And even when "negative", the Professor usually has well thought out fixes/suggestions. As someone who has worked in TTG industry, it is nice to see someone who understands a lot of how products are made.

  • The announcement of this set got my partner obsessed with MTG. She's a huge LOTR fan and wanted to learn to play before Prerelease. After years or zero interest, she's now deeply in love with pauper, commander, and limited. This set brought us closer together. The game has taught us so many new things about each other. For being so calm and peaceful, I would have never guessed her to embrace chaos and agro decks! So to celebrate how special to set is to us, we built a 6-3-1 set cube! I found bulk core booster boxes (without mythic and rates) for 20 bucks each on eBay. A couple of those, two fresh collector booster boxes (did not spend even close to 500 on them), and we were 95% there. Thanks to the hype, and everyone ripping through these boxes, I was able to build this set cube on the cheap! We'll be spending the long holiday weekend playing 2 person draft formats! Despite all of the hype... this set is perfect!

  • I'm 8months late and still, this has to be the coolest video on KZhead. I can't believe MrProff gave out this insane pile of the coolest cards printed in a while.

  • 10:15 Returning MTG player here. You have no idea how shocked/surprised I was to learn that I could not Effectively play my entering set, the new set, and my FAVORITE set (other than Brother's War), because it was NOT playable in Standard. You hit the nail on the head here. There are so many uniquely cool cards and synergies in this set, especially for red/blue/black. (Edit: at least WOE is standard and will have some at-least-minorly inherent synergies with LOTR cards moving foward :) It would have been INFINITELY better as a Standard Set. No contest.
