A little sad that both the inscription cycle and pathway cycle are incomplete even if the latter has been promised soon. Hopefully the pathway completion will have a similar aesthetic vibe and be available in both full art and normal styles.
There is a lot of card on this list of cards I have interest in but none of them look very broken, oppressive, or poorly and dangerously designed from a cube perspective. There are some cards that raise the eye for modern and the lands mix it up for constructed but compared to companions and Oko/Uro it is all pretty small fry stuff. Much as this set is low powered compared to almost everything we have seen since Dominaria I expect it to change the cube meta more than anything other than Theros and the escape cards. This is because the cards from this set that are good are all option rich cards that help increase consistency and provide an array of uses both early and late game. The spell lands are the biggest part of this but it is clear in most of the cards that I have rated highly.

I am a fan of this set. It has nice lands and I like lands. It has things that increase consistency and options by the bucket load and I am a massive fan of that. The power level is good without seeming too dangerous or mental.
