Feb 3, 2014biglow2 posted a message on Launch Giveaway!My favorite magic card of all time would have to be Grove of the Burnwillows. It was one of the first cards where I went "Wow that art is incredible". And then a couple years later punishing fire was created as well as Needlebite Trap and practicality was brought to it and the awesomeness of the card hit me again. Just a great fun design that is great to look at.Posted in: Announcements

I'd think of arlin more like Ugin who is more than Gideon. Arlinn will be in standard but will be huge in casual
Any one know why Mindslicer jumped in price?edit, I missed prior comments.
I do agree that reprintings from ROE area and I'm even fine with INN block being reprinted but much like with modern masters releases you don't want to be reprinting a ton of the newer cards and I see a high percentage of RTR block and Theros block and that i find annoying. These cards are easily gotten a hold of and still have decently low prices.
As with quibbling I will quibble back: the cards you listed are fun and good but I don't think legacy worthy.
Karlov is a good Ajani's Pridemate with an ability but two colors I don't see the place for it. But agree for the potential
Oreskos Explorer- how is this better than Knight of the white orchid for legacy?
Magus of the Wheel is just straight to slow. Original Wheel isn't really used in legacy so I don't see this being used either.
Mystic Confluence- far to much mana but I'll concede a tiny bit of potential.
Mizzx Mastery- Powerful but a lot of work. Probably would have to go with Exhume but seems like a slow reanimation deck with spells instead of creatures.
Scourge of nel toth- I think would have potential but seems like a bad reanimation deck again
Firey Confluence also is a lot of mana for the effect.
Centaur Vinecrasher- I can see this with potential for a new deck but four mana is a lot in legacy again
It is a little about value but also just reprinting cards that they consistantly reprint is a problem. I literally don't want a sixth printing of Butcher of Malakir and many cards being printed here within the last two years. I skipped Theros block for a reason and there are far to many bad cards from there here. There is expectations here because the past have been decently good for many different players. these are obviously for people getting into commander at a lower level. So of coarse more people won't like it because it isn't for as many people as they have been for in the past. No Legacy cards, no portal reprints poor choices on reprints like the dragonmaze legends being reprinted when there are more needed different reprints. This all adds up to many "entitled" people being upset with a product that wizards has done a good job with in the past. You blame it on the player base when really Wizards has given the expectations and then undermined their own settings.
The examples of what I have together currently would be:
Other cards I'm considering that are close to the emphasis but not quite right/ or everyone can be effected or trigger:
I'm looking for more card ideas to see if I can actually make a deck with the idea in these colors
I would be ok with this product if it was set back to six or seven bucks per pack but at ten it just isn't worth it. to many highs and lows with this product. the last product at least had a ton of 5-10 dollar cards in the casual sector (which all were hit hard in the market and is hard to see now but in my opinion was a great thing to happen) but that at least made up for it. This product just doesn't effect the market in the myriad of ways that the first one did. It also looks a lot less fun to draft but I'm no expert on that.
