Tiro of Meletis posted a message on Zendikar rising first look on July 25th

Eldrazi are horrible. Ruining a beloved plane. An unpopular concept (Eldrazi) vs. a popular concept (Adventure World). WOTC literally has Zendikar vs. ROE and Zendikar vs. BFZ/OGW - two sets of data confirming that Eldrazi is not liked, while Adventure World is loved. They suffer from Kami unpopularity of just being these abstract, intangible, unfamiliar eyesores that don't resonate, especially in the large numbers in which they were delivered. From the beginning, it should have only been the Eldrazi titans, and when defeated, that's it. Emrakul twisting life is fine, and was done well in low numbers in SOI/Eldritch Moon, showing her influence without corrupting the Innistrad feel. But players have had enough of this unpopular concept. Save it for a Commander deck or something, where its niche fans can appreciate it would compromising an entire plane and block.

It’s possible sorin will need Nahiri, Nissa and Jace to deal with Emrakul and an allegiance somehow forms in this set. Perhaps sorin pays his dues by helping rebuild Zendikar

Not really a fan of Kane’s art

Me either, and I’ve been playing since Legends.
However, I’m happy to see WotC using him again just for the nostalgia.
I feel you. I'd love to see Rebecca Guay.

I’m not sure about box EV and I realize some rares are a major miss, but the set overall looks like rather good value as far as I can tell. Assuming two packs go for 16, which is 8 each and cheaper than 10 for other sets I suppose.

Yes! I needed a Deepglow Skate. It's a common in this set? I hope so

Tiro of Meletis posted a message on [2XM] Unoffical spoiler - Riku of wo reflections

The card quality in Double Masters looks good. I love how saturated the ink and colors look. Cards look sturdy. Wish I had sold my Riku now, since I prefer this updated one with the legendary border. Will need to pick up one.

The upshift is so painful. I am so sorry for those buying boxes. Many selections for the set are so good, but others... ugh. So polarizing.

Should have been Kalonian Hydra of all hydras. Or at least primordial. Sigh

No Eldrazi. BOO!!!

At least some remnant Eldrazi would have been nice. My interest is waning.

Do you want WotC to commit suicide? Because, seriously, a whole bunch of fans would tear them to shreds if they saw even a single eldrazi in this set. I'm afraid you're going to have accept the fact that you are going against the grain here.
I agree. I can't imagine anything I would be more critical about than that.

Eldrazi on Theros?
ffffffff

Thankfully, there's no reason for that. Same with Phyrexia.

Quote from Simto »
It's not that the new art is bad, the old art for Hanna is just a millions billions times better.
Agreed. Although I'm not really a fan of Rallis's art in general. Didn't need new art but it works I suppose, since they'll sadly be phasing out Terese.

With that art looks like I'm finding a place for Mana Reflection in my decks
