It also made a significant percentage of cards in Prophecy worse but they're cards in Prophecy so they had it coming Power Sink and Piracy are other cards that come to mind that were better when mana burn was still a thing. Land destruction could go after untapped lands without penalty because tapping to add mana in response would usually deal mana burn damage, but I don't really think it's an issue anyway.

Lone Goat posted:https://twitter.com/maro254/status/270246028937138176 And Gideon is from not-Greece, which isn't exactly the same as, say, Sweden-white. He does indeed not look particularly pale, but I'm getting more Roman Reigns than Mediterranean, at a glance. The only Liliana that seem not-white to me (not that I'm any expert) is the Nielsen art for Vess, where it's not 200% clear where the dark energy ends and the darker skin tone begins. Nothing like that on Defiant Necromancer, or in The Last Hope.

The actual rule that allows you to do the split card poo poo was stupid, but the gameplay wasn't all that broken. I feel like they should have tried to preserve it.

Seems like a great change and simple rule to help reduce confusion. I remember similar wailing and gnashing of teeth when they removed damage on the stack which affected many more cards but also made the game so much smoother and more intuitive. Beck/Call was never designed to work that way, I think people understanding how these spells work in standard for the next two years is worth way more than a few janky modern combos.

It's like how transformed dudes used to have a CMC of 0, they found a piece of rules that they didn't like and took the opportunity to get rid of it. E: It's also actually relevant to upcoming standard, since the Expertises will be in Standard with Aftermath.

Card says you can cast a card cmc 3 or less. One of the little card pics is less than 3 and the card says you can cast one or both halves from your hand. Seems pretty simple.

Yeah, it's basically the same thing. It makes the game less deep but more clear. For experencied player is a 1-2% loss. For a new player is a 10-20% gain.
