Best Core Set Ever?
Spoilers, Rumors, and Speculation forum
Posted on July 3, 2014, 9:58 p.m. by katarhero
This core set has such a high level of card ability and value some are saying it is the best ever created. It has six planeswalkers, each of which can be argued as the best version of their respective walker, except for Jace and Liliana, as nothing can top Jace, the Mind Sculptor and Liliana of the Veil . It has a solid mythic series when used in conjunction with the support cards produced in the set. It has several solid mythics in Sliver Hivelord, the Chain Veil, Perilous Vault, and the ever ominous Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth . It has a solid set of uncommons like Ensoul artifact, and a mostly good set of rares. What do you guys think?
I pre-ordered a box.. Might just get another when I pick it up... >.> ...... <.< ......=D

I think that we've been so starved for good cards since Theros came out that the soul cycle looks appealing to us. Sure, standard's going to be awesome, but I don't actually see to much eternal value in any of these cards.
Even with that being said, though, I play standard and will be spending quite a few dollars on this set.

I loved M13 the most since Xth, despite Thragtusk and Liliana of the Dark Realms being in it.
But M15 is trying really hard. I already like it more than M14, but that's nothing, because I even liked Born of the Gods more than M14.

Yiishh. Harsh words there mate. M14 crying in corner atm.

M14 was most boring bland bunch of cards. So disappointed with that set. ...and Theros block.

I've been disappointed with everything since Gatecrash. Dragon's Maze was meh, M14 sucked, and nothing from the Theros block has really been exciting. This is the first release I'm really looking forward to in a year or 2.

I'm actually with kmcree here. Theros had ok flavor. I'm more partial towards Ravnica and Innistrad, but it was ok in term of feel. Just lacked power and gave way to decks that didn't feel too interactive.

I don't know how many will agree with me, but I feel like M15 is stronger than the entirety of the Theros block. Looks more fun too, if less flavorful.

Woah...@TexasDice...why you gotta be slamming my girl Liliana of the Dark Realms ? What has she ever done to you? Haha

Compared to M14, the new core set is looking to be much better. I may end up buying a box . Definitely one of the better sets released in awhile.

They had to rein the power creep in some with Theros block, it seems they are pouring the power icing on the power cake with M15, part of me is scared that KTK is going to be near Homelands bad.

I think I still prefer M10, but M15 is proving to be quite exceptional for a core set. Beta obviously is still the best ever, but picking it feels like cheating somehow.

The only card that would make this set even more amazing is a reprint of Storm Crow .

How about we wait until KTK comes around before we judge. Born of the Gods didn't seem too bad at first glance, so let's just give this time before judging it. That being said, it does look quite nice. I was looking forward to some new regular mythics. i.e. some non-cycle non walker coloured ones, but this is a really good set overall it seems. And they reprinted Ornithopter WOOOOOOOOT!!!!!!!!

Really good set, a definite make up for the very crappy M14

M15 is awesome. However, I am biased in favor of M13, since it's the set I started on. So what if Thragtusk was slightly underpriced and is now competing for best green card with Sylvan Library .

@Scytec: She did nothing against me. Or for me. That's her entire problem.

Me gusta. I may actually buy a box by myself- I'm that impressed with the set.
