If I am correct, all of JOU was released today. Are you guys happy with it? I know that I am. I want your opinion on how you feel.
I think its pretty good :) a couple of the gods are pretty powerful and there are some cards that should see play in almost all formats. Favorite of the set would have to be the R/W god, I don't play boros but he's bamf that supports the archetype very well. Least favorite would be godsend, its a good card but I think it should've been a really good card.. the golgari god is a close second for my least favorite, I think shes the biggest let down of the set... all in all though it has great flavor and should be fun when it is released.

I absolutely love it, actually. It's much better than Dragon Maze was and a huge improvement from Born of the Gods. Excited to play with the new cards, especially Athreos, God of Passage

Hmm... I like it either more or less than BoG.... Atleast we have some good removal now. Even if it makes no sense why white gets better removal than black, but hey.And the blue commons and uncommons aren't complete disappointments this time around.

White is way to good overall, but the sett seems fine on the power-level. But it's mostly due to the white cards that are above and beyond anything that the others get. The best card in the sett is Mana Confluence
and it's really great for the 2 color decks to allow them to play mana hungry cards in different colors.

Overall I am very pleased with the set.
However, I do have the same observation as TexasDice and Jojja. I think white got MOST of the power cards. I mean there are some great cards in other colors but white definitely has the scale tipped in its favor.

Bit of disappointed with the lack of Golgari love :/ The longest wait for nothing.
Looks like white is the thing to play.

Everyone saying white got the most love need to realize that it NEEDED the most love. It was by far the weakest, most unplayed color in 3-4 sets. And this is coming from a GR player.
Good for you, Wizards.

@APPLE01DOJ I agree with you. I would have liked to see more Golgari graveyard fun, but maybe they just think that archetype shouldn't be in standard? I don't know. But I wish it was more viable.
