If you only apologize months after the issues crop up and only when you get called out on it while trying to move into a new business, it undermines the idea that you are remotely authentic in your apology. Owen didn't apologize and come clean when he was first called out for being a sex pest. He only 'apologized' and came clean when he realized that people still remembered that he was a sex pest. This is not a real apology.

Public apologies are always bullshit and done for the primary reason of getting people to leave you alone. That's why the best move is to never do them. He should have trucked on until people got tired of talking about him and moved on to other things.

It's weird to me that the card name refers to both of them but planeswalker type only Will. Why not call it "The Rowans" if both of their names won't fit?

They're Will and Rowan Kenrith. It references both of them.

Yeah, I'm not sure how adventuring has memory issues like some people have said. Usually that's something you say about untracked mechanics that last longer than a turn, which adventuring is not.

does it matter if a card is exiled with adventure or not? I thought that all the adventure creatures could be cast from exile no matter how they were put there.

wow, ok that makes the mechanic both worse and clunkier. not much worse, but I can see how people have issues with it now, especially after WotC just got done printing a cycle that just shrugged off exile effects, so clearly they have no problem with having stuff that does that, and it may be an interesting design space to have cards that are weak to destroy removal but more resilient against exiling, as that's something they've never done.

Did people really think that every adventure creature was just going to be an Eternal Scourge with more text? Magic players can be dumb but cards with memories associated with their abilities is not new and will work just fine.

the rules text on eternal scourge and the relevant reminder text for adventure are almost identical and currently if you're not following wotc staff on twitter it's easy to see how someone could think that these are just creatures that shrug off being exiled.

Counter-point, but I'm glad Magic can tap into silly worlds without going full Smash Up. Eldraine nearly breaks the fourth wall with references to fairy tales, which hasn't happened on this level since Arabian Nights, but as wacky as that is, there's limits and it doesn't go into full Hearthstone-like wackiness. Would I have liked to see a Magic-al realistic take on Puss in Boots? Maybe a normal-looking cat with black paws ("boots")? Sure, but there's other fairy tales I'm sure were cut from the design doc also. The "too silly" reasoning bothers me because there's probably no fairy tale that can't be twisted into something more on Magic's level while still maintaining the reference, but I'd love to see an article from Maro about what other things were cut.

one of their core planeswalkers is a walking, talking cat man. they could have done puss in boots fine.

Is there any evidence that Magic is doing well now because they've just done a bunch of good sets in a row? I'd want to see numbers now vs. BFZ/SOI/Kaladesh block when standard was just a mess.

can someone with better knowledge of the rules explain something to me? someone told me that the comma in the middle of Urza, Lord High Artificer's 3rd ability means that abilities can be activated in the middle of it. For instance, you could spend five to activate him, shuffle your library, then activate a scroll rack to put something on top before flipping the top card of your deck. A judge friend of mine confirmed this is how it works, but it seems counterintuitive to everything I know about the stack. Can someone explain this?

So that recent survey asked an interesting question: if you could get any 5 (non RL) cards reprinted what would you choose?

I know we�ll have a few people say Oubliette, but I personally feel Rhystic Study is far overdue a reprint.

The fewer Rhystic Studies floating around the better.

evilweasel posted:

it seems like the question has been answered, but there's also just a logical way to get at this. the effect (shuffle first, then show the card) is unmistakably intended to prevent you from having influence on what card is flipped by putting a specific card on the top of the deck. it would be an insanely stupid and unfun to have an edge case that let you do exactly what the ability was designed to bar you from doing (with no real restriction) just by knowing the precise parsing of the rules.

being stupid and unfun has never stopped rulings before. Most cards that have turned out broken have been because of weird edge cases that snap the intent of the card over their knee.

I don't understand how Prismatic vista needed to be printed into MH because it's too good for standard, but Fabled Passage is fine. They seem around the same power level, with vista being better early game but passage being better mid-late, but one is $35 and the other is $8.

I get that prismatic is better for older formats, but I think that if passage is not too powerful for standard, then vista shouldn't be either, since the advantage of vista isn't as important in standard.

2. Holy poo poo Scalding Tarn is $110.

Because the last decade or so has relied so heavily on ETB effects on creatures that if they don't have one, they need to be amazing to see play. A creature with 7 pages of text, but no ETB needs haste or an ability worth the risk.

I wonder if Questing beast would be played anywhere near as much if it was a 4/4 for 4 with only 5 abilities instead of 6.

Destroy target non basic land or Planeswalker. If a land was destroyed this way, its owner may search their library for a basic land and put it into play, and you draw a card

E: that probably doesn't work for some reason but they really should print a playable Planeswalker hoser. It's so hard to get value against them and their flavour is super lame.

They just printed a 2 mana plague wind for planeswalkers.
