Lorwyn was basically a fairy tale block. It's basically old European fantasy stories for children mixed with The Hobbit. That's why I love it so much.
Funny, because The Hobbit was basically old european fantasy stories mixed with children's literature.
But yeah, i'm really sorry I missed the Lorwyn block, it seemed really lighthearted and fun.
I also love the mechanics of the Time Spiral block, I was just playing against a Suspend deck last night with all spiral/futuresight cards and loved the way it worked.
For flavor, they should just go back to Dominaria, and just (re)print things from the past and present of the 20 years, then kick off another start of crazy Magic shenanigans.
I would love a set that focuses around the humble foundations of magic but with the rules of today. Cards didn't really have a theme, they were just cobbled together with elements of high fantasy. Of course the core sets are basically these but they seem to lose a lot of nostalgia when the focus is on "the new big thing"
Obviously new sets need to have something new in them to sell to established players and a complete toning down of the power level that wouldn' impact standard for a full year is business suicide.
But I digress. I would love to see a return to Dominaria only because in my mind it is where magic began and with beginnings come simplicity. In actuality, I believe most (older) players(30+ somethings) don't really care what location we visit next October we just want a set that makes us feel like a kid again.

I only learned one thing in kindergarten: The bigger you were, the less you had to share!
Dominaria would of course own, cool plane really. Outside of that I'd love to see another Lorwyn set. Kamigawa would be cool, the flavor of that set is really really sweet.
