I agree with Fairy Tale World. I don't think D&D is appropriate for Standard as Standard is too limiting of the cool things you could do. I also don't think they'll print silver-bordered cards into standard as you suggested as that's confusing.
That's too much overlap in black BW B and GB planeswalkers makes little sense
So then maybe no Garruk? Kaya and Lili will cross paths eventually so that's a given combo. Still, the three of them represent three colors though even if it's weighted toward black, and I could see a red and a blue walker rounding out the sets 5 cards if this is the story they wanted to tell. But I'm just guessing here
I'm leaning Fairy Take Work too. Minimal ties to the main plot outside of a Gatewatch character going on an adventure there. Just a "breather" set with lots of theme and some light story - something like Innistrad.
D&D is possible but I can't help feeling that it's really, really lame. Particularly since they'd be doing one of the more basic, generic worlds. MTG worldbuilding is so much better than D&D worldbuilding it's not really even a competition.

A D&D crossover seems like the kind of thing you'd do as a supplemental set or something instead of into standard, yeah? Like doing the Commander precons with Fighter/Thief/Wizard/Cleric/Druid themes and D&D referencing original cards, or something like Archenemy and Planechase, or a special booster product like the Conspiracy and Battlebond stuff
I want an Australian plane so we can get gnarly platypus creatures and stuff

I think you could do it as standard, but doing a supplemental set where drafts are dungeon crawling sounds so much better.
I don't think it'd be an outright D&D set, but something like D&D - adventurer world, basically, like Zendikar was at one point.
Didn't Maro say they wanted to move back toward "land + adventure world" for Zendikar, though, after BfZ underwhelmed? Would kind of be muscling in on that territory - I don't think BfZ did badly enough to toss Zendikar in the Lorwyn/Kamigawa box.
I only hear good things about the plane itself. As someone who missed it both times, I'd love to do Zendikar more than any other established plane except Lorwyn.
I LOVE when blue players sit there for a solid 30 seconds when the Ceratops hits, then concede.
Honestly, I'm into this. You could do a cycle of commanders with Level Up abilities.
I think Zendikar as a plane is popular and well loved, despite BFZ being a miss. They'll be good to go back to it without the shadow of the Eldrazi holding its admittedly unique flavor down.
So I'm running a dinosaur Dick right now for fun and ranging raptors really has incredible value against all the red players. They have no way to remove it without giving me a land which means that I'm ramping up into big dinosaurs they can't remove easily very quickly.
Fuck dude I wish. I run into it every third game in Diamond BO1
Idk what you guys play but mono red is my MOST common enemy tied only by maybe Esper Control
? Is it less of a problem in Mythic? Cause BO3 is trash and I refuse to touch it again so BO1 only for me
If it doesn't do 5 damage for 1 mana it's isn't a good burn spell for Firemind :v
Oh. Man fuck BO3 it's nothing but Blue/Black as far as the eye can see. It's no fun to play there
I encounter esper probably once every seven games.
Yall are too focused on the decks you hate.
I don't. I'm not exaggerating. I played 10 games and tracked it to show a friend.
4 were esper
1 mono red
1 was a golgari reanimation [neat]
1 was mono blue flier
3 were elementals
40% esper is nuts. Plus 8/10 having blue. I'm sick of blue man
The worst part of Arena is that you just run into endless meta decks. At least at FNM you get to play against a lot of fun homebrew decks. There's no incentive to be creative on Arena because the economy forces you to commit to a deck early and it's very difficult to pivot to anything else.
True. Just shifting from Gruul Midrange to Gruul Dinos has been hard for me and that's using the same shocklands, etc.
I wish you could bunk down rarity in wild cards. I've got more mythic than rare cards to spare because you need so few mythics and so many rares for a good deck.
In 70 games from gold to D1 I've played exactly 4 Esper decks. It's really not very popular right now, Risen Reef decks eat it for breakfast. Besides if you're on Gruul, Veil of Summer just wins that matchup.
Commander 2019 deck themes
They printed two colour hosing cycles in m20 and the best from both are for green sideboards against blue. Maybe you should keep trying bo3, magic as god intended.
Nice! I wish I could have made it to Dallas. Hopefully they do Houston or something early next year.
I didn't say I lose to it I just said it's not fun. Ceratops and Veil make it an easy win it just isnt fun

I'm top 1000 mythic playing only bo3 and I run into esper maybe once every 8 matches. There's a pretty good variety of decks going on right now. Lots of people trying out new stuff

Best thing to do IMO is just grit your teeth and play bo3 until mythic. Ranking up is faster in bo3 because of the loss forgiveness. You get to a new tier at +3 wins instead of +6 and get to potentially cash in again
I might once my dinosaur deck is done. It handles Esper better due to Ceratops and co
What a piece of shit.
Edit: it seems the woman fought him off according to what I read. Good for her. Fuck this guy.
Met him at pax a few years back and thought he was a nice guy. What the fuck.
I came into this thread because I was watching Caleb stream and somebody mentioned "did you see what happened to Conley Woods" and I was like "huh?'
Well now I know and Jesus Fucking Christ >_<
I had stopped following him a while ago because I felt he was kind of becoming annoying/off-putting but I never would have seen this coming O_O
