Out of all the cost cutting measures, this seems like one that would greatly affect long term profits.

Didn't their sales plummet in Hong Kong etc when they went "no more traditional, you can use simplified right?" and got "lol no" as an answer.

I think they finally figured out how to make the anime arts good

That looks like a bathtub op.

It's the practice of drinking from radioactive old world plumbing, let me have it, ok

It's it's own plain and anthropomorphic animals. Return to Lowryn is the winter set.

As long as they don't hire the artist that did the Thrashing Brontodon anime treatment the set should be ok.

What are you talking about about, Ixalan alt treatments owned. They should do more of those, they look really great together too, rad color palettes. Almost want to make a dino commander deck just to have an excuse to have em, I assumed one artist did em but I haven't checked. Would be cool if Arena had easy links to artists if you're digging the art.

One neat thing - they've shortened "enters the battlefield" to just "enters".

I see they're sourcing the opinions of Commander's worst players for their naming conventions...

Average commander thought is further filtering into R&D mechanics.

MH3 has free spells, like everyone predicted/feared. Green one's just Cultivate for either 1GG or sacrificing a nontoken green creature, which doesn't seem too dangerous.

if it's anything like historic/party/modified it's probably not going to be used for anything after this set, but it's a neat mechanic to consider for the one

edit:

oh lol are people genuinely mad about the name

It's kind of funny they went with this alternate wincon:



Because it's so insanely low chance to actually hit the win, the only practical way people will every get it to work is by assembling an infinite combo. And because WotC decided to make this an alternate wincon, a LOT more people would try to assemble the infinite combo than otherwise if it just made a ton of treasure tokens or gave some other big advantage.

Except that due to it being tied to rolling a lot of dice with random outcomes, it leads to a 4 horsemen scenario where you can't just say "I have this infinite loop, I'll do it until I win." You actually have to manually play out every single activation. If you set up an infinite loop with 7 bobbleheads, the chance is 1/280,000 each time you roll the dice to win. I saw that mathematically you have the highest chance at 41 dice, not sure on the exact percent chance to win at 41 but no matter how you do it, winning with this card is going to be tedious as all gently caress and not able to be shortcutted.

they're all going to be 'sac a nontoken creature of the color' which, at the very least, is somewhat telegraphable compared to just always assuming your opponent has force

What's up with that Borderless Polluted Delta?

Scanning error or is the land in some plane that has like rasterized terrain?
