Well, it's when Phyrexia showed up in the current storyline. I think the story actually started when Elspeth Conquered Death back in Theros: Beyond Death. Fun fact: Sheoldred was originally going to be the big villain of Throne of Eldraine instead of Oko, but they decided to push back the...

Creature-type updates have been happening since Lorwyn block. They decided that every time they make a new creature type, they're going to add the new type to every pre-existing creature that is obviously that type. This is why Imposing Sovereign, Falkenrath Aristocrat, Brago, King Eternal are...

Custom cards are a fantastic answer to this problem.

If I open the 1/1 Ring, I'm either going to donate it to a Museum or throw it into a Volcano.

MaRo Teaser? MaRo Teaser. A couple notes: A little obvious but great to see, especially since we just had "50 Shades of Phyrexians: The Set!" The other is probably Knights. One of the Commander Decks is literally called "Cavalry Charge" Wrenn is probably partnering with either the Kaldheim...

Luckily the normal versions of the One Ring will be available literally everywhere because it's going to be the bundle promo in addition to being found in both regular booster packs and collector boosters. Honestly, it's nice that the scarcity in Magic is shifting from just "the cards in...

Yup. Unfortunately, no one plays brawl outside of Arena.

I think the chances of it being opened by a super casual player are fairly low since the 1/1 ring will only be in collector boosters which tend not to be purchased by people who know little about the game. Additionally, I think if you see a card written in Elvish with a big "001/001" on it...

Oh, I totally agree; it's like a combined total of less than half a card with no significant rules text is being treated as some bombshell reveal. Social media hype factory bad.

Bigger lore focus is good! The best part of Ixalan block (and the only reason I have a somewhat positive view of it retrospectively) was the story. The writing was good, and the character development was perfect. It was an all-around good story. When I compare Ixalan to the writing quality of...

I don't think turning Gingerbrute into Triton Shorestalker is breaking the balance meta, but it might have some serious ramifications for the meme-meta!

Oh you're right. That concept is significantly less exciting than I thought.

One of the Commander decks is going to be called Food and Fellowship. I think we're going to be getting at least some food goodies!

Is 9 mana not a sufficient cost to work around?

So I've been thinking about your post for the last couple of days. I love and fully agree with the overall point here that some cards enable specific play patterns beyond their reward, while other cards only contribute their reward to the deck. However, I've realized something in the process of...

I like what you're saying overall, but I think it could be expanded upon further. I think building a Cube can feel like building an EDH deck: you're trying to shape whatever you want the deck//Cube to be into a specific outcome. If I want a spells matter archetype in my Cube, I'm trying to...

Cube gameplay and deckbuilding tend to skew closer to constructed than limited because of the pre-determined and lower variance nature of the card pool, along with the design sensibilities of most Cube builders. In retail limited, players are forced to use what cards they get, even if they don't...

In singleton? I'm skeptical. In nonsingleton? Almost certainly.
