Are we looking at the same sets of cards? Because legit the invocations are way worse than these.

:barf: I'm glad they went with the invocations inserts the way they did since it would've looked like the lovely BFZ inserts otherwise.

Hazoret is cool as gently caress. Great design. No idea if it's good or not.

Really like that design on Hazoret.

5/4 indestructible haste seems pretty nutty.

Hazoret feels like a bad card that MIGHT have a spot in RDW sideboards, as a gotcha if the opponent looks to be stabilizing.

Other than that, I get a "trash red mythic" vibe out of her. It's a neat design, but a deck looking for a discard outlet is probably more interested in something cheaper.

Interesting to see speculation about the rest of the gods though. Blue one... Flying, discard to draw maybe? :effort:

Hazoret seems tricky to judge. I don't think she's very good, but I'm not sure and that could depend on the context of other cards.

Black summer was the best summer.
That white aura might not be terrible for bogles when it has to go up against the veil, but then again the power level isn't very high.. The god seems like a card that is either going to be great or unplayable. The deck building cost is just so high.

I mean, the Cartouche does get you a guy, so it's better than a generic aura is, and the trials are basically sorceries that you can get back sometimes. It depends on what the other cards look like, obvious, but I think you can get some nice value going.

Oddly enough, they snuck a new preview card into the image gallery.

Niche combat tricks with cycling seem like pretty solid filler cards. You're not going to want very many, but "replaces itself" is a pretty decent floor for something with solid blowout potential.

One thing to remember is that all these cards were probably done and finalized before there was so many complaints about Standard sucking for the last couple months so because there are probably no answers that's the reason why.

We know that this will be yet another graveyard set with no way of interacting with your opponent's graveyard because Maro already doubled down on how that's good design and definitely doesn't make standard a garbage fire.
