@Mimigma1980 @RunesAndRift I’m sure the physical card will look a lot more unique. These HD renders never look accurate for the alt art/overnumber cards due to the texture treatment they have on them.

@RunesAndRift couldnt the alt art looks i dont know ? alternative ? :D it almost looks the same in my opinion ( the alt looks a little bit cooler but like only a little bit)

Preview season has begun! First look at the Baron Nashor card coming in the next #Riftbound Unleashed set 🔥

@_whenisleep @davetron That’s a fair take. People thought Kai’sa was problematic in set 1 and look at where we are. There will always be a “best deck” or “best color” so I think it’s only worth considering when it’s negatively affecting overall game health at multiple levels.

@Jeff_TMV @davetron Yeah i mean I play like 8 games people cry in them all. I dont disagree in minimal bans for a time like how bandai does it but being so reactionary to a short time frame without seeing how at least the next set effects it is bad.

Hey Riftbounders! TL;DR (more in the thread - 1/11) 1: We're discussing card bans in the near future based on overly-dominant play patterns, but none to announce today, nor an expected date for bans. 2: Expect a separate rules update on 3/30 for the new mechanics being introduced in our next Set, Unleashed, as well as a few clarities around penalties, judge rewind, edge cases, and more. Read on for more!

@_whenisleep @davetron For context, I’m very ban adverse from a game design perspective. My major concern is the Feb. State of the Game saying they won’t rules change because of power level, it possibly puts Draven Legend on the chopping block when changing combat fixes it without errata.

@Jeff_TMV @davetron Yes! 2-3 is prob too many, 1-2 would be fine. Yugioh for example continues to break records with these same "issues." Also same deal the people that get their decks banned are just as likely to jump ship as well if the precident is set that crying makes their $400 decks go away.

@davetron The thing I’m most wary of is the part of the February “State of the Game” article where you said “no rules changes for power level adjustments” I feel like this is an unnecessary precedent to set that kneecaps your ability to fix Draven without ban or errata.

@_whenisleep @davetron I play Ezreal and I think Called Shot needs to go. If you wait nearly a full year (3 sets) to address a problematic card, you won’t have a playerbase. This isn’t 2000s-2010s era TCG where you only had the big 3. People will jump to one of the other 47 games.

@davetron Please god take away take backs, this isnt a baby game. And pls dont pander to "please ban this babies." Give cards 2 or 3 sets to actually try to stand up to future releases before canning them.

@C4RRYlol @davetron It’s a matter of keeping player’s trust and retaining players. If a local that wants to jam their favorite decks for fun at nexus nights and goes 0-5 vs 5 Dravens every week, that’s not a good thing. I’m a competitive player but the little guy matters for the health of the game.

@C4RRYlol @davetron This isn’t 2010s era MTG. There’s a million TCGs now and if people get frustrated with the game, there’s a million other TCGs they can jump to. Being quick to address something is good as long as they are thoughtful with implementation.

@RiftboundSummon @davetron Decks with heavy gold generation could still play it without Ez and you have to design every other easy way to generate power around how it interacts with called shot. Ezreal is strong but not broken with any other card.

@RiftboundSummon @davetron Tbh this sounds awful. It’s a bad new player experience to have to explain this shit. Frankly, I think Called Shot is a problematic card, even without Ezreal. For clarity, I’m an Ezreal player and I think Called Shot needs to go.

@unkwntcg @davetron @abunnymonster Limited lists suck and are a bad precedent to set. Banned or Unbanned IMO.

@davetron @abunnymonster I think changing combat to mean the damage phase, and showdown to refer to the overarching phase at a contested battlefield, makes more linguistic sense. For Called Shot, a limit of one is sufficient. I’m not sure a ban is needed… (From a non-Draven, non-Called Shot player.)

@Tectone @davetron Limiting is wack. Ban called shot. Make winning combat require killing a unit. Start slim.

@davetron Ban Called Shot Ban Reavers Row Limit 1 Brynhir Limit 1 Purple Ez Limit 1 stacked deck Limit 1 Rebuke It’s really that easy, W communication btw

@okiscoop @SaffronOlive Explain to me how Comet is a Commander card. I'd argue that it (and most planeswalkers) are significantly worse in Commander than they are in 60 card formats. This is a bad take.

@SaffronOlive Yeah I'm glad I don't play that format. Commander is killing the game, you can't change my mind.

Legacy is wild. Last match from Eternal Weekend was Mono-White Initiative. This one is Delver scooping to Comet, Steller Pup.

@SaffronOlive I've had many conversations about hilarious/strong/weak cards to triple up. This would be weak at 12 mana.

We're getting another three-drop that's really three one-drops stapled together in Modern Horizons 2 which got me thinking, what's the worst card that could come from using this formula? Here's my pick.

@wmay1984 I hope this is satire. This is a completely reasonable card and a great sideboard option. This is like Modern infect players crying for a Spellskite ban.

Im a nobody but I have a voice and as a #MTGPauper player I'm asking we all come together and ask #wotcstaff to please #BanStandardBearer #MakeInfectGreatAgain #MagicTheGathering
