This set leans heavily into tribal synergies and flexible mana costs, forcing blue mages to adapt their traditional control strategies to a more board-centric environment
Id rather have a bunch of slow, steady card drawers than high-cost, explosive card draw, especially since Im not adding any infinite hand size cards like Reliquary Tower
The worst part: even though Dual Casting is a tap ability, you can usually put the aura on a creature which was already in play so assuming the spell you want to copy is an instant, you can go from innocuous boardstate to comboing off in the same turn for just four or five mana
its intended to help level the playing field for newer competitors who dont have Mox gems and cant afford them
