That mechanic has been pretty popular the entire time it's existed, I would argue that it's never too early to go back to it. Also fix your spoiler tag!

Throwing Cycling around as a rider leads to more interactive games and there's plenty of interesting design space based on triggers when you cycle. I don't think it would be crazy to have it as a frequent or even evergreen mechanic.

She doesnt really do anything else, in her case the whole design seems to be about doing a wacky proliferation thing/elderspell to ult her fast.

If cycling is back, and there's a big-CMC-matters ability, I bet there's spells with high CMC but cycling triggers. I really want to know what Mutate does.

I think Mutate will transmuting, but only creatures in play, and your mutate cost is also the CMC that you can mutate too, or maybe more likely minus 1 CMC. So like a 1/1 that costs one but Mutates for 6 can become any 5-CMC creature in your deck.

There were one or two test cards from the Mystery Booster set that introduced the idea of keyword counters

This is likely quite a bit more complicated than they would like at a mechanic that would probably be on commons on up. The amount of shuffling as well as the need of awareness of your deck as a toolbox has a lot more to it than they seem to be aiming for these days for new player accessibility. Combined with known aversion to anything but the most sparing tutor effects, prolly not gonna happen.

Minusing to kill a creature while looting is pretty good for a 4cmc walker. She's in the wrong colours for the Reanimator decks that could be really excited about it though.

Think of a big CMC trampler with cycling that gives another creature a "trample counter" when it cycles. It's been long enough since Amonkhet that they could have seen the success of putting punch-out counters in every pack and designed a set that leans on them more heavily.

The deck submission deadline for worlds was 2/5, Seth Manfield was lamenting on social media about having to submit decks for two different events on the same day (PT Phoenix and Worlds). Also is why some of the lists aren’t updated for the meta changes last weekend.

The answer is obvious. Wot needs 10 days at least to furiously manually test every potential deck interaction beforehand so the event doesn't get derailed by something unexpected.

I’m sure they do that, but also preparing the graphics for coverage and the web, preparing stuff for deck techs, making sure the coverage team is familiar with the decks / cards / etc. They also film some interviews with the players in advance where they’ll talk about their deck choice. Early deck submittal also leads to stale / old meta games, kinda like the MPL weekly stuff that was always 1-2 weeks behind the paper / online meta because everything was filmed well before it was aired

I mean, there is some interesting poo poo you can do with a post eldrazi world. Like, a plane that was brought to the brink of complete annihilation and then forced to rebuild can be an interesting setting. Its kind of the reason why Im excited for our next trip to Ravnica.

Eldrazi really weren’t front and center in Zendikar or Worldwake, Allies and lands, especially manlands were front and center, and it wasn’t until RoE they made an impact, and that set was completely disconnected as a draft format. I’m kind of bummed we won’t have landfall and fetches come back because I can’t see them including fetches/shocks in standard, which is too bad because as someone who never has to shuffle a physical deck, they’re both great.

MaRo has confirmed multiple times new Zendikar won’t have fetches. Zendikar was always the worst and most boring plane, the Eldrazi are the worst cards in the game, so maybe new Zendikar can be fun and have expeditions and cool vampire tribal stuff

Seems like a bad business decision to print a set where you immediately have to ban multiple rares in said set in at least one format, but I also don't know to what extent Pioneer has driven recent pack sales.

Sickening posted:Walking ballista is more expensive than polluted delta. You folks who hate fetches are loving weird. I don't hate fetches so much as I hate the constant shuffling they lead to. Of course if it's a digital version of Magic I could care less. I think my other objection to fetch lands is how loving expensive and rare they are compared to how mundane their effect is. Mana fixing is boring.

The Eldrazi were so loving oversaturated and the idea of doing them, or even just Zendikar again, when your last reference to New Phyrexia is an email from Eslpeth to Koth that just has multiple praetors dying as a footnote is astounding.
