Brigby, Is the team able to keep up with the release rate of paper magic or will we eventually skip a set? We had to wait 6 months for Ixalan, but i don’t see us ever skipping a set. It’s not about keeping up. We will always get the next set. As players, we just have our patiences tested as we wait for it. Sometimes they come pretty quickly, HOU was merely weeks, and sometimes, like I mentioned above, it can be quite a wait.

Remember the 6 month wait for Ixalan was because the dev team literally went out of business.Maybe not the best example to assuage our concerns

Also there was very little difference in time between Hibernum and Oktagon. I believe it was about 6 weeks. If anyone would care to do the research, they can track time between sets and / or releases by combing through old release notes.

Throne of Eldraine on the other hand will have new mechanics:Food tokens / subtypeAdamant keyword (spells that have bonus effect if you use X amount of a specific color when casting)Creatures with an Adventure Sorcery: you can either cast the creature directly, or cast the sorcery and exile the card and later cast the creature from exile.The last two are all much more complex than anything in M20.Here's an example of a Creature with an Adventure Sorcery:

Mburn7 said:@bken1234 I still don't like your example of the Ixalan wait time, though, since that was the longest by far and due to the studio going out of business. If that's what we're seeing parallels to now, its definitely worrying to me.
