They're really trying to make Loot into some sort of mascot don't they. Even got the scarf and everything. It's like checking a couple boxes without soul put into it.

Quote from Ciliatus89 »The card itself looks good - but what I hate about this set is how random they throw known characters into it.
Why the F should the Queen of an entire plane come into the middle of nowhere and play cards? Why should she do that? It totally doesn't make any sense. Same for a lot of other characters in this set.
I know, that this plane wasn't poulated before the Omenpaths, so there can't be a local legendary creature. But the whole mass of random characters is what i dislike so far.

this is the most ridiculous and insane theory i've read in awhile.
i once said mtg:s was a place where occam's razor is so dull it can't even cut jello. years later i see that still rings true.

its not that sets rotate too quickly, its that there isn't an emphasis on standard any more and there are just too many damn products competing for the same time and money.
i also think that its going to make for an exceptionally stagnant environment because sets are so formulaic now. every set has a 4-5 mana white board wipe, every set has a 3 mana cancel, every set gets a shock, an edict, etc
if they really wanted to solve the problem they'd re-emphasize standard by supporting competitive high level play accessible to all not just pros. they should also eliminate all supplemental products except for collectors boosters and commander precons as these all compete for your money. do one major reprint set per year thats standard legal. bake reprints into standard level sets. bake meaningful nonstandard reprints into the commander precons and especially collectors boosters, as well as new commander cards. eliminate set boosters, jumpstart, commander specific sets, even the masters sets really should be standard support that has reprints that filter into other formats.
we need the flow of product to diminish and we need actual support for the format. no one has been complaining it rotates too fast for the past few years because we get a new set/product every single month so why even bother with standard.
