mtg card proxy and Sticker set - (Desert) copy written or trademarked by WOTC are not used and any overlapping text or names are pure coincidence Proxy card - MTG Wiki

In the set itself, there are an absolute ton of legends, so playing from the set won't be an issue

The benefit here is that equipment and vehicle cards generally have generic casting costs rather than colored, so you can do some really silly things

For noncreatures, nothing beats Survival of the Fittest if you've got the money for it, but Worldly Tutor / Sylvan Tutor are staples as well and Gruul has some funky good ones like Signal the Clans

There are 5 uncommon (7.9%) SPE cards that can be found in these slots

I might be surprised if new information dropping for sets months in advance wasn't the norm these days
