      @@lennardtheesen390 The ruling was made since Panglacial Wurm lets you cast it while searching your library and that interacts with stuff weirdly. The one Gatherer calls out is Millikin, which has "T, Put the top card of your library into the graveyard: add 1 to your mana pool" and thus cares very much about the position of the Wurm within your library.
      Similarly, you're technically supposed to keep your graveyard in order because of cards like Nether Shadow (if it's below 3 creature cards in your graveyard, put it onto the battlefield). If you're playing in a format with only cards from Urza's Saga onwards you can sort it as you wish, though.

    • @HessianHunter
      @HessianHunter 5 ปีที่แล้ว +53

      @@ChronoBolt It's a term Mark Rosewater (longtime lead designer for Magic) created to describe how they handle complexity of cards at the various rarities starting several years ago. Here's the full article if you're interested - magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/making-magic/new-world-order-2011-12-02
      A cliff notes version: With games that continuously add new components, like Magic, there's the temptation to make your new stuff more complicated to make it more interesting to your enfranchised players. Eventually, though, your cards become incomprehensible to a brand new player, and if no new players want to get involved because it's too hard to learn how to play, the game dies. So they introduced "New World Order", where they want to keep all the really complex stuff at rare and mythic rare, while the commons are easier to understand. That way, when a new player opens a booster, they can basically understand what's going on with the majority of cards in the booster, and hopefully only see up to one really complicated rare that makes them wonder what to do with it. The impetus for this was the Time Spiral block, where they made absurdly complicated cards at all rarities that referenced Magic's past and possible futures. Enfranchised players loved the set, but sales were bad because newer or more casual players had no clue what was going on.

      @@HessianHunter This sounds like it makes it so that the only interesting cards happen to be the ones that are on average more expensive and harder to get. This is kind of upsetting. The game is already expensive enough to play most formats with a deck that's actually fun and interesting.

    • @HessianHunter
      @HessianHunter 5 ปีที่แล้ว +18

      @@Ivy_Panda Fair concern - It's possible for commons and uncommons to be either too complex or not complex enough, and both are bad. But look at the commons from Time Spiral - they're pretty clearly over the line for expecting a new player to understand what's happening. On the other hand, Ixalan was way too simple in a lot of people's opinion, mine included. Since Dominaria I think they've hit a good balance, personally. The Ravnica sets were full of interesting build-around uncommons, some of which have been relevant to Standard, like Cavalcade of Calamity and Dovin's Acuity.

    Some of these are more machine made poetry than cards, like

    X.
    Tap: Add Green or Green to your mana pool.
    and Ancient Bloom:
    Create a 1/1 Saproling creature token for each card in your hand
    then draw that many cards instead.

    Watching Alex block with goblins and then not sac them to his scarecrow for 2 +1/+1 counters, and not sac the zombie that was targeted for exile was driving me crazy. Then he traded it when he could've sacked another couple tokens to keep his best card alive. He seriously underutilized his best card.

    Not sure if they corrected this later
    "Does this card [ability: "Creatures can attack"] get around Defender?"
    Iirc, comprehensive rules state that if two contradicting rules are in effect (a "can" and a "can't" rule), then the rule that disallows something (the "can't" rule) is the one in effect.
    Defender states the creature can't attack, that white creature states that creatures can attack. The result is still that the defender can't attack.

    Going back to this, I'm realizing something. Graham said that one of the tokens produced by this set was a blue/green Shape creature. Strixhaven has given us now blue/green Fractal creature tokens. Roborosewater is early design test for future sets confirmed?
