The little DDB supplement was nice but I'd have liked at least something like the Planeshift articles. An Artbook like what we got for each block of 2015-2019's Gatewatch Saga (save Ravnica due to Guildmaster's Guide) would be lovely too.The other thing I like about Lorwyn-Shadowmoor is that it went hard on D&D tropes before that became Zendikar's shtick for MtG to imitate D&D. So we got Lorwyn and Shadowmoor card sets (the two large expansions) focused on Kindred typal matters (equivalent to D&D Species), while Morningtide and Eventide card sets (the two small expansions) focused on Class typal matters (i.e., D&D classes or subclasses). This is in regards to the draft archetypes. It didn't work quite as well as they hoped given the conflicting matters – it probably would have done better to have each mini block focus on a single typal matters and not split their focus, but it was a fun way to explore the different tribes and adventuring careers of the peoples of Lorwyn and then see how those tribes and jobs manifested in Shadowmoor later.</blockquote>
