Abyssian
Abyssian got a very moderate response, with no card being clearly judged as OP. Instead, it got a slew of Niche cards with a steady but not very dramatic response. Their Mythron card got a fairly positive response, with many seeming to think the card might spawn a successful deck type.

Lyonar
Lyonar had a mixed showing between seemingly underwhelming cards like Lionize and Indominus but also a few promising cards, with Lifestream garnering the most attention and worry. Their Mythron got a positive review for a Niche it might be carving out soon.

Songhai
Songhai’s cards received very mixed reviews overall, with very few cards being clearly judged in any one way. Meditate got top marks, and Xenkai Cannoneer was reviewed favorably, but their Mythron got a skeptical reception overall.

Vanar
Vanar might have had the weakest showing of all the factions this time around, with only Disciple of Yggdra getting a clearly positive rating. Most cards hovered around Niche and Viable ratings, but with a big spread overall. Their Mythron seems to have been judged as the weakest of the faction Mythron cards.

Vetruvian
Vetruvian had a strong showing with the stellar Accumulonimbus and Khanuum-Ka. Most cards were Niche favorites, which also applies to their Mythron which is seen as capable of having its own Artifact deck built around it.

Neutral
Aside from Mirrorim the Neutrals didn’t get a lot of hype surrounding them. Aer Pridebeak was judged favorably but most cards were seen as middling or weak. Both Streamer cards got harsh reviews, at least in terms of their competitive potential. The Neutral Mythron was judged very harshly as well, not many saw a future in a Highlander deck just yet.

Overall I think Magmar made out the best and Vanar made out the worst. The Mythron cards for Abyssian and Magmar might see sustained play and I don’t think a dedicated Intensify deck will see serious play. Instead I think Intensify minions will just be scattered throughout regular decks.
This was a lot of work so I hope you enjoyed having a gander! Happy gaming.
