maro has directly stated in the past that they intentionally design gradual peaks and valleys in power level among standard sets

They've noted that when power levels dramatically drop all at once, nobody buys the next set. And when power levels dramatically jump all at once, the playerbase buys cards, but gets cranky and ultimately it isn't sustainable.

maro explained that kaladesh was the intended peak in late 2016/early 2017, with a slow decrease down to rivals of ixalan in early 2018.

extrapolating from there, you can see them slowly rising again to eldraine as the intended peak in 2019 (they overshot it), with a gradual decrease to what i'm tentatively marking as strixhaven in 2021

AFR doesn't count because it's intended as a core set, but i expect that the power level of sets will start creeping back up again with innistrad 3

You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured.
