Oh...he's the face commander, isn't he? Awful stuff, printing foil-only cards. I stand by my strong opinion that every Magic card should have a black-bordered non-foil version.

I adore the heck out of the design. It was one of the first cards spoiled from the Necron deck and indicated a thrilling direction for the deck that I was eager to see more of. All of your points are relevant and things that crossed my mind at first blush, and I spent a fair bit of time trying...

Unironically it took me nearly 5 years to stop believing that my first expansion post joining the game, Coldsnap, was not the greatest Magic: the Gathering set of all time (it still kicks ass though).

Interesting consideration here. I was devastated to take out Huntmaster from my own list, as it was an original member of my Cube back when it was 450 cards and rode me to victory many times in its glory days. I took it out not for power level -- nostalgia would have fought me too hard -- but...

As a counterpoint, Pioneer and Modern are both interesting and healthy. Pioneer's getting plenty of play around me (though I am moving in 3 days, so who knows what being halfway around the world will do to my POV there) and is the best it's ever been. Modern is annoyingly the MH2 Block format...

I think there's some really neat designs here. I especially like the art on the basics -- just excellent representations of the five land types. You really could use them as a template for all future sets. Might have to pass on this though, I'm pretty sure I'd spend $999 and get these as my...

Oops, wrong thread!!

Interesting. Mishra, Claimed By Gix is a fine card that doesn't need to attack to get the trigger, but it feels like a bad Hellrider on its front side. I wouldn't be brining it up if it didn't have a backside, but I'm a little worried that the Meld because I DO adore Phyrexian Dragon Engine, on...

Rumbling SlumGreater GargadonDust Elemental These were my favorite cards when I first started playing. Rumbling Slum was the rare of the first booster pack I opened and even as a Magic noob I salivated at efficiently-costed beaters. Greater Gargadon ignited my imagination by its art, its size...

I'm trying to collect every Mountain card and I make a decent living but I still can't imagine ever owning one.

I'm honestly shocked and appalled from a brand management perspective they didn't redraw all of them in Magic-style. The Stranger Things cards looked a little wonky, but at least they looked like Magic cards. These don't just look like bad custom Magic cards, they look like lazy ones. It makes...

The only thing as good as [BRO] as a set code is [BOT]. From what I understand, these Transformers cards are in BRO in some way. Maybe just the Collector's Boosters? I don't really understand and I'm happy to wait until Monday to find out the deets but in the meantime, against my better...

Here's my solution: you make all your basics in the land box less desirable and/or identical boring lands, and then give players literal raffle tickets to get the best basics. You can make the default lands all white bordered as an extra incentive. Give every something like 10 raffle tickets to...

Recruitment Officer is one of my favorite 2/1s for W. Fair and fun way to add card draw into white. Good art, too (I prefer the standard to the game day promo for sure). Surge Engine Surprised you didn't mention this one! Blue gets its second Figure of Destiny (lol), and this one doesn't...

I think there are lots of fair points raised here, and want to emphasize how happy I am that people like the set. But to address a few points: Actually, I was hoping this change would fix the biggest issue I had with Unstable specifically, a set I thought was quite good overall. Even though it...

Full spoiler is out! From the first post in this thread, my expectations were reasonably high back in November. Let's see how they lined up: Did we get any of these things? From the discourse (even here!) there seems to be even more eye-rolling going on around un-cards. Aesthetically, I do...

The moment I start making proxies, there's no logically consistent reason to not just proxy my entire cube or introduce my own custom cards, etc. Both of which are fine, sure, but I do like owning and collecting the actual cards, and I'm pretty happy using "what WotC has actually printed" as...

Goodness! That's annoying, that's a fourth unique token I have to bring in to my cube then for this expansion that adds only a total of 8 cards to my list.

Due to a bit more theorycrafting, reviewing the cards, reading articles, etc. I'm going to be adding these two as well: Space Marine DevastatorThunderhawk Gunship The Devastator is admittedly somewhat boring and I don't like the idea of it taking a 4-drop slot, but I feel this effect is...
