This isn't a hot take, it's a fact.

Also everyone has different lands from the commander lands that are good. I like Mark Poole's swamp and plains and Kev Walker's mountain.

I have a few cards signed by him in 2011.

His name seems to be misspelled on cards printed in Alpha, Beta, and Unlimited, because it's spelled "Shuler" on the Arabian Nights edition of Mountain and anything after that.

White border, the word tap, misspelled artists name, artist signature. People are going to hate them, I've never been so excited!

Maybe I can use the black border perfect fits on those, and white border perfect fits for all my other cards.

Play a white border fetch, to fetch a black border basic, to cast a white border judge-foil Noble Hierarch.

If this is true then we likely won't see another Un-set after this (except for maybe after another dozen years).

Ultimately, WotC/Hasbro is in the business of making money. Un-sets don't do that, because once everyone gets over the novelty of drafting a funky format, and after your LGS has their one or two novelty Un-set Format FNMs, no more product moves because nothing is there to drive product sales. Unhinged was fortunate to have black-bordered full-frame full-art basics, which still didn't move packs enough to make it seem worth it.

There will absolutely be something included in the set to help drive sales - even if it's just "Full Art Land in every pack."

This won't happen, but a few years ago I thought "Hey, if there was another Un-set they could put silver-bordered Chaos Orb into it as a mythic— the reserved list only stipulates cards on it can't be reprinted in black borders, and Chaos Orb isn't actually legal in any formats anyway." I also thought they could put one card into it with a special border that meant it that was not only standard legal, but legal in all standards until the end of time. I fully realise these are really terrible ideas.

I have a single Unglued Mountain in my RG Breach deck and I always get compliments on it when I manage to get it into play. I feel like I have one or two other Unglued basics but I have no idea where they are.

HIGH FIVE! I'M GAY TOO!!!!!!
Since the new unset probably won't be online, I probably won't draft it more than a couple times. Just as someone who thinks Magic is cool, I'm sad there isn't room for a creative set project that maybe doesn't sell well. In my experience it's a critical part of keeping your employees happy and well balanced to allow them room for creative exploration. And giving Mark Rosewater an unset as part of a seven year sabbatical seems perfect for this.

It would not make sense to shutter magic duels if it was actually a replacement for mtgo. It's going to be more in the duels category.

Given their track record, my honest guess would be between five and ten percent. It will be a hearthstonized duels that will pay lip service to being a serious choice for competitive players and will be missing a lot of polish.

It's going to suck. There has never been a good Magic digital product. Even gatherer's comment section has been broken for 5+ years.

Anyone remember the official deck builder/life counter for your phone that would crash and not save any of your changes if you got a call while using it?

If they were sensible,they'd be unveiling Magical Digital Next as a replacement for Duels, with the intention of stress testing it there and using the same platform to replace MTGO some time later.
