It was also posted in German, pretty sure it's legit.

RIP adding new cards to historic, a thing that would have made the format way more interesting

uhhh have you seen the current Standard 2020 event? Not a single one of the Eldraine preview cards makes the format anything but terrible.

At least half the "special" event formats re also terrible. I had zero faith in their ability to pick cards that make formats anything but terrible

No, it'll have a complete set to round it out. The problem now is that it's 3 sets and a handful of bad Eldraine cards

The designers who made Narset should seriously have all their fingers and toes clipped off with pruning shears and be made to eat them.

Like I can’t imagine sitting down to design an uncommon with the text “your opponent can’t draw cards” and not having everyone else in the room go “dude it’s a CARD game, that’s like the whole point, go take five minutes and get rid of that terrible idea”

You can still draw cards, just 1 on each turn. It's a great check to Krasis and some other annoying cards

Naw it’s a trash card for dweebs, and I can’t wait for Murderous Rider to enter the format so her reign of terror will be over.

Targeting narset with removal seems unprofitable

Narset's an absurdly powerful (and unfun) card, if you're going to have a problem with a card existing in this standard it's a pretty good pick.

I was mostly just picking on him for being unable to deal with the oppressiveness of Narset

In theory I like Goose more than Llanowar Elves in most situations, because early game you can use it like a BoP for a turn, which starts getting your board established. That's generally what you want LE for anyhow, and unlike LE, it's not a dead draw later in the game

I just looked at the set and there's exactly one Wolf card, unless I'm missing something.

I will probably still try to brew a Tolsimir/Arlinn deck

I actually made this in Selesnya a couple months back and it was pretty decent. Unfortunately, I think that black cars that -3s a creature type kills it dead

do not want to play with this card, do not want to play against this card, not in constructed, and certainly not in limited


if you're gonna be an insurmountable advantage engine at least have the decency to end the game quickly

I have no earthly idea why the 3/3 transform is a plus and not a minus 1

before we go overboard keep in mind this deck was balanced last set. Aggro being especially weak is more the culprit than field is (though aggro being weak is absolutely something they knew was coming)

Cards that existed last standard that rotated out:
Alpine Moon
Field of Ruin
Blood Sun

Saying "The card was balanced last set" is meaningless when every good answer to it rotated

Also LOL at "Aggro being weak" Cavalcade is insanely fast

I wouldn't mind seeing Field of the Dead as a restricted card if Wizards would ever do that in Standard.

Field always should have been legendary. It's a field that zombies just pop out of, are there lots of those through the Multiverse?

Guys I solved the problem of Golos Field. The solution was so simple it came to me in a dream:

2x Revenge of Ravens.

I'm sure it's too slow/inconsistent but I kinda wanna make a Dmir duplicator deck with that as the anti-Field win condition.

No idea what the other win condition is but I bet I could burn some wildcards on jankbrew.

2 Ethereal Absolutions also but drat they are expensive at 6

How do you work around not being able to root snare and counter when you have rule of law out?

Nothing Fields is going to cast needs a counter more than you need to root snare. You eventually get a Teferi trigger on a Time Wipe and take back tempo

how does a questing beast even hold a sword anyway

My headcanon on Equipment has always been that the Equip cost is actually reforging and then binding the equipment into a form the particular Creature can use. IE re-forging Embercleave magically into steel claws or a steel mouthgard so the QB can wield it
