Colorless mana is the final straw for the RC, so they're throwing up their hands, unbanning everything, and everyone can do whatever they want. It's the start of a new era in which games are dominated by Contract from Below. They're trying to all be in one location for the announcement as a show of solidarity.
I traded for one years ago, and everyone thought it would be worthless except for collectors value.
I'LL SOON SHOW THEM ALL!
Now all I need is some Chaos Confettis and no deck shall survive me. I'll even bring a small paper shredder to the LGS.
Kind of hoping that we're getting another Commander's Arsenal, but done right. Mass produced, all foil reprints of a few dozen cheap commander cards like Stonecloaker, Greater Good, Terrain Generator, Toshiro Umezawa, and other cheap but super good cards that tend to get overlooked. MSRP of $40 and availible at Walmarts and Targets and so on to keep it at msrp instead of shooting up to a minimum of $200 before release, and to keep something that would set legacy/modern players on fire to get a hold of from shooting up the prices.
While I dig the idea of another Commander's Arsenal, I certainly don't want it filled with cards that already have existing relatively inexpensive foils. Stonecloaker is $3, GG is $20 for the Judge foil, and Terrain Generator is $8. I guess Toshiro is $25, but that's a pretty narrow card that only people with Toshiro decks are gonna care about. I'd much rather see stuff with no existing foils like Pestilence or Mana Vault or Tithe, or staples that lots of people play with no cheap foil versions like Sylvan Library or Land Tax or Demonic Tutor or Gamble.
That's why I said a few dozen cards. I'd rather get a few dozen cheap foils than a super limited print run of already stupidly expensive foils and a $200+ dollar product that I'll never be able to buy. TBH, I hate how limited of a print run that Modern Masters gets and it's stupid $30 a pack when it's released pricing.
what could possibly be the impact of the change in symbol? It does nothing except differentiate colorless from generic. Wastes don't have a color identity so they can go in any deck.
The color generation rule changes colored mana produced outside of your color identity into colorless. This means that a 3 color player could tap a Darksteel Ingot to cast New Kozi, while a 5c player can't. (under current rules wording)
That's wrong. Colorless mana has no color. Darksteel ingot produces mana of any color. E
Edit: Oh I see, I've been defusing insanity on Tumblr so I jumped to conclusions without reading everything.
Couldn't it just say "you add generic mana of that number to your mana pool." instead of colorless?
[EDH] It's built to be a casual format and to a specific vision, and if you don't like the vision, there's nothing wrong with that, but it's not going to change to accommodate everyone. Big tent is not a goal.

Yeah, this interaction is a little too weird, I imagine we will get some tweaks.
Sell your cards now, folks. It's only downhill from here.
I hope they just axe rule 4. Sen Triplets rejoice and Celestial Dawn stops being a brutal lock if donated to non-W decks.
While that seems to be a unlikely scenario based on reasons the RC has given in the past for its existence, I actuall wouldn't mind it either. It makes sense for flavor reasons (almost anything does) but mechanically, I think it makes the game play worse in certain cases and in all other cases has no real impact.
bannings will now be based on polls conducted here
Bannings will now be based on artwork
Bannings will now be based on how many reprints the card has (the less reprints = banned)
BAnnings will now be based on a game of spin the battle or in the style as shown in the artwork for Look at Me, I'm the DCI

I'm now interested in "Reprints ONLY" and "No Reprints Allowed" formats.
All cards are treated as having no text. Effects are determined by stories explaining what's happening in the artwork. Stasis becomes a centralizing card in the new metagame.

The deck construction rules are undergoing a major shift for flavor reasons. Since EDH is a singleton format, it doesn't make sense to be able to run 4 versions of Jace in your deck, or Teferi, Temporal Archmage and Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir. Rules will be updated to say that every character in Magic can only be represented by one card in your deck.

Don't worry, you're not alone.
Guilty as well, although for not as long since weebo was a former mod.
Wait, maybe that is the reveal. They ARE one person.
Edit: And at one point they had near identical avatars and not intentionally.

We've never posted at the exact same time. Think about it.
The avatar thing was super confusing for a while though. I think the current situation makes it a little more apparent.

Yeah, our names are based on the same thing so thematic avatars are very similar.
I decided to embrace my plurality with a more colorful avatar to help differentiate us.
On this site I try to do as little thinking as possible. As your new Committee Overlord I will continue this tradition.
