I'm kind of amazed at how much of a failure SNC is as a three color format. WOTC has experience making formats three color and encouraging that, and yet being a three or more color deck is so obviously a detriment in this format, surely WOTC was aware of that? The limited format gets play tested, at least somewhat, and that would have been borne out in the testing right?

Color balance is one thing, but completely missing the mark in terms of being a guild vs. three color format is kind of unforgivable, no?

Unforgivable lol. It was a bad limited set, they didn’t run you over with a car.

"New evergreen counter"--I think every evergreen keyword already has a counter, so I'm guessing this is either a new evergreen keyword that's also getting a counter, or a new counter that does something else? A counter that makes a permanent legendary, for instance (see: “As long as enchanted creature is legendary”)?

I see where you're coming from but its "freelance muscle" and that looks like a loving gun. Even if not intended, I don't think you could call someone unreasonable for reading it as "gun"

Sure, but we know it's not though because it's Magic and guns aren't really allowed.
Arc throwers? Spell shooters? Sure, but actual guns that shoot bullets have been bared from the art style. its one of the reasons Goblin Sharpshooter is so special.
And of course the universes beyond (lol at making 40k without guns)

E:Also during the SNC reveal they said there wouldn't be guns (and played up how cool they thought FInger Guns were, like in arcane bombardment)

Ability word that wasn't originally an Ability word is either threshold or domain, probably domain.

Edit: it could also be imprint.

Could also be something to do with compleation/becoming phyrexian. Maybe grants Infect if poison is back?

Conversely could be an keyword ability counter that they didn't use in Ikoria like uhhhh, Prowess?

Also, Amazon has a listing up for a set called "Dominaria Remastered" that's release is scheduled for January.

No idea if Dom Remastered is going to be something like Double Feature - just slamming Dom United and Brother's War together. Or if it's a more ambitious undertaking like Time Spiral Remastered where its card pool is drawn from various Dominaria focused sets. I hope it's drawing a lot from the old sets like Invasion, Odyssey, Mirage, Ice Age, and freshening it all up with more recent cards. Has the potential to be a really great limited experience if they print enough of it.

We’re getting a epilogue shortly after one of the unannounced sets too I think. Looks like they’re playing around with how they can package and release cards from standard sets outside of the actual set itself.

Again, I totally understand and agree with everything you're saying- my point is that anyone looking at that without any of that outside context will look at that card and think "that rhino has a gun". Someone saying "oh its OBVIOUSLY a welder" has big "napkins are a vegetable" energy imo. I'll stop derailing about it lol
