    Maro claims that they don't focus on commander plants, then you see this stupid white card

    Seems like a great ability for commander, but all it takes is one opponent having two more lands than you...which can be in a 1v1 as well lol.

    This just makes sense to me. I've always just considered them magic's version of lizardfolk anyway. On some planes they do look a bit more draconic but then again on Ixalan goblins look like monkeys and aren't typed as such.

    I agree that it probably has to do with the offspring mechanic making token copies (maybe even the 1/1 part) but not necessarily on death. The mana cost is in reminder text so I doubt it's being done in the Garth way.
    They are already appealing to furries hard with this set, so I unfortunately wouldn't be surprised if they made offspring have to do with "breeding" creatures Sick


    Why unfortunately? What do you have against furries? Also, anything that just have antropomorphic animals must have to do with the furries community? So also Disney, Warner Bros, Don Bluth and any animator, fairy tale or whatever must be furry propaganda in your head?


    Oh yeah they definitely do lol
    Like I don't care that people are into it as much as it's just cringy to me, but I know things I like are cringy to some people as well.

    Flavor text this bad is only used by Wizards of the Coast. That thinking cap's one is particularly awful. Yikes.


    A disproportionate amount of this set has been really rough with the level of cringiness. And this is coming from somebody who enjoys Un-Sets. But their flavor texts have been getting consistently worse over the last few years where it used to be a bad joke on one or two cards that might catch you off guard and be kind of amusing in its own dumb way.

    I hope this helps to show people that the test cards really aren't supposed to be considered real cards lol.



    ....eh? why so?


    I mean using the same name as one of the test cards shows that they aren't actual cards in consideration when making real cards. It's not to say that They don't often work within the rules and that not all are unbalanced, but those were just made for fun for MB draft and not tested and shouldn't be seen as real cards. Even unsets are officially play tested.



    And still, as one user already said, they literally made a test card a real official magic card (Enchantmentize ) so not only most of them works within the rules and are not unbalanced but there are real chances that some of them could actually be real cards and foreshadows of the future, because we have a real precedent. Sure, they are not play-tested like Unsets but still that doesn't say nothing about any single card being printable in black-border or not (as Enchantmentize proved). Sometimes, the card is just perfect as it is and it just need the right set to fit in.


    That's fine and all, and yet the playtest card Enchantmentize itself still isn't a real card lol.

    Lol basically the same flavor text as Zombie boa. I think at this point they should just cut out flavor text a lot of times. They usually end up repetitive and/or cringe.


    Yes basically the same flavor text as *squints* a card from 25 years ago.


    They have a lot of similar ones to others in general, though when I read that I'm like "haven't they used this already?" And I was certainly dating myself with the card I found that had it. But I'll still stand by the opinion that they shouldn't bother with flavor text most of the time for reasons of repetition and general bad flavor texts.

    Looks like they made a mistake with the cursed and wicked roles - the arts are switched!


    Apparently it was just an error on the digital mockup but I'm surprised they didn't fix it before showing the tokens again. I guess I'm actually not lol

    The Eriette flavor text is so cringy. Between that and the furry-loving knight I'm sure plenty of people will be super excited Rolleyes

    The worst thing that came out of this is that now people are just parroting "PInKeRtOnS" on every magic social media post.
