[QUOTE="Henadic Theologian, post: 8272647, member: 7030526"] What core set qualities does it really have? Arena has taken over as the onramp for new players, AFR is mostly if not entirely new cards no its not a source if reprints, it doesn't show you what is happening on other MtG planes, it has far more complexity then most Core Sets, it has a story too it. The only thing it has in common with Core Sets as far as I can tell is the amount of cards in the set. Strixhaven felt more like a Core Set then AFR, it had plenty of reprints if you include Mystic Archieve, and while it had new mechanics they weren't too complicated, and it had 5 precon decks like Core Sets even if they were of a different types from Planeswalker Decks. For alook at what is going on in the rest of the multiverse, Modern Horizons fills that role even if its not standard legal. The truth is the AFR set is the weird middle ground between a Universes Beyond Set and regular Standard Legal none Core Set, its Standard Legal, but none canon (for now). [/QUOTE]
