    Not as angry as I am about not getting a Killer Rabbit card... :p

    Ardenvale Tactician and some of the other adventures seem like they'll be great in this format.

    It's ranking per character. For example- Elspeth is in A tier because she is one of the best characters and has some of the best cards. The Wanderer is in D tier for having an interesting premise but no good cards. Vivien is in F tier for being a pointless character with derivative cards.

    This format manages to be a lot of fun basically just because the cards are so flavorful. At my prerelease, I trapped a Clackbridge Troll in a tower, and proceeded to beat down it's controller with a Goat token holding a Giant's Skewer. I don't think it would have been as fun if the cards...

    Here's my Planeswalker Tier List: I feel pretty confident about most of these ratings. I based my decisions on both card power and how much I like the character. Arguably, I could have put Ugin in S tier and Chandra in A. Some of the walkers in C tier could go up or down a tier as well- however...

    I pretty much only start these because I want an easy-to-find place with all of people's adds. It makes it easier to synthesize data.

    But not wanting legendary lands in standard is completely relevant as to why the castles from this set aren't legends. Hall of Heliod's Generosity is both a card that is a callback to something older and not something that's ever going to be a part of a standard mana base. Therefore, it is...

    It's probably just random internet troll who got bored of 4chan and harassing women and needed something to do before their Confederate Flag, MAGA hat, and Jefferson Davis cosplay arrive in the mail. I don't think enough people know about CC yet for it to be the sort of go-to replacement for...

    Apparently Oko is a reference to A Midsummer Night's Dream as well... I think we should have gotten a separate Shakespearian world. Maybe in combination with the Industrial Revolution britain world that was teased in Future Sight? I think using Shakespeare as inspiration for the world's...

    I'd go with Recruiter of the Guard and Bygone Bishop. Recruiter of the Guard is insanely powerful. This card is basically Demonic Tutor for Death and Taxes style decks with a 1/1 attached. A lot of the best value dudes in magic have 2 or less toughness. In addition to the cards you named...

    What's with these particular picks? All of these seem really weak compared to a number of the other options at your power level.

    A few of these seem really weak on -1 compared to some of the other stuff in this format. Why would I ever play Sludge Strider if my opponent is playing out Shambling Remains a turn before that? Same thing with stuff like Bant Sojourners, Grixis Sojourners , and Warden of the Eye. All of these...

    Oh for sure. Every adventure except for maybe Garenbrig Carver is playable in some cube format- which is not true for very many mechanics. Wizards did an amazing job balancing these. Adventure may very well be the first dudless mechanic in a very, very long time.

    They're pretty obvious references to Shrek... "Ogre Knights" and Smash Mouth are not common fairy tale tropes. If you go onto the MTGS Eldraine trivia page, they even have All That Glitters listed as a Smash Mouth reference. They also made a Shrek Reference in the twitter reveal for the...

    A reference to the song "All Star" at the beginning of the film. It features the verse: "And all that glitters is gold. Only shooting stars break the mold." A reference to the scene at the beginning of the first Shrek movie where Shrek bursts through a door. This specific Ogre even has little...

    I am not surprised at all that Inquisitive Puppet has been underwhelming for you. It looked super janky to me. I'm glad Embercleave has been putting up results- that card is very interesting to me. What did you take out for Grumgully? I'm kind of considering him in place of Rhythm of the...

    Usually I would agree with the general point of your statement, except for the fact that there are at least 3 references to Shrek in this set. One of the cards is a Smash Mouth reference as well! It just kind of sucks when your favorite trope from a "top-down x" world gets snubbed. To me, this...

    Yeah but the Black Knight is a fairly common Arthurian Legends trope. Maybe the card is trying to parody Monty Python to some degree, but it's not immediately evident. The witches from Macbeth and Smash Mouth both got cards in this set. Why couldn't my Killer Bunny Boi have gotten a card as well?

    What type of place do you work at where Scryfall would need to be banned??
