Feb 4, 2014Bankrupt on Baltic posted a message on Launch Giveaway!My favorite card is Mother of Runes. She was my favorite when I played in middle school. She was my favorite as a four of in my monstrous casual White Weenie deck in college. And now she is my favorite card in my cube. Everyone is afraid of Mom.Posted in: Announcements

I'm not looking at it as a budget cube so much as a salvaged cube. I hope that every switch I make boosts the power ever so slightly. That being said, I know there is work to be done. In your opinion, what color is the weakest?

1. There are a higher than usual number of characters who have been mentioned through flavor text and story but have not had a card yet. Geralf, Gisa, The Lady of Vittens, the three howlpack leaders mentioned in the planeswalkers guide, Uta Falkenrath, Sorin's uncle, various cathars and townspeople whose names elude me but they wrote all those letters, and of course Avacyn and Griselbrand have all had some sort of role or depiction in the story making for a very deep well to draw from.
2. If the From the Vaults series is an indicator of the upcoming block, as many have argued that it is, then shouldn't FtV:Legends dictate that we'll see more legends? We have only had six over two sets. I would be surprised if Wizards changed the role of FtV as a predicter.
3. They have been pushing Commander hard this year with it's own products, wedge colored legends in the upcoming Planechase, and the aforementioned FtV: Legends. They are also altering the wording of the game in subtle ways too; like Chalice of Life, to cater to commander players. Yet we saw so few legends including one that makes a questionable general.
4. This last one is far more speculative than the other evidence. Kamigawa block was a failure. Period. The Legends matter mechanic, however, seems like something Wizards would want to fix. As if to prove that it was a good idea that failed in execution. They have done this with mechanics based on artifacts, creature size, tribes, and most recently graveyards. If they were to attempt to revamp such an unpopular mechanic, a stand-alone set would be the perfect opportunity. If it's still a failure, at least it's not a year-long failure.
This is my theory. What do you think?
