Gitaxias wore a robe in his original art too. He just changed it for one with a local design.

I worked out it's probably actually a Hakama not a Robe, which is more "traditionally" Japanese.

You're not wrong but I still think it's a funny idea that Jin-Gitaxias has become a weeb.

I think adding local clothes is an interesting touch to remember that the Praetors are not "just" inhuman monster machines.

It manufactures its own pilots though. Also, with Crew 8, it requires at least three of them which is the minimum size for a sentai squad.

Therefore, it is a sentai robot. :colbert:

Standard BO1 is fairly slanted towards white but there's some decent diversity there with aggro mono-W, Orzhov, Selesnya. There's other decks that work well and I'm playing against a fairly diverse set of decks with no singular meta-warping card. At the bottom of Platinum 1 right now so grain of salt maybe.

The control decks are pretty drat annoying though! But what else is new?

I'd be pretty happy if it were "Alchemy Historic" and "Everything Legal in Pioneer Currently in Arena"

I very much believe that the solution to most of arena's shittness is "make standard good'........ obviously that is easier said than done.

This right here is exactly the kind of nonsense I expect from Kamigawa.

I just want to point out the B in the cost and the UG hybrid in the ability. I wonder what lands are gonna be like in this set, since I feel like aside from the MDFC lands mana sorta sucks right now.

Just don't look at the alt art he uses for his islands.


Since body modification is a thing in the set, i wonder phryexian tech is going to be at the heart of it. Gin was the big perfection through augmentation guy, right? Vorinclex was perfection through Survival of the Fittest, Sheoldred sought it through necromancy and Elesh through purification.
