The flavor is there for most of them! I’m a big fan of cards like Displacer Beast. The goal of the deck was to shove as much of the D&D art in there while still having a defined wincon and having a deck that would still be fun for both me and everyone I play the deck against.

Now that 2022 has had some time to settle and we’ve had enough time to play with the cards from the final releases of the year, we’re ready to share our favorite cards from 2022. We (Chief, Who Endures and Exxaxl, Progress Tyrant) will recap our selections for each major set released last year.

Deep Gnome Terramancer seems like an instant staple that’s never going away until they release something even better. I feel this is what WOTC originally intended to do with Boreas Charger or Cartographer’s Hawk, but maybe at that point there wasn’t as high of a demand to ‘fix white’ in EDH or they just weren’t sure how far they could push white while still staying within the boundaries of the color pie.

You can’t have a Mindflayer captain without a ship! Nautiloid Ship gives you another graveyard exile effect - but this one allows you to use the cards exiled by it, making it a nice card for both its mechanic and its flavor.

Go for the eyes, Boo. GO FOR THE EYES! RrraaaAAGHGHH!
