The decks are genuinely a ton of fun to play, but thats not the only reason theyre so great to play with
Theres a little something for every power level and strategy, not to mention some new archetypes opened wide
It should be noted, however, that there is a decent amount of token production in the set
Red can easily generate mana advantage as well, be it through bursty rituals (Irencrag Feat), treasure tokens (Dockside Extortionist), free spell/polymorph effects (Fires of Invention, Tibalts Trickery), or the occasional outright mana dork/discounter/mana multiplier (Leyline Tyrant, Mana Echoes)
Similarly, many decks built around set mechanics, like Mutate, Web-Slinging, or Earthbending, are fair game
Spined Thopter 3/10 Although this ticks a lot of the right boxes (no need of colour to play, an artifact, an evasive body) it is still a very underwhelming two drop with very low power level
