It's quite unfortunate to see you step down over reasoning that is based on such a falsehood, but I do wish you the best in regards to your health. Thanks for your service to the community. I'm sorry you feel it's a falsehood. As it stands, the RC has no desire to be what I essentially would need i...

It makes me incredibly sad to be in this position, but as of today, I will be stepping down both as an admin and an EDH moderator. I love this game, and this format dearly, but I can't keep putting so much in when it truly feels like the Rules Committee no longer cares about their community. I'm not...

Really, this all gets fixed if they reprint them as regular magic cards with in universe flavor and errata the TWD ones to be Godzilla'd. And by regular magic cards, I mean released in a regular manner as well. That would retroactively align these with the other Secret Lairs, just limited edition s...

Even sitting on it for a day, I'm so deeply disappointed in the RC on this decision. They are the only people with the ability to actually stand up to WotC on this issue in a meaningful way, and they made a conscious choice not to, while simultaneously handing Wizards a huge win in terms of legality...

I'm not really disappointed in the RC. Their rationale makes sense. I would have liked these things to be banned before they even go on sale, but expecting the RC to police WotC business practices is a bit much. Well, there is a difference in that I am merely disappointed in the RC, and I can't exp...

I didnt really expect the RC to act on these cards, but I honestly have never been more disappointed in both them and WotC.

And we've come full circle on the general issue, I've landed back on Jodah as the "official" general. He fixes some of the problems this deck has with huge mana costs, whereas Kenrith just sits there and looks pretty. I've also made some minor adjustments to cram in another legendary creat...

Minor update: Out Orochi Leafcaller Bear Umbra Diabolic Intent Enlightened Tutor In Radha, Heart of Keld Marisi, Breaker of the Coil Neyith of the Dire Hunt Moraug, Fury of Akoum It probably seems like a weird set of cut cards, but to make room for some of the cute warriors we've had printed I decid...

The print timeline of commander sets has been very hit or miss as to when they suddenly spike and disappear. Some years they're available all year long, and some years they vanish. The partner decks IIRC were another year where they were in very short supply and vanished early, though I can't recal...

More examples of mechanically unique cards with limited availability - Commander decks On several occasions the precons have been in super short supply because of chase cards (see TNN especially). With the exception of the first Commander release, and the initial release of C13 (or whichever one ha...

I think it's goofy to differentiate the secret lairs from masters sets. If anything they are *more* available to the average player than masters packs, since many game stores straight up refused to sell UMA to players and kept it all. None of the masters sets have been print to demand ever. For the...

I've added a few updates to expand on some of my non-creature categories. ^.^

Worth pointing out that while a functional reprint is one possibility, they also can create an actual reprint with a Magic name and flavor, ala inverse Godzilla cards. If they print Gorthos, Tyrant King with a little bar under it that says Neegan, The Cold-Blooded , then that's still a Neegan for d...

This announcement is prior to the Walking Dead card announcement. We should see the RC make an update on that some time prior to the sale period of the cards. A friendly reminder to all wanting to participate in this thread, the RC members are often members here as well so please avoid making inflam...

I'm moving one of these quotes out of order because I want to put in a small side quip before I address the main point (the bottom two quotes), just so the bulk of my argument and issue is the end point of the post. They will not ban these cards. Most of us will not even see them in action. And if o...

The more I think on it I'm not sure this is really fundamentally different than booster packs, especially of masters sets. And people are upset about it more because it's saying the quiet part out loud than anything different from the status quo. Given it's limited time availability (most sets are ...

The RC has just SILENCED all criticism of this on their Discord. If they refuse to listen to 90% of their playerbase, we will know who they REALLY care about. I think this is an overreaction, Sheldon said on twitter that they've gotten a ton of feedback and are reviewing the issue, and will release...

I don't think they should ban them, the cards aren't broken, they actually seem kinda fun to build around. The RC should just focus on game breaking cards. I can't really fault you for having that opinion, but personally I think that the RC has an obligation to protect EDH players from predatory pr...

I'll just rephrase what I said in the new card thread, but Hate. Hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, double hate. LOATH entirely. I sincerely hope it bites the dust prior to the card going on sale, it sets a really, really bad precedent on WotC's part, and I couldn't be more disappointed. They...

I agree that an equipment subtheme might be hard to fit in well here, especially if you want a high density of cats. My initial feeling of course is that you are pretty heavy on creatures though. If I were trying to build this I would make a little more room for interaction, ramp, and card draw and...

I'd have adored this if they were just reskinned, existing legendary (or otherwise, like Mothra) cards. As they currently stand? Hate. Hate hate hate, double hate, LOATH entirely. I sincerely hope the RC steps in before the product actually goes on sale.

I love it! One thing I would suggest is that you look at an equipment subtheme. There are a few cats that have synergy with equipment such as Kemba, Kha Regent . I originally had an equipment subtheme, but I removed it during my first pass on the deck. I'm not 100% sure how to balance it enough to ...

For those of you with art preferences like me, is there anything specific you try to avoid? Be it weird anatomy, gross art, etc.

My take on cat tribal, featuring Arahbo, Roar of the World . :) Originally, this deck was going to be build with Kaheera, the Orphanguard as the general, but I found that it worked better focusing on a single creature type, rather than 5. With that in place, it makes more sense to put Arahbo at the ...

I've actually got a bunch of hangups. Necessity of the card trumps everything, but if I can avoid it I shy away from white border, foils, and foreign language cards. Meanwhile, I've been agonizing for weeks because Anowon, the Ruin Thief is a better general, but Zareth San, the Trickster has waaaaa...
