A lot of very good albums came out when I was 16, but.... in my heart I think the most perfect might have been the Soubdtrack to the Live Action Spawn movie.

Oh sure, and look i definitely want to put Afterlife Insurance into my Ayara deck, but thats not the *entirety* of the thing.
I mean I could swap to Elas Il Kor and basically not change that deck much at all.
But...would I?
Elas has acces to TefPro. And Farewell. And smothering tithe...

I wonder how the art direction for the Fallen Empires style 4 card arts worked.
Did everyone get the same brief?
(If so, Where did the wolves come from?)

Im a big fan of fuckin around with commanders rules to see where people go.
Like, who would y'all build if every monocolour legend got to choose a background? (They lose partner if they had it)

Yeah prior to 2010 the colour identity was defined by the casting cost only, and you couldnt generate any coloured mana outside of that.
So in 2009, Tatsunari would have been mono black, with an ability you could never activate.

I would personally argue that the core of commanders identity is playing a commander you resonate with, and theming a deck around that identity, and im not 100% convinced the best way to do that is to push people to play Elas Il Kor rather than Ayara just because they love Afterlife Insurance.

Did.. you miss the part where they asked for community feedback?
But youre right, wizards gets the final say.
Which is why they changed the colour pie when they realised it didnt work for mono black commander decks.

The colour of the *card* is both, the pips never are.
A dimir hybrid adds one devotion to black, or one devotion to blue.
but in the case of say, phenax, it can never add one devotion to black *and* one devotion to blue.

My favorite card in my Gisa The Hellraiser deck was pulled out of a 29 year old shoebox.

I disagree with TMNT neccesarily hitting the same problems as Spiderman in regards to flavour.
Sure, the pizza lands and some of the cards will grate but others will slip right into an MTG deck and not raise any eyebrows.
