Double post.
Not really surprising, there are 30M or so people playing. If they manage to come up with a book that no one likes or can take pieces of at least, that would be quite an accomplishment in its own right. Not desirable, but impressive nonethelessGotta say, every book that has come up in this thread I have seen someone, somewhere else, sing that book's praise as something they got good use out of. SO I think it is reasonable to say that every book they have put out is at least useful to someone. No "Forest Oracle" abomination stinkers.
Hey, TSR managed to do it back in the day.Not really surprising, there are 30M or so people playing. If they manage to come up with a book that no one likes or can take pieces of at least, that would be quite an accomplishment in its own right. Not desirable, but impressive nonetheless![]()

Except its an international market and theres a long history of British and Eurooean style Magic Academies in literature which should have guided the designersThat's not really all that surprising considering that MtG is an American made card game so it makes sense that the designers would follow what was a normal college experience for them when designing the cards.
Because the incessant Hogwarts comparisons without actually looking at how the school operates weren't enough already.Except its an international market and theres a long history of British and Eurooean style Magic Academies in literature which should have guided the designers
To be fair, the custom Lineage is actually the weakest option in the game: or rather, it ranges from "on par" to "trap."I absolutely hate and refuse to use the "build a race rules" from it.
Think college/university. The USA uses college differently to other countries which often confuses me, though we did have a teachers college here in NZ which was focused on tertiary education.Is it intended to be college? Very different experience than any kind of secondary school, British boarding school or otherwise.
