Bygone Bishop

Inspiring Commander Break

How is inspiring commander a break? It's a new card and you guys are pretty good about not printing breaks. And it's identical to mentor of the meek. I thought it was precedent that white could draw off small creatures. Also, bygone bishop

There are many who believe Mentor of the Meek is a break. The fact that it can allow you to draw more than a single card of the casting of one spell because of tokens makes it even more problematic. Inspiring Commander doesn’t even have mana as a safety valve.

White's Card Advantage

White can have investigate, but not gain card advantage off of it, so then how is Bygone Bishop acceptable? Doesn't it have much the same issue as Mentor of the Meek?

We’ve decided to let White get card advantage in very narrow cases where it forces White to build around a very White centric subtheme.

Color Pie Queries

(re: investigate in white) but I thought you said that Mentor of the Meek was very problematic for color pie. Isn't Bygone Bishop the same thing but slightly more expensive? Have you changed your opinion on Mentor or does the extra mana change things?

We’re experimenting with giving White draw in very focused White-centric circumstances.
