Title: How does everyone like RTR?

In this discussion I'd like all of us to discuss how we like this new set (not the rare dual lands, enough has already been said about them). Personally I think the cards and mechanics are good but I'm only collecting from it for my EDH decks. Swift Justice, Ethereal Armor, and Risen Sanctuary for my Naya EDH; Avenging Arrow, Azor's Elocutors, Inaction Injunction, Soul Tithe and Syncopate for my Esper EDH; and Mizzium Mortars for ry Mono Red EDH. All I have left to collect are Righteous Authority and Utrava Hellkite. I'm commited to UB control being my Standard decktype so be fore I start collecting for Standard I'm gonna wait and see what the Dimir guild looks like.

I want to know what all of you think about the set and whether you are satisfied.

I'm incredibly satisfied - the standard decks that are out are much more varied and diverse compared to what was around before it. I think it's opened up a very wide range of deck types that players can tweak and make their own.

Now I think their are a lot of good EDH cards added too (Rakdos and Jarad make very fine generals), I'm surprised you listed Swift Justice as a card for your EDH deck though. That card is so underpowered for EDH, why are you putting that in?

Right now I'm still undecided, there are aspects I like and some I don't, I am liking detain and unleash.  Overload is more about the card if its worth it and havn't played populate yet but playing againest it seems to have some potential.  I am really disappointed in scavage. its to overcost most of the time especially combined with the heavier mana cost creatures golgari has. 

 I agree with Captain, One thing I am liking is that nothing seems to be really overpowered in the sense it will dominate standard.  its been awhile since we had such diversity

Though to be honest I have been looking more forward to gatecrash

The reason Swift Justice is in the deck is because the deck ramps and land fetches into creatures costing 6-8 with the exception of Serra Angel which I have a wide variety of to cast and hook Auras onto them. The general is Johan (that's his whole name).

Swift Justice isn't an Aura, it's a one-time boost to a creature. It's worse than Giant Growth (in my opinion).

I know it isn't. It's an instant. The deck consistantly gets out big creatures.
