Not a fan of the art, but really dogging Tough Cookie for my artifact cube. It’s 2 artifacts/foods, a mana sink and a use for
food, clues or treasure, and a Golem that works with Splicers!

Agree on all counts (art too) but I will run it there + probably my main cube too...been trying to make artifacts a bit more viable there. This is a welcome addition, I think.
Eldraine's story starts August 8th. Preview 'debut' is August 15th when will start getting a bunch of cards. There might be a couple more cards seen before the debut.
Ixalan is releasing in November so story and debut will probably start in October.

Thank you. Did they said anything on spoiling all the sets name for the next months until next summer? Usually they do this on August, do we have a date?
Only one planeswalker per set?! And the one we get for Eldraine is Ashiok? Sigh...they really are doing just about everything they can to discourage me from new sets, aren't they?

Yeah, this anti-planeswalker policy really sucks. The fact they are fear to run out of design space only shows incompetent designers, I could make fresh and new PW designs for centuries even if they would make a new set every month if they hire me.

I think "we are worried about running out of design space" is a cop out, but I do think there has been too great a focus on them and there have been so many pushed ones that I am fine with taking a break from them.

No concrete date, but Maro did say all the products he teased at SDCC would be announced/previewed in the next two weeks so... Soon?

I guess the GenCon next week is what you seek. Either there or they will have a stream soon.

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.

Where'd they say that? They related it to the desparking in aftermath during the panel and the 10 in ONE gives them two years to do 1 per premier set without the number of planesalkers in standard dropping below an average of 3 per. Back in WAR, they said they waited to do planeswalkers with static abilities to preserve design space, but didn't let that stop them from making 40.
Don't worry, they will ruin it with nonplaneswalker legendary creatures (commander plug) due to omenpaths. There are already two or three confirmed for Eldraine...
Perhaps the Gatewatch didn't take off in popularity the way WotC hoped and deemphasizing Planeswalkers in favor of Legends will help with a potential movie or show. I can't imagine "Harry Potter but also Sliders" is an easy sell or "there are Jedi but a few Jedi are also walking Stargates."
Also, Commander is very popular right now and the "X can be your Commander" text looks clunky. So more Legends = more Commanders without that.
Just my two copper pieces. Sorry for people who really like them.

With standard format pretty much dead I guess commander sells more boosters hence more legendary creatures than planeswalkers.

Standard has been netdecking & pay-to-win for 20 years, so at least it's consistent. It'll always stick around in one form or another, mostly because that's the easiest way to encourage a local tournament scene.
Deciding to lean off the gas a bit with planeswalkers is a pretty reasonable decision; they were originally rarer, more influential figures, and that lent something more to their flavor impact. I can't blame creative for wanting to get back to that more, while still keeping them low-powered enough to be playable. I'm sure that dovetailed with more people getting sick of standard to play commander instead, though, and honestly I've been waiting for standard to quit being their primary driving force for set design.

Cheeseburger, french fries, chocolate shake, somebody's mind I's about to take!
The most interesting card here is River Song--drawing cards from the bottom of your deck rather than the top.
I'm honestly surprised it took the game THIS long for us to finally get cards that allow us to draw from the bottom of our library instead of from the top of our library. We don't see effects like this often in most Paper Trading Card Games / Collectible Card Games with the classic Marvel/DC Vs. System TCG being the main exception with a card known as, Thinking Outside the Box. It was an Ongoing Plot Twist that allows you to draw from the bottom of your deck instead of from the top of your deck.

Yup I was already annoyed by how many lost their spark now one per set really makes me care less about mythics. Easily one of my favorite card types I just hope they get battles back in fast to keep things interesting at least.

I think Saga are kinda replacing the PW design space somehow. They have similar functions but seems Sagas have much more design spaces, it's also more difficult they warp standard around them since they don't stick around a lot for their nature. The fact that they are putting almost 20 new sagas only for Dr.Who Commander decks is really telling.
So did I miss out on why Old Rutstein has a western style hat and duster?
Is that information still coming soon?
