In short, Etherweave is a tremendously fresh, challenging and fun deck to play, and to play against. It’s also one of the most interesting collaborations between designers I’ve come across—Turczi’s love and deep understanding of the base game shines through, as well as his designerly urge to shake it up with a potentially game-breaking mechanism.
Mechanics: 5 of 5. I love what Etherweave brings to the game. The linked abilities require a different kind of strategy and focus you on your opponent as much as yourself. Warp strongly impacts the play and feel of Tash-Kalar. And the cards contain some of the more powerful abilities in the game (along with appropriately difficult patterns for summoning).
