Good luck assembling Vecna, I'm surprised all the pieces are rare/mythic. Practically impossible in Limited, I doubt it's a viable in Standard. Fun for casual and difficult even in Commander.

Yeah, Mordenkainen seems kinda meh to me. I can’t imagine ever using him over Jace Mindsculptor.

Mordy could be interesting in an alliance with Vecna.

Lol, seems more likely every passing day that Elminster is not getting a card.

I'll be shocked if he doesn't appear in some fashion or form.

On the other hand, as discussed in the Maro article linked above, they made the conscious decision to use this Set to celebrate and sell 5E books, so Mordenkainen is a natural choice.

Comparing him to one of the most powerful planeswalker cards ever printed is a little much, given the price tag.

The -2 ability is not nothing. There aren't a lot of blue planeswalkers that can make creatures ... just 4 of the 25 Mono-Blue Planewalkers (I'm ignoring the Beeble Un-card, and the DFC Will). And these are legit threats after you draw a few cards.

Shivan dragon on steroids:
Haste, cannot be countered, and if you pump its power to 20, it deals 20 damage to a target of your choice.
Edit: and a 6/6 instead of a 5/5

I don't even rate JtMS that high. My man Big Teferi is the best control Walker printed.

(Note: I think T3feri should be banned all formats)

Bahumut makes me want to build an Azorius Monk deck. Also, it just struck that building "Monk" decks, or "Bard" decks, etc....now a thing.
