    Pyreheart Wolf? I've never been more simultaneously certain and uncertain after looking at all the guesses. Turns out wolves all look the same.


    It is!

    I'm holding them accountable for taking pictures of cards that aren't supposed to be out yet and putting them up online, undermining Wizards' product presentation plan.


    This is absolutely a ridiculous statement. Consumers are in no way beholden to any secret plans that the producer has. Would you say the same thing about people who played copy cat in standard before it was banned? Wotc said they did not catch the combo, that they would act upon it, yet people continued to play it until it was banned. They were acting against the will of wotc, but I think to claim you hold them accountable for doing something wrong is silly.

    The issue here is one of packaging. If there are unreleased cards in a booster, it's 110% the printer's fault. To put any shame or accountability on the person who was cheated out of their Dominaria cards to receive a bunch of unusable cardboard is totally off base.

    We live in a digital world. News breaks within minutes. We know about global events as they happen. To imagine something like this happening and not being submitted to the cloud of the internet is absurd and retro-wishful thinking. If the person who opened these decided to not put them online for the same feelings you have, respect or fear of lawsuit or whatever it is, then fine. But buying a booster does not include signing a contract that you agree to abide by any future release plans of wotc.

    I get that you understand wotc's point of view, that if you're working on a presentation or project and part of it is leaked or whatever early, that can suck. But unless it was 100% not your fault that your plans were undermined, then you can only blame yourself, or blame the people you trusted to go through with your plan. Short of corporate espionage, there is always burden of blame on the plan-making party.


    I fail to see what a banned combo has to do with leaked material. Copy Cat cards were already standard legal. It was the most effective deck at the time, by accident, so of course players played it. Once the ban on Felidar Guardian was issued, players stopped playing the combo, thereby coorperating with Wizards. I'm not holding anyone accountable for that, barring Wizards' developers for not catching that combo sooner.

    I see your point about the Dominaria cards, but couldn't the person then have turned around and asked Wizards to replace their accidentally leaked cards with proper Dominaria cards? They might even have gotten a pretty nice deal as thanks for their consideration.

    I get that the pack was accidental. But once the person discovered the cards, they had a choice to make, and they chose to leak these cards online. Being in a digital age doesn't excuse you from having responsibility over the content you put out. The leaked cards in the pack were accidental, but nobody had to know about the leak. The owner could have quietly contacted Wizards via email, told them that some M19 cards were packaged in the booster by mistake, and requested some Dominaria cards as replacements in exchange for the leaked cards, which would be reasonable considering they bought a pack of Dominaria in the first place and would be taking action to help Wizards avoid leaks. And if Wizards didn't replace the cards, which would technically be theft their part as their customer would be getting cheated out of product that they paid for, then they'd have email and a mailing receipt as proof that the exchange happened. That's something you could put out on the internet to force Wizards to keep their end of the bargain for PR's sake.

    On the other hand, Wizards could also choose to let the person keep the cards and give them formal permission to preview the cards so then it's at least cooperating with Wizards.

    At this point, I think we've argued enough. I'm obviously in the minority yet again and there isn't anything to gain from continuing this discussion further. The damage is done and most people here don't care.

    Enjoy another batch of leaked cards, everyone. I'm out.


    OTHO, there's literally nothing juicy here. All these cards scream Core Set by their technical functionality, there's no new keyword, no new shiny mechanics or game-changing card. They could even have previewed these cards themselves upon announcing the Core Set without impact on the hype or so since these are the cards that are not even typically previewed even.

    This said, you are certainly entitled to your opinion, which deserves respect like any other.

    Pretty sure it's Jester's Cap, though the artwork is not FTV-exclusive, ninth edition had it too.


    Oh, indeed, how come I don't remember Ninth Edition :p

    Your go!

    No it's not, the color are quite respected in my picture, the art quality much less. It's an alternate illustration from a supplemental product though!

    Should I be concerned about you?


    Not anymore since she's my ex. Anyway, I like that new art direction so I tried my approach:
