I've only played sealed once and draft once so far, so this opinion is subject to change. But I like it. What stands out to me is the role tokens. For as long as I can remember, the advice has just been "don't draft auras; you're opening yourself up to card disadvantage." Roles are finally playable auras. They're fun and they seem pretty well balanced. The fact that a creature can only have one role at a time makes for interesting gameplay decisions and unique opportunities to generate value. [[Cursed Courtier]] in particular is a great design, really fun to make it work.

I agree with what you say about the archetypes flowing into each other, and I think roles are a big part of that. [[Unassuming Sage]], for example, fits in RW celebration and BW enchantment sacrifice and GW auras.

So far it's been my favorite set since Zendikar Rising. I absolutely love it and I'm planning to draft as much as possible. Some of the things I love a lot:

• Role tokens -- these are so versatile and add a really fun element to the game
• Bargain -- combos with roles and food tokens really well and this is another great mechanic
• All of the colors are playable and each has advantages
• Nearly every color pair has a good strategy and has a shot against any deck
• There aren't too many bombs that run away with the game, everything seems like you can beat it or play around it

Things that killed me in LTR limited were cards like [[Witch-king of Angmar]] being unanswerable, or the fact that Izzet turbo tempt was obviously the strongest deck, or grixis being the only real viable colors to play. I think green was flat out unplayable.

WOE to me feels like every game is a great game of magic. I'm interested to see how sealed is but so far for me the format has been a lot of fun. Both to play and watch streamers play. I think there are still lots of new things to discover too.
