I am in basically complete agreement, but (drawing from the 4E power sources) add I'd overlap Primal with Red and add Shadow to Black (and MAYBE Green). I wonder, would damage types would be the best division? E.G.: acid (Green, Black), bludgeoning (n/a), cold (Blue, White), fire (Red, White?)...

Sadly, the only one they made a card of is Quandrix (well, "near-tortle," I guess): Quandrix Cultivator

I usually don't either, at least not mainline. But I'm also "just interested enough" in the lore to catch that random bit of trivia going down the MTG wiki rabbithole. I did read the Strixhaven "side stories"; those were good reads. In terms of relation to the UA, I feel like the subclasses are...

I laugh, but isn't the insufferable genius shiny cyborg red(ish) dragon the Living Guildpact now?

Present company excepted? (Sorry for going off topic.)

I like the implication you make that they're stuffing smaller mages in the tower (mage = what it's played with, tower = destination). Finally, a use for gnome illusionists! /s.

Thanks for posting this; I hadn't checked ICV2 yet today. I think the most interesting thing here is the classes for the iconics for each college: Quint (Lorehold) is an artificer, and that was a surprise to me, but it certainly matches with the flavor of Lorehold. I would have guessed Killian...

Oh for sure. Not so say that M:tG has not, on several occasions, dropped, changed, or revised card types. Saying "From this point onward, all cards that read 'Shaman' actually mean 'Sorcerer', so when you see 'Shaman' read it as 'Sorcerer,'" is completely possible, even probable. And any...

Oh, completely. Given WotC's effort at cultural awareness, I'm surprised they're still using "Shaman" as a term, frankly. Just thinking "brand synergy"; the Strixhaven cardlist is full of cards with the Shaman type. Of all of them, it's the most obviously mis-used term on the iconic spellcaster...

A little late to the party, definitely excited for both of these, but will probably only pick up Strix for flavor. I've been tossing around an urban campaign centered on a college for a while now. Was thinking, if the Strixhaven book stats up races, in addition to the obvious Owlin Aven, two...

I have heard the same comment about both games, "[Monopoly/Diplomacy] is the game to play with your friends when you absolutely, positively want a new group a friends." (Implying you'll all hate each other by the time it's over.)

None of the folks I play with seem to believe me, but I say, "Dwarven bards have potential."

I mean, I agree, but I don't want to insinuate to anyone how to run their game. And tornado-riding cowboys and itinerant apple-tree planting druids too!

Ooh. I'm going to need to check this out. Interesting, since a comment about Ixalan (Magic) pulled me out of lurking. Thanks. Can't forget Jackalopes! Other critters: Hodags. Wendigo (of the ravenous zombie kind). Nessie-style Plesiosaur (a la Champ). Giant (magical?) catfish in the rivers...

Kaladesh is a great thematic setting (the Steam-Fantasy aspects remind me a lot of a modernized Castle Falkenstein.) It's kind of reciprocal for me: I dig Taladan/Dragonlance minotaurs, pirates, dinosaurs, and Maztica (yes, I may as well be a twelve-year-old-boy, thank you); Ixalan had me hooked...

This made me crack up, because actually, uh...I do. I'm debating grabbing Explorers of Ixalan because I really dig the setting, but I don't play any in-person magic. But that's just me; I'm the exception that proves your rule. Point well made though; I'm really hoping we see legitimate stuff to...
