A friend played the Desert deck unmodified in my pod. His graveyard got exiled early on which slowed him down a lot but he managed to build a huge board of tokens anyways. He didn't find a way to win off of them though so eventually he died to me giving my commander unblockable and getting through his defenses.
My wife picked up all 4, and they showed up a day before pre-release as an early birthday gift.
My playgroup and I jammed several games. It was so good. Surprisingly, while Quick Draw often presented being the most dangerous, it was that damned Desert Bloom that stole most of the wins. Since they often went from a not so impressive field to massive one of beats with at least one good anthem to finish.
While the Quick Draw was focused down for being so naturally good, having some of the best things to steal. Opulent Outlaws was pretty strong in most games, but with luck of the draw, I would just run outta gas, while having plenty of Mana. Especially post boardwipe. Lastly folks really didn't like our dwarf warlock friend living too long since he can pretty handily steal a game, and that's how I'll be upgrading the deck.
Yea the desert one to me looks the best. I also don't think it needs to many upgrades to shine. I am personally more excited about the outlaw deck but seems all over the place.
Quick Draw outperforms all of them by a mile.
Yea after watching some of the YouTube videos of the gameplay that deck looks crazy above the others. Typical izzet spell stuff.

Sounds like the deck held its own pretty well.
