Quote from Ernart »I hope were getting proper tribal theme here again
Quote from xaltair »This set will have more in common with frozen from Disney than with shadowmoor, knowing wizards' modus operandi.
Quote from Sunspotter »Any speculation on what the dual-sided mechanic is going to be? That's a pretty steep ability cost for a 1 mana 1/2 to have, so i'm wondering if it'll have any sort of cost reduction integral to it (hence the split)
Quote from Bhogal83 »I've gotten used to WOTC pandering to the identity politics left, so it no longer bothers me.
Quote from Eventide Sojourner »The end of paper Magic tournaments is nigh. All the "pro" events and qualifiers will be through Arena starting in 2020. Profit margins are higher, and there's no need for judges or TOs, or to scrounge enough physical product on hand to supply players and have prize support. I would also not be surprised if the announcement stated that "Throne of Eldraine" will be the last paper Magic product.
Quote from Igzex »The passive effects weren't horribly oppressive and you had good incentive to actually risk casting these cards to the field.
Quote from Igzex »you really can't compare giant growthing a cat each combat step to draining everyone with Tendrils of Agony in a number of turns that one could count with one hand.
Quote from Ryperior74 »Populate being WURG would be even better
Quote from Ritokure »If this is true, I wonder how they are going to fit in characters from Magic's past. Considering how popular said characters are and how consistent they have been with this even outside Commander, this would be a no-brainer, so which ones could fit thematically with each ability? Populate: Gaea, Mat'Selesnya, Kristina of the Woods Flashback: Ashnod, Leshrac, Sifa Grent Morph: Belbe, Ugin (Pre-Spark) Madness: Anje Falkenrath, Ramaz Just some rough ideas, of course. Any others I missed?
Quote from Igzex »The eminence abilities we have now are nothing to really complain about and kinda surprised to see them get so much hate now. I mean, I get it feels psychologically annoying that an opponent has an advantage that you can only remove by taking control of it from the battlefield or bouncing it (Or resorting to Mind-slaving and exiling their commander) but like, it's for the most narrow and casual of things. Ur-Dragon and Arahbo are for meme tribes that will never, ever be taken seriously. (Cries into my Ur-Dragon playmat) Inalla and Edgar are the most pushed but still far from the most annoying thing even in casual. M'Odo doesn't count he's your typical stupid fan designed card that one person actually happens to physically own. Honestly though I'd rather see something new rather than Eminence, but I don't hate it or outright consider it a blight to the format. We've seen how pushed something made for commander can be and none of the current eminence bearers are close to it.
Quote from DirkGently »I'd love Not Tribal. Whoever did the design on arixmethes, xantcha, and varchild can do all of them this time around.
Quote from Faruel »Quote from ilovesaprolings »Quote from Faruel » You actually don't have to sit there for 2 hours. There is rule 104.3a: A player can concede the game at any time. A player who concedes leaves the game immediately. That player loses the game. And if the other players at table don't do the same you have to wait until everyone is finished for the next game Isn't that the same problem when losing to aggro, voltron, poison or when being focused?

Quote from BlazingRagnarok »Finally, there's also the option of abandoning putting the counters on the commander entirely. To preserve interactivity, all of the commanders could put counters on permanents already on the battlefield, like Anastasia does.
Quote from HugSeal »It is still a dumb uninteractive overrun imo, but atleast not as repeatable.
