Egypt huh? I'd rather see fairy world. It would be nice to see some lighter side of fantasy every once in awhile. Also didn't know that about Pyrulea.

It will probably lean more towards the original tone of fairy tales

I guess you think you know this story.
You don’t. The real one’s much more gory.
The phony one, the one you know,
Was cooked up years and years ago,
And made to sound all soft and sappy
Just to keep the children happy

Not sure how conclusive it was, but I think I remember reading somewhere that Maro polled returning worlds and Kamigawa was in the top 5.

Dinosaurs should be No. 1 on that list because they are rad as fuck.

maybe Dinosaurs sounding cool

You people disgust me.

Not-Kamigawa Japan world = Anime trope world a la Hunter x Hunter probably.

I would be so down for that.

Pirate world is wicked easy. Each color is a pirate band that hails from a corner of the land.

White = Royal navy type sailing outfit
Black= Selfish, greedy pirates in it for the loot
Red = Band of roving marauders wreaking havoc along the coastlines after being forced from their homes.
Green = Sailors whose primary mission is the colonization of the world, bringing animals and plantlife to new areas
Blue = the greatest explorers. They sail the high seas to see what is out there.

They're hunting down a mythical treasure that is said to hold the key to new worlds. Turns out it's a planeswalker that warped in (Nahiri?) in search of something by ended up trapped/captured/put to sleep by a massive underwater leviathan . The battle in the final set is the pirate crews banding together (somewhat, but each with their own agenda) to prevent the leviathan from ripping out the planeswalker's spark. Early set PW would be X the Shackled, last set would be X, Unfettered.

I had to google what the fuck a Luffy is. Is that a popular animu or something?

 

[shrapnelmagnet]

I can't wait for BfZ to come out just so that there are more draft videos to watch. It's a wasteland out there. I don't like everyone, but I do like the usual suspects (LSV, Cheon, Kenji, Marshall, etc.) and they're doing almost zero lately. I don't really care for the constructed vids, but I'll watch 'em. It's all Modern, though, which I double don't care for.

Egypt block sounds cool. It's about time we have another African themed block and there's always been a disturbing shortage of mummies in MTG.

Not sure how conclusive it was, but I think I remember reading somewhere that Maro polled returning worlds and Kamigawa was in the top 5.

There really aren't a ton more viable returning planes they could use than 5. Like, if you cut the recent blocks all that is left is Mirrodin, Kamigawa, Dominaria, Alara, Lorywn and Innistrad.

 

[Angry Grimace]

There are three cards already from Muraganda, actually

She moved on to gallery art. Luckily, the new art reprint policy means they're going to keep reusing her art from now until we all die.

They should make the pirate plane based on The Pirates of Black Water.

That's because Magic Origins is a sucky draft format.

Speaking of which, I'm kind of disappointed we didn't get a card like this:

Wish from Beyond - (3)
Sorcery
You may choose a card you own from outside the game with banding, cumulative upkeep, fading, phasing, or rampage. Reveal that card, and put it into your hand. Exile Wish from Beyond.

Anime is just beyond me. Like a good nerd, I've attempted several times, but it's not for me. This is a prime example. I think "pirate" I think goons pillaging a village, burying treasure, healing wounds with gunpowder and uncorking bottles of rum with blackened teeth. Not Plastic Man with a funny hat.

No offense to any One Piece (Luffians?) fans.

Same page as me. I liked DBZ growing up, and I saw some random anime's on adult swim/toonami, but it never really stuck with me.

WTF am I looking at...

That's right! They only take what is rightfully theirs. Thing is, by rights, everything belongs to the strong!

 

[Crocodile]

You basically run them all in an on-color Limited deck. Any of those effects for not costing a card are wonderful.

Yep. Unless you are all in on the Converge archetype and need all your lands to fix mana (though the Blighted Green land helps in this regard) these are all super playable.

I had to google what the fuck a Luffy is. Is that a popular animu or something?

One of the most popular anime in Japan and the World (except America ironically enough). Get read scrub

Such a shame how that show went out

Try Attack on Titan.

It does a lot of what this set should have been doing. (And should have been an insanely obvious reference point.)

Anime like DBZ/One Piece are defintely not for everyone. (I'm not into them either.)

Anime like DBZ/One Piece are definitely not for everyone. (I'm not into them either.)

Considering how popular DBZ and One Piece are worldwide (and DBZ in the states) those properties are way more for "everybody" than most anime/manga or even many western cartoons/comics. Like I'm not sure you understand how big those properties are even if they aren't your personal taste.

A) DBZ is huge, but it's also not as relevant to kids today as it was to us growing up with the '90s.

B) One Piece is huge, but my experience is that it's huge among manga/anime fans, but not to the mainstream extent that DBZ got

I don't understand how you read my statement that way though- I was just recommending AoT (which has gotten pretty mainstream due to Netflix) to WW, who doesn't like a few series that I also don't like.

Also remember what I said , keep an eye out on the creatures that can block and trade with the new eldrazi to see which cards might be playable in standard.

5/7 blocks and trades with most of the rare eldrazi, its part of the reason I think Siege Rhino will see less play. In a world of 4/4s a 4/5 was king, in a world of 5/5s oblivion Sower, this guy , ulamog etc are the top dogs now

That's not a good assessment to make towards Siege Rhino. SR is huge at 4cmc and has an immediate impact on etb. There are a plenty of current bigger creatures in rotation at 6cmc but it didn't stop SR from being played. SR ain't going anywhere.

 

[Joe Molotov]

No no no. It would need to be Bands with other Pirates.

Pirates band with Boat creatures

 

[Angry Grimace]

None of the Eldrazi in this set are even vaguely comparable to Siege Rhino.

That probably extends to Rise of the Eldrazi, really.

 

[Simply Sarah]

Pirates band with Boat creatures

Now that's just silly! One pirate in a band with multiple boats? If anything you'd have a boat with "bands with other Pirates".

 

[OnPoint]

I didn't realize how much I would like a pirate set until Wandering Wind laid it all out. It would be such a good fit.

This is off topic but since I don't know how many of you venture into the Gaming side: I'm a dev and we have a giveaway going on over there for my game. If any of you were interested in playing it, I'm handing codes out. Y'all have kind of become my first family on GAF, so I'd definitely like to include you guys.

Has there been a set that had over 100 cards to be revealed by the end of spoiler week?

Number crunch: 23/101C 31/80U 51/53R 14/15M

Anyway, for a new Japan world, I imagine it would basically be Naruto. People already say the ninjas in it are wizards anyway. I still feel like they could easily get away with calling that "Return to Kamigawa", though.

 

[Ashodin]

the commons and uncommons in this set must be AMAZING

Dinosaurs should be No. 1 on that list because they are rad as fuck. It would be criminal to not have Evolve in that set also.

We already had Dinosaur World, as far as I care. It was called Jund.
