Dominaria Brewing-Top Cards I'm Most Anxious to Brew With

Image
After reading through the entire Dominaria library, I have to say that I'm extremely excited to get started deckbuilding.  My excitement extends from Standard to Modern and especially Brawl. But I wanted to consolidate a list of cards that I'm excited to build with, mostly because I want to preserve this excitement for a few months and reopen this article to see what I haven't used yet.  I did this with a previous set by calling out 'pairings' of cards that I thought would work well together. This list is going to primarily focus on jankiness.  I don't really want to point out cards that are obvious.  "So, you think the 7/6 monster with trample and hexproof is going to be good?  Nice call Captain Obvious."  That's not this article. Let's have some fun here.  I'll try to keep it to the top 3 in each color, but no promises. White: There are many ways you can cast this, then empty your opponent's graveyard, reaping the II and III

In an effort to understand how Sagas fit into the big picture, I did what I usually do and made a spreadsheet to help gain some insight into timing.  I laid out the Saga enchantments and tried to fit them together like a jigsaw puzzle.  The picture shows the result of that effort.  The end note is....I like Sagas.  I think they have a lot of potential.  The timing of each part of the Saga, I believe, will be what makes or breaks these enchantments.  This is an initial effort meant to generate conversation.  So...what are your ideas and opinions.  As the Sagas resolve, you can see how confusing it can get.  In case you're just seeing this, I'm on a second revision...thanks Razorblades12. This was done without taking into account any of your opponent's removal...it's just a study in potential.  Your comments are welcomed.
