Am I the only one who is not interested in the new set? When I saw the new trailer, it didn´t look like Magic, but like Pokemon - catch them all. The plane of biggest and weirdest monsters of all shapes. And they even put Godzilla in there.
This game is for children now. Where is New Phyrexia? Eldrazi? Innistrad? All the dark and beautiful realms? This is the first time I am not interested in the new set. Anyone feels the same?
One of the coolest things about Magic is that there is something for everyone.
... For example, Mothra. Mothra is all for me. I am the Moth Queen.
I don't want one of those "things for everyone" to be licensed cameos—IMO MTG should be about MTG and inclusion of outside I...

@archiel:


look at the architecture of human cities, how does that shown on Mothra card fit in the same world?

Well, she thematically does (giant beasties) but visually doesn't. That is why Godzilla and Mothra are alternate art. :grinning:

Tnx for replies. Wasn't aware of hyphen bug.

Fortunately, it should be fixed with the Ikoria release. #wotc_staff

These glimpses at the engine are fascinating.

It looks less like a game and more like the contents of my course on compilers.

Given that card behaviors are machine-generated code, that isn't surprising! This job is really fascinating to me too, and I'm glad that people in our audience can geek out about the process as much as I can. #wotc_staff

I think creatures' own etb effects should pretty much always go on the bottom of the stack and resolve last. Please point out a scenario where this is not the case, if there is such.

Sure, the etb ability results in a Scry, but you have another ability that says "Whenever a creature enters the battlefield under your control, draw a card." Usually, you want to scry before you draw. #wotc_staff

Chulane's trigger is currently sorted as a draw trigger, which means that the age-order of the triggering cards is the tiebreaker. Our gameplay designer is now aware of this ask though... #wotc_staff
