Kalsco posted:Is the story spotlight thing new to this set? It seems like a decent enough formalization of those story beat cards they seem to love. I hope it means they don't try cramming the Jacetice League into every other card. Kaladesh introduced it.

Let's face it, Jace is going to be on every counterspell they print from now until forever.

"Gods among the people, wow, that's such a cool idea. So inspiring, we've never seen this before!" It really seems like they wanted to go back to Theros then decided "oh poo poo Theros sucked let's do Egypt!"

They've had the idea of doing an egypt set for basically ever.Rinkles posted:Kaladesh introduced it. I know it's been around for two sets but I've yet to actually notice it when I'm looking at the cards in draft or whatever.

GonSmithe posted:"Gods among the people, wow, that's such a cool idea. So inspiring, we've never seen this before!" One of the reasons I'm more tolerant of the dumb overbranding of putting Bolas's horns on every loving thing is it keeps this set from feeling like a palette-swapped Theros a little bit.

lol that Renewed Faith is an uncommon. Looks completely unplayable unless there's some real good build-arounds that care about cycling. (fingers crossed that there are)

More interesting is how her eyes are silver in the left picture, and remarked upon as silver in the story yesterday, and green in the other. Could be some mood thing.

Count Bleck posted:I don't know why black people in an Egyptian setting is surprising. If we're going to be historically pedantic it's at least not clear that most ancient Egyptians were black; for instance, Ramses II was a redhead. Also this discussion is dumb since we're talking about a fictional world and wotc can do whatever they want. Also this Renewed Faith reprint better come with its good friend Astral Slide.

If you keep track of the people who actually hold ignorant views that post itt you can avoid all the shrieking/pearl clutching when someone just makes a bad/goony post. Side note: if im the one explaining how to be chill and let small/accidental shite slide, you have really hosed up

The interesting this is that we already have two different hosers. They aren't really hosing anything relevant in Standard but still.

Going back to mindcensor for a bit, remember that this set was originally planned to not be in the same standard as BFZ. So it's totally possible that it originally had fetchlands and mindcensor was supposed to be a foil to those.
