So I don't know about everyone else but the commons/uncommons saved this set for me. A lot of them seem aggressively costed, I hope limited plays out well, and it'd be nice (pipe dream level nice) to see a standard format defined by non-rares after rotation.TheKingofSprings posted:Card name should've been Bites the Dust, IMO excellent

While the art is bad, it's at least simple enough to remember and identify from afar. A lot of new art is just bad while being much too busy.

To be fair though, it's like music, no one remembers lovely music from the 80s everyone just remembers the good stuff. There's still a lot of very good art now and then (from artists like Seb McKinnon, Nils Hamm, and a few others), I just like the old bad art more than the new bad art.

Soul Glo posted:Wow creatures used to be so terrible Honestly, this isn't all that terrible. It's quite the powerhouse sideboard card in Limited since it's ability is not a tap ability. You're right overall, though. Creatures used to be awful.

Bring back the Darwin Awards, except make it about self-owns on social media instead of people killing themselves in stupid ways.Soul Glo posted:Wow creatures used to be so terrible They really did. Note how the creature base in Legacy/Vintage is predominantly Modern-printed cards.
