Limited players out there, what are your thoughts on WOE as a format so far? (lemm.ee)

Personally I'm enjoying it! I generally tend to prefer pretty formats with a decent amount of complexity, which WOE doesn't have a ton of, but certainly it has enough to keep things interesting and plays quite smoothly once the patterns are picked up. It's a format where the archetypes flow into each other nicely, which is particularly appreciated, imo.

I know it's only been out a week so far, but what are all y'all's feelings on it? Yay? Nay?

I've seen a surprising number of three+ color decks running around and I can't decide if it's a mistake or not. There's some amount of fixing with treasure floating around, but I've been sticking to the two color archetypes with decent success. My best decks so far seem to find one of the tentpole uncommons and build around that.

Given that we have access to prophetic prism and Crystal Grotto and treasures it certainly seems like splashing 1 or 2 great cards is right. Definitely at least the off color adventures should be right.

True, though prism is a pretty low pick, imo, and I just straight up don't like filter lands like, ever. I could totally be wrong, of course. I do think the off color adventures are solid picks, though. Most are decent even if only one side gets played.
