I'd be interested in exploring the tension between having lots of different lands (domain, differently named lands) or having lots of lands of the same type (Koth of the Hammer, Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle).

I wonder if it will be similar to archenemy. I’m looking forward to Avatar. My younger son was really into it a few years ago and I watched most of it with him. We’re already planning on going to the prerelease together. Aesthetically it is not dissimilar to Tarkir in terms of world building...

I don’t get all the references, but is the suggestion that Bolas’s return will connect Universes Beyond to Universes Within? Will he travel to the plane of Middle Earth to pick up the one ring, to the plane of Hyrule to seize the triforce, and so on? Is this the fault of Jace and Loot? Will...

The Elemental Incarnations are a lovely design. I’m trying to decide whether being terrible reanimation targets is a feature or a bug.

Especially as they have already done so.

Have you seen the latest set?

I like those quarter dots: clear without being intrusive and look quite attreactive. I'm with you on this. Taking my older son to start university next weekend.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention, Velrun. I've been toying with the idea of building a Premodern cube for a while, as this cover the era of Magic that carries the most nostalgia for me. I'm not sure who I would play it with, though. It's interesting to see that the format uses...

Arena will sometimes have special draft formats, so I don’t think Wizards are inherently opposed. As well as avoiding coding difficulties, it also saves them the bother of specifying what special rules are acceptable. It’s easier just to have a blanket ban. If we want to influence this as a...

Anger I like to include anger in token making ascendancy decks, as it allows me to attack on the turn I go off, and can be discarded using the looting effect.

This would make perfect sense on Ravnica: a Simic experiment escapes from one of the growth chambers, it’s spawn scattering across the plane to act as heroic vigilantes, protecting the everyday folk from the depredations of the corrupt guilds.

I agree with all of this, particularly the shuffling. Omens are exhausting.

Because Bloomburrow is the Furry set not the Fairy set.

Only 12 ornithopters? I hear that the cool kids are running 88 more than that. Unexpected Potential is a great suggestion. Having perfect fixing for a single splashed card encourages interesting deck building in my experience.

I've had success with it at the intersection between Naya go-wide and Mardu sacrifice themes. It does need support, for example Warleader's Call, but can be fun.
