CMM was overpriced reprints and some bad commander decks, hadn't realized it wasn't already out. Eldraine has been the set I've actually wanted to hear about since MOM.

If you’re a Doctor Who fan it looks like they did a good job with these cards, they’re all so weird that they have to be referencing stuff from the show. New Ixalan is about going to the hollow core of the planet and finding a mysterious fifth faction that lives there. Eldraine takes place after the Phyrexian war, there are people from other planes chilling out (Jack from Jack and the Beanstalk is a Vedalken), and there’s only one PW, Ashiok (the plan moving forward is to only have one PW per set). Each limited archetype is based on a fairy tale (UB is Frozen), Adventures are back (some are multicolour) and food is back. The bonus sheet is enchantments and there are going to be cool Japanese alt arts of at least some of them. https://twitter.com/mtgjp/status/1684896521039577089?s=46&t=IJdqhSwMmIFqfaKy_5md2g Jabor posted:It's preview hype season 365 days a year.

Every Magic set is an opt-in experience. fadam fucked around with this message at 14:01 on Jul 28, 2023 |

A Moose posted:lmao if I have to play against a Rhystic Study in limited on arena I'm going to figure out how to hack someone's computer to light their genitals on fire. Why? It's a weak card in 1v1, especially in limited. Just pay the 1 unless you are curving out. Also, with fewer players, it's fewer triggers.

I presume since there's an english version that's a yes

I wish I liked that story arc more but I ended up skipping most of it because I found all the main characters insufferable. Cool card though.

They didn't spoil Syr Ginger, but Tough Cookie is hilarious. So is Greta, whose art shows her fighting off some angry gummy worms. It's interesting, the Doctor's Companions can't partner with changeling legends; they specifically only partner with creatures with the exact creature types "Time Lord Doctor". No partner for Orvar.

None of them seem particularly good with any of the (also not particularly good) Changeling commanders. I guess just for flavour?

Brilliant idea in concept, but got entirely devoured by the weird as gently caress places the plot went. Dr. Who is my go-to example of a show that's overall 'pretty bad'. When you look back episode by episode there's so many more misses than hits, but when it does hit, it his so good I get why people love it. & still affectionately look back on a couple of seasons myself.

All for this choice, make Planeswalkers special once again.

I think it's a combination of that and wanting more of their flagship characters to be able to head up commander decks.

I thought about rewatching Doctor Who starting from the 9th or 10th Doctor, but seeing these cards reminded me that most of the plotlines were really bad. Insufferable, twee, cringey, melodramatic, etc. It's like sketch comedy shows where the highs are very memorable and you repress the memories of all the terrible sketches that went on too long and weren't funny.

All for this choice, make Planeswalkers special once again. iirc, part of it's that battles fit into the same kind of "weird card with complicated effects you need to defend" slot as planeswalkers. As you get a wider range of things you want to fit into that kind of slot, the less you can use each individual card type without making the whole set lopsided. (Also, agreed. I'm all for having the number of planeswalkers that are important enough to be cards be limited. This way it's actually notable when a set has three planeswalkers as key characters again.)

Anybody watching the pro tour? Coverage is actually pretty great with Marshall and AliasV gone. Definitely exceeding expectations. With it starting at 2AM you can just zoom through the VOD too. There have been some really clutch plays on display in various rounds.

Adding the Spanish? version of cards in the previews is a bit odd. Is there a push to normalize providing Spanish versions of corporate communications as an effective second language in the US or something?
