Not so much of a triumphant portrait, Cartagena says the circular shape of this sets showcase frame is meant to express what happens inside the Ring, saying it symbolizes the power that the quest for the One Ring can have in the different characters internal struggles. While thats it for new cards, we were also given a first look at another of Gandalfs incarnations as the much more stern Gandalf the White
We're also tweaking the removal with the addition of Crib Swap, which counts as a Knight card so it's relevant for a couple things most notably Haakon, Stromgald Scourge, which we can repeatedly recast from the graveyard
If you have more land than your opponent, or if your spells are cheaper than their counterspells, or if (as above) you have instants to lead with during their end step, it can pay to save threats in hand until they exceed the number of solutions your opponent can pay for, regardless of if they have them
None are more sought after than Ulamog, the Defiler, though
When facing Ugin it can be very hard to play around it too and you just have to hope they don't see him, or of course that you beat them before they get to eight mana
So my deck bases its strategy on the benefits of mill, using easy but strong combos
