Quote from Ree Wicker » I think the more silly thing is writers seem to have it down pat the ability to build up a romance, but then when the characters are finally in a relationship, the writers tend to flounder about and are unsure where to take it from there.
Quote from Humphrey »the famous black queen of medieval european tales and her all female knights army. yeah, sure wotc..
Quote from 5colors » It seems that Eldraine runs on a "divine merit system" and not hereditary. Algenus and Linden (both born in the peasant class) where picked by the Questing Beast to go on the High Quest to gain knighthood of the 5 courts and implies that Rowan and Will (as well as Hazel and Erec) would need to be picked by the beast as well. Linden also mentions the last rulers abused thier rule privilege and thats the reason they lost power. Funny enough its bright up by the people if she is up to ruling while the king is missing even thought most people have 1 knighthood and Linden had 4 knighthoods.
Quote from boombox_smk »I like it, but I have to say I don't like that they have to add Haste in the characteristics of each token. Couldn't it just say: create a red and white creature tokens with those characteristics and haste, or ...with haste and those characteristics?

Quote from OrzhovPlaneswalker »Quote from mikeyG »Quote from CatParty »Sultai makes sense to me since we haven't had it yet as a planeswalker, and this set will probably already have a Rx and a Ux walker in the form of the twins. This is honestly the most compelling argument for me even if I also completely understand why many think Oko is more URG aligned. Though I do think it's worth mentioning that a planeswalker's overall alignment doesn't necessarily mean their cards must always be represented by those exact colors (Ajani, Arlinn, and Tamiyo are good examples where they are aligned with various color configurations but aren't always printed in all of those colors all the time because secondary affiliations don't always make sense for individual card designs), so Oko may not actually be three colors when we get his card. Except that this set is Top down rather than Bottom up. Which means that WotC is less concerned with using narrative to explain the mechanical design they wanted, but rather they started with the kind of tropes and ‘feel’ of a set and built mechanics to reflect these. So apart from the colour and format balancing done in all sets (and someone already explained why this is rarely an issue in 3 colour) I don’t think they’ll be trying to fill any other holes in the larger meta, but rather they’ll be filling tropes.
