I feel this way too. I didn't mind a lower power standard because I always had Modern (and then Pioneer) to go to. Admittedly I came in around SOI block and that was a very weak standard, but I thought the best time was during GRN/RNA block when there were so many decks that felt very strong and synergistic but not busted. I suppose they feel like casual Commander fills this void now

I try to get the highest quality pics I can but I was short on time to upload these and just grabbed the first ones I found

Ur-Dragon, Scion of the Ur-Dragon, Tiamat, maybe Ramos Dragon Engine and Morophon. I guess Changeling typal decks enjoy this

I'm not the best at Limited, but a 2/2 with Flying for 2 that can draw multiple cards from the main Sultai/Temur mechanics seems very, very good at uncommon?

It's buffable either turn. The "base" part of the text just means it only affects the printed stats on the cards, and not other effects like counters or anthem abilities. So this creature with a +1/+1 counter is 6/3 on your turn and 3/6 on an opponent's turn

I think their ubiquity and simple rules make basic lands good for more adventurous art design. That being said, this one is not really up my alley (I do however love the Nyx and Planet basics). I'm glad they have the Dragon's Presence basics for a more traditional style of full art lands though

Attached to a very nicely costed body I think this could do well. Only issue is that most Red decks right now don't go to 4 mana, I wonder if this will be able to push a Gruul/Boros/Rakdos midrange deck into viability

I think they're doing some Druid typal support in this set, but yeah I wish they'd try to keep tokens more Standardized across sets unless there's just no other way to do it

Haughty Djinn was originally printed in DMU, and given that Dominaria has a long history of Djinn going back to Alpha, Smirking Spelljacker is probably from there. Older Djinn didn't really have a cohesive visual identity, but comparing it to djinn from the more recent Dominaria sets, it seems to match up

Out of all the Djinn in Magic, only two other in-universe planes have had Djinn, Ravnica and Strixhaven. Strixhaven is the other possibility, but Spelljacker looks pretty wispy which would align more with Dominaria
