Quote from Jay13x »Sure. But the timing seems awfully convenient, especially because they'd have known Jaya was returning while working on the set, and deliberately put in several pieces of Dominaria nostalgia (like Wasitora).
I remember reading somewhere, possibly on blogatog, that Wizards intentionally put tribes that would align with Standard cards (e.g. Cats and Vampires) into the Commander set.

I don't know how many new players you know, but all of the ones I've met will cram their decks full of suboptimal cards to try to get a spell like Coalition Victory to work because new players typically don't understand how manabases or manacurves work, they want to play with as many colours as they can get away with, and, as has been repeatedly stressed, Coalition Victory has "you win the game" right in the text box.
The Wildfield and Firewild Borderposts were the only mana rocks I allowed myself in my all-multicolour Mayael deck.
I wanted so bad to fit this guy in my Damia deck. But he just doesn't do enough!
