[MtG] Full Kaladesh Spoiler

[.Rai]

Usually, the last day of spoilers doesn't give much. Kaladesh is a refreshing change from that trend. So many cards with loads of potential.

The overall power level of this set is clearly much bigger than usual. I'm glad the pendulum is swinging back now. Many of the commons are really strong.

 

Overall, a very beautiful and great set. Good job Wizards.

idek if we've already seen it but that mind rot art and flavor is really good

In terms of new cards that are interesting, Constructed-wise (with some obviously being more fringe than others):

 

 

Oh, and someone will break Dramatic Reversal for sure. Almost certainly with Isochron Scepter.

The cards that are most interesting to me:

• Gearseeker Serpent: Pauper cries out in excitement. Never would've expected that we'd get a creature with affinity again, and being a 5/6 means that it eats Gurmag Anglers for days. Somber Hoverguard can say goodbye now.
• Revolutionary Rebuff: We get Mana Leak in Standard again! Yes, it doesn't hit artifacts, and yes, it taxes for 1 less... but Mana Leak!
• Sage of Shaila's Claim: Less excitement than disappointment. C'mon, Wizards, why do you put all the good energy enablers at common but none of the payoff? I wanted to brew a Pauper energy deck so badly.
• Take Down: Absolutely wrecks Pauper Delver, and thus will be a sideboard staple for the coming future.
• Veteran Motorist: I like that Wizards is pushing the RW vehicle/equipment deck for Standard so hard. Hoping that this guy sees play in it if the deck becomes actually playable.

Finally, I just love how much we're seeing of Magali Villenueve's art. She's become my favorite Magic artist as of late - her works are just so shiny and vibrant. Perfect for a plane like Kaladesh.

 

EDIT: Cards to grab for EDH decks:

• Ayli: Authority of the Consuls, Morbid Curiosity, Kambal, Restoration Gearsmith, Aetherflux Reservoir, Concealed Courtyard
• Rashmi: Torrential Gearhulk, Rashmi herself, Botanical Sanctum, Woodland Stream (with the new art)
• Pauper Toolbox: Aviary Mechanic, Fragmentize, Gearseeker Serpent, Fortuitous Find, Cathartic Reunion, Reckless Fireweaver, Larger than Life, Take Down, Metalspinner's Puzzleknot, Prophetic Prism (dat new art)
• For future inspiration: Demon of Dark Schemes, Eliminate the Competition, Oviya Pashiri, Panharmonicon, all of the fastlands (before prices go up)

Energy seems like a really sweet mechanic. I just wish it was easier to put the cards into existing decks. Most of the cards still work just fine without friends, but they still don't feel that exiting unless they have them. Between that and all the cards that care about artifacts my commons/uncommons cube sadly isn't getting a ton of cards.

 

Side from that, cards I'm considering for various commanders.

Animar: Panharmonicon, Rashmi

Karador: Panharmonicon

Sedris: Combustible Gearhulk

Gahiji: Nissa

Sharuum: Panharmonicon, Cataclysmic Gearhulk, Refurbish, Padeem

Freyalise: Nissa

Grenzo: Panharmonicon

Gitrog: Nissa, Ghirapur Orrery

Ezuri: Panharmonicon, Cultivator of Blades

 

Don't think Hanna, Iroas, or Slivers will get anything

 

 

Overall, set looks really sweet, and I'm super pumped for the limited environment.

[(GigaDrillBreaker)]

Sequestered stash is fantastic in Gitrog. Recycles crucible, expedition map, horn of greed, etc.

 

I think I will compile a list of the best limited commons to help people make sense of their prerelease events.

dramatic reversal. 2 mana turnabout. jesus Christmas wizards. they went all out with this set.

[Delibirb]

So many of these cards are shockingly powerful. This will be so much fun.
