I have a cube that I designed with a similar method and it worked out well there, so I'm hopeful that the draft format will actually be interesting (for a core set).MaRo's article explains drafts are based on wedge colors, focused on the ally colors. That is to say white and blue are focusing on flying creatures, with red as additional support (seen with Flame Sweep).
I don't expect any rare duals in the core sets going forward. Core sets are the sets in standard for the shortest amount of time, so they're the worst place to put mana base cards. I expect to mainly get duals in the fall sets and then in one of the two following sets.So likely another set of allied rare lands, huh? (if we get any at all)

I do expect them to print the common dual lands randomly in the land slot for all core sets going forward just like with M19 as a way to keep them in standard perpetually.

I think it's because it's considered the Ultimate in power level.
I wonder if life gain will ever be standard viable. Seems like they push it enough for it to be super casual but never enough for it to be good.
This is a "preview" card with a graphic designed to generate "hype"
Much better than homarid explorer tbh. This is a solid limited card.This is a "preview" card with a graphic designed to generate "hype"
Yikes.
FYI, our Discord is on semi-lockdown due to people from Old GAF attacking other Era Discord servers.
It's fine, I guess, it's just not something I'd throw on a graphic. I'd probably drip this one out with no fanfare. It feels like someone was just excited about the name and they gave it a preview slot because of that.Much better than homarid explorer tbh. This is a solid limited card.
This is the first I've heard of since Era was created, really. I didn't think anyone would care about us, but some people were worried.
I was going to say that it's been since Masques in 1999, but I forgot that it was a Timeshifted card in Time Spiral
Shocked to see this, since it's been forever and a half since this was in Standard instead of Naturalize.

Wonder if they have decided that this should exist and not Naturalize for the foreseable future, or if this is a fun one-of
Well that's a middle finger to Thought Erasure/Grixis/hand disruption
That's a promo, yes. Booster packs will be the normal frame.What's the deal with the fancy frame on these guys? Are these promos and packs will contain normal versions? Did WotC just decide to pimp out random uncommons?
Don't you still need something that gives you massive lifegain? That's like half the deal with the Citadel/Explore pakacge so you don't die after playing 5 cards lol.The odds of having leyline in your opener goes down the less copies you run but it's a truly abysmal card to have 2 of. Hopefully if there's more they aren't all binary effects, or that there's a lot of looting and rummaging going on to ditch unwanted extras for easy value.
Risen reef might give bolas' citadel combo some life post explore package rotation since going off requires you to be able to chew through lands on the top.

I'm going to guess we get a Leyline in each color
The big question is if Leyline of the Void is back again, or if they create a new black one
Some interesting spoilers so far. Disenchant, Thrashing Brontodon, Leylines... looks like they're printing some pushed artifacts and enchantments. Not seeing too much yet that'll shake up the constructed meta.
I've had a real hard time finding my footing this season in Mythic, but after making a few changes to Bant Ramp I've pushed from 93% all the way to #243. Really liking this build https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/2012662#arena
Very well actually. All of its abilities are strong even with the nonbo; if you can stabilize with it, it usually just wins the game. Nissa and Teferi still provide a lot of value with their statics compared to other planeswalkers and it helps you find a big Jellyfish or just beat down with +1/+1 creatures.
It's a nightmare in terrible decks just the same. Just a stupid card that is no fun for anyoneI can tell you right now that Bolas's Citadel in EDH is a fucking nightmare for people if it resolves in the right deck. If you can make that work in Standard I might have to build a deck and play some matches.
The owner of the targeted creature.
Carnage Tyrant can't be countered, so Flashfreeze wouldn't work on that. This does.The owner.
Sign me up for Leylines, I'd like Anticipation that's specifically worded to nullify Teferi. I don't know how that would go, "this ability can't be disabled"?
I see color hosing, I wonder what they're planning for... that card isn't good enough, was Flashfreeze too much to ask?
This is an odd one, pinging whenever an opponent uses spot removal.

The next one is Ravnica "block" constructed. Basically you can only use cards from GRN, RNA and WAR instead of all of standard. That's the final one.Is there another week of weird game types in Arena or is the Counters thing the last one?
