Yes, but with that generally comes higher power-level cards.

I mean I'm not going to say that it's bad because the environment (format) could be awesome, but it is certainly a lot closer to battlecruiser Magic than what we got used to. I mean, this time two years ago I was playing with Batterskull and Wurmcoil Engine while board wiping for 1RR and fetching my Kessig Wolf Run with Primeval Titan, now I'm paying 5 for board wipes and 4 for Vindicate that doesn't hit lands.

I wasn't really whining so much as making an observation. I like battlecruiser Magic though so I might actually enjoy it.

I'm saying basically none of them are powerful. After Innistrad, Return to Ravnica felt like a huge step backwards in power level. This feels reminiscent of that.

[Meta] So clearly in Khans we're seeing power level rollback

Rosewater has said a few times in the past that they tend to do this at the beginning of new blocks, based on the power level of some of these spoiled rares, it looks like that may be the case here. It seems a little too soon for that to be happening already, since the last particularly powerful set was Innistrad. I don't feel like we've creeped into a point where the power level is too high. What gives?
