patriarchy sucks
Did they say how big the new core sets are gonna be? I wouldn't be surprised if they're smaller than the normal large sets.

I never thought I'd say this but...

That's an announcement I pretty much like. Curious about the new Masters set. And I've got a gut feeling that we're gonna see some great looking lands in Unstable

So hype for a new Dominaria and Un-set. Curious to see what the 25th anniversary Masters set will be like as well.

Dual deck Merfolk vs Goblins should be uh.... interesting? poo poo they could print basically a budget modern Merfolk deck and a budget modern goblin deck if they wanted to.

Gotta wait months for the stuff I'm really excited for, although I can't wait for Unstable and hope it's actually a fun Un-set to draft this time.

The set's just called "Dominaria", that's dope.

They brought back Richard Garfield for it too, he hasn't worked on a set since Innistrad.

Except that with the reprintings of Goblin Guide and Cavern of Souls, Goblins has become pretty budget friendly lately.

Magic's having a good week for announcements. Next year should be pretty cool for the game.

Also looking forward to getting a bunch of cool new Un-lands this winter.

Unstable should have banned cards as masterworks. Give them a red frame with a line through it.

Behold the Bull of Heaven!
Vraska is back, and she's now a gorgon pirate lady? Cool.
She's also fighting against natives that ride dinosaurs? Also cool.
New Un-set? Sure, sounds like it will be fun for about a few hours, which is ultimately all that un-sets are good for.
Masters 25 next year? We'll see. Could be sweet, could be meh.
FTV: Jace and a bunch of cards nobody cares about? Meh. What else even costs anything?

Return to Dominaria? gently caress YESS, IT'S HAPPENING BITCHES! WE'RE GOING BACK HOME!


All in all - good announcement day!

The next duel deck is Merfolk vs. Goblins. It's gonna be like playing Legacy in 2009 again.

...I should also get on acquiring the cards for Merfolk before Ixalan spoilers drop, because there's no way that merfolk aren't in the set.

Jace, Liliana, Delver of Secrets, Huntmaster of the Fells, Garruk Relentless, and Archangel Avacyn are all I can think of that would be noteworthy cards. Unless they do something radical and make Kamigawa flip cards double-sided.

Both the core set and Dominiaria are 269 card sets, in case anybody was wondering about bloat in Standard.

FTV: Transform doesn't make sense because there aren't enough iconic transform cards in the game to fill a FTV...

Which means that they're going to errata flip cards into transform, and possibly do what they did with FTV Dragons and print a card from the upcoming set...

Which means they are indirectly confirming Return to Kamigawa in fall of 2018! :kheldragar:


EDIT: The FTV is later this year and not in summer of 2018 like I thought, so this is probably wrong.
