Hey, rileyseamus! Thank you for the upvote!

Kaldheim would be great if they fit the storyline around the eddas of old. Plus, I would love to get some more Rune Auras.

As for New Capenna, Elspeth's and Vivien's assessment of the situation at the end of the main story gave a "the story is told" vibe. The only way another Capenna story can be viable is if it explodes the plane outside the city.

While I agree it does sound like a cool idea, the lore from the Lorwyn/Shadowmoor blocks makes it clear that curse was ended by a team led by the Sapling of Colfenor.

legendofa, considering the cEDH decks that can win in 2 or 3 turns, I don't see a significant change.

Bookrook Even if Dash Hopes didn't count, it doesn't change the fact that Coalition Victory can be dealt with. As for Oracle of the Alpha, thats a lot of blink effects for a card that isn't even available on paper. However, I do appreciate your creativity.

RiotRunner789, while I see your point, the problem I have with it is that it forgets that holding back a spell can happen whether or not the Coalition Victory is the spell you're anticipating. Not to mention, with the right copy spell and/or ability you can have the same ending the game issue with Biovisionary.

Hey, capwner! Thank you for the upvote!

Personally, if we're going to have a whole bracket system, we may as well just unban everything that isn't an ante, conspiracy or is racist and set a minimum bracket for specific cards. Such as all cards currently banned means you can only play it in Bracket five while a card like Teferi's ProtectionGC can only be played in perhaps(?) no lower than bracket 3.

With that said I don't think there was a bad call the whole announcement. I know Y'all aren't happy about Coalition Victory. However, it's a spell with a mana cost of 8 and every color except Green has at least one counter spell with a mana value of 2 or less that can handle it. Not to mention the countless spells that cost one black mana to force a discard and there's cards like Naturalize to destroy Dryad of the Ilysian Grove or Leyline of the Guildpact(which some players won't be able to afford purchasing, anyways) as soon as Coalition Victory is cast.

While I don't ever see myself building a deck around Braids, Cabal Minion I can definitely see someday putting her in the Juri, Master of the Revue Deck I am currently building.

Because Sway of the Stars is now unbanned, it's not that difficult to win a game of Commander with Battle of Wits in it. One just needs to activate Spawnsire of Ulamog's 2nd activated ability to put a lotta Eldrazi on the battlefield, target Battle of Wits with Oblivion Ring or Detention Sphere, then cast Sway of the Stars for the win. Provided you can find a playgroup willing to tolerate a wish board of 103 or more cards.

May you draw well.

Yeah, the funny thing is that most people don't understand the meaning of the phrase "no matter the cost" until it's time to comprehend what exactly you're willing to do. Vraska learned it a little late, but she may still come back from it. If Jace does it won't be for a long time. And that is a bit of a bummer for me.

As for Sarkhan, yeah, they did him a little dirty. It's like they removed a small, but important piece of his character development and ended up turning him into a hypocritical and petulant child.

I only grazed through the main story. I don't know what I can say without giving away spoilers except story wise it was much different than what I hoped for except for the core of one plot point. That and the ending was a bit tragic for me to see one of my favorite Planeswalkers have such a fall. It also ended way too suddenly.

The Unspoken Wheel

Enchantment

Whenever one or more creatures or planeswalkers enter the graveyard, phase out all cards in all graveyards until end of turn.

"I'm not sure I want to know what caused this."—Teferi, to Liliana.

Create a card you would be scared to face off against in play. It doesn't have to be OP or dilute the quality of Magic:The Gathering as a whole, just something that would make you unreasonably go after it.
