What a cool design for white resurrection. Why they never used it on a "real" card?

How i feel about competitive players and casual players in EDH: The competitive are german tourists, the casual are italian tourists, both in a italian beach. The italians asking themselves "why are the germans here?" make a legitimate question, the answer is because the beach is beautiful, no matter the country you came from. The italians wanting to ban the germans are dumb, because if the germans pay for their stay and follow the rules like everyone else, they have the right to be in the beach. Hovewer, if the germans started to ask themselves "why are the italians here?"... they would be dumb as hell.

I think it just a timing thing. They been leaning more into white resurrection as another form of card advantage more and as well as trying to make life matter cards having bonus effects since they tend to be weaker in commander, so this set just happened to be where this designed ended up.

Living Saints aren't angels. Just humans who extreme devotion to the God-Emperor Of Mankind gave them supernatural abilities from The Warp.
Yeah I am sure that there is a reason for her typing. That doesn't change the fact, that she looks like an Angel.
I don't know enough about Warhammer lore but I look up information of interesting characters. And to be honest, while reading her Wiki page she is at least called Angel one time. And her description (Holy light, retribution, halo of light, Wings of faith etc.) I don't know man... Sounds at least a little angelic to me. Sure she has some kind of psychic Powers and she was a human before she got resurrected. But my Point was that her Artwork is an Angel. I am certain that somebody will mess her typing up while playing. I mean valkyries aren't Angels either.
Can't wait for this to exist in 6-10 months when I can actually play it.
What do you mean? Wizards already said the cards won't be getting functional reprints.
Last I heard, in a previous post here, is that the problem cards are the ones with new creature types (tyrannid, necron, etc), but that they could do it just by creating a new creature type, this doesn't have that issue with it having two easy creatures and the proper MTG variant would be simple to do.
Of course they could stick with the whole "we can't do variants of 40k cards", but that would just be putting this on a reserved list, and I don't see that going all too well if they're going to keep running into this situation with UB and forced creature types.

They've reserved the right to print in-universe versions, but have not committed to doing so. This suggests that there are not currently specific plans for reprinting them, so 6-10 months might be a little short of a timeframe for seeing any, given that we've yet to see the Walking Dead in-universe cards that they did commit to printing.

We also haven't seen Zilortha either. WotC did say that about 6 months after (give or take) a UB comes out they would create Magic versions for The List.

Didn't they commit only after the negative reaction?
I think something similar will happen here, they will commit to "realprint" only if the decks are very popular and the secondary market prices go out of control. Which i believe they will.

They likely won't reprint everything all at once though. As Dontrike said, we haven't seen a nondigital print of Zilortha either.
It would also make UB look bad, less like a set of itself and more like the Godzilla treatment, which is what they specifically don't want UB to be.
So they will probably cherry pick specific cards to get a functional reprint over time. Exceptions, rather than the rule.
I'm looking forward to people having to keep track of which card is a UB version of which, which is relevant for highlander rules and naming cards with stuff like Scheming Fence. At least the Godzilla cards had their real MtG names on the card itself. UB was a mistake, lmao.

I wouldn't be surprised if they do all of the easy stuff (instants, sorceries, creatures with non 40k creature types) and then follow up with the 40k creature types and all of the specific 40k legendaries.

They mentioned how they have a plan later to make it easier to keep track of it, but it seems like that should have been done already.
At least the Godzilla cards had their real MtG names on the card itself. UB was a mistake, lmao.
Couldn't agree more. They should have just kept the Godzilla treatment, that was perfect for everyone.

I doubt it will cause too much trouble. People already have to track ban lists and format legalities when deckbuilding and these are easier because you only need to check when you find two identical cards and one is from a non-Magic IP. When naming cards, you can name the version they're playing. If you're naming blind, the card is a format staple and known.
