Had a chance to play a few games with Jesse, a fellow artifact enthusiast and enjoyer of grindy, solitairey games.

Some thoughts we both had:

• Chrome Mox should probably come out. The asfan for coloured cards is so low that Chrome Mox feels pretty bad almost every time. It also makes Breya look like a juicy colour source rather than an exciting card to play.
• The Borderpost cycle could be a really cool addition. Gives the possibility of retrieving lands from play to replay as artifacts. This does make the decision of which card to play as lands is potentially less important. Would probably cycle out the Ikoria Crystals in place of these.
• Cards like Disciple of the Vault and Reckless Fireweaver put in a lot of work, pressuring players to think about how far they can extend themselves.
• Bag of Holding did a lot of work too, keeping things out of the yard and offering up an entirely new hand when we'd run out of gas.

We didn't get a lot of thopter action happening, most games were decided with direct damage, so more games are necessary. Overall, first impressions are that it's a satisfying process, playing Black Lotus and Moxen is very fun and thinking through lines to maximise value is very cool.
