my prerelease kit had foil moonveil regent and the big demon; two mythics nice; shop got us set boosters as a bonus, opened a black commander rare in it
most people at the event ran Rx piles, turning creatures sideways works, who knew
tracking day/night in paper was easier than I thought

Are there any cards besides Ragemonger and Edgewalker that reduce colored mana cost? I know there's stuff like Rooftop Storm that gives spells an alternate cost. I was wondering about actual colored mana reduction.

Welp

someone linked me to the twitter of the person who did most of the worldbuilding/art direction for the Baldur's Gate set and uh, their choices sure were something: https://twitter.com/justicejameson (linking the twitter in general, there's tons of comments on bunches of previews going back days)

so, basically, if you're wondering why everyone looks like tokenistic diversity central casting combined with tumblr queer shipping that's the directions they gave all the artists! yaaaaaaaaaaaaay isn't WotC the wokest?

i guess a quick list of highlights would be:
-bane, the evil god of tyranny, is apparently historically anti-Black
-they specifically pulled a card from the set for a character from the baldur's gate video games, because he was a dwarf mercenary who only cared about getting paid and that's anti-Semitic
-"In the original Baldur's Gate, Dynaheir is a demanding Rashemaar invoker who the player meets with Minsc, but her depiction as the only Black woman companion relied on tribalist and sexualizing stereotypes." i don't even know how they got this reading from a character who's from a strong matriarchal kingdom and is part of a matched pair with no sexual elements
-Baldur's Gate II's rules not allowing a halfling (Mazzy Fentan) to be a paladin was discrimination

like even as a person who agrees with some of this stuff, this feels incredibly diversity bingo and just gross

Ixalan, Amonkhet and Kaladesh really benefitted from 2-set blocks with first set showing the world and the second being heavy on story development; all three of those planes got fairly positive response I think.

Out of the recent ones I think Ikoria and Eldraine got decent introduction yet were severely hurt in the storytelling-through-cards (Ikoria ones even contradict the official story), Strixhaven and New Capenna are just pure duds with a few strong visual motifs.

Instead of using the wankoff emote, how about you address the point? If it's wrong to sell Magic cards in one warmongering nation, why is it okay in another?

I personally think that private businesses cutting off their ties (and thus hurting their profits) from a country engaging in an insane war of conquest (and possibly genocide) and making it minorly inconvenient (we are talking about buying magic cards ffs) for a segment of its population to carry on like nothing is happening, is pretty good.

Also Seth is impossible to watch because his content is just him narrating what's happening on the screen. Absolutely do not understand the appeal.

I usually watch his videos in background so play by play helps following it; I think most streamers do it to some extent because otherwise it is either silence or thinking about lines of play out loud.
