Seems as if the Arthurian legend theme is really resonating.

Lord_Magmar posted:Pity it's an un-set mechanic because Last Strike would definitely fit the Green Knight as a flavour thing. Just have it say "creatures blocking or blocked by Green Knight get first strike". That's effectively last strike, only issue is if it hits a planeswalker or player but first strike generally doesn't matter there. Didn't Lancelot gently caress Gweniverie and then get executed for it? Would be quite a sight to see a card about that

fatherboxx posted:So the next set should all be 9/11, Trump and guns references At least people have heard of those things. What I'm saying is that Arthurian legend is obscure outside of the UK and maybe France. Your average mass media consuming nerd might know that Lancelot was one of the Knights of the Round Table, but nothing else. No one's going to understand a card that's a reference to the Green Knight.

Star Man posted:At least people have heard of those things. Sure, except I'm Australian and you don't need to know the reference for a card to be good. The Green Knight could be a good legendary and a good reference without the people even recognising the second part. The reference just becomes something people who do know the reference can share with those who do not.

nrook posted:It kind of reminds me of Kamigawa actually, where Wizards created a Japanese mythology set only to later discover everyone just wanted anime land. This keeps getting repeated on SA, and it isn't even true. Granted, I was on hiatus from the game during that period, but all my friends just bitched about Jitte. Watch, in 5 years, everyone will be saying people rejected the Arthurian part of Eldraine because it wasn't filled with Saber-face. >_>

I love the chivalric romances, but if they actually leaned into it we'd just have Lorwyn all over again. "what the gently caress is a girdle?"

When everyone says nobody knows anything about Arthur my first reaction is 'What about that Sean Connery movie?' but I guess a lot of Magic players weren't even alive when it came out.teddust posted:I don't doubt that some people didn't really like the weird art and flavor with the Kami, but underpowered set that sells like poo poo after a broken one is about as fundamental to magic as a 2/2 for 2 mana. Apparently it tested poorly on basically every metric, from flavor to mechanics. When they want to do not-Japan again, they should probably just start over.

Star Man posted:At least people have heard of those things. Yeah I’m sure all the mtg geeks had a deep understanding of Greek lore before Theros and knew what a caryatid, crocota, or eidolon was. People know enough to get the theme going and they can learn more through the cards. Personally I’m just interested in seeing how WOTC tackles the healing of sir Urry in such a set. I’m sure it’ll be hamfisted and generic and not get the point but I’m still interested.

the kamigawa problem was partially mechanical and partially flavor. I mean ninjutsu is an all-time cool mechanic and there was plenty of power in Betrayers, but soulshift and splice are really parasitic, Bushido encourages swinging past each other, and channel, sweep, and offering barely exist at all. Also, “have lots of cards in your hand” as a theme is miserable. Plus they made lots of legendaries because that was the theme but made them all have extremely weird, narrow abilities because that was how legendaries usually worked back then.

Plus there was that Merlin series. Plenty of Arthurian stuff still gets made for pop culture. Americans just don't get into Arthurian Legend. Or most fantasy stuff at all, really. Lotr and Harry Potter were odd exceptions

Like the Sheriff of Nottingham's guards had ye old timey riot shields and poo poo.
