I was willing to swallow the price increase and the smaller box size and pick up a set box, but apparently the set boosters still have 15 cards instead of 20 like draft boosters, despite the larger count being the stated reason for fewer packs per box for CL1.

I'm referring to the seven published "Volo's Guide" books in the real world, as opposed to his much longer/larger bibliography in fiction.

Yeah there is a LOT hitting this year. I know the last couple of years have just been a firehose of releases, but I’m really wondering how many folks burn out on Magic in 2022 specifically because of all of this.

I skipped out on New Capenna cause of the new CL set, but gently caress my life, after the giant gently caress off price increase and way they're doing the new Masters set that's coming out AFTER the new Commander Legends I might skip out on this one too. It's too loving much, on top of Dominaria and Brother's War coming out.

Oh yeah on top of

Journal has Hexproof, so you can't target it for purchase.

Never mind how big of a pain it is for sellers to deal with something they can't label or examine or scan.

So this is our Summer 2022 set in lieu of a core set, right?

Except it's not coming to Standard or Explorer/Pioneer but IS coming to Alchemy/Historic.

And it will have a Mastery Pass replacing Kamigawa in a couple of months.

In Van Richten's defense, his son got killed by Vistani, and later on he would come to regret his earlier anti-Vistani racism.

That all sounds supremely lovely, this particularly had me reeling.

quote:

They claimed poor communication runs throughout the company, as evidenced by the fact that none of the workers of the Bellevue Mox Boarding House location have been told that the lease on their facility was not renewed, despite Ballard staff openly discussing it for months. They said this puts the jobs of everyone at Bellevue at risk, and thus they have a right to know.

Knowing for months that you weren't going to be renewing a lease on one of your stores and just not mentioning it, presumably up until the moment the store closes and they are laid off.

Not counting what's in this new set, there's currently FOUR gates that can go in this guy's commander deck so if there aren't a lot of new ones, good luck triggering that ability lol.

Yeah, I was looking forward to building her, but if I can't turn it into a Maze's End commander deck, I don't think she's going to be worth running instead of, like, Kennrith or 4c Omnath.

Given that Nine-Fingers will be able to run:

Dimir, Golgari, and Simir Guild Gates
Gateway Plaza
The 3 color + choice Gates from CL:BG (the not Cliff and Citadel ones)
Baldur's Gate itself

That's only 8.

Adding in Vesuva, Thespian's Stage, Sakashima's Protege, Replication Technique, Mirage Mirror, and Orvar, you have a deck that's still too much effort to make work for what should be a fun theme, and still won't trigger Maze's End because some will have the same names.

There are 9 named gates in Baldur's Gate so there should be three more we don't know about yet, presumably it's not another cycle so all 3 will probably be in its colour identity
