For me, as a veteran, it is, and always was, about the community, not the name. I'll go where the people I like to talk to, and the staff that did such amazing work, are going.
If the staff moves to Nexus, I'll follow, like I went from News to Sally 14 years ago.

Losing Miles had to hurt, indeed. I like your choice of team....playing with Miles and Phobeya together is one of my preferred combinations. Just add Harass and you got my fav "supervillain" team. But Sil is powerful with any high-damage super character.
Wholly forgot the Flamecaller,thanks, bro

"Brazen Thief" 2B
Creature - Human Rogue
Whenever Brazen Thief attacks, draw a card and lose 1 life.
2/2
The only TRUE retcon here is:
- alleged arranged marriage that caused her to manifest her abilities and be the cause of burning her village and people in it, that was later explained as Chandra dealing with PTSD and making the story up for Gideon instead of telling the truth.
Her relationship with Gideon was never truly explored deeper from either side, they basically slept together once on Diraden, when he provided her a support. Gideon definitely haven't seen her as a romantic partner ever, and if she had, well, that happens.
All other things are not retcons, just additionally revealed facts.
By the way, you are wrong about the regulator. It is mentioned in her origin story:
The elemental summoning, well, that is one so-far unexplored side of Chandra. But the fact we have never seen her doing it does not mean it was not there all the time. Also not a retcon, but an addition. We might as well learn that she caused some damage with elemental summoning along her life and that made her restrain from it.
Whatever. I'm not gonna repeat myself again.

Sometimes after the book was released, maybe in some podcast, interview, or on Twitter discussion. I am not able to find the original source anymore, sorry :-(

Instant (R)
Search your library for up to two creature cards with different names, reveal them, and put them into your hand. Then shuffle your library.
2GGG
Reach
When ~ ETBs, reveal the top 5 cards of your library, you may put a land card from among them into play. Put the rest into your graveyard.
When ~ dies, you may exile it. If you do, put another card from your graveyard on top of your library.
5/6
LOL, came to post the very same thing. Also, there seems to be a mutated Charmander in lower left corner...
I do not want to badmouth Avengers
It is not a masterpiece, but it does not deserve Jenrik's
Agent of Treachery 5UU
Creature - Human Rogue (R)
When Agent of Treachery enters the battlefield, gain control of target permanent.
At the beginning of your end step, if you control three or more permanents you don't own, draw three cards.
"The more secrets you have, the more easily you become my pawn."
2/3
Whaa whaa whaa, they neglected my favorite blue planeswalker....
And about 25 others, pal. Kasmina was not featured in the book at all, added just to Rat's story on the webpage. Ashiok not even that. Tibalt mentioned once. Tamiyo and Narset maybe three times, with no speaking part...shall I continue?
And the last sentence about Weisman is laughable. Check his record (what he has written) and then consider that he was given not enough time to write this novel and too much hares to chase. It is so cute to see self-entitled random
nobod-posters criticize established authors.I frankly hope that the sequel (Forsaken) would be better, because there would not be so many characters and things to solve.
Taken out of context, it indeed seems laughable. When in the chapter, that intentionally used the capitals to emphasize Bolas's godhood and situation he was in, it fits.
Well, Kamigawa (and Ravnica) were completely different kind of telling a story, a fact we have to accept. Godsend came close to the feeling of old novels, though there were also worse parts (also stemming from the fact that Jenna was forced to shorten the planned extent of the novel). But the thing is that these old books cannot be compared to War of the Spark, it is like you compared the Godfather trilogy to Avengers.
Temple of Mystery is reminiscent of the original (not the Clash Pack) version - but it looks like the "hands" are all that remained from the two huge trees.
Tarkir aven have only four limbs. Legs and wings. This one has hands. So it is not from Tarkir.
A friend of mine asked Django himself, and he said he got some outlines about the characters, but, for example, there was never mentioned that he is undead. Like the card Jarad, Golgari LICH Lord with the types ZOMBIE Elf never existed.
This is a big blunder of Creative or whoever gave him bad instructions and info...
The Jarad part is absolutely and totally f***ed up. He is absolutely NOTHING like his old character.
He sounds like a whiny despot, and one moment, he friggin' BLEEDS. A LICH.
Django really messed this part up. Not mention that at the end of Ixalan, Bolas told Vraska that Jarad is imprisoned for her in a particular place.
And there is not a single word about that in the book.
