I appreciate how the drawer in the intro looks pristine, then it becomes a mess once a pack is selected.

Korvold was so good that it saw Standard play for a brief moment. The Brawl commanders all have the actual set symbol, so they were all standard legal for a time.

Idk what the terence Trent D'arby reference is, but I know 2 things that referenced him; Homestar runner: in 3 times Halloween funjob, in the "standing around in the spooky woods commenting on each others' costumes" portion, coach z mistakes strong bad's o-zone costume for terence Trent D'arby as part of a joke where everyone thinks his costume is someone else, as they did in the first 2 toons where he was Carmen Miranda and Carmen Sandiego respectively where people mistake his costume and both times he says "I'm Carmen freakin miranda/Sandiego!" And in this one he starts to say the same thing before remembering he is, in fact, ozone from breakin' and not a Carmen The other is from Jojos bizarre adventure where the game guy in part 3 is named D'arby after terence Trent D'arby

If I recall, this set added warlock as a creature type. So they did add something for the witches, but they chose a word that is less gender-coded (since witch is heavily associated with women). Edit: I was reminded that they avoided “witches” to not insult the religious practitioners (I believe they are called Wiccans).

@Mordalon 14 күн бұрын

Weirdly, they didn't go back and change any previous Witches into Warlocks. Most Witches before were either Shamans or Wizards.

@alexandredesbiens-brassard9109 14 күн бұрын

That's not the reason they chose warlock over witches. According to Maro, it's because "witches are a real religious group". Yeah, dumb.

@@Argusthecat Yup, it's silly, especially since "witch" as a cultural concept predates neopaganism by centuries. My guest is that there is someone on the Magic team that identify as a witch (being either Wicca or another branch of neopaganism) and that lobbyied internally for Warlock over Witch.

@@Argusthecat Cleric isn't directly associated with a specific religion, but multiple. Modern Wiccans specifically use the term Witches for themselves. I get that it's a bit of a stretch, but the situations aren't interchangeable.

@TehAmelie 13 күн бұрын

Okay I have a stupid question as a non-Magic player. Adventure cards: Do you get both the sorcery and the creature or just one or the other? Gatherer does not spell it out (hoho) and so I'm lost.

@Argusthecat 13 күн бұрын

You can cast them as the sorcery side from your hand, and it goes into exile (on an adventure!) and then you can cast it as the creature side after that. It only works in that direction though; you can't cast the sorcery while the creature is in play or anything like that.

Korvold is perhaps the most emblematic of a card that solves its own problem. It set forth a precedent that has lasted to this day.
