What are the obvious Pride candidates beyond Alesha? Does Ashiok qualify as an ally?I was considering that actually. Alesha, Kynaios ans Tiro, Chandra/Nissa (too soon?) idk. I don’t mind Ashiok. Seems appropriate. Sadly we don’t have Pavios, Thanasis, Hal or Alena as cards for our missing gay couples. I’m down for round 2 of Gay Kings. Wasn’t one of the Izzet walkers also gay? I don’t lore (but I do verb - it weirds languages).

Quote from Card Slinger J »I'm starting to feel as though Wizards of the Coast are running out of ideas as far as original set design goes in MTG. Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths just feels uninspired based on the product illustrations so there's really nothing to be hyped for until we have more information on the set. I would've went back to the main story line by covering the events that took place after Nicol Bolas's defeat in War of the Spark. Is Mirrodin going to end up like Dominaria where we just allow the Phyrexians to take over and never return? What about the possibility of Emrakul escaping from her Moon prison that Tamiyo sealed her in? Was Jhoira's Weatherlight crew ever able to planeswalk again like they did in the past when Sisay was in charge? There's so many plot holes that need to be covered yet Wizards of the Coast chooses not to do anything with them. War of the Spark was arguably the most original set that they released for MTG in a long time due to how they were able to market Planeswalkers in such a creative way that it was also a boon for weaboos. I'm not really getting too much of a Kaiju vibe from Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths when it's just Wizards of the Coast trying too hard to turn MTG into Duel Masters / Kaijudo both of which have failed because they were too preoccupied with MTG before they started working on the MLP and Transformers TCG's. Unless we get something that's equivalent to Shield Blasts or a mechanic where any nonland card can be tapped for mana I wouldn't hold my breath.
Quote from Boyachi »Saying there will be no Angels in Core Set 2021 is like saying there will be no Dragons in it either. There was an article a few years back about how they were going to treat certain creature types to certain rarities for each color. Angels were the big white rare; dragon for the red rare; Krakens/leviathans/octopi and such were blue rare; green or elemental or dinosaur or Whatever passes for a green rarest these days; and black was of course demons. But What if they made an angel moth type Mothra kaiju creature? Man auto speech does not work when talking about this stuff.
Quote from Rosy Dumplings »Personally, I think this is real. I looked up the Super Impulse brand and they seem to specialize in making teensy versions of other toys. Tiny Pac-Man arcade cabinet... tiny etch-a-sketch... tiny crayola crayons... something like this wouldn’t be out of place. If it really is a fake, props to the prankster for finding the one company that would realistically do this.
Quote from Creedmoor » Maybe they're foiling out the legend in the deck now that's usually not all of the required colors to be the general. Like uhh, Xancha, K'irrik, etc.
Quote from ilovesaprolings »maybe it's something partner-related? maybe not?
Quote from Elostirion(again) »So far it looks like "Ikoria: We're out of Ideas, so here's a Placeholder Set!" Which is understandable every once in a while but it comes hard on the heels of "Theros: We Didn't like our First Ideas, but we Shipped Anyway", which came right after "Ravnica: The Story Diverged from Play Design, but You Knew How It Would End Anyway", the third expansion in the "Ravnica: Why are We Here Again, Oh Yeah, Bolas has been Kicking Around For A Decade And We Kinda Forgot What To Do With Him" blocks. A company generally uses excellent product to distract during a transition to a higher concentration on its RoI. It looks like they're missing half of that formula...
Quote from Mishotem »I still think they're monocolor. They're meant to replace Planeswalker decks for the set, and they're mechanically tied to Ikoria. I don't think they're going to make these too complex.
Quote from WarMachinePrime »I'm guessing 499 reprints of bulk draft chaff with one chase rare/mythic. (Oh and 37 commander cards to milk those players) There are hundreds of cards that need reprinted across several formats and this won't even make a scratch. They should call it Bulkstart. A new player can start loading up on unplayable bulk outside the first game they mash these together. Real, meaningful reprints Wizards!!!
Quote from Charisma_Of_A_Dragon »Red has been the most represented color with ever since they stopped doing things in cycles in 2017. All other have 7 besides green that has 6. I think red will be underrepresented no matter what. They still have to fill the gaps of 2color and 3 color decks plus a 5 color deck. There won't be another jeskai or mardu or bant(which i mistakenly wrote) till we get abzan temur azorious golgari gruul azorious dimir simic orzhov and the 5 color one
isomorphed asked: I am suspicious about you being not allowed to seriously comment about "Heart of the Aether" Gideon. I am right? A: It’s not that I can’t talk about it, there’s just a lot going on with Magic at large and I didn’t want to misspeak. I talked to our liaison with the game and here’s what’s going on. Manastrike takes place in Bolas’s Meditation Realm and is largely a simulation. That’s why you can see Jace battling Jace, for example. This conceit allows the game to do some “what if” character skins like Heart of the Aether Gideon skin. You’ll see more “what if” character skins in the future.
Quote from Tiro of Meletis »After the backlash of The WAR I’m actually stunned they proceeded with this one instead of continuing to Eldraine. I’m not sure if Eldraine has enough material since it’s our first visit to a new plane, but definitely Theros on a second visit especially considering the first was three sets. Really looking forward to Theros

I’m not sure if Eldraine has enough material since it’s our first visit to a new plane, but definitely Theros on a second visit especially considering the first was three sets. Really looking forward to Theros To be honest I think there is a line between the novels and set itself. I actually really liked the war of the spark set and the story told in the cards but have no interest in the prose if that makes sense. War of the Spark and Throne of Eldraine have been my favorite sets since Tarkir. I really enjoyed the Wildered Quest though.
Quote from Mishotem »As for Chandra-Nissa, link some stories that concretely establish them as an actual couple instead of really good friends who depend on each other. I've been reading the stories on the main site for years now and all I ever got from it was that the two of them had a pretty deep friendship, but that's all it ever was.
"I've never spent so long in cities before," Nissa said. "Between Kaladesh and here, I've had more than my share of people." "You seem to be getting along fine," Chandra replied. Nissa shook her head. "I have gotten better at hiding my discomfort. Being around others so often is draining." "But not with us, right?" The question caught Nissa's attention. She watched Chandra intently unbuckle and rebuckle the same strap of her vambrace. Nissa frowned. Thought over her words. "Yes and no." Fiddling hands paused, while a meandering mind searched for the words to lend shape to unfamiliar feelings. "Friendship with all of the Gatewatch is still quite new. I'm still trying to understand what it means to have friends in the first place," Nissa said. Chandra made a small noise and looked out on the plaza, her posture heavy and leaden, her fingers suddenly quite still. Nissa continued. "On Zendikar, I was without the company of people for most of my life. The plane was the closest thing to a friend I had. Learning to trust has been . . . slow—and there is still much for me to learn. Understanding and sustaining friendships is daunting when one has never really done it before." Chandra shifted awkwardly. "So . . . friendship?" Nissa blinked. Chandra worked very hard not to stare. "Yes," Nissa smiled. Nissa closed her eyes, and took another deep breath, her headache receding. It felt good to confess insecurities. She smiled and looked Chandra in the eye. "I am thankful for your companionship. You have taught me much about what it means to be a friend, Chandra. It means much to me." "Right. Yeah." A soft smile returned to Chandra's face.
Quote from leslak »Quote from 5colors »Quote from DanzBorin »Ahh... Wizards pushing sales of product with lands is getting bad. It used to be once every few years, now it's multiple times a year. Enough already. You mean when they put them in unsets? I think he mean "on any product" cause full art lands were a big factor on the huge sales from Unglued, Unhinged, Zendikar(original) and Worldwake, Battle for Zendikar and Oath, etc (from a casual stand point(people that buy 10 boosters each set, more or less)) Now, since Battle for zendikar we had them in Amonkhet and hour, Unstable, the judge ones and other promos, Snow fullart, Nyx fullart. Maybe he is in a fatigue for fullart lands. Fullart lands are always welcome but ye they are really pushing theirs sales with fullart lands now (Theros collector's boosters and normal boosters, this, etc ) Also, just for people to be aware: Every pack with the 5 30 cards decks comes with 5 fullart foil (1 for each basic land) and 5 non foil fullart (1 for each type) the lands inside the decks looks to be normal lands.
