I really like the M15 frame, actually. It looks more streamlined and sleek. 8th edition is fine, and the old frame is the worst, mainly because of how inconsistent the quality was in the old days. Really though, I don't have a very strong opinion on frames. I like them all to some degree. When it c...

interesting choices. :) 5colorsrainbow ah, I forgot about Eldraine. That place is nice to visit indeed! A beautiful world where stories and fantasies are real. Wait, why avoid innistrad? Isn't that place safe to visit during the day, since Emrakul sleep inside the moon? Of course, I'd planeswalk aw...

additional thought. I read on the wiki that Sarkhan help make a new hekma. But what's stopping Locust God from using his power to destroy the hekma again? Or is this new hekma stronger than the previous one? It seems as if the Bolas gods are mindless and need to be pre-programed, its likely the Loc...

Most 1) Eldrain- Beautiful fairy tale world high fantasy all the yes. 2) Theros- As a Percy Jackson fan this lets you do that but also be a mage since most people can use magic. 3) Kaladesh/post-mending Dominaria - Basically the only plane aside from the above ones where the mortality rate isn't hig...

I run a kinda janky Will and Rowan deck that focused on the theme of doubling. Used to run some clones/token makers but I focused it more on a instant or sorcery theme (with a mini focus on adventures) for Will and planeswalkers, level up creatures and other activated abilities stuff for Rowan. My f...

hmm, in Nissa's defeat Bolas told her that the soul of Amonkhet is dead. I'm wondering, in mtg lore, does it affect the leylines if the sould of a world is dead. Can the leylines still be fixed? yeah, I guess those gods are not yet undead. So the leyline fixing thing seems to be the only hope. Not ...

Questions out of curiosity. 1. Now that Bolas is defeated, would Scarab God and Locust God be free from his control? 2. I've read that Hazoret and the survivors still need a hekma as protection from these two gods. Maybe Lily can go to Amonkhet, command these two gods to stop? I think i could be po...

Is Elspeth only influencing the devotion of the dead? The summary has her confront Heliod as she works to escape the Underworld--this suggests that it is the devotion of the dead that weakens Khrusor. Or is there some suggestion that her lie about the weapon reaches the land of the living? Could be...

Ashiok thrives on fear and on causing nightmares. A world filled with unspeakable horrors is like a candy store for him. That said, I wouldn't call Ashiok evil, more chaotic neutral. Yes, he sows fear because he believes it to be the great equalizer, as we all fear something, and to further his own...

I think Satyr's are going to need a real power boost this set for satyr tribal to be relevant I think this a more of casual/commander card. People like their tribal decks and I think Theros is the only plane we have seen so far from magic that has satyrs as major race. Reminds me of the random cent...

Speaking of, how much time has passed [in the story] since the original block ended and this set?

Roughly 1-2 years, pretty much syncs up with the gatewatch forming since Kiora went right from Theros to BtZ storyline.

I was going to write one of those absurdist mini-skits I sometimes bust out when something stupid like this happens, but I've honestly got nothing I haven't said before. The reception to the return of mechanically unique cards has been negative since Firesong and Sunspeaker first made their appeara...

I was right, from the mechanics video looks like we have a "new" RG is Klothys god of destiny who was in the underworld.

Hey Sheldon what do you think overall was the highlight(s) of 2019 for Commander and what need aspect(s) improvement? D

Honesty I blame Nic Kelman and the switch to making the creative team become the world building team and become a small part of the new franchise team. The whole feels like they came in and decided to shift gears away from what the old creative had been setting up to force the story into how they wa...

Also the treatment of Dack Fayden was atrocious. If you're a player with a normal level of investment - you buy the cards and you read the Mothership articles - you have no idea who Dack Fayden is, what he's done, or even that he's involved at all in this story, and now he's dead for good. He was i...

Crushing of Waves 5UU Legendary Creature- Elemental Spirit Trample When ~ enters the battlefield return all other creatures to their owners hands, then create a 5/5 blue Elemental Spirit token creature with Trample for each card in each players hand. 5/5 Next: A fairy tale character we didn't get in...

Pros; -Over all I liked it. Django Wexler did a great job with tone, characters, action scenes and understanding of the lore and world building. More on each below; -Ral- Ral was a great protagonist and I like how we saw him go from the ass in RtR to the more heroic character that felt natural. We a...

Oh yea the four green ravnica paruns without cards.

My (likely) hopes are Hal, Alenna and Bolas Gods before being Corrupted.

Happy Halloween to us, we got a planeswalker guide. After the art book was cancelled I we wouldn't get to see the world of Eldraine from a non-story pov. Things I found interesting; -The five court artifacts where originally the elves. The arficts are also the sources of magic for the knights of eac...

Cards will most likely be Cord of Calling and Seedborn Muse.

I'm hyped I hope this a good place to put in legends that have issues going in regular decks.

Am I the only one who's worried about the 70+ brand new legends? Commander products in the past had 16~20 new legends each year, they're literally putting three plus years worth of ideas into this one, and that's not counting the Commander Legend decks. And if they continue with this trend, well of...

Yeah thats Jeska.

I can't wait to see what they did for a set of commander. Great way to knock out a bunch of requested characters as well since no hard theme or color balancing needs.

EDIT: I hope to see partner (with) and this should be they put arcane signet reprints.
