Quote from Caranthir »Quote from Tiro of Meletis »Quote from ashrog »Quote from WarMachinePrime »Quote from Simto » I can't imagine how disappointed everybody would be if they don't have snow mechanics in a Viking themed set. Would be a massive flavour failure for sure, but it does look like snow is coming Like Zendikar without Eldrazi. Yep I went there. Why so much hate for the first 2 Zendikar sets?Because neither of them managed to have the right focus, and almost entirely in service of limited and draft. BFZ - focus was Allies or Eldrazi, emphasis on the latter, and not the plane. ZNR - focus on weak limited tribal aspects and not the plane. Players have repeatedly requested a Land, Landfall and Adventure World (Quests, Traps, Expeditions, etc.) set and we always end up with weak tribal trash instead. I can't believe how many times since the original WOTC got Zendikar wrong. We return a third time and STILL no Adventure World tropes? Newsflash for you, Jenrik... modern sets are all designed for entertaining Limited play primarily. And having the party and exploration theme in ZNR, and saying "STILL no Adventure World tropes" makes you look silly. I can't believe that in all these years you are active here, you still did not grow up from your "it is bad because I do not like it" attitude.

Quote from WarMachinePrime »Can't get here fast enough for me, I'm so over this last iteration of Zendikar.
Quote from Ryperior74 »https://www.thegamescube.com/catalog/magic_products-magic_pre_orders/kaldheim_set_booster_box/624717 Looks like ships are in kaldheim so that means crew is probably entering as a returning mechanic which could also mean the sea monsters known in noise mythology are probably here Also there seems to be a drake or dragon in the background Yeah it will be a matter of time before cards get leaked
Quote from WarMachinePrime »Quote from Ernart »Anything that is hard to fake is better. Specialized foil are decent against counterfeit. Agreed. But that doesn't mean the cards have to look like they took a belt sander to them. WotC is trying, I give them that. But these etched foils are a miss in my book. The community has been on WotC for curling foils for years and this appears to be one of those cases of "be careful what you wish for you just might get it."

Quote from CatParty »Meh, I prefer Rebecca Guay's Enchanted Evening - Seb's art is always too dark in tone (hence all his black commissions, I guess). I do like the Damnation Inferno art though. Amazing.
Quote from Xcric »i absolutely loathe etched foils. here's why: they're too dark. there's no nuance to the foiling as its applied to everything. emphasis on anything just lolfoil. they're grainy as ****. did i mention they're grainy as ****? they're grainy as ****. they photograph really well, but to look at them with the naked eye they look like *****. edit: oh! i almost forgot, they're more difficult to read because the text box is dark with white writing instead of light with dark writing. it draws the eye to the background, which is busy with the set symbol, instead of drawing the eye to the actual text.
