I don't think tribal/artifact should be visited again any time soon. Artifact is already the most popular theme in this format, and we've been getting enough generic tribal cards for the past few sets. I wouldn't mind a visit on rarely seen tribal though, if it manages to deviate from anthem/token effects.
I want more combat oriented legends, or cards that'd make combat more viable in multiplayer games, so control/combo won't be such a problem. Saskia was a good attempt, but Edric is more persistent.
This I can get behind, and dare to imagine if all four decks certain around a plane. For example, Kamigawa theme decks might be samurai, ninja, spirits, and Umezawa's gang.
We are syncing!
I actually like a blurred precon, because it allows more diverse legends of the same color identity to be included in the same deck. A focused theme would be easier for new players to get into the game, true, but as an older player I don't mind seeing a deck with seven different new legends, roughly overlapping each other, but could stand on their own.
This.
I'd like to see more partners. Diversity is fun, and unpredictability more so.
AND, partners with weak "eminence" effect that only exists if the other partner is on the field. Imagine frontline and back row battle formation. The effect power level would be in line with partners usually. For example, Legend A might be "Back Row: During each of opponent's upkeep, if ~ is in the command zone and you control a creature with partner on battlefield, untap up to one permanent." And Legend B on battlefield might have, "Frontline: Whenever ~ untaps, if you have a creature with partner in your command zone, add GG, this mana does not blah blah blah."
In this design, not only you need to mix and match partners base on colors and in-play abilities, you also have to consider the "eminence" effect that may or may not work with this particular partner. Further, if you have a third creature with partner (not necessary have to be legends) in your deck, you could trigger both eminences in the command zone. It gives out a feel akin to an RPG adventure team or an army where you could arrange who tanks and who supports, and who you might sacrifice intentionally to return them to command zone just to trigger the eminence effect.
Nor would I ask you to take it back. What's said is said. You listed valid points in your post and my complaint was mostly a moral one.
And I thank you two for clarifying the story behind this transition, and the challenges your team had to go through.
Thank you. So the moment a blocker is assigned, the attacker is considered blocked, even if I cast CR at this point?
You are correct, it could've been pure white. When I made the card I was imagining the negative impact of a real world "ignore list", therefore added red/black to it. I forgot that white alone could be malicious and unforgiving on its own. Thank you.
I thought we're keeping this site? Are we losing it?
1WW
Enchantment - Aura
Enchant Permanent
Enchanted permanent has “Each other permanent has protection from this card.”
Enchanted permanent can’t be sacrificed.
———
An obvious reference to internet culture, Ignore List puts a permanent on hiatus at default, but also has other application such as Pestilence, since Ignore List doesn’t protect players from the permanent, allowing Pestilence and similar cards to become a direct damage source.
Flavor wise, Ignore List isn’t just about internet, but also about school/office bullying. A person on an ignore list isn’t dead, people just look away from him/her, at best it’s a troll neglected, at worst it’s a bullied child who were intentionally denied, shamed, deprived of social status, therefore the "can't be sacrificed" clause.
EDIT 1: Per BlazingRagnarok's suggestion, changed cost from WBR to 1WW.
There's always the surprise factor, though I prefer WotC prints an improved version of Lightning Rift.
Iona is pure suppression, don't need her ever.
Painter could be dangerous though.
