Sure it's not "official" spoiler season, but we're still getting lots of new cards, on the same schedule as before, with the same volume as with most draft-based supplemental sets. This might as well be spoiler season already.
Okay but theyre leaks and the set is delayed... so no, different circumstances
That Mardu commander is great, but I wish it were Abzan or Esper
That Temur Cascade commander is totally awesome and may *finally* inspire a Temur deck
(either under this dude or Maelstrom Wanderer).
What’s less great?
All of these comments coming under a mess of a single post thanks to these leaks.
Not a fan!
We'll still make threads for the new cards, if people want to continue. Stuff like the new Kodama would have lots more discussion, they're just being erased from people's minds by the new stuff. Note the complete lack of complaints about how non-white cards suck in this thread. Magic players love to complain about Magic cards, and some really bad cards are thrown into the leaks here. Plus, outside of Reddit and three ongoing threads right now, people seem to really be avoiding these leaks.
What I do find weird is how we just got around a hundred cards in three days, and yet no one's calling for product fatigue yet.
They did when the product was first delayed.
We're thankful for the breathing room the delay caused, and this set has been known about for awhile. Plus these arent official spoilers, so spoiler season for the product, and its release, are far enough away to make the feeling of product fatigue subside.
Dont confuse the delay in this, and the decline in product fatigue as a result, as there not being any problem at all. Were things going off on time you bet your ass we'd be complaining about fatigue.
Plenty of logical reasons youre not seeing that complaint here right now.
If anything the lack of complaints on that end demonstrate that there is a indeed a problem, and that it is easily solved with more time between releases.
I know people are complaining about partner and plabeswalker commanders, but I am really excited for this set. The drafting aspect with weird partners sounds super cool, and I think it will be a fun way for some EDH players to break out of their usual habits of playing overpowered cEDH stuff as well as their typical strategies and instead play some weird decks.
Stop labeling good cards as cedh. Cedh is a particular archetype not a set of cards. Way to often people label efficiency as cedh and frankly it just needs to stop. All it does is increase the competitive vs. casual divide and validate sloppy deck building.
This also wont do that for the people who optimize. They just wont play those weird cards. Theyll still pick and choose the best. People who prefer weird will still pick weird.
The more wotc aims their sights at edh the more youre going to have to accept those overpowered cards. The more of them printed the easier everyone accesses them. The more they aim for a reliable strategy.
Im just sick to death of "casuals" calling every good card cedh tryharding just because it foils their 36 card beeble combo

oh hooray... ANOTHER variant to pull... as if we were hurting for those.
time to start including inserts for gambling addiction

three visits reprint is nice.
really hoping there isn't a ton of just absolutely obnoxiously broken bull*****.
so far it all seems pretty fair, and like a reasonable mix of bad to good reprints
love the return of planeswalkers as a commander
