Orzhov for sure!

The problem is that universes beyond takes up over 50% of Magic's releases for next year, and it's doubled the size of standard's card pool (in addition to the increase in standard's pool size when increased from a 2 year lifespan to a 3 year lifespan). The UB issue is mostly an issue for standard

Oh these are cool, I hope the Orzhov ones are just as slick

Did you guys already get someone to snag this? Otherwise I would be interested depending on the price :)

Out of all the magic colors, only 300 green cards? That's kinda surprising

the card names rather than flavorful effects of the cards to protray the burst of nostalgia they wanted to inflict. And I believe that is because they knew this would be designed as both Spider-man and Through the Omenpaths, so they couldn't go as in depth with the card's effects as they wanted

Hm, I've not seen many people accuse it of being a soulless cash grab, but I still understand your point. My biggest issue with the set is it just doesn't feel like "Spider-man", there are cards that do have effects that are sort of reminiscent, but it really does feel like they're relying on

game changer lists dictating the bracket of a deck. I think introducing a points threshold for each bracket would make things easier and more tangable for new and returning players alike.

to play, which is a great side effect and leads to a healthier game environment, but it doesn't truly make thing simpler for new players. I think the way Canadian Highlander works with points value for cards (like the initial suggestion for the bracket system) is genuinely simpler than the ban and

The Bracket system is starting to become an oroborous of complexity; We've tried to simplify the system to make it easier to new players and in doing so, we've made it more complicated to get into edh. It mostly works with experienced players and opening up to conversation about the game we want
