Farewell, Core 2021

Today is part 4 (of 4) of my look at sets departing standard, looking at Core 2021 (M21). Released in July 2020, this core set featured themes of +1/+1 counters, "flying matters," and dogs as a new tribe.

Favorites
I like core sets in general, and M21 was no different. I could have featured more than the five below:

Teferi was the basis of my mill deck. Vito is outstanding in vampire decks (or Orzhov lifegain ones). Terror was a great red card, and Gargaroth and great green. Conclave Mentor was fun in +1/+1 counter decks.

Good Riddance

There's just one here.

I don't like planeswalkers in general, and Ugin's abilities were especially annoying (and usually game-ending).

Final Thoughts

It was fun to see dogs get their tribe in M21, and I'm sad that we didn't get a core set this year. Bye, M21- I hope more core sets are coming soon.
