Amonkhet Initial Set Review (Casual card design/flavour perspective)

White

## Binding Mummy ##

Great flavour.


## Compulsory Rest ##

Also flavourful. But was pacifism really to good? Instead of answering embalming creatures its useless against them.



## Devoted Crop-Mate ##

Similarly awesome flavour. Art goes great with.


## Forsake the Worldly ##

Well designed card. And a good name.


## Rhet-Crop Spearmaster ##

Decently designed and good name to justify effect.


## Seraph of the Suns ##

A generic indestructible uncommon. Wahoo! And it's a Seraph to boot.


## Those who Serve ##

I'm actually really excited over this. It's a white 2M 2/4 vanilla, a stat combination white hasn't had before.


## Time to Reflect ##

Being involuntarily mummified. Very resonant as a shout out to "The Mummy"




Blue


## Ancient Crab & Cancel ##

Great art.


## Censor & Compelling Deterrence ##

The art is a wonderful "the mummy". Also great mechanically.


## Floodwaters ##

Well designed card, great art with a flavour that works on several levels (actually ancient egyptian flooding, red sea.)


## Hieroglyphic Illumination ##

Good card design. Great art.


## Lay Claim ##

Simple wonderful design. Its great to see a mind control in limited again.


## Open into Wonder ##

A blue card both feels blue while reward aggro and creatures. Yes please.


## Seeker of Insight ##

A yugioh/millenium puzzle reference, even if not intended as one.

Black

## Baleful Ammit ##

Resonance. Yes.


## Baleful Bat ##

Well designed. But it does make you wonder why bats aren't extinct/ever evolved in an environment where thay have to resort to such a dangerous way of feeding.


## Dune Beetle ##

Great vanilla stat combination for black. Well design. The giant beetle/scarab art is both resonant and makes sense with those stats/


## Final Reward ##

Took me awhile to work out if the title was mocking or sincere. Great job at showing cultural dissonance


## Painful Lessons ##

I'm surprised it took them this long to print this variation.


## Ruthless Sniper ##

Really feels black.


## Splendid Agony ##

Good simple yet powerful limited card with a good name.


## Supernatural Stamina ##

Are they just going to spell out regeneration now? Worst of bo


## Trespasser Curse ##

Perfect flavour/ressonce. Great art.


## Wander in Death ##

Power creep?


## Wasteland Scorpion ##

Why isn't this wither.

Red

## Electrify ##

* Surprised it isn't a reprint.


## Limits of Solidarity & Path to Glory ##

* Great cards, you can cycle them when behind/losing.


## Magma Spray ##

* The flavour text isn't the least bit subtle and is a bit to direct.


## Minotaur Sureshot ##

Great design. Evergreen name so easy to reprint.


## Nef-crop entangler ##

The art looks and feels so egyptian.


## Pathmake Initiate ##

A powercrept Goblin Tunneller.

Green

## Greater Sandwurm ##

Great cycling design, throw away early, use it late and has Daunt.

(remove two attackers from combat, make the fight each other.)


## Shed Weakness ##

Vey innovative well designed card.

Artifact

## Embalmers Tools ##

Well integrated mechanics-flavour. Well designed. Flavourful.
