Wilds of Eldraine looks otterly exciting for Standard, here’s why. Wilds of Eldraine is no Throne of Eldraine, but that’s a good thing. The power level outliers aren’t as ridiculous as Oko, Thief of Crowns and the removal Adventure spells are still present but attached to worse permanents or with higher costs.
