Priceless treasures were definitely real. They weren’t especially printed for it. They were existing cards that Wizards gathered and dropped into the packs. I know someone who opened a very played black Mox. I don’t know what the odds were but they were very small and it was only in the first print run which was a lot smaller than today’s first print runs.
IF, and that is a very big if, this happens again the only way there would be any Reserved List cards is if they do it the exact same way. Drop existing old cards into the packs. That would be the only way to circumvent the Reserved List policy. They will not print any new RL cards.
Well not openly, we wouldn't really know though unless it leaked.
What do you think? Are gold, copper and bronze dragon overpowered?
The reason why I think it is is because of the D20 effect. Let's say you roll half of its potential, you'll get 10 flying tokens, 10 counters, 10 treasure tokens. If your opponents don't have removal in their hand chances are you win. On the other hand there are other cards that do that too, especially for 6+ mana...
Well, they're introducing guns back into mtg even after the fan's reaction to Portal 2. Was that even a thing?
Reminder new capenna was pretty close
I anticipate like New Capenna they will only be gun-like, with how messed up the US is, I doubt real-world representations of firearms is likely (I mean they didn't think fans would handle the word Corona on a card).
Nogi is gonna be a big EDH player for sure. Might be worth the price of entry alone if they do not distribute a promo or something like that. Have the Gamenight cards ever received other printings?
Calculating Lich was reprinted recently in the Balders Gate precon Party Time.
They actually banned a card? They could just make it 5/5 for 5R with no abilities, and it wouldn't be weird in this format where cards do whatever they feel like. This is the format of "Surprise, Black Lotus now costs two mana and produces two mana, woohoo!"
The argument was any change killed the combo which is why it was played so ban/adjust ends up the same, nobody playing it.
As someone who has spent time teaching kids games the main problem is the decision making. When there are less descions or easier descions the gameplay becomes smoother. Applying this to magic stick to cards with global effects and etbs, limit targeting and reactive spells. And straightforward mana curves, if they play the biggest thing each turn kind of stuff.
Things like countermagic and Looting is nearly always going to be handled worse than a vindicate or Divination.
That full art is weird, doesn't look like any smothering is happening and instead Scrooge grasping at another handful of his gold. Seems more like treasure token art.
It's abstract, the Smothering Tithe is what the player had to endure to obtain the card.
Kaalia is part of a cycle, expect Damia, Riku, Zedruu and Ruhan.
It may be a cycle in terms of there having been five of them, but they don't share mechanical similarities (like Lieges or Kamigawa Spirit Dragons), they don't have lore roles in common (like Dragonlords or New Capenna Bosses), and perhaps most important they don't share naming conventions (like Lieges, Dragonlords, Ascendencies, Ancient Metallic Dragons, Commands, etc). There's no reason to think they all need to be printed together beyond them all being decent three color cards (which to be fair seems like reason enough for this set).
Dockside Extortionist is pretty solid.
Well not openly, we wouldn't really know though unless it leaked.
Also Horsemanship is too close to unblockable in Standard/Modern - doubtful it would happen in a premier set.
Nope not overpowered, just a gatherer bug.

Sounds to me like you really want to play Flesh and Blood instead of magic, and I believe you would be happier for it.

I agree it feels like the teams are communicating less and less as the game gets bigger.

It hasn't been crunched out yet either between Settle Beyond Reality and Teferi's Protection.
I just checked a number crunch and the other 4 are not possible, seems I was wrong.
