Yeah all the TSP ones except maybe RB saw pretty heavy standard play and I feel like I've seen Reef in Modern before, although it was probably incorrect

I hope for some new type of fetch-thing like either

{T}, Pay 1 life, Sacrifice LAND: Reveal cards from the top of your library until you reveal an Island or Swamp card, put it onto the battlefield, then put all revealed cards at the bottom of your library in a random order.

or

{T}, Sacrifice LAND: Search your library for an Island card, put it onto the battlefield, then shuffle your library. Each opponent gains 1 life.

{T}, Exile LAND: Create a basic Island or Swamp token.

Unless you want those lands taking up sideboard slots, I think they'd have to update the rules

The UB one sees play in Ad Nauseam, yeah. I don't think I've ever seen any others though. They're mostly commander cards.

Magic: Phone edition

quote:

That makes it fitting for a mobile card game that is not trying to recreate the physical card game (and thus won’t be confused with Arena), but instead looks like it will be very much its own unique thing: As Wizards puts it, “quick, competitive, and casual 1v1 battles that can be played anytime, anywhere."

E:

“This game offers a new take on mobile CCGs by combining opportunistic bluffing and counterplay that delivers unparalleled depth and strategy with true mobile accessibility," McAuliffe said. “Vertical gameplay allows for one-handed use for an even more unique experience in the genre."

If it's fun and less of a hellgrind than Arena or Duel Links, I'll try it.

Considering this is WotC though, it'll probably be rear end. I'm not saying this to be negative though, just trying not to get my hopes up.

Nice Eternal re-skin.

If you're drafting GRN on Arena be prepared for lots and lots of mill and/or high alert decks, because I guess people are bored of the normal archetypes and want to mess around with gimmicky stuff. I played 3 of the former, 2 of the later, and 2 decks that were some ungodly combination of the two today. Most of them are very bad, but they drag the games out interminably.

I haven't seen much of that yet. I see a lot of people trying to play 4-5 colors though. Sometimes it's the "gate deck" which is sometimes a real thing, other times it's just someone who tried to get cute and/or drafted a mess.

High Alert is in Allegiance, not Guilds. Also High Alert is a pretty decent archetype in draft, especially if you can pull a Tower Defense

This except I almost always manage to get only half of things I want for the deck. Slamming two Colossus in a row was pretty sweet, though.

I have barely seen any mono decks, just Esper and Sultai, with Izzet / Grixis every now and then.

Are you in Bo1 or Bo3, and what rank? Platinum Bo3 is endless amounts of grixis and esper control and the occasional sultai midrange with the occasional mono blue deck.

Thanks! We will need to take a break from the interviews for awhile but they have been fun. The community seems to like the content and we like making it so win win! Besides the whole "not profitable" thing.
