    I honestly don't think {B/G} can support Pact in his cube with only four options that (on average) won't all be in the draft (remember his cube is 500 cards big), and that you're fighting over with other green drafters. You really want at least 3 ways to get rid of Pact, provided you have...

    People have been building around it in my cube, and it's been good. More importantly though, it's been fun! Edit: be sure to include enough generic bounce in blue, a Kor Skyfisher/Flickerwisp effect or two in white, and enough enchantment removal in white and green. I think you need around...

    Oh man, now I wish they did another Planar Chaos-style set with a bunch of alternate timeline colorshifted reprints!

    I don't know who here has an SCG premium account (I don't), but last weekend was pretty big for Dominic: http://www.starcitygames.com/articles/38398_Whir-Prison-Is-Moderns-Newest-Torture-Device.html :)

    We've never seen Teyo Verada and Davriel on a card before either. I'm excited to see what they make of those characters mechanically, despite my misgivings about so many planeswalkers in one set. Also, Sorin escaped from his stony prison? And Nahiri is on Ravnica too? He maaaaaaad! This...

    https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/feature/closer-look-stained-glass-planeswalkers-2019-03-08 Oh no... Every prerelease card pool will have 7 planeswalkers... What could go wrong?

    Can I do a Yawgmoth planeswalker prediction based off of Serra? + ability: Culling the Weak/Phyrexian Tower effect - ability: Corrupt ultimate: (permanent?) Yagmoth's Will

    This one was (these five were?) great!

    General [WAR] War of the Spark

    Yeah, I agree it's the most likely scenario. MaRo has stated before that planeswalker design space is much narrower than you would think, so it would be really weird for them to go ham and print 36 new walkers in one set (WotC confirmed that each of the 36 stained glass windows is showing a...

    General [WAR] War of the Spark

    That sounds like a reasonable solution. Either that or they would have to do some serious downgrading on the power level of planeswalkers in this to avoid standard becoming a mess. Maybe walkers with only minus abilities, so they're effectively charms-like cards. You know, something like...

    There's a foil planeswalker in every prerelease pack, source. I could do a sarcastic "yay" if anybody wants me to? I mean, I do like some of the planeswalkers, but I think most of them don't make for very fun limited games... I've been cutting more and more planeswalkers from my cube, to the...

    Ascension: Chronicles of the Godslayer might be a good starting place? The cost of a card would be the cost to acquire it, the aim of the game can still be to get your opponent from 20 to 0, creatures are the monsters, other cards types go into your deck. Include spells that kill or deal damage...

    I'm guessing that's what they meant with the "(254 total)", i.e. the five basic lands are the only cards in the set that are not new to modern.

    I don't ever play modern, but the folks here who do seem to like it plenty.

    Oh yeah, I would love it, but they're not truly useful for Modern :)

    Anyone want to make some (re)print predictions? either Fireblast or Chain Lightning Oubliette the full 10 card Grasslands cycle (imagine that, 10 budget fetchlands, aren't you glad now Modern players? aren't you glad?!!!)

    Oh, I know. But I run (for real) Personal Tutor I like my tutors to be at the "decent enough, I guess" level, a line Mystical Tutor definitely crosses. Personal Tutor is useful enough in certain decks (combo, spells matter, to a lesser extent control (it does find you that Wrath effect after...

    I'm referring to Play Design, which is the team currently responsible solely for testing sets with a competitive mindset, i.e. their only purpose is to keep game wrecking stuff out of Standard (and now Modern, I presume). The Felidar Sovereign combo was actually the direct reason to form this...

    Also... Serra Aviary Serra Angel Worship That's pretty neat :) (PS. Does anybody know of a way to get a specific printing of a card? Cause this is the Worship I was looking for! Apparently the c-tag works differently from the ci-tag?)
