I think even as a 1-time use tool it would be enough as a 4-of piece of land denial. There just would be fewer decks dedicated to it since you can’t use it as a wincon anymore

Did you mean to reply to Mike’s post? This one is a bit old haha. I actually haven’t been that active on Arena so don’t keep up with the daily deals

This one is more obviously a joke, but I’m always unsure of whether to tag satire or if that ruins the fun

I get why they did it, but I was hoping for a couple “unidentified” creatures like alien grays or a Thing-style creature to show up as aliens

I assume this was made to quickly Station spacecraft

Given how this seems like a really good reusable artifact token, I’m baffled why they didn’t pick a more generic name for it

Surprised it focused on Tezzeret so much given that he didn’t do much in the story

Basically, but I think it has a few applications that neither of them have as it allows the creature to stick around until end of turn so you can take advantage of continuous abilities for a turn

They weren’t taking any chances. Still glad though, right now it feels like it’s better to overcorrect than to not go far enough

Though I don’t think we’ve had this massive of a list in a long time, maybe this finally wakes them up to tone the power of the format down

Oh I didn’t even see the Historic changes at first, Counterspell feels like a good addition to the format

I loved running her in Esper Hero. Definitely a kill on sight. Even in Commander she can run away with a game if left around with extra tokens

The issue with Beans is that it becomes a must-play in pretty much every midrange/late game deck because of how much advantage it creates. And with it being so easy to trigger with the Overlords it’s only really being held back by Aggro being insanely overpowered right now

For reference, here are all Legendary vehicles that would be available as commanders.

The best is probably Esika’s Chariot but maybe there’s something else that could be interesting

Edge of Eternities

Wow, that’s surprising to hear. Dragonstorm was absolutely hopping at the LGS near me. Was Bloomburrow big or do you just not see a lot of Magic traffic recently?

Neat, I’ve been considering building her with a bunch of Monarch and similar cards makes people want to attack me

Yeah Minaya is one of my favorite new artists for his style, it’s so evocative

Yeah, the new look is nice but I can’t imagine it’s as functional as Scryfall

Afaik, CardKingdom eventually relented and the union is still in place there. They settled a wage disagreement in Oct 2024 so I assume it’s still in place absent of any more recent updates

So checking rulings for Inkshield with other cards like Kambal, Profiteering Mayor, it looks like all the tokens from Inkshield enter at the same time. If they’re created as a group you’d only get one Food token regardless of how many Inklings you created

Always fun to see new Dev Diaries from the Arena team
