    The fact that Lara Croft doesn't have Explore is the biggest miss for me. She needs (specific) cards in the GY to get any benefit from her attack trigger,, and having a way to put those legendary cards in your GY (or in your hand to then put in the GY for the case of those Kamigawa Channel Lands), would have made her a big win design-wise (let alone flavor-wise), As she was printed, it really doesn't feel like you're building to make her strong you're building to make her function, which makes her feel super clunky.

    Lara's theme of legendary artifacts and places (lands) makes sense, however it tells only half of the character as those are directly tied to her being fit, combat elite soldier (or rather mercenary) which allows her to explore these legends. There needed to either be a 2nd Lara focusing on that or dual faced card or having merged the 2 concepts into one.

    My favorite way that Wizards have done UB is like the Street Fighter and Transformers sets: flavorful cards that are powerful in their own right. Although the Commander deck method and the whole set method are cool, we end up with staple level cards that make the flavor weird. I.e., u guess I'm ok with someone bringing a Chun-li deck or a Optimus Prime deck, but i'm not ok with everyone bringing an Orcish Bowmaster deck.

    Now that we've laid the standard evaluations, I wonder how we're gonna be judging the (known) future Universes Beyond. Cuz if it's just flavor > high fantasy from the IP, Fallout and AssCreed are kinda sitting on the C "Squint to make it fit in with the multiverse", tho if AssCreed leans more into Paliano/Italian-Assassin aesthetic maybe we're already half-way to B there. Tho it'll be VERY intimidating that AssCreed and FF are designated Modern-Legal sets so it'll probably be as big as LotR was. Final Fantasy being named but in development till 2025 is the one we're all holding our breathe on, and with just how varied the entire settings have been High-Fantasy to Urban Fantasy to Practically Cyberpunk with Magitek and maybe everything in-between, ironically mirrors Magic already in how fast and loose it's "high fantasy setting" turned out. Wonder if we'll have just as much shenanigans with Garland knocking everyone down as with people being able to Suplex Trains and just punching Chaos to death.

    Thing that I didnt like with the Jurassic Park secret layer is that its so rare in packs that its almost as exclusive as a secret layer, maybe more so. My area does not have collectors to-date, but the set boosters have a JP card 1 every 12 packs, which is more rare than a mythic, and that 1 in 12 could be a basic land. So seems like the Jurassic Park cards are limited to the "Whales" who are opening multiple boxes.

Me personally I wished we got just all the cards at once like dr.who but instead of 4 packs it's just one. Everything is affordable and it looks like this set for Ixalan is gonna be one of their more profitable sets. The thing I hate is the emblem cards. Because they are gonna be rarer than serialized cards. Don't quote me but I think there's one emblem card in one pack out of 100.I would love to collect all the 20 emblem cards but not if it's gonna cost the same as a brand new car.

Now let's be honest 3 cards Savage Order, Ravenous Tyrannosaurus and Hunting Velociraptor are going to be Dino staples especially in Commander because those have the ability to make a dino commander deck like Gishath pop off we can all agree. The other two, Indoraptor and Indominus Rex are unique commanders so it's to be expected to be pricey. And finally Permission Denial is literally a blue players wet dreams basically a really good counter spell.

    I think Lara Croft is pretty good flavour wise - she is raiding a tomb on attack by going into a graveyard and looting it. She takes a legendary artifact and keeps it, and also takes some treasure as well. Then later on you can use those artifacts that you stole. I guess with the lands she is finding undiscovered areas.

    I'm glad Seth came around on Street Fighter. Every card felt flavorful, a few of the cards are really powerful (Blanka was mentioned; Dhalsim is a CEDH viable commander), and even the less powerful ones are still really interesting. I would've had Tomb Raider higher too; sure it's a bunch of reskins, but it feels well thought out, like every card is meant to be in a Lara Croft commander deck. She's a 3/4 first strike & reach that can recur legendary lands and artifacts, and the rest of the set is legendary lands and artifacts! And none of them overlap her keywords, so if you get Shadowspear and Bow of Nylea she'll have first strike, reach, deathtouch, lifelink, and trample! And Lara being a 3/4 and not getting killed by the Storms of Yamatai (Anger of the Gods reskin) is such a flavor win. Plus the Shadowspear and Academy Ruins reprints are welcome. As far as reskin Secret Lairs are concerned, Tomb Raider is excellent.

    Although the flavor texts aren't necessarily from a scene the card is from. I also hope for a round 2. So I guess... an A

    You guys are wild on some of these. But we can agree to disagree. Fortnite at B (should be D) bad cards very few flavor makes no sense nothing new bad art. For me Doctor Who is much higher but it could be that I've been having a blast with them. I do get allot of your reasons though.

    Blanka would not be able to throw hands with Urza, he would get stomped. You'd need secret lair: Dragonball or something to give Urza a fair fight. Maybe secret lair kirby but that would be a stomp in the other direction

    The problem with the walking dead was the fact that WOTC didn't plan to reprint them at the time. It was only with fan backlash that they backpedaled and came up with a reprint policy for them. Even then most of the cards in the lair are bad. Two of them are playable? If you want to get REALLY technical the Godzilla skins were the first look into universes beyond and those were well received because of the fact they were skins of magic cards. If you didn't want them the magic versions were right there.

    The biggest issue is that the decks are focused more on flavor than function. The 10th Doctor and Villains decks suffered from a lack of focus on a specific mechanic or set of mechanics. They threw in a bunch of different ones that didn’t always work together well. The best of the bunch was the Classic Doctors one, and even that didn’t always have the greatest synergy

    @@jeffe2267 yeah but there's a big difference between a signal skin that is distributed digitally, and devoting a team to designing and play testing a set, hiring artists for the cards or purchasing the rights to pieces, printing, quality control, distribution. I think popularity will factor in a little bit more for that. And I would hope for more than just a secret Lair reskin.

    Im not gonna lie, as a big Street Fighter fan, I can't imagine giving that drop higher than a C. The characters picked were definitely for nostalgia, and didn't even include a villain like Akuma or M. Bison, which is wild. The art was a letdown, with so many talented artists at Capcom it felt like such a miss not to have someone do some guest pieces. Ryu's design drops it a full letter grade on it's own, he definitely should be green and not red, and the fact that his design encourages you to kill is so comically out of character that it's almost funny. The rest of the characters had good and fun designs, but it's painfully clear that whoever designed it only played Street Fighter 2.

Personally I was disappointed that none of the game's characters got cards, but I wondered what non-players made of it.

    I can buy the Walking Dead gets hit hard by being the first one, but it really did start a lot of the trends you object to in other IPs, including ones you rate lower. The "just people standing around" thing, for example; that's very much a problem with the Walking Dead.

Yet again this will blow up in their face; either it flops like most secret lair bs these days or they keep printing new cards to sell direct…either way we lose as the customer
