Lone Goat posted:maro fuckin haaaaaaaates Mentor of the Meek because he thinks white shouldn't get to draw cards ever, google Draw conditioned on playing weenies seems on color and pretty fair, it's way better than that horrible "everyone draws" crap they tried. And they put the once a turn safety valve on it so I don't see the big deal. Re:blood tokens, I'm guessing there won't be a blood deck like there was a food deck. Their value is basically in cycling away excess lands, which isn't nothing but any blood generation in standard is probably going to be incidental from a card that's already good enough without blood. Or a minor theme in a vampire deck if one ends up being legit.

That Odric card just screams “we have no idea what kind of identity to give RW besides aggro and equipment (????)!!!!” It’s a shame the graveyard thing didn’t really work in Strixhaven for Boros colors because it was at least another direction to take the color pair. Oh well.

It's hilarious they didn't even bother giving him any of those abilities, so unless you have other creatures he comes down as a vanilla 3/3. idk, maybe blood will prove super powerful tho.

I played paper Magic a lot back in 2000-2005 or so then just recently (5-6 months ago) got into playing on Arena. Somehow I've never paid any attention to the "lore" of Magic but y'all talking about these characters makes me interested. Is there anything actually worth reading? I can't shake this feeling that it is all likely poo poo but I don't know as I do love the game.

Maybe Odric will be like that king card from Conspiracy where it's like "Oops nevermind, Kaya mercked him and he's actually a zombie."
