With this comes new strategies, new decks, and plenty of delightfully weird mechanics to explore and enjoy in a whole new way
Each one brings a different vibe, some make you feel like a god, others are more about strategy and timing

Typically, cards can either give you tempo (generate a presence on the board) or give you value (keep your hand full of cards to play later)
For instance, despite all five Titans being legal, Elesh Norn was a dominant Standard card on multiple occasions, most memorably in its role of what you can Birthing Pod a Titan or Wurmcoil Engine into. Creatures (28) 1 Llanowar Elves 1 Solemn Simulacrum 4 Birds of Paradise 1 Acidic Slime 1 Inferno Titan 1 Wurmcoil Engine 1 Viridian Emissary 1 Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite 4 Blade Splicer 1 Fiend Hunter 3 Avacyn's Pilgrim 1 Geist-Honored Monk 4 Strangleroot Geist 4 Huntmaster of the Fells Lands (24) Spells (8) In a format full of haymakers, Elesh Norn was one for the ages, particularly alongside lots of small, dorky creatures like Llanowar Elves and Germ tokens
