If I was a shapeshifter I would also have abs like that



He can look like anything, so of course he defaults to a humanoid appearance about the same build as the rest of the Planeswalkers we have.

His discard and sacrifice effects sound really irritating since Faeries look like they'll have a lot of ways to plus and are small enough to be expendable. He can also do them both at once.

Feels like the troll card should be more like the Hunted cycle from original Ravnica: you get a big creature, but your opponent gets a set of creatures that can kill yours. Him having a toll effect is weird too, in the story he doesn't get anything but an asskicking.

Drown in the Loch just sounds like it wants some deck focused on milling your opponent or discarding their stuff from t1 if possible, not everything needs to be in Teferi Tribal.

Arena is better than Duel Links (Yu-Gi-Oh's equivalent of it) in a good amount of ways but I sometimes wish it had the flair for presentation the latter has. When you pick what character you're playing as there you get unique voice lines and character taunts, but picking a Planeswalker on Arena just changes what picture represents you.

Had to go Mardu Knights at draft, also went 1-3. I feel these things were connected. I did pull Cauldron and Mirror though.

Nizzahon's a good guy, but a bit dry for long sessions listening to him I find. His draft videos can teach some good habits for that format if they end up liking it.

Somehow I suspect that Wizards is not going to remove from the game.

A lot of Boros and Azorius flavor text is lines like this honestly, and it's not like you can just remove them from the game. I can understand getting rid of some older cards that directly evoke real-world racism but if they wanted a list of stuff from across the whole game that could be offensive it would be laughably long.

These last few sets made me wish Veil hadn't been Green, since I liked using it and it would probably still be around if it weren't attached to a color that's had it really, really good lately.

Selfless Savior's art also doesn't depict him in a situation where he's about to use his effect, which seems odd given the other dogs in the set.

Just remember everyone they made another three Mana walker in blue in Eldraine that starts with very high loyalty and I don't think everyone complaining about it. They know how to make ok ones.

They also made 3 Mana Sorin in M20 who is very good, but balanced by him becoming a paper-weight without any vampires around. Both him and the Kenriths are for particular decks, can't just be jammed into anything, and don't put cement shoes on your opponent.

This is pretty cool. Hard to race (for a 2 drop) and late game 2 for 1 reanimate.

Nice two-drop for vampires, not sure what I'd take out for it though.

Have we seen Deadly Alliance yet? Excellent limited card, love these guys just going full Murder on the Orient Express.



I really hope when big events return I can have Wylie Beckert sign all of their cards.

It's a good card for draft but everytime I look at I can't help focusing on the art. You're getting murdered, man, you could care a little.

So he wants creature combat but he wants a banlist that will drastically buff non-creature decks.
