Welcome to Gaia! ::

I disagree. There have been way more overpowered cards in the past, Snapcaster mage is in my opinion the most powerful card yet in this block. I think even the Mirrodin block was better powered.
To be fair, Delver has made himself a deck in just about every format and snappy is doing some good work as well, so the block has produced something worth remembering. DKA doesn't do a thing in standard though, other than make B/W Tokens a thing.

I don't think this set is overpowered.. If anything I feel like it's underpowered in it's own right.

Think about it.. Like EpicLevelWarrior stated, alot of the sac engines are "Sac a human", meaning that you would have to run a lot humans in order to benefit from it.

I don't play standard but I feel like some of the stuff from this set isn't going to transition well into extended, legacy and Vintage.

There are some good cards in this set but it's not OP..
Delver is the only card from it I can see as being OP

Increasing Confusion is good but I would have rather have a traumatize like card with a higher flashback cost.. that be insane but unlikely to ever be made.

I think they should reprint Glimpse the Unthinkable - I'd like to see some Ravinca cards come back in a core set or next block.
Well...they did reprint Ghost Quarter. That counts as a Ravnica Block reprint my book, haha!

No love for Snaps?
Or even ol' Geisty?

Delver is good, but yeah, I can see where Geist of Saint Traft can get really annoying. Especially when you work on giving him evasion or protection from things. Probably one of my favorites is sticking a ghostly possession on him.

One of my favorite things is sticking an Angelic Destiny on him and you're swinging with two angels.

"Global kill, or no kill...that's how I roll." says the Geist...having hexproof has it's advantages.

Actually if you watched Pro Tour Dark Ascension, the good decks are playing Dungeon Geists, Lingering Souls, Drogskol Captain, and Huntermaster of the Fells.

Ya, I didn't really see Huntsmaster Kessig Ramp coming, but Spirit Delver variants were stirring around. Didn't expect them to be better than Pike Delver, but looks like they performed better this time. It is one of the decks I haven't personally tested at all though.

Tragic Slip is a little silly, IMO. Kills pretty much anything for 1 black mana.
Yeah nobody here is being mean, or trying to act superior.
it's just ISD block, comparatively to Mirrodin, or Lorwyn, hell even to Shard's/Zendikar.
is not that over powered. i mean honestly even TimeSpiral, and Ravnica were far more powerful blocks.
