ACTUALLY IT IS VERY GOOD THAT THE SHOW IS BAD AND ANYONE WHO DOESN'T REALIZE WHY THAT'S GOOD IS AN IDIOT. JUST ENJOY THE BAD SHOW INSTEAD OF THINKING.

Because typed duals are apparently confusing to the player base so they avoid them outside of printing stuff specifically designed for constructed purposes.

I personally think the number of variants on dual lands is tiring as gently caress and wish that Shocklands would just be legal all of the time because its the most elegant implementation.

Pyromancer's Assault completes the vertical cycle between Lightning Rift, Burning Vengeance and Pyroconvergence/Knowledge and Power. Could be OK depending on what support there is for the surge deck. It's definitely not the best version of this card we've seen but also not the worst. You can proc it the turn you play it like with Jori.

Boulder Salvo looks like good support for the deck incidentally, so far it looks like it will kill most of OGW at a very reasonable price if you can proc the surge.

They'll reprint ponder, preordain, and brainstorm at common, obviously.

And surge would still be too weak based on the cards we currently know about.

The last one is actually true. When everyone has access to all the tools they will ever need, the answer to any given situation will generally boil down to 'use the correct tool'. It's when people have limited access to the toolbox that they have to start coming up with more inventive solutions to their problems.

From today's MaRo article posted:

Mechanically, I thought we could make a cycle of Oath cards that would represent who exactly was joining the team. This would also help in the future as other Planeswalkers joined the Gatewatch.

It's a literal Planeswalker Justice League.

Just ban it, blood moon is dumb. It's why I play 3 main board in one of my modern decks. Because gently caress you, that's why.
