It's shockingly playable and by that I mean there is a fringe Modern deck where it makes some kind of sense, though I'm not fully convinced it's the best choice even then. In Obash red the clunkyness early is countered by using it as pitch fodder for Fury and Seasoned Pyromancer and it provides inevitability against control or with a Bridge lock.

Sections 2&3 under Digging Deep, being willing to experiment and defaulting to playability, it’s hard to read those and not wonder what card will push out ragavan in 5-10 years, like how delver of secrets was a strong efficient creature and is now 1-drop slots 9-12 in delver, often cutting some/all. There’s lots of design space left in magic, but at some point they’re going to be printing goblin guides that draw you a card if the opponent reveals a land.

how am I supposed to read "everyone's been calling every change to magic the death of magic since 1993, universes beyond and bOoStEr FuN are nothing different because the players will create the game they want to play, and also you have to buy certain products if you want to stay competitive so gently caress you" except as a directed attack against me specifically?

KMC never had a QC issues all they have had are "Bezos is a mercenary fuckface who doesnt care if you buy inferior bootleg poo poo off his site" and "nobody in certain countries cares about fugazis" issues.

The only problems they have had since then is supply but who hasn't in the last year?

I was referring to variations in the length of the sleeves from one pack to the next which was a widely reported and real thing that I also found to be the case and I never bought them from Bezo.

Anyway. It's not an issue now.

I'd be really curious to see how sales go on the newest Capricorn Swamp secret lair. I just can't imagine anyone paying $52 out the door for 5 unremarkable foil swamps, especially not now when full art lands are released constantly.

The all black and white lands are the best because sometimes I'll watch someone playing mtgo and they don't realize they have swamps

if they want to do some real nice sets of, say, 40 copies of a special basic land for 80 bucks or whatever, I could see that being fine. but 160 for 20 very middling looking basics, lol

like I'd drop 150 for 20 of each bob ross basic, or something like that. they will never ever do that of course, but that's the sort of thing I'd jump in on if they wanted to do the "get enough basics to kit out a 60 card deck, maybe(if you put in other lands with them)!!!!" poo poo.

Just buy singles. As always. The competitive scene has always required serious competitive player to buy new cards, it's really nothing new.

Somehow I missed out that Double Feature is going to be priced as a premium product. So the black and white art is done lazily, instead of being a curated card list it's just two sets mashed together, and priced like MH2.

I know "MTG is dead" is a meme, but the cashgrabs have been getting more and more obvious in the last two years and at some point something's got to give. But who am I kidding, this set too will fly off the shelves.
