So after I got banned from this forum for a week (which let me question my further participation here), because some fellow members and the mods got nitpicky about the headline of the AKH spoilerthread Ill open this setdiscussion with a more open one and advice the opener of upcoming spoilerthreads to do so as well, so we can have a fluent discussion.
Actually I wss kinda surprised, that more or less grown ups cant just ignore opinions and posts they dont agree with and call for authorities. But lets move on and learn from it. (Ill ignore some from now on)
Keep in mind this threads main topic could have been about HOD, but I dont mind when we "derail" the discussion later into paupercube/general magic topics later.
That said, what are you guys expecting from HOD? In the "whats wrong with magic" thread ive read rumors that R$D is kind of aware that with their NWO doctrine limited and standard didnt become too exciting and theyll start some new set design directions with HOD. Sounds like we might get some strong commons soon, especially spells, since powercreep on creatures went overboard lately. (sorceries basically became creatures with ETB effects)
Im over it and discussed with the mods theyre way to loose with infractions but whatevs. Its sad some called for them in the first place. So lets get some hod speczlation going. A cc3 sweeper at rare already looks promising we also might get cool stuff
I think I saw someone mentioning how HOD is supposed to be a set where the movement to balance creatures and spells at lower rarities begins, so I am quite hopeful even if it means somewhat weaker creatures. The sweeper at 3CMC - despite its limitations - definitely seems like a step in the direction of taking more risks with non-creature spells.
I miss cards like Yavimaya Elder at common - multi-purpose utility creatures. I hope we see more of those; I don't think they go against the NWO? Maybe they're more complex (rule text-wise) than MaRo wants at common?
the elder is completely nuts though and one of if not the strongest green creature for midrange strategies. ofc i wouldnt mind more, but this card couldve been easily a rare.
the powerlevel of cards were purely based on the rarity lately, so i wonder if they gonna withdraw that recipe
He and I and a couple others had an enormous argument about card design (past vs present), because I necrod a thread responding to something a user named Izor said. You should look it up, it starts here: http://www.mtgsalvation.com/forums/the-game/the-cube-forum/pauper-peasant-discussion/773269-amonkhet-spoiler-thread?comment=183
(I actually avoid posting in the pauper thread because of something izor said to me once a long time ago, unless I'm misremembering. So I was a bit too happy to be aggressive because of that grudge)
A mod stepped in and I guess humphrey defended his case one time too many. Why I missed being banned or even infracted I don't know.
Can someone link to where we know that HoD is where we get new designs?
I don't think this thread is going to be a good HOD thread. I think starting a new one and not filling it with whines and nonsense would serve the forum better.

I dont know were the rumour is based on, probably a maro column. he also asked about iconic creatures on twitter, so maybe there is something going on.
NWO has nothing to do with powerlevel and R&D has been going above their target complexity since like Theros, so it has nothing to do with the playability of new common cards.
Awwwwww this was the one forum on this website that wasn't overmoderated to death. I remember it was daily infractions on the sale threads on this website for the most minor of things.
Its kinda up to us to have more open headlines to allow for sidetalk. That said guys, although this is one of those threads you shouldnt start spamming it with nonsense.
As soon as somebody suggests removing colours from the game they auto-lose the argument lol.
wait did that happen in the thread-which-must-not-be-named?
my fave moment was someone complaining about gideon's lawkeeper being a human and losing the ***extra special kithkin flavor*** of goldmeadow harrier, because apparently kithkin tribe is all about... uh... being a more mana-efficient version of something that had already existed for like ten years and was already on humans.
