Some thoughts on Kaladesh and the like. —Sept. 21, 2016

Kaladesh spoilers have come and gone with nothing for Kaalia.

People say that creature power level is on the rise, while this is true for the lower end of the curve, the inverse seems true for the higher end. We've been to a block all about dragons, returned to Innistrad, a plane infested with angels and demons, mind you, and came out of them both with nothing of real note. Where are the powerhouses that the original Innistrad and Return to Ravnica blocks offered us? I find it ironic that the only creature that I run from the Khans block is a Demon of all things, one who barely makes the cut outside of my meta.

Rambling aside, the deck's been performing well. I soon hope to acquire Rakdos the Defiler. The value of Strionic Resonator and Sunforger have been brought up so I've added them to the maybeboard.

I feel as though Aggravated Assault and/or Sword of Feast and Famine haven't quite been pulling their weight. I'm considering their slots for the aforementioned cards or possibly from other prison pieces, going off of feedback from another deck.
