I don’t understand historic I thought it was a format like modern where there’s a starting set and it goes to to current day. Why would they just add random rear end cards not even legal in modern? I’m confused on what they want that format to be.

its the farm upstate where all your old cards no longer legal in standard go to visit.

I can't figure out jack poo poo for the Throne of Eldraine spoiler season. No panel at PAX West, no date for the start of official spoilers, nothing.

There always seemed to be a rule of thumb in the past where every block got at least one major "innovation" mechanic (equipment, sagas, Tribal, etc), and a few supplemental mechanics, not to mention mechanics got carried over between sets in the block. As this is the first set fully developed under the "3+1 rule" I wonder if we're seeing them wanting to ration mechanics between sets that are so creatively different.

I mean. Adventure pile is also going to be temporary. And the adventure frame is already kind of a hint, a visual indicator if you may, that you shouldn't treat it like your generic exile pile

I did, when I first read the reminder text. The Exile zone has been consistently moving away from its origins as outside the game towards a second special graveyard, and they've already made creatures that avoid exile effects in WAR. I could see R&D being willing to move in that direction, and it's not like any of the Adventure cards so far are strong enough for legacy formats even if they escape Swords to Plowshares.

That said, this is probably a much better solution.

I remember when people thought Mirror of Fate was WOTC trying to make exile into a second graveyard, it's been ten years and that hasn't really come to pass.

...jesus Christ its been 10 years since M10

A fairy-tale world seemed like the perfect fit for Magic. There was just one problem: every time I pitched the idea, I was shot down. I think the biggest concern was one of juvenilization, as fairy tales are often associated with children's stories. I referenced things like Grimms' Fairy Tales to point out that there are very adult ways to approach the material, but my arguments fell to deaf ears.

I haven't seen a second set so obviously telelgraphed before. If they didn't come out and say Return to Theros was the next set, I would've known just from how hard mono-color is pushed in this set. No rare duals, adamant, quad hybrid creatures, etc. I have a feeling the green Castle is way better than it looks just because Theros 2 cards are going to reward you for having six green mana to pay for a creature or creature ability.

if they ever make a mechanic in theros 2 that's like do X for each G spent on this it's three mono color mana fixing

idk if its play designs influence, but I feel like the past few sets have had a lot more cards that are like "huh I want to make this work" rather than being either obviously pushed for constructed/mediocre for limited.

The "pacified" dragon makes me want the next Un-set to have black-border reprints but with funny art. Imagine Pacifism but it's a ferocious giant dragon incapacitated with a pacifier in its mouth. Completely harmless!

im sorry but this kind of humor is too juvenile for the very serious game of magic; the gathering
