For what it's worth, a recent Command Zone ep mentioned that Maro specifically addressed this card, explicitly saying mono-white could have extra combat effects within the color pie, so it is not incongruous with their current hybrid philosophy.

You know, I've been looking for the right Bracket 1 deck idea for a while now, and I think I finally found it.

I’m not sure it will ultimately matter a lot to them, but it does matter a lot to us.

Nintendo has been particularly bad about stuff like this in recent years - the Legends: Z-A embargo said you couldn’t show WEEDLE despite them randomly being everywhere early on and Beedril already being announced.
Extra frustrating given the entire game had leaked before codes were even sent out 🙃

Could also be they are just covering their backs against shenanigans with Werewolf Pack Leader and stuff like Maskwood Nexus, since that does provide a relatively easy way to remove "Human" as a type specifically (and even gives Trample).

Oh man, I got to play with Chaos Orb for the first time at last year's CubeCon and it was so fun!
Wildest interaction was using Manascape Refractor to copy my opponent's Academy Ruins to recur it every turn. Extremely mean stuff.

P1P1 if every Magic card ever printed is on the table? (Let's also assume the deck you'd want to play it in is generally supported in the rest of the draft, not just chaos after that pick.)

Oh! Especially because I am only just learning that you also did this exact same thing for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 last year!
This is clearly not a "scraper error", @opencritic.bsky.social, so could you please remove that one too?
