IDK about anyone else, but when I am otherwise unoccupied I sit perfectly still, staring forward into whatever happens to be in front of me.

so how many times have you actually accused people of Kibler Shuffling in the past

Tbf I do hate it and find it irritating to be around. Especially once it's down to two cards in hand. Given the choice I'd probably opt to rush out a discard spell at that point over playing something more strategic just to take away baby's binkie.

This is entirely a "me" problem though

I tend to start shuffling when I get bored waiting for my opponent do something. Sort of a fidgety reflex while the anxiety of my demise builds.

Sounds like a good way to lose some IRL F6 equity when they jam a spell into verbal pass spam.

in my mind hand shuffling is synonymous with try hard mode so I'm gonna roll my eyes if I see it unless it's at a tournament

It’s also funny because people who emulate this behavior are often a little too serious about mtg. They also HATE you pointing out they are imitating pros and will go out their way to elaborate how they have always done this and it’s not monkey see monkey do.

It's learned behavior but more about fitting in with their friends bog-standard social contagion stuff for most people rather than imitating pros.

I was explicitly taught it for tournament magic, and I've won many tournament games off tracking when cards were drawn or reading which cards they pay attention to in what circumstances. I still do it unconsciously sometimes in more casual settings, and anyone trying to build the habit should be doing it all the time.

Sagas absolutely returning.

I recognized reprints of Balduvian Horde, Weatherlight, and Board the Weatherlight with new art. Historic is likely back as a theme.

Possible new Karn walker card named Karn, Living Legacy - probably makes the Karn reprint of Scion or Liberated unlikely. New Liliana art was shown, making her reprint more likely. Liliana of the Veil makes a lot of sense as I thought Double Masters 2022 going with the Last Hope was odd. Although Teferi, Hero of Dominaria makes a lot of sense as well.

she doesn't have the veil anymore I'm pretty sure

Idk what the veil is but I’ll be really surprised if we get Hero of Dominaria in Standard again. LotV is powerful but HoD coincided with a lot of people playing Magic for the first time and it drove a lot of zoomers insane.

The 'of the Veil' in that card's name is the Chain Veil. it's your typical fantasy 'makes you powerful but it's cursed' object. She doesn't have it anymore. The art as you can see seems to be suggesting she's getting it back though.

The Chain Veil card lets you do another round of planeswalker loyalty abilities on your turn.

"of the veil" doesn't necessarily mean she has it anymore. everybody in dominaria knows her as that necromancer with the shiny demonic face covering. just because I introduce myself everywhere as "kalel of the something awful forums" doesn't mean I'm posting on the something awful forums at that very moment

Liliana of the Veil is one of those beloved cards that's only fringe playable in Modern now that I think WotC wants to try in Pioneer where Rakdos Midrange is already a good deck. The more I think about it, the more I think it LotV that's getting reprinted.

The Veil being on both her cards is probably more relevant than whether or not she’s previously had it in the story
