flatluigi posted:i agree but apparently people have wanted enemy colored elder dragons for EVER And 1 Elder Demon, which is really funny given Belzenlok's whole thing being him talking himself up as the coolest and biggest deal ever. So I guess now we wait for a wedge of elder dragons.

It'd actually be pretty cool if MH sets continued a multiversal elder giant cycle, in the same way it's finishing (I assume) the sword cycle. Like there's elder giants hiding in every plane waiting to escape.

President Ark posted:goons be like "unless a card is strictly better in every way than a card in a currently-extant modern deck it's trash and worthless. there's no such thing as 'new decks'" Dumb strawmen aside, that is kinda how it works in the last block before rotation. Especially when the environment already has a crazy, absurdly good cards.

I do like that it seems like theyre pivoting back to cards that require building around to create win states rather than poo poo like Uro where it just wins the game on its own or cards so universally good like Bonecrusher Giant that both aggro, midrange and control decks run it because its just plain BIS for 3cmc Of course, none of that matters for another 5 months until rotation, and the Drizzt Do'Urden 2GW legendary could make a fool of this prediction when it drains target opponent for 10 on etb

Like there's elder giants hiding in every plane waiting to escape. Unfortunately the Titans were a direct reference to Greek (and therefore Theros) mythology. But not the actual titans from Greek lore, because Uro is Typhon who was the child of Gaia and Tartarus, and was defeated by Zeus and trapped under a mountain. But also wikipedia posted:Typhon bears a close resemblance to an older generation of descendants of Gaia, the Giants.[163] They, like their younger brother Typhon after them, challenged Zeus for supremacy of the cosmos,[164] were (in later representations) shown as snake-footed,[165] and end up buried under volcanos.[166]

In that design will think of them a little differently, yes. A Red card with blue and green added in vs a blue card with red and green added. Wit
