I got the masterpiece Hexdrinker.

Trying to imagine how strategically it's worth its weight but nothing really comes to mind.  Seems like a pretty bad masterpiece.

    Mine was Sisay, Weatherlight Captain.
    I was pleased at first (not Urza but at least something) because I wanted to build a 5-color Ugin-deck with Sphinx of the Guildpact and Niv-Mizzet. I did it, but it was not as good as expected.

    But when I looked at the possible picks, I also thought: "please do not let it be Hexdrinker", sorry for the pick. My first eldraine mytic was Acclaimed Contender and I still don't understand why this isn't just a common.

    I got Magic Mirror, and it's fun! Finally a great Standard target for Emry.
    Plus, it gave me a reason to use the new Naheb.

    I got a Wicked Wolf.  Haven't tried it yet, but I imagine he's good in a food deck.

    Was hoping for Urza, though, as I'm sure everyone else was lol

    I got Giver of Runes. Which seems really good! But I also don't really have any ideas about how to best make use of it.

    I got Emry, Lurker of the Loch. I quite like it for my new Tezz v.4 deck.

    Every time I see it though I can't help but think of Sean Bean reading the quote from Civ 6:

    "Listen - strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government... You can't expect to wield supreme executive power just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!" - Monty Python and the Holy Grail

    I mean, that's pretty much who the card is supposed to be.  So I guess WoTC did a good job  :D

    Harmonius Archon, which I'm still trying to work out. I guess it's a token-booster? There are (currently) only two Archons so a theme-deck is out.

    I got the Sisay, Weatherlight Captain masterpiece and, drumroll, she's bugged and doesn't work as written.

    Both her abilities mention "for each color among nontoken cards you control" but it only checks creatures and doesn't factor in supports at all.  So having Bolas Vanguard and her in play doesn't yield +8 mana on her fetch ability and doesn't give her +4/+4 either.

    Edit: After further experimentation, she ignores Vanguards.  Regular supports works.

    I got Fervent Champion. It seems kinda meh, but I'm not complaining. He may work his way into a meekstone or knight objective deck, so I guess he's somewhat useful.

    Magic Mirror for me. Looks to be a good card for PvE, not really sold on it for PvP.

    I got that on release day (one of 2 mythics in my 5 pp pulls lol).

    Its a weird card (it won't gain shield if you can't draw any cards), but definitely solid if you can keep it out for a couple turns.  It becomes 2 free cards every turn very quickly.

    I actually ran it in a Tezz 1 build in the last Emrakul event and it worked quite well.  It worked less well in my Fathom Mage Jace build because all the other draw effects I have kind of negated it.  It should be pretty awesome in any Beacon Bolt build, although I haven't tried it out there yet.

    I slapped it in a deck with Emry and a pile of Surveil spells and things got out of control quickly.

    500 orbs... I guess this is like a first world problem of having every non vanguard in the game.
