D&D General MtG Adventures in the Forgotten Realms Spoiler Thread

I haven't run into any.

People complain about too many Legendries at Maro all the time on Tumbler: a lot of people feel there should only be a few per Set, like thre used to be.

Another idea for Dual Lands, Legendary Lands which enter tapped, that if Sacrificed/Destroyed/Exiled fetch a basic land of the same colours as the Dual Land.

Clearly those folks are completely unrepresentive, Commanders success speaks volumes about that. And its not specific to this set.

Sure, just pointing out that WotC can't please everyone with the rate of Legendaries: the game needs non-Legendary cards, too.

Interesting to note, that this "Dragonborn Champion" also has a tail. That seems a consistent trend in this Set, wonder if they will have tails in Wyatt's upcoming book.

The other new commander card spoilers released today...

??

People complain about Standard (or the new Modern direct) releases being 'too much for Commander' literally with every release.

I dont play anymore really, but its been a thing for a really long time. 'CMC is too high, Commander card.' and Legendary creatures are just another aspect of that.

I will say, that in a game with variance as a core feature (draw your starting hand, draw a random card, land base, etc etc) its interesting to think of the additional layer of variance rolling can introduce, and how (if at all) Wizards tested and balanced these cards.

I've long been of the opinion that their supposed balancing has been thrown out the window anyway, but still, it is a very obvious layer of variance on top of a game that lived on that variance for its replay potential.

Well, that’s why it’s taken them this long to print any dice rolling cards in black border. But they almost had to do it here - D&D and dice are like… practically synonymous.

My cynicism is high regarding much of what they have been trying, Companion was an absolute abomination and Maro and AF absolutely knew it would break the game.

This though is a bit different as variance is a negative competitively, so it's interesting to see how it shakes out.

Companion being the literal opposite of variance is why it was such a horrible mechanic for the game.
