First off, this set is amazing and reminds me how much I hated Eldraine in limited. There is no Food, no Revenge of Ravens, not a true opponent milling archetype.
Anyway, I'm a huge of of Theros Beyond Death. The Escape mechanic makes you think twice before killing an opponent's creature, which is an interesting decision to make.
The strategy of this deck was to put cheap creatures on the board, enchant them and recur them, and remove their big baddies. I lost in a mirror match due to no indestructible mythic in my sealed pool...
I struggled to get 15 creatures in two colors into my deck, and was light on the top end of the curve.
I have to say Archon of Falling Stars underperformed. A six-drop that triggers something on it's death is way too late in the game to be useful in limited.
Revoke Existence is perhaps the best common in the set. A 2-drop that EXILES artifacts and enchantments and in this set happens to remove like half the creatures? The card is ridiculous.
Shadowspear was another high performer.
Aphemia is pretty good, but underperformed. It's hard to get enough enchantments into your graveyard to exile them and make zombies unless you are the U/B self-mill archetype.
Nyxborn Courser on the other hand...a 2/4 for three is a great defender, and was a frequent target of enchantments.
Shatter the Sky of course usually flummoxed my opponents and took the color out of their faces. Board wipe feels bad man, but half the time they got to draw a card so nbd amirite? (:
Overall I had lots of fun because the games in Theros Beyond Death are fast. I did notice a preponderance of matches around me went 2-0. It seems like once you get an advantage engine going you can steamroll your opponents.
