Sinteres posted:It's insane how complicated Magic releases are these days. I like this idea in principle. They talk about draft boosters being about the draft experience, and set boosters being for opening. I'd even be happy if they had standard legal cards that they leave out of the draft boosters when it improves the game play. Leave things that only have constructed application out of the draft packs. Modern sideboard plants and the like. The two problems I'd see would be when this leaves out financially desirable cards (since a fetchland adds very little to a draft deck) and also the need to clearly communicate "this new card is standard legal, but this one is not".

Zauper posted:It's pretty obnoxious. It's probably not BROKEN, Ok, I mean this is reassuring to hear; that I'm not taking crazy pills here. This is my take too. It 'probably' isn't actually broken, but I don't really know what to do, considering that I'm playing control already, with gy hate and some counterspells, and ... I dunno it just feels like that should be enough? But I haven't had a fair game against it yet.

They demand we consume Web Fiction to learn it!

At this point I don't think I'd be surprised if that was the case. I do like the scratch-off idea, though.

So the Walkers in the set seem to be Chandra, Wren and Ral Zarrek? I wonder if Chandra will be Rakdos to keep up the multicolored walker thing going on. Edit: oh and Arlin. I don't know if they're willing to go too heavy in a color for Walkers but all the foreign Walkers getting a splash of black to represent the corrupting influence of Innistrad would be cool.

!Klams posted:That new retrace cascade card, Throes of Chaos in the historic Tibalts Trickery decks seems like utter bullshit? TOTALLY appreciate though that whenever anyone ever says that about magic, 99.9% of the time they're just bitching about their own personal experience and not really the holistic health of the situation. More than happy to hear "Eh, it whiffs a lot more than you think" or whatever. The last time I felt like this was about Oko, though. Thalia slows it down by at least 2 turns, and if they go for it as a 6 mana play they risk not being able to cast a non-creature spell if that's what they hit.

Remembering what's in any set's given draft/set/collector booster is a headache, but as someone who just grabbed a bunch of singles for some decks, I love it all. Staples and some cards are still stupid expensive, but wowie can you get some good stuff for 25c while the foil borderless etched full frontal nudity fancy frame version sits happy at $25. Shine on Wizards, stay the course.

Base game pieces have never been cheaper. poo poo on "Booster Fun" all you want, but it's actually making the game more accessible. Not to say the game is accessible, but it's getting closer
