@Tigersol @KrampisZman: I'm sure Ixalan had more iconic cards than Dreadmaw. The likes of Hostage Taker, Charging Monstrosaur and Search for Azcanta are more iconic. Hell, if they really wanted a common, then Territorial Hammerskull, Jade Guardian, One With The Wind and Sailor of Memes Means are a few cards I remember more fondly from Ixalan limited. Dreadmaw simply doesn't need reprints. At this point stores can have a Dreadmaw tray like they do for basics.
I was also annoyed with Thresher Lizard as the AKH common. If anything, Gust Walker was a format-defining common in AKH Limited. Anointer Priest is another all-star common from AKH that actually sees competitive play. Oketra's Monument could have been printed at common, too.
@KrampisZman: and that cycling payoff is called ASTRAL SLIDE! How did they not print this? They could have printed Drake Haven too. And why no Gary and Nykthos? In a set with Obliterator?
@Lujikul @KrampisZman: No Storm Crow is certainly an egregious exclusion, but no Erhnam Djinn in a set with Armageddon? Preposterous! They took the Erhnam out of Erhnamgeddon.
I do wish they had given it new art though.
Astral Slide is a fine payoff, but personally I don't think there is enough white cycling in the set to justify it. There is a reason cube designers tend to steer clear of the slide, it's narrow.
But like, really? No Storm Crow??
