Creative Spark seems fun, but I just wish that millstone cost 1, and didn't bother with that second ability. E: also strictly worse bonesplitter is bad. But probably still good in limited.

i looked at that and somehow missed the one mana on the cost and thought they just printed the best mana rock ever.

The format seems a lot more powerful than most normal limited formats, so maybe it's possible to punish someone for spending three mana to make 1/1. If the board ever stalls out with that card in play though, good night.

Ovine Pasture looks pretty strong as a one or two-of in wide creature decks. Definitely going to try it in my cryptolith rite deck.

Oviya is neat in limited, but I don't see her having any use in constructed formats. She's almost always worse than Rhys as a commander, too, because mono-green doesn't have a way to take advantage of the tokens being also artifacts. If she was an elf, I could maybe see her going somewhere, but even then. Fajita Queen fucked around with this message at 17:14 on Sep 14, 2016 |

So I was talking to a friend recently who's played a bit of Magic about how, in recent years, design trends have focused on creature-centric midrange decks at the expense of the broader aggro/combo/control ecosystem that used to inform most metagames. He had kinda a hard time understanding why that narrowing was a bad thing, given that, in his words, creatures are "the most charismatic part of the game" The best analogy I could come up with on the spot was if like, you had an MMO or a MOBA or a tactical tabletop game with well-defined character roles and the developers decided they were going to phase out tanks and support and have everyone be various shades of DPS, because DPS was the most exciting and popular role. Which isn't a bad thing on its own, and games like Diablo certainly show there's a niche for "everyone's some kind of DPS, now click a million demons", but it's definitely a much different experience and one that's going to frustrate people that really did enjoy playing healers, or even ones that enjoyed playing DPS in the specific context of "I know it's my tank's job to peel for me, so I know it's my job to position myself smartly and let him do that" Since it seems like folks here are broadly sympathetic to the idea of "it sucks that Bant Company is literally 100% of Magic nowadays", how would you guys go about explaining that to someone whose perspective on Magic is mostly "right, but smashing big, easy-to-cast creatures into each other is really cool"?

He had kinda a hard time understanding why that narrowing was a bad thing, given that, in his words, creatures are "the most charismatic part of the game" Checkers is a fine game on its own. It has one kind of piece and it does the same thing every time. Chess is also a fine game on its own. It has different pieces with different roles. You can have a game go from one to another, but the transition's going to be painful and people who've played Chess are going to want to keep on playing chess. However, they can easily argue that they already have all the tools to play chess so there's no need to complain that it turned into checkers. But, we've been groomed for over 20 years now to play chess and people are going to complain anyway, no matter how true that statement is. (i.e. just play legacy/modern if you want the old feel of the game, but the continued and expected systematic release of sets and new cards for even those old formats is a groomed mentality that WOTC marketing is very good at doing)
