Re: Theros: Beyond Death Leak (flavor)

All the flavor will be on cards. So don't expect anything in M:tG line. Maybe only as a D&D campaign.

Re: War of the Spark: Forsaken summary posted on reddit

If he sank those ideas, maybe it will be a good question if it was his decision to abandon them or not. At least Wildered quest was good enough so maybe it will be better to stick to the shorter versions and rather not to go to full-length novels.

Re: MTG Hot Takes

- vanilla cards should not be created
- less functionally copied cards, more with original design
- less expansions with more depth (with no filler cards)
- stop making stronger creatures with same CMC (meaning P/T)
- make color pie great again :)

Re: Theros: Beyond Death Leak (flavor)

More interesting is that Nyx/Ilysia are going to be directly accessible for everyone from Theros and main plot will be solving this issue. Ummm where did you get that? We have Escape as new mechanic not only on Espeth, we have Nyx/Underworld lands, we have gods from standard Theros (visible on Omen...

Re: Theros: Beyond Death Leak (flavor)

- there seems to be a new god or something (the Furious Rise card " Klethys set out to mend the destiny of Theros, her fury guiding every stitch ." with a giant figure above the land. Not sure about new god. Photo is very unclear and from it looks like night sky and stars are missing. Loo...

Re: GRN/RNA-The Gathering Storm

Now is Gathering Storm complete. Did you like it? I was enjoying quite a lot. It was great to see how characters were handled and finally to understand why everybody missed 'old' Hekara. Only thing I hated was that sometimes (especially in later chapters) was the action when it wasn't needed. Unfort...

Re: Theros Beyond Death preview

[mention]spacemonaut[/mention] I don't think it would be good idea to give Gideon cameo. Especially if it isn't even sure that he returned to Theros. Picture from Heartwarming Redemption doesn't look like from Underworld. Masks are missing. Yes it could be simply another mistake but this detail I fi...

Re: Intentions and Improvements

The question I have is how we want to handle brewing for postrotation. On the Sally, we used to force new card discussion into a separate sub, but of late, it just seemed like an annoyance. What do people think? New card discussion in a special sub or mixed with prerotation decks? If the changes ar...

Re: [ELD] New Planeswalker OKO

I'm not sure if I could call him a trickster because from first two chapters of Bewildered Quest we can see that he is not doing it for fun. He can be R (although this will be very surprising for Fey) because of vengeance, could be B because of used methods. Definitely he is not from any plane we kn...

Re: ELD - The Wildered Quest - Preview chapters available

Just a linguistic note - "oko" means "eye" in many Slavic languages. Might be a coincidence, or not. Probably coincidence because the only plane with Slavic tradition is Ravnica and G fairies are not there. Now it is more interesting what will happen with Garruk after destroying...

Re: GRN/RNA-The Gathering Storm

Thats fine and I get the theme of how sometimes you can slip back into not being as great as a person but again it makes the Jace sleeper plot go nowhere and already not much of a twist or reveal due to War coming out first. You could also have the same result with Vraska being a "willing"...

Re: GRN/RNA-The Gathering Storm

Been kind busy with life to talk much about these stories but I gotta say I'm mostly positive for the most part except again Vraska. While I'm fine with how it was set up and feels in character for Vraska killing Isperia and regressing to old habits just kinda makes the Jace and her sleep agent goi...

Surprised why they changed Rowan's hair to red from blonde.
Where is the change visible? In cover of Wildered Quest she has also blonde hair (although a bit darker, which can be caused by different lighting).

Re: GRN/RNA-The Gathering Storm

Before Gathering Storm Ral was for me just another planeswalker. Now I like him as a character. Now I only hope that Elias or the other man will not be revealed as mind-controlled by Bolas. It is a pity that WAR book wasn't this good in writing and for the delay which caused incorrect reading order.

Re: ELD- Eldraine story and plane

Hard to say anything about quality. Children were excellent, also Gathering Storm is good so far. On the other side, we have WAR (not so good). Kate is talented but question is how much of her talent she can give to book. I have some hope because e-book is before release of set itself and also Kenri...

Interactions were good, but this was the first part, which I consider as a filler. At least fighting made sense.

Can you elaborate on that?
Django received info about characters but there wasn't mentioned that Jarad is undead lich and also there wasn't mentioned his actions from RAV block.

Re: GRN/RNA-The Gathering Storm

So far it is great reading (except Jarad, but this was explained by author). Maybe Vraska had back her memories too early, but setup and and execution made sense so I have no problem with it. Every character makes sense and is understandable why they do it. Characters are well-written, consistent an...

Re: Where do we go from here? Future set speculation.

Nordic plane (maybe with Angrath?) seems likely. From returning planes most probably it will be firstly Theros (still unfinished business with Elspeth), maybe Vrynn (not sure with change of poster-face switch from Jace to Chandra). Kamigawa is highly unlikely (although I will love it).

Re: [official] How long have you been playing?

Started with Ice age, continued until Mercadian masques, hiatus until Kamigawa, continued until Zendikar, hiatus until Return to Ravnica, since then only a pre-release player on paper and occasional player in Arena since open beta. I like game but since second return I am mostly Vorthos.

Re: Intentions and Improvements

What are the plans for the Establish/Proven subforums? Over on MTGS I felt like they were always handled poorly. IMO you're better off having both categories lumped together. Otherwise how they're divided becomes a bit arbitrary and it also complicates navigation for newer users. The number of deck...
