Lets start with the logs of these 7-X decks so you get a feel for how I navigate:

All 3 of these decks are pretty heavy B and this is no coincidence. First reason for this is very well captured in this slide from the Archetype breakdown stream @JasonILTG, @Sierkovitz and I did before the set came out.

First and foremost, there are zero green cards on this list. That *does not* mean green is bad. I think green is great! It's just greens commons are deep, and at a flat C+ power-level. There aren't green commons I'm happy to first pick, but the green decks are very good.

Green has like 10 great commons, so I end up in green a lot. Because of this, my top commons are about diversity and consistency. Cheap cards that do unique things biasing towards enchantment synergy.
1. Commune with Spirits
2. Fang of Shigeki
3. Fade into Antiquity

(Thread) Here's my top 10 cards from Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty. These are the cards I think will hold value long term. This would normally be a premium article, but I'm not currently writing / don't have time to flesh this out @starcitygames. #MTG #MTGNEON.
This list includes cards from Neon Dynasty and Neon Dynasty Commander (New cards, no reprints). They release at the same time so I'm going to include them together. Some of these cards might drop from preorder pricing in the short term, but will be great long-term picks! (/2)
10) Jin-Gitaxias, Progress Tyrant. Solid Praetor, excellent reanimation target, playable in multiple formats. Phyrexian version will be worth the most, but the Soft Glow frame is going to be undervalued to start.
Incoming long thread: I've been putting this off for a few days, but I wanted to break down the current state of @MTG_Arena, and what issues the client faces. @CubeApril inspired me to finally talk about this with her tweet a day or two ago on Twitch numbers. #mtg #MTGNeon
For starters, I will point out that the cloud of negativity surrounding both the client and the Alchemy format, which I mentioned last week, still lingers, and is driven by content creators and social media. This is not to say there isn't reason to be upset, but it exists.
That being said, I want this thread to primarily focus on the other challenges I feel the client is facing, and how I think they can best be fixed. I'll be discussing economy, card pool / format options, and general client features, just to be clear.
I have a few thoughts on Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty in general, and on Mechtitan Core in particular. I want to preface this by saying, I'm not Japanese and can't speak or read Japanese; my perspective is purely as an American who helped to design the set. 1/X #MTGNeon #WOTCstaff
The original Kamigawa block was a failure on a lot of levels, though it has always had its vocal proponents. Part of the problem lay in execution, both on the design and worldbuilding departments, part lay in a competitive format that was broken by Mirrodin block... 2/X
...and part lay in the audience. A lot of people were completely unfamiliar with the concepts evoked by the block, so the sets did not resonate with them. I've been a Magic designer for over ten years now, and for most of those years I opposed returning to Kamigawa. 3/X
