    Another thing that Jesse points out is that their metric for success or failure of a set is primarily linked to sales, so a well designed set that sold poorly (Time Spiral) is viewed as a failure, and a poorly designed set that sold well (Zendikar) is viewed as a success, even though there are...

    Weird wording on the reminder text, I guess it's for space reasons but it's kind of funny you're supposed to put the card into your hand without searching your library for it first.

    I think there's many levels of "theme" or "flavour" and Magic succeeds and fails at them to various degrees. The one which I think is the most important is also the one Magic does best, which is what anotak points out - evocative cards that make sense in such a way that the theming of the card...

    Some thoughts from my experience over the long weekend at GP Birmingham. First of all, my non-cube endeavours - I was signed up for the Legacy GP, planning on playing Death and Taxes, but a couple of nights before I had a crisis of confidence in my deck and switched over to the Constructed...

    I think the idea that the pieces of the game are, or should be, worth something in and of themselves, and that this is something accepted by many players when perhaps it shouldn't be is a valid point.

    Artificer's Assistant seems pretty bad. What about Blurry Beeble for artifact support?

    Someone else first picked Oketra's Monument and drafted around it, and went 3-0 again. I'm really excited about this card, it's the real deal for sure.

    I think this is a really cool mechanic, with a lot of flexibility and design space, and it's very flavourful to boot. It gives spirits a mechanical identity that they were missing in the Innistrad blocks in a way that totally makes sense. I don't have much to comment on the specific card...

    Chupacabra just looks so sheepish. If I didn't support humans I'd switch to the choops, but Nekrataal just about holds on due to that and the more relevant body. I don't like the non-black restriction but the creature type just about outweighs it.
