"Tamiyo," Jace inquired, "Vraska isn't doing it for me any more. I need to gently caress a real snake, and I was hoping you could help."

I was going to joke about "Jace fucks the moon," but even odds that happens next time they come back to Innistrad.

Working towards Pioneer is great.

The selected reprints in Historic thing would be super cool if they used it as the way to moderate the format instead of bannings, but random cards they like is dumb. At this point I'm only interested if other people tell me it's really good, and even then I'm leery they'd gently caress it up immediately.

yeah it seems split between actually good cards and things that are just kind of useless? Like oh god hypnotic spectre but also did anyone ever actually play the Hidetsugu spell outside of Kamigawa block?

I don't understand why they don't just copy the cards they had from Duels of the Planeswalkers into arena. That way they could have Pioneer in Arena in a matter of a few weeks.

It has nothing to do with difficulty in implementing the cards, hth.

Making basically all of the historic cards completely psycho AND not even Pioneer legal in most of the cases is truly A+ poo poo and my favourite genre of WotC gently caress-up: one that is very funny, but also not really a big deal.

It might be overwhelming to new players/game journalists to suddenly have 7 years worth of cards to play with/against.

If pioneer is coming to MTGA I can’t think of a good reason for Historic to exist except as a kind of weird semi-curated cube. What a completely bizarre situation.

Pioneer will take a LOOOOOONG time to rollout to Arena. Historic will be a Stopgap measure until it’s done, and then it will be gone forever

There's even precedent for this; there was a mtgo-only format called classic until they finished implementing all the old sets.

Or it will remain, as a goofy Pioneer variant that has random Modern cards in it

pretentious fuckwit who isn't half as literate or insightful or clever as he thinks he is
historic is basically 'legacy is a fool's errand and modern is bad so we're going to make a new experimental format where we can ban and unban whatever we like whenever we like and see what happens'

gotta have a format where veil of summer is legal, i guess

Extract 4x 3400 gems per year from players until pioneer supplants historic as the chosen non-rotating format until Modern 2 Fetch 2 Furious is deployed on Arena

Assuming it lasts that long I guess

Then it was quiet again. Oko had taken his shirt off and was pouring food on his chest, to facilitate the elking process. “What the hell are you yelling about?” he muttered, staring up at the sun with his eyes closed and covered with wraparound sunglasses of Urza. “Never mind,” I said. “It’s your turn to drive.” I reined in the elk and aimed the enchanted carriage toward the Fabled Passage. No point mentioning those bats, I thought. The poor bastard will see them soon enough.
