I really want a fully tribal block a la Onslaught or Lorwyn, not half assed tribal like the Innistrad blocks.
Overturf and Hunt were dissing the art, smh.

We just had magic origins which had a mini goblin theme. We haven't had faeries since lowryn.
Really not a fan of the moni green Post decks, they always seem so toothless compares to the UG versions, especially with respect to sideboard options.
I always expected something as ubiquitous as MTGMOM to pop up after that ended, but there seems to still be this empty space for that kind of thing. My group has settled to just a shared google calendar at this point.

Or any deck when you play it on turn 1
Isn't that a draft bomb? lol

I would argue that it's not arbitrary and in fact super simple:
If there's already a broad tribal type that the creature type could have applied to it, put it in that type.
That was the whole point of the great creature type update, to get rid of all the Ghoul-Mummy-Lich-Zombie bullshit and just have everything that's pretty "zombie" be a zombie. The way we can avoid having to do that again in the future is by being properly preventative in not creating entirely new types where they obviously aren't needed.
And man, could it not be more obvious this type isn't needed, though I still give the vote to Siren (ala "Why aren't you merfolk?") as the biggest loser there.
after this post I went and changed my deck setup and it's sooooo much better now
also Slayer's Plate is the gift that keeps on giving
very happy with how slayer's plate turned out... I had it on thraben inspector and it was just glorious

No it was part of her thing for Scars of Mirrodin.
It was speculated but not confirmed at first when her backstory was talked about, they just decided to retcon it for SoM

They also bring this up during a few Theros stories, particularly the one showing how she sparked.
I knew her whole backstory. Logically it makes sense they would be different from those that took over Mirrodin. I guess I never really thought too much about the timeline differences and how it kind of couldn't be tied into the original Phyrexians running around fucking shit up due to her age.
I think it's really interesting there is a set of Phyrexians out there, stranded on her unnamed home plane just waiting to be unleashed. I hope someday they make use of this.

I mean at some point they're gonna be bringing Elspeth back to life and at some future point they'll almost certainly show us her homeworld, so....
I don't know why you are sure we will see her homeworld

Watch it just be Dominaria.

The first time I saw an elves deck do the whole Heritage Druid/Glimpse thing my jaw literally hit the floor. That was the moment I realized that combo was my jam.

Uh oh, I think Aleksi Briclot may have jumped the gun a little early. But this suggests Howard Lyon's Nissa might not actually be for a planeswalker card? That would be strange because she's on the Ultra Pro sleeves for this set.

Nice!! Maybe there are 4 PWs this set? That Nissa art has to be on a PW card.

Neat! Looking forward to the spoilers this week
Random question for people more adept and searching:
Is it possible to search magiccards.info for tokens? I have just searched for "Type: Token" but it only shows 13 of them. No goblins or anything.
I am trying to find "Vanilla" token creatures...

go in the "extras" section: http://magiccards.info/extras.html
it's VERY outdated though.

they are the extra tab at the top
Guys, this is the link to the spreadsheet with my ten Alara+Tarkir minicube project I posted about earlier. Comments are appreciated. Thanks
The Nissa art can be one of those story based cards
This was already known; Karn has dripped the oil onto other planes and after New Phyrexia he left to see what he had wronged and fix it before other planes become basically New Phyrexia 2.0, 3.0, etc
Which means Karn is indirectly responsible for Elspeth's spark igniting and her plane being attacked, etc.
I expect we'll get a plane in the future where Karn has engineered a sentient race that's immune to compleation or something fighting with the natives to kill the Phyrexians. What would be cool as fuck would be if they were entrenched into the plane, and the natives have a religion around Karn and shit... man it would badass.
Also if the Phyrexians get onto Valla they will have to contend with some shit

I just can't get over decks that only have to count to 10. I get that legacy infect is fragile and extremely difficult to play (I certainly don't have the reps or decision making skills for it), but I just want to see it fail.
Nice to see some off the beaten path decks make it in. Like just seeing the mono-red sneak attack hit the turn 2 kill. Daze just didn't make it to Massachusetts this weekend, eh? What this all means is that it is lovely to see legacy still filled with that sweet sweet diversity.

The format is definitely of a PW card though.
Could be from the new Archenemy set.
I can't WAIT for that set, I'm hoping for cool reprints. Modern frame Reanimate was from the original Archenemy.
Top 16 from the Modern Classic
Such a weird collection of decks lol
Zombies! Faeries! Hardened Scales!

I think Cheon had a video with Artifact Hardened Scales/Snek, it was fragile but pretty snowbally and a LOT of fun to watch.
