The Retro Frame cards in this set are neat, but that treatment is a bit underwhelming
Elves players are a spoiled lot, but that doesnt diminish what Miara, Numa, and Abomination of Llanowar have brought to the table
A handful of the Amethyst cards still get played in the game's top decks, but there's not much else to work with once you're ready to build a custom deck of your own
For example, if an opponent loses 1 life and then gains 2 life in the same turn, you can cast a spell for its spectacle cost that turn
Even if it doesnt see Standard play, Im glad its only in the starter decks, because it would totally ravage BLB Limited
(With a few outliers, decks having 8, 9 and 10 respectively.) It's arguable that knowing Baral is in a Cube or taking it early can help to build around it, but is Baral really worth the payoff for building around him
