I don't think I bought a single card from the new block, my friend.

Reprint of opt and spell pierce was quite nice, other than that I don't play tribals, so it was kinda meh.

Etali is great in my Maelstrom Wanderer deck
Other than that... uh.... maybe I'll get an Azcanta when it rotates I guess

The Bad
>Pirates still suck as a tribe
>Dinos are really linear, most Gishath decks are pretty much the same
>Simic Merfolk are neat but try to do too many things for a large set and a small set.
>Enrage is ripped straight from Hearthstone
>Still too much draft chaff for me to go consider buying packs (Keeper cycle can go fuck itself)

The OK
>Vampires makes the set feel like it was made as "Edgar Markov: The Expansion Pack"
>Jace has turned into the Chad Gideon's always wanted him to be
>Ascend's a cool mechanic, even though you can't really interact with it other than by preventing your opponent from getting 10 permanents (Good luck with that in this format though)
>Nice reprints for standard and some decent answers here and there

The Great
>Primal Dinos are cool since they're not Dino focused. Blue and Black ones suck though.
>Flip lands are great and are almost always guaranteed to flip in EDH compared to Standard.
>Pic related with a kicked Rite of Replication is funny as hell

WHERE'S gA I HAVE QUESTIONS

Waiting for Kumena to rotate so i can try a simic merfolk build with either him or tishana. I've heard it's not that good, can anyone ITT confirm that?

>How has the cards from Ixalan Block been in your decks so far?
pitiless plunderer is downright game breaking. i put immortal sun in a couple decks and it doesn't disappoint. i run both entrancing melody and spell swindle in my mono-blue "no creatures" deck, where both are good but not amazing. i run etalli and it is exactly as fun and powerful as you'd expect. i actually want to pick up a twilight prophet as well but it's price is a bit high right now for a card i'm not sure i'll play.

I have not found any interest in any card from this block.

>this + sands of time
