so if I wanted a playset of the shocks I'd need to buy x4 super shock bundles. I'd get 4 enemy lands each and 8 allied lands each :/ what a strange way to do this.
As a GBx player, I find Wren interesting as a 1 or 2 of in the 75. How interesting. It's the first card as a midrange player to generate a little excitement.
Some people made great points in the previous posts. A lot of arguments in the past said, "...Wait for Horizons, it'll fix a ton".
As a midrange player, I've found this set extremely disappointed. It feels like the entire archetype was overlooked. Wren gives me pause for the first time in this set for midrange. The Force is ok but could be a 1 of sideboard or just an underwhelming card. Maybe it ends up being an all-star, I don't know. Horizon lands appear more beneficial to the linear decks and less to the fair decks that care about their life total.
As a fellow BG midrange player myself; I felt the same, but then I realized that only 3 black rares have been shown and no black mythics have been previewed yet. Gonna hope for the best and hold my judgment until the 30th.
I've been using vela the night-clad as my commander. Giving my devoid and colorless creatures "almost" Unblockability has done pretty well for me. also threw in every blood artist like effect to drain people with scions and spawns.
Well if they blow up a tron land you can rebuild tron but if they blow up your academy ruins you feel bad.
I also run Sundering Titan in the main cause any matchup Iona is bad against, normally Sundering titan is good against.
I also run a Watery Grave in the main to help with my gifts package so I don't get screwed by an unburial rites in the hand.
So obviously these deck choices paint my opinion on the Emrakul vs Mindslaver debate.
The only land hate that I'm very nervous about is sowing salt and blood moon but I can still play most my deck without tron. Only emrakul is truly hosed.

Are wizards putting out playmats for this set like they did last year? I really want a Arjun mat. That art is gorgeous.
