I think this is a fair point. When I was saying this change is a "win-win," I was talking about a gameplay perspective. I think this will have an overwhelmingly positive effect compared to the status quo on that front, provided the information WOTC is providing is accurate. However, from the...

Gollum, Scheming Guide being the prime example of what is wrong with Magic in 2023 is the single hottest take I've heard in a while...

The primary solution

Turns out, people like that now!

Interestingly, one of the cards that pushed the design team over the edge on this point was Gollum, Scheming Guide. This card was designed for the LOTR starter decks. Product architect and pro-tour hall of famer Mark Turian thought the card was too complex for new players and tried to get it cut...

I think given the way Magic has historically been designed, you actually can have both, at least in relation to what we used to get. A huge portion of Magic packs have effectively been duds by design essentially since the game's conception. For the longest time, a normal draft booster...

I really appreciate your posts but I have no idea what you’re talking about half the time.

We have some more information about Play Boosters from Weekly MTG: - Limited play has been consistently on the upswing, both digitally and in paper, for the last three years. On Arena especially, Limited play is huge. - Some markets had stopped ordering draft boosters from WotC, which caused...

I also enjoy Decadent Dragon, it's a very fun card.

I think this is a pretty cool change. Basically since set boosters were released, I always preferred prereleases at my LGS to any other type of event because the prizes were set boosters instead of draft boosters. Set boosters are better than draft boosters in basically every way except for the...

You know what I hate about this card? It’s a Gray Ogre and it doesn’t work with Changeling Outcast.

Does it even need updated flavor? It’s literally just an Angel statue standing in a cemetery.

What? You don't want to read Hill Giant with a novel's worth of useless text?

bro dont do me like that :p

I did end up making a testing thread since this set is literally the same size as Fate Reforged. You can find that here.

This is a testing/includes thread. Post pictures using /ci or a text list using /c with what cards you plan to include and what cards you plan to test. Including: Testing: Astrid Peth Banish to Another Universe The Flux Displaced Dinosaurs Rory Williams Heaven Sent Dinosaurs on a Spaceship...

Can't wait for some internet microcelebrity to play this on Game Knights and talk about how broken it is!

I think you're right. I just think this was the wrong decision given the generally broad appeal of Dr. Who. They nerfed these cards so much that the key characters don't feel much like anything.

I forgot to mention this card earlier. I think this card is super interesting in game object.deck and potentially even prowess builds (since it effectively "regenerates" itself every couple of turns). My only concern is that it's really mana-intensive and is in tight competition for breathing...

You're totally correct in saying that some of the 40k cards are popular as commanders, but I don't think that's incompatible with anything I said. After all, the fifth most popular commander of the past two years, according to EDHrec is Wilhelt, the Rotcleaver. Wilhelt is not a terrible card by...
