    "brutal weapons never seen since..."
    We literally saw them the last time we visited the plane
    Feel like this flavour text would have been way more effective with a new art... and a bigger crossbow

    Geralf fans, don't worry: his new card is in Crimson Vow.


    That would be cool!

    You really want to reach that there are zero possible answers, but that’s more about your lack of imagination as opposed to any reasonable stance. *shrugs* It’s moot though.

    That tends to happen after 10+ years of establishing canon. You can't just wash it away with a single stroke.
    If by lack of imagination you mean that i don't accept "look! New gods!" bull***** (hardly a reasonable stance), so be it and i'm glad that is like that.
    You are just a storyline-ignorant who doesn't care about any pre-established canon and would be happy to gobble any retcon wotc attempt.
    Not moot until you present a workable reason to completely re-establish the rules of the plane with the most established lore/canon. Which yet you didn't.

    Will they put werewolves in all 5 colors? Weird choice

    And here it is, the Limited-ruining mythic. Wonder if it has a home outside of Limited and Commander.


    I'm not even sure about commander. Tarmogoyf is extremely weak here, having multiple tarmogoyfs for 5 isn't really a good deal. It will just be played in ooze tribal... hoping that the new legend will be good.

    We are speculating about something that may not even happen, and you’re preemptively deciding it’ll be bad.

    Retcons tend to be like that

    Quote from Xeruh »
    The answer could be as simple as “Yawgmoth was being fought by them indirectly, and they couldn’t act directly because of him”

    Retcon that doesn't make sense

    Quote from Xeruh »
    Or “they are recent Gods”

    Ahahah nice, the plane with the biggest history of the whole multiverse suddenly has "new gods", deal with it! And you think that's a good solution? Speaks plenty about your lore competence.

    Quote from Xeruh »
    or any number of arbitrary things

    Arbitrary = bad. You can't wash away 10 years of history and lore and pretend people to blindly accept it. I mean you'll gladly do it apparently, but others won't.

    I know that the satanic panic was real, i'm just saying it wasn't the main reason we didn't get gods in old Dominaria. They didn't put them in sets or storyline because everything being false gods and having planeswalkers do stuff instead were major lore points. Otherwise we would have got them along demons, instead of waiting Theros.

    Yes, implying you have standards while anyone who disagrees with you does not is a good way to prove your point. You’re also jumping to a bunch of conclusions.


    And you have posted baseless ***** for like 2 pages, your point was just "i don't care about old canon and retcons, so no one else should". Try to post some facts if you can.
    If you have any old story where the dominarian gods act like the Theros/Amonkhet/Kaldheim ones, post it and shut me up.
    If you have any decent reason for gods on Dominaria to show up after centuries of inactivity, post it and shut me up.

    Visions of Dominance is perhaps the greatest art on a card in modern times.


    Do you think it's young Gitrog looking at its future, or it's just a random toad and inspirational Gitrog is like "you can be like me too!"

    I expected some artifact doll tokens, but i guess they'll put a lot of decayed zombie cards in this set
    This card is nice since it removes the decayed drawback, but also reduces big tokens. The "may" ability then is handy.

    Nope, it was because they were worried making creatures the type "God" might offend religious people (like how they stopped printing demons for many years, or removed pentagrams from art).


    Yet demons appeared in the first sets and reappered way before Theros, while gods didn't? Weird.
    Demons and evil creatures, embodiment of black mana always appeared in earlier stories, while gods didn't and it was always a big deal that the god was false and was actually just a planeswaker/avatar/elemental/something else? Weird.

    Quote from Xeruh »
    All that means is there would need to be an explanation for why they didn’t do anything. Seriously, mountains out of molehills.


    Good luck with that. I'm pretty sure there are plenty of reasonable explainations to why Svyelun didn't intervene while merfolks were genocided by ice age/homarid/phyrexians or why Gaea watched Yawgmoth becoming a death cloud, corrupting and reanimating the very soil of Dominaria, while they will show up to help Jace defeat a dimished version of the old Phyrexia they ignored.
    But let's not lie, you will be happy with any half-assed explaination they will bring out for this, only the unfortunate people who have standards regargind storylines will have a problem with this.

    Does anyone still keep track in their head which cards you can find in which products? Because I kind of gave up at this point.


    The site where you usually shop singles

    i think avacyn is easier to remove than her memorial, so i would argue on the point that it is weaker (yes an 8/8 body is awesome, i know... just sayn its not trash)


    Avacyn gives indestructible to everything this just to legendaries
