Thinking about it... maybe it is a variant of evoke/kicker rather than monstrous - i. e. the templating of the fabled spell/permanent split card. Casting a copy of a printed sorcery from the battlefield is certainly possible, but you could easily imagine this being a choice from hand as well. Having...

All of the Brawl cards will be in Collector Boosters (but not Draft Boosters), so it is perfectly fine to include them in the overall list. I agree. It's not that I don't accept them as part of some grand overall grouping, but I feel anything that doesn't come in what is now known as a Draft Booste...

They have always had both direct references in individual cards and their own twists as well. Innistrad e. g. has featured both the Blob and the Fly and the Invisible Man and Jekyll/Hyde as well as expanding Frankenstein's Monster to a whole species of Zombies called skaab and recognized returning t...

This is pretty much what I was expecting when I posted earlier that the Brawl decks will be an additional, frequent source of new cards for Commander players. I feel really weird about grouping all these ancillary cards into the set they are released with. Threads like this should be tagged not only...

Have we ever seen Liliana interacting with Vampires? She's mostly associated with Zombies - also Specter's during her difficult phase before WotC decided to make their characters more focused. A result of that focus is that Sorin gets dibs on Vampires now, too. But Innistrad totally has all three o...

You know how I have the occasional article chockful of new information about Magic that everyone's going to be talking about? Well, today's article is one of those. Well, this is a self-fulfilling prophecy, because the thing that gets me most talking about this article is how it was supposed to be ...

Yeah, the page-analogy makes it likely that the right box somehow is only active after the first. I like the "has told its tale" phrasing. The question to me is whether it appears as card text or just as reminder text and is implicit in the frame (as is e. g. the case for levelers). I expe...

The book clearly has two sides, so that should be important to the mechanic. That makes the second version a bit more likely. Good call on seeing that second line which could be a type line of a virtual spell card. A reason even your second version seems dubious: The page with the mana cost is left ...

R&D: Meanwhile, enjoy these mechanically unique cards in game night or whatever that supplemental product was called! PLAYERBASE: Guys... R&D: Also, enjoy these mechanically unique cards in preconstructed decks for a format that was dead on arrival! Gavin will write next week why we're shoo...

My problem is more with the "Theologian" part than the "Academy" part. Theology doesn't fit into a world, where philosophy is more universalist and theology covers everything as well since Gods are so much less abstract. 2) You need to consider what enchantments stand for in Ther...

I like it ordained is also open to being expanded if a new card type/subtype or game object is created to go with these.

I'm not too much a fan of Mist Hopper.

Kasmina was already mentioned as someone they have plans with, while the way they talk about Davriel has given me the impression that they look forward to "eventually" using him, but not actually soon.

Ingest is a triggered ability. If there is a triggered ability exiling cards and a linked ability caring about those cards printed on that card, then the rules actually create a need to track. The card itself serves as a reminder that you now have to pay attention how you stack your triggers. This i...

Academy Theologian sounds extremely non-Theran for a cardname. It and Chosen of Ashiok are also incredibly bad choices for mythics. Denounce conceptually is weird. Theros is an enchantment set, so you want players to play enchantments. This mechanic is themed as something that will cause enchantmen...

Dragon's Hoard is an instant metalcraft, too. Cards like Saproling Hive increasingly belong in white. The suggested card is still fine. I like cards like Star Priest , but the creature design of the Horror is outdated for a reason, so making it a token doesn't improve the concept. It would be kinda...

We have afterlife now, so I guess you are right. I just like the lack of parameters aesthetically. Card of the Day 2019-07-17: > Quell WU Instant (U) Counter target spell unless its controller pays its mana cost. "Without Minamo's aid I could not imagine how our people could stand against the f...

Colorled cards should always be more efficent and aggressive than their colorless counterpart, so we need to to remake all the costs of this card as well:

My proposed fix: Make this card colorless. It's the Blind Eternities after all - birthplace origin-nonplace of the Eldrazi. Why are they white?
