I keep pretty much all of my decks in folders (notably, this one) so go to those for a better overview of things. Suggestions welcome, especially card exclusions. If you try one of my decks in your meta, do tell me how it goes! (And sorry about my cluttered Maybeboards.)

Finally: Friends don't stop friends from proxying.

Oh and maybe it was obvious but turns out Heliod, the Radiant Dawn  Flip is part of a cycle of ally-colored transformers, joined by at least Etali () and Ayara (). Any takers for blue and green? Probably safe to say that it'll be still-living characters who have had a mono-colored legendary creature card and are from a plane that's been in Standard-legal set. (I'm hoping for Fblthp, and that he'll be the new main villin in ten years.)

New Elspeth is... not all that exciting, despite afaik being the only in-story preview? And yes, turns out she does have (a fake) Godsend, somehow. Oh and Serra is kind of still around?

Ranke feels like he was written as more red than black ("You can't tell me what to do!"). And Torbran, Thane of Red Fell, by contrast, seemed more white than red in how serious and responsible he was acting.

Seems like Quintorius is being made into a PW card, probably because there was a demand for less humans among them. Wonder how much they'll differentiatie him from Daretti, Scrap Savant, aside from not being artifact-focused?

Abaques: Rather than the mana cost, he could just have an activated ability like ": Target creature you control can’t be blocked this turn." :P

Tolkien elves are also more artifice-y than most MtG ones (with e.g. Meria being the exception that confirms the rule)

Gimli feels mono-R? idk if he ever does anything especially moral/charitable to anyone who's not already a friend of his, and he likes fighting for its own sake.

Oh and good call on the Gandalf versions, you can find the apparent art for them here and here.

Precon!Sauron will be Grixis at least:

As for Aragorn being blue... I don't think wisdom is exclusive to blue. Blue is more about being wise for it's own sake rather than as a means for good? Been a long time since I read the books, but while Aragorn is learned, he's not actively studious?

Oh and the by the "elven Sol Ring" I actually meant the dwarven one; the light kinda hides the beginning of the upper part of the arm so that's why I found it to be unintentionally Thing-like

Mishra, Eminent One is another painless way of paying for Mount Doom wiping

Feels like a flavor fail that Mount Doom can't be played with Partners!Frodo & Sam. And would it really be too powerful if the board wipe could use any artifact? You're still sacing a land and paying seven mana.

I wonder if there'll be a Smeagol // Gollum card that transform back and forth? Smeagol being red, Gollum black. (I feel that, as a junkie cannibal that likes riddles, he was both before he befriended Frodo.)

Tom Bombadil's Saga Cascade can only trigger once per turn, but that can be bent a bit with proliferate

The One Ring's ETB protection potentially gives effective life gain by preventing damage, helping mitigating the impact of burdens. (Also, it took me way to long to realize that it's supposed to represent invisibility.)

The elven Sol Ring art looks like it features a disembodied hand

They could have side-stepped the overdefining of Bombadil by making him the set's only Planeswalker

First look

Spoiler season starts at May 30

So this is one of the few UB:s I'll reluctantly admit that I kinda like, since Tolkien's work doesn't clash too much with MTG's more generic fantasy flavor. From what I'm seen, I'm actually kind of dissapointed that that they're not doing more to differentiate their character designs from the Jacksson movies?
