speakupaskanswer said: I have to say I'm really intrigued by the set but the uncertainty how exactly everything will work, makes it hard to judge it. Two questions though:- Why don't we see all the cards at once?- When we have all the cards, will the solve the color imbalance? (atm, 2 black mythics vs. 5 red mythics, 7 black uncommons vs. 2 green uncommons, 12 common in every color but red which has only 10)- While the introduction of standard explains why there are new commons that we normally wouldn't play, why don't they start some kind of draft format that would force us to build decks with certain cards?

They cut cards that are reprints from earlier sets. For example, Demolish was a card printed in Origins and in Kaladesh. As a result, since it was already in game, they didn't rerelease it into the Kaladesh set resulting in a color imbalance. Tormenting Voice is a red common printed in Amonkhet already in the game from Shadows over Innistrad, so it's bee ignored. (Side note: since standard rotation is a thing now, and chance you'll update art and set symbols for reprints from older sets to make them playable again?)

And if some cards can't be converted well, shouldn't they try to cut other cards to restore balance again?

James13 said: Last set they listed which were event rewards in the release notes along with the details of the new events. Just have to be patient. I wouldn't be upset if the axed event reward exclusive mythics, personally. But I know I don't speak for everyone. I find those events stressful and tempers erupt on the forums during those.

[arNero] said: The first card that gets my attention is Glyph Keeper. Goodness, needing 2 kill spells to kill this guy (and he has Embalm) is going to get tiring REAL fast. And this is after Oath of Lili rotates out. Yikes. (EDIT: We have Trial of Ambition. Which still leaves nonblacks in the cold)Hazoret's Favor... yikes, this card pretty much is the new Olivia/Decimator.The red, white and green support destroyers at common.... Well, given how strong Supports can be, maybe these are a good thing? Red still has Demolish, though, since we still keep Origins after rotation, but eh... Oh, but Cycling looks delicious.
