@Didros @Dippy half of the full box magic sets next year will be universes beyond. Final Fantasy, Spiderman, and unknown.
The regular sets will be the racing one, Tarkir, and the space opera one.

@mike @nokturne213 I fully agree from this, especially with corporate's push to minimize costs (aka employees).

@lovestha @andrew in Hasbro/WOTC's eyes, "the right amount" and "sell out immediately" are likely the same thing

@mike @blubfisch
I feel the same, though I do think it's correct for them to step in to create a shield if the community is going to be garbage like this. *sigh* This is why we can't have nice things

@luxyr42 @mike Obviously we haven't seen this enacted yet, but I wonder if it'll end up being similar to the Arena Historic Brawl ranking system.
I know Amazonian has run into issues where including a high-power card in a low-power deck bumps her up to a high-power tier despite playing a pile of durdle cards.
I guess that's what the conversation is for.
But also, there's never been a good way to rank commander deck power so *shrug* can't be worse than what we already have

@mike I think with the "shouldn't have been printed vs should be printed into the ground" thing, the idea is it shouldn't have been printed in the first place because it's bad for the format, which is also why it should be banned. But given the reality that it was printed, it should at least not be strongly gate-kept due to price, creating a high amount of inequality. Especially because that high price limits options later.

@driving_crooner @nokturne213 if it could have been anything like Arcane, it would have been fantastic

@andrew @MysticKetchup I'm also surprised they didn't ban around it. I guess it's because they originally intended it to just be a commander card, so they're okay with it not being in Modern?

@KoboldCoterie @MysticKetchup though between the Astarion and Karlach bundles, it sure is thirsty

@meant2live218 @mike maybe 3 standard sets plus the permanent standard set that they announced would work. If that's just 200 or so evergreen standard cards it would provide that extra bump

@Evu @silverchase I haven't read them yet, but they did announce that Jace wasn't actually going to Bloomburrow, and that art was from a special "imagine if Planeswalker 'x' went to Bloomburrow"series.

Besides, tomorrow is the big announcement stream. I'm sure they'll have more stories and a ton more cards spoiled in the next few weeks

@TheMagicer @Basilisk
😂 I personally see a T1 Sol Ring as a challenge from the universe to try and go 1v3 and take them all out by myself. It usually ends with me dying spectacularly.
