Week one makes every card look good, so we’ll use Isca the Unbeaten as a reference to gauge how the other two new releases are faring so far.
Performance wise, Isca is beating them both, although the gap isn’t that big. Indeed, while she is arguably a stronger card, both En Sabah Nur and
However, the popularity is a bit more concerning, as Isca the Unbeaten beats the other two combined.
Season pass cards tend to be quite popular early in the season, simply for the sake of playing a card we payed for. So far, Isca the Unbeaten is twice as popular as En Sabah Nur, and the reason isn’t because she is on Shou-Lao or The Master of the Sun type of numbers.
Rather, It seems En Sabah Nur isn’t very exciting to play overall, on top of being limited to archetypes with a specific play-style.
It is still early in the season, but we could already expect the season pass card to be buffed in the near future.

En Sabah Nur Performance
Decks with En Sabah Nur
The new season pass found several archetypes to synergize with, cementing its place in the early March metagame. However, En Sabah Nur has yet to feel special in those archetypes.
Indeed, no matter whether you look at Thanos or the modified Ramp deck, there is always another card you could use to replace En Sabah Nur. Thanos has Lockjaw or Blink available, while Ramp can use Electro or Luna Snow to get to its high-cost cards.
At the moment, the main upside to En Sabah Nur is to keep the opponent in the dark as to which card will come out in our front-row when the 4-cost transforms. While it will win us cubes when it goes our way, I’m sure we are also staying in lost games just because we hope En Sabah Nur will pull some sort of magic trick. Add to that random element the fact Cosmo or Stardust are quite popular, and we could see very little of the season pass card once bots are out of the picture.

The season pass card makes sense in several archetypes, although it doesn’t look like a mandatory inclusion. Rather, En Sabah Nur makes sense to add in a deck already capable of filling all front-rows, and with high-cost cards to cheat out. Using the card might entice you to play an extra high-cost in your build.

One deck seems built around En Sabah Nur specifically, with the season pass and Jubilee representing ways to cheat out big cards. This looks like a modified Ramp deck, with other means to get the high-cost cards in play.
