These are great! I haven't seen them but I like that the lid comes completely off. This might be it.
This is awesome, thanks for the share. I just used this to find Reckless Impulse, I remembered Wrenn's Resolve but couldn't remember the earlier one! Will be using this for sure down the line.
Curiously, as another test [[Thran Dynamo]] pulls up [[Ancient Den]] first and then [[Azorius Signet]]. I would've expected [[Worn Powerstone]] and similar straight up colorless rocks first. It's even worse at MTGAssist though, which shows [[Geode Golem]] (??), [[Sol Grail]], and [[Honor-Worn Shaku]] (???) first.
Questing Druid is just a straight upgrade over [[Quirion Dryad]] with just a bonus [[Reckless Impulse]] stapled to it!
These leaks so far are getting me excited for RUG adventure, hopefully getting some very nice additions for a commander deck I'm been trying to build there. Beluna Grandsquall is the obvious commander now but looking forward to perhaps some others.
I like the unbans, but this is about as close to "no changes" as they could get without explicitly making no changes. Really was hoping for more unbans at least!
The explanations are very thorough and it does feel like they have a pretty good handle on the current state of the formats, which is nice. I still think they're wrong about [[Orcish Bowmasters]] and to a slightly lesser extent [[The One Ring]] though.
I think Bowmasters is not fine in Modern/Legacy and I still think The One Ring is just going to increasingly become oppressive. Yes it's at their "4 mana threshold" and it's not one archetype dominating with it, but I think its ubiquity is probably a downside and that we're going to see it clogging up games everywhere. Really curious and interested to see how the formats evolve!
You’re totally right about keeping a positive attitude and I think thats a great frame to have, particularly when we don’t know much about the sets. It’s definitely how I’d like the general sentiment to be here.
I hate(d) to be negative in this thread but from what we do know (2 new IPs for UB sets and another Modern Horizons) it’s hard not to be disappointed; I understand others like them but I just don’t think they’ve been good for the game and I’m frustrated that so much effort is now going into them.
I’m hopeful about the two haunted house sets and Bloomburrow though.
Wow I legitimately thought this was fake at first. Bloomburrow looks like it could be fun but really not loving more UBs and what seems like 0 connection between sets anymore. Another Modern Horizons as well, yikes. Hate that just none of this really appeals to me.
My prediction (sadly) is no changes to any format.
I mostly follow Legacy and Modern and don’t think Legacy needs anything really. Modern, though, feels really unfun for me and has since MH2 really 😞 I’d personally love to see the evoke elementals eat bans, among others too as I just feel a lot of those designed-for-Modern cards were a mistake.
I’d also love for [[Splinter Twin]] and [[Birthing Pod]] to come back, admittedly because I love those cards and think they’d be really fun/fine given how Modern has changed.
Not sure how I feel about Bowmasters and The One Ring, I’d love to hear how others feel about these two. The One Ring feels way too pushed and like it creates a subgame as soon as it hits the board, quickly snowballing. I can’t see it eating a ban on Monday, particularly given LTR is still actively being sold, but I think it does have a target on its back.
