The French card has double strike as long as you control a Dinosaur.

 

Dire Fleet Ravager seems decently fun. Not only does his ability kick your opponents down a peg, but he'll bring two creatures down with him.

 

Adanto Vanguard may be Standard-playable? Makes combat math tricky, at least.

 

Other stuff is meh.

I don't think Adanto Vanguard will be all that good. Dealing 4 to yourself is a LOT of damage. Maybe thats ok in standard, but not in limited.

 

Sneak seems really cool for limited. Might be good enough for standard.

 

I actually enjoy the menace+deathtouch combo on Ravager more than the 1/3 life totals effect. Hitting all players is certainly something in commander though.

 

Crew is just awesome. The art especially. Fun fact, the person looking longingly at the central figure is also a man. Neat little bit of inclusivity by Wizards.

 

5/5 trample haste is a beating in limited.

Ruthless Knave + Training Grounds/Anointed Procession is a reputable sac engine that generates infinite mana and draw with any combination of cards.

don underestimate vanguard. The tempo it gives you is really good. It makes your opponents removal terrible which is extremely good. It might pop up in standard if control continues to have a strong presence.

 

Ravager is as midrange as it gets for a creature. Two really strong keywords make this thing more or less unblock able and it drains some life on ETB. I just don't understand the wizard creature type.

 

Monstrosaur is a disgusting uncommon. Jesus funk. Beefy haste creatures usually overpreform in limited and this thing has trample too.

Yeah, not terribly impressed by anything new. The indestructible scry-trip could see play, and the "tap all creatures" merfolk seems fun, but nothing else arouses my interest.

 

I'm hoping we get more of a focus on merfolk and vampires in RIX, though. I'm underwhelmed by how many we got, despite still knowing that Wizards wanted to give more weight to dinos and pirates.

So far red looks extremely good in limited. Lightning strike and a bunch of super efficient hasty and menaced creatures at common and uncommon. The rest of the premium removal in the set is pretty slow so I think they're anticipating a slow format. It should be a better format than Amonkhet. That whole limited was based on whoever played their bomb first won.
