Well, the good news is, if you don't like this Frodo, we have at least one more.

Stalking Pathways [sym=1][sym=b][sym=g] Enchantment — (R) At the beginning of your upkeep, climb up or down. As long as your height is 2 or lower, creatures you control get +1+0 and have menace. As long as your height is 4 or higher, creatures you control get +0/+2 and have reach. From above, they ...

Some Universes Beyond talk: I hope we get another round of Warhammer precons, and if so I have some ideas from my cursory knowledge of the lore as well as this article: https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/feature/designing-warhammer-40000-commander-decks-2022-09-19 [sym=w][sym=u][sym=b][sym=r][sym=g] ...

Some ideas for names for glorifiy.

They might be bad, but just throwing them out for consideration.

Underforest Prowler [sym=1][sym=g] Creature — Cat (U) When Stonewood Prowler enters the battlefield, glorify it. It stalks the groves for prey that has fallen from the world above. 2/2 Stonewood Ancient [sym=4][sym=g][sym=g] Creature — Treefolk (C) Trample When Stonewood Ancient enters the battlefi...

Skylane Siren
Creature — Siren (U)
Flying
Resonate — When Skylane Siren enters the battlefield, if you control an enchantment with the same mana value as Skylane Siren, gain control of target creature an opponent controls for as long as you control Skylane Siren.
3/3

On soul burn, I had a thought about a mechanic where you got rewarded for casting a spell with mana from an artifact source, for a faction like esper. But it felt like it would be too narrow. I still like it though. Maybe between artifact lands, mana rocks, and mana creatures it could work. Etherium...

Uncover the Den
Sorcery — (U)
Create three 0/1 red Kobold creature tokens.

Reflective Barrier
Creature — Wall (U)
, : Scry 1.

(For and , I figure both want something to stall.

That's awesome! Thanks for making this, this is pretty much exactly how I pictured the world looking like in my head.

Sidenote: This is also perfect for illustrating why the Soltari are arrogant... *searches for the right word* fellows.

Well there's more spoilers incoming. Including Tom %$#% Bombadil. Honestly flavor wise so far these look super good. Indeed. I really like that food is returning, so flavorful. Cons, I'm starting to get annoyed that we don't look to be getting a Ring equipment or a DFC Gandalf, but oh well. Also, i...

So on a more general note, are there ANY good EDH content creators? I don't really see the point in dunking on random yt so I don't talk about it much, but seriously, 60 card eternal formats have people like Bosh n' roll, Andrew Meducci, Thraben University, Limited has a ton of great streamers, nob...

@Venedrex you do realize tidespout came out way before galecaster right?

you can wombo combo with mana rocks. Wait, why does tidespout combo better with mana rocks? Don't they do the same thing in that arena? Well I'll be damned, I could have sworn it could only bounce your opponents' things. Well, it still doesn't fly. I rest my case. https://i.imgur.com/77gWEIU.png

Link to a Maro article on a basic set skeleton: https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/making-magic/nuts-bolts-13-design-skeleton-revisited-2021-03-22 These are super rough first ideas so, don't judge them too harshly they will most likely change or be removed.

Yeah, I mean Sauron's thing was he had a hard time maintaining a physical form, so the whole enchantment that becomes a creature could fit if they wanted go down that route. I mean, if we do end up getting three versions of him, they definitely have room to try different things. You could have him a...

Gotcha. There's a pretty good chance he could be a walker. As a maiar he is a step above most of the other folk existent in Middle Earth, aside from Sauron and Saruman (pre-betrayal). Yeah, I think it's reasonable. Every set needs planeswalkers (according to Wotc) and like you say there aren't many...

Maybe Gandalf post ring destruction (sorry for spoilers fam lol)? Or Gandalf out of time and mind mid-balrog fight? I can't wait to see the balrog personally. And the witch-king. Apparently the three are going to be Friend of the Shire, the Gray (which we just saw) and the White. Some have speculat...

I guess we still have 2 more Gandalf's to come, but I am very curious to hear the explanation as to why Gandalf the Grey isn't a DFC. Are they saving it for the Gandalf the White card? Is he going to be like a flipwalker, or is this just, nah we don't want Gandalf to transform even though that is k...

I'm going to get started on a file of "favors" (name pending). Since they're important for multiple mechanics at once, it seems worth having a draft early on. Favor of Ferocity 1 Enchantment - Aura Favor (C) Enchant creature Enchanted creature gets +1/+0. Favorite 0 Favor of Durability 1 ...

OK, let me see if I can steal from KTK/Every set with mana creature with set synergy. *Name WIP* Underspire Shaman [sym=1][sym=g] Creature — Elf Shaman [sym=tap]: Add [sym=g]. Resonate — [sym=tap]: Add [sym=g][sym=g]. Activate only if you control a enchantment with the same mana value as Underspire ...

Awesome! That gives us: [sym=w][sym=u] Fliers [sym=u][sym=b] removal control [sym=b][sym=r] "reckless" aggro [sym=r][sym=g] Glorify go-big [sym=g][sym=w] Climb up [sym=w][sym=b] Exalted - Dauthi [sym=u][sym=r] Prowess - Viashino [sym=b][sym=g] Climb down - Elves/spiders [sym=r][sym=w] Glo...

For my money, archetypes that play distinctly from one another (within the same Limited environment) and that are unlike ones people have seen before (in general) are worthwhile goals in themselves. However, there should always be some overlap between ones that share a color, because otherwise ther...

Absolutely! I think everything we have is in a really good place -- at this point, my focus is on making sure that not all of the archetypes have exactly the same play pattern. It's great to have a high-synergy environment, but I also think it's good to give people the ability to sometimes go in di...
