All members of the old Weatherlight crew have at least one card

Not all Weatherlight saga characters do, though, although I'm not sure where the line is that makes a character worth putting on a card. For example, I don't think Belbe or Takara have cards, but I'm also not sure how many people would react if they were made.

Sorry, I forgot to mention he said the characters on the new cards both already have cards.

This + homeward path is a tap 2 to draw 2 cards and play 2 lands? Seems pretty nifty, politics aside.

For Homeward Path specifically to work you'd need to animate the pendant first somehow. :v:

The Sunken Hollow/Cinder Glade/etc. were staples of their Standard environment, and Cinder Glade sees Modern play in Titanshift specifically as another RG dual with the actual Mountain subtype, but that's about it.

In Standard, you play the duals you have, not the duals you want.

In other formats, not really. If your deck can afford enough basics that they'll actually come into play untapped, your deck can also afford to just play the good duals and not have to stretch that far.

I'll stick to fast and checks until I can round out shocks and fetches then.

Why did GW get a filter land in that image when the others got slow lands?

It includes a handful of budget rare lands, which is an improvement over last year’s release. Nothing pricey, but beats taplands.

Frankly this is better than printing 2-3 busted commanders every year like they were on a streak of before.

My best guess is the same reason they make the planeswalker decks lovely, they don't want secondary market types swooping up supply from the intended audience.

Dang so this is like looking over his shoulder in real-time
Grimey Drawer

I know people are bashing this for not being powerful, but this is - mostly - a good selection of cards that many players' LGSes might not have in stock. If I wanted a Nantuko Vigilante, I'd have to dig through the tower of drawers of commons, and the last Den Protector the store had was sold for the $8 it was worth when it was last played in Standard so I'd be out of luck there. Except for Sakura-Tribe Elder which is a great card but doesn't really belong, and Great Oak Guardian which doesn't fit the theme at all, the remaining twenty creatures in the deck would all make the cut if I were designing the deck from scratch.

The non-morph/megamorph/manifest related cards though (aside from Sol Ring and some ramp) are just bad and I'd replace them right away. The manabase is decent for casuals but Command Tower is one of the few I'd actually keep. Still though, there's about 30 important non-land cards in there, not a bad start for a morph deck.

if it's like silence, it doesn't work that way: spells cast before you cast it, and in response to you casting it, are already "cast" and not affected

Not just cast! It stops stuff like a Najeela activation and so on as well.

This is, I think, unprecedented, so maybe? But odds are strong anything cast during combat is some kind of trick so they're not getting the benefit from it regardless.
