@CommanderMaster999 - Krosan Verge (along with Nantuko Monastery, Riftstone Portal, Genesis, Glory, and a bunch of others) was part of Judment's heavy GW theme, as a counterpart to Torment's heavy black theme (which brought us Cabal Coffers and the Tainted land cycle). If anything, one could consider them a bunch of paired cards (like Soul of the Harvest / Harvester of Souls).

Well to make it short

Lets just say the cycle likely is just simply the wedge ultimatums

With COVID-19, I wonder if this will hit WotC hard as no PT, no GP, and probably no paper pre-release for Ikoria?
Mark said they are letting stores sell the pre-release kits for people to take home
(Even though some stores already do that)
It won't hit WotC that hard. They can store the physical product for now, and sell it later. They'll make money on digital sales on Arena and MODO for now, and sell packs from any hype they can generate.

Except the LGSs have to be open in order to sell the kits. In PA, the governor just ordered the closure of all "non life-sustaining" businesses, likely due in no small part to the nonsense GameStop was pulling by refusing to close. In CA, the governor just enacted a statewide "shelter-in-place" order, which will have a similar effect.

Yeah, the LGSs - even those with diverse merchandise - are likely looking at potential evictions when the rent comes due after weeks (or months) without any sales.
May your games be chaotic and your decks be rogue.

Don't spread misinformation. There is currently a drug that shows potential to be useful in treating but there is no cure right now.

There will, unfortunately, likely never be a cure. But if we are lucky, they'll have a functioning vaccine by the end of the year. And there are several medicines (both existing and new) that are being tested as treatments. One of the potential treatments being tested is a combination of an old anti-malaria drug and an old HIV drug, which shows promise. Another is a relatively new flu-medicine from Japan. There are doctors around the world that are working literally around the clock to find potential treatments.
Until working treatments are found however, we need to keep doing what we are doing, and that is limiting social contact (I.e. social distancing), and be obsessive with our handwashing.

Trying to prevent derailing here to break rules

yes over exaggerated but Not necessary misinformation what I meant to say is something that will fix enough to get social level more normal and safer they are doing a little more work on this potentionally antidote

Not necessary locked but pre-release paper will probably be more fine than we think

Not for Ikoria. Probably not for Core21 and Zendikar Rising either. This is not something that will pass soon. We will be lucky if we get a vaccine this year.

I highly doubt it will be that long

Besides We're practially already doing ordering everyone to be isolated for two to stop the spread

It will be most likely be reduced enough before core 2021 or zendikar rising

Now let's get this back one the rails it's not like they reveal marit lage was hiding on Ikoria will they? (She's the right size for that plane)

That mindset is part of the reason why it won't be over soon, and why people with compromised immune systems, such as myself, are in constant danger as long as this goes on.

Just because a card can do something that can be replicated with a slightly different configuration does not make it part of a cycle.
But the point of MaRos teaser is that something which right now isnt a cycle is going to be made as a cycle in Ikoria.

People desire Krosan Verge to be a cycle, even if it isnt and wasn't meant to be. We are talking about that desired cycle.
