If you can re-cast the sorcery parts of Storybook cards Run Away Together may have some pretty solid upside.

Adventure is fine. You cast it and if it resolves you exile it and put a counter on it to remind yourself you can cast it, easy enough., not sure what the memory issues here are supposed to be? Adamant is a generic limited mechanic, sure whatever. Food is good. It's exceptionally mediocre on its own, but they've already shown a bunch of cards that interact with it so I'm sure that'll be good.

DAD LOST MY IPOD posted:OGW is singlehandedly responsible for one of the top tier decks in the format. BFZ is probably the worst designed set since saviors though In the same vein, Avacyn Restored is probably the worst limited set in Modern and is responsible for Miracles. OGW does also probably have the weakest lore, being the highpoint of wow, the Jacetice League!, but at least it made draft better then 3x BFZ.

Man, where was that guy in the Arena premade Knights deck. Seems kinda pushed where they could've weakened it slightly in a bunch of different ways (sorcery speed, can't hit planeswalkers, or anything really), but I guess we'll see if we get some Ravenous Chupacabra ranting about it I guess.

Sinteres posted:I don't hate that there's a knights theme in the set, it's just weird that the marketing seems to focus so heavily on the fairytale aspect while design seems to have been scared of it. It makes sense for them to be gunshy because if it's successful they'll just plan to come back to it in 2 years and have a whole bunch more designs they can use immediately.

DAD LOST MY IPOD posted:This card is sloooooooooooooow as gently caress. You can only realistically cast it after casting a bunch of spells and it doesn’t start doing anything until you untapped with it. It’s like that rw token making enchantment; the meta would have to be turbo-glacial to justify such a slow card Yeah, I was looking at it thinking how it's probably too slow for limited. It's a neat card and there's probably things to do with it, but I imagine most of the time you'd rather just play a Drawn From Dreams or any other card draw spell.

There's lots of humans on mirrodin, a tribe of each color (Vulshok, Auriok, Sylvok, Moriok and Neurok, and also a fair bit of the least appealing art Magic cards have had in the original block.

As someone who used to buy a box of every set just to crack at and look at and sort, that product speaks to me. I haven't bought a physical card since like arena came out, but I'm pretty tempted to buy a box.

Theme boosters seem like they exist for target and walmart primarily for kids / kitchen table players who would be the audience for a giant pile of commons / uncommons of mostly the same color. Collectors and Set boosters seem to have the closest to overlapping audience. That stuff just reminds me of how sportscards have / had(?) retail vs hobby versions of most of their products with all sorts of indiscernable differences between the two.

Captain Invictus posted:Like, how many truly, horrendously terrible cards you would never, ever use and would actively work against you come out each set nowadays? Where are my Wood Elementals? Where are my Sorrow's Paths? Everything I'm seeing in these newer sets are just too...decent! it disgusts me. I haven't played in a few sets, but I feel like they moved the truly stone unplayable cards to be these weird, typically enchantments or artifacts at uncommon you see at draft for the first time, go huh, pass it, then see it every single time because nobody ever takes that poo poo. Alternatively, expensive red enchantments, which are useless for any kind of competitive play, but are at least usually funny, and that's what really matters. I much prefer a world where bad cards are like Mirrormarch then Mudhole.

Captain Invictus posted:the difference in amount of variety with current mtg artwork and classic mtg artwork is stark. it's a drat shame. there's plenty of current artwork that is phenomenal of course, but nowhere near the amount of memorable stuff out there like the absolutely gorgeous barrage of visuals of Richard Kane Ferguson. All of his stuff could best be described as "windswept" and I loved it for it Such an awesome as hell card as a kid. Weird (at the time) effect, great art, cool name, odd casting cost.

The Dark was a very cool set that was probably the last one with real mystique around it because it still had a pretty small print run that dropped before the game exploded in popularity, to go along with pretty excellent art and theme. Like yeah, it'd be awful to draft with and half the cards are stone nothing, but it had a ton of neat cards that did work. What's the second worst set after Homelands? Fallen Empires was pretty rough, but it at least had like solid lore. What'd say... Prophecy ever do for anybody?

Marketing New Brain posted:Glad to see Avacyn Restored made it on there, what an absolute bomb of a set, full of just absolutely awful mechanics, slow gameplay and unbeatable bombs. I remember when they were hyping it up as the next Rise of the Eldrazi because it was a standalone format where they could really concentrate on the draft environment. All that accomplished was a failure to dilute the sheer awfulness of it. It was easily the worst set I've drafted, but considering how much work the miracles put in in standard / other formats, I figured it didn't belong. Worst draft formats ever though? Probably #1 for anything past the Pestilence at common era of set design.
