all rolling dice and doesn't really mesh with the first two abilities.

i really feel like they were scared to death of these bestow cards being undercosted and/or we're not going to see a realistic bestow creature until at least next set when they try to push the envelope of abilities from the first set in any way. 6 mana to give a creature +2/+2 and first strike and leave a 2/2 first strike behind that can be naturalized give me a break
