in MtGPQ General Discussion
First, just wanna day I’m super hyped about the new set, especially the heavy synergy in green (heavy buff/reinforcement themes in both gruul and simic)

That being said, I HAVE to ask why some of the new enchantments say “while this enchantment is in play”? (See Cindervines as an example). It seems redundant, and it clutters up the cards unnecessarily

Also, for Ugin’s sake please edit the text on Skarrgan Hellkite??? specifically the phrase 

“if it don’t have haste”


Again, the set looks excellent overall. But I know MaRo himself would support me in my aesthetic/editing qualms

    Aesthetics and editing matter quite a bit.

    "If it don't have haste" hurts me inside.

    It's written in Gruul.

    False. Gruul don't write things down; the closest thing they have to a written language is screaming it really loudly.

    Can we petition to have all of the Gruul cards with their text in CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL caps?

    WHEN THIS CREATURE ENTERS THE BATTLEFIELD IT DEALS DAMAGE EQUAL TO ITS POWER TO TARGET CREATURE YOUR OPPONENT CONTROLS. THEN, DESTROY AN OPPOSING LAND SUPPORT. BORBORYGMOS IS SUPER HANDSOME, EVERYONE AGREES.

    That sounds like one of my favorite MTG story installments, when a bit in Amonkhet was told from Chandra's perspective.  Everything was in caps with no periods.  It was amazing.

    Back in the days of the Star Wars CCG, Yoda's card was written the way he speaks. Between that and the overly complex gameplay, I was never sure if he was any good or not  :D

    Well, in her defense, she was pretty flustered. Chandra doesn't... fluster well.
