Looks good to me. As I only have LCG cards it will be nice to play with the day/night strategies.

I like the art on the 700 Steps.

Snow Graves, however, leave me cold.

And the Gug Chieftan. I must admit, even with the many good and some great looking Dreamlands cards spoiled, I hope there will be much sweeter Dreamlands cards. I hope the real gems remain hidden. It is a favorite exercise to list most desirable Dreamlands cards. Most of us are biased toward primary characters from the h.p. text and the amazing artwork of the mythos dreamlands locations. We've waited very long for Dreamlands. We saw the game on life support, killing rumors of a Dreamlands arc, an excel spreadsheet even, to follow in the richness of Arkham and Eldritch. Nowadays some token Dreamlands cards exist (no "c" in exist) - Leng, Clever Zoog, Randolph Carter, Dreamlands Messenger, Slavering Gug, etc. - lean shadows of a bygone CCG era that never was.

I guess my long winded point is I hope we reach or exceed potential. Protagonists Catherine and Gregory get the pass as did Julia and Marshall. Their place in the lexicon, well Julia has not overwhelmed. But my point is set slots here. Add them to their "storyline cards" and Day and Night and conspiracies and there's precious little space left in this 120 card set for the myriad Dreamlands heavy hitters. A lot will be left out. The frustrating cards will be magnified. Dreamlands is a long time coming. It almost never got here at all. What if we'd got our 553 card Dreamlands CCG arc? The bar is impossibly high.
