Dark Intimations

Foreshadowing Poll Results

Just curious, how did your poll on foreshadowing with cards like dark intimations go?

Players generally like future teasers. They don’t like waiting too long for the payoff.

Dark Intimations Feedback

Dark Intimations honestly made me feel let down, as it implied that Bolas would be in Amonkhet. I like cards like that when the card being alluded to is in the next set, but Bolas not being there was really a letdown.

A number of people are saying that they like the payoff to happen in the next set. We usually do this but we’re trying something a little different this time.

Displeasure Over Future References

I just wanted to write to voice my displeasure for cards that refer to other cards that don't exist yet, namely Dark Intimations and the new Gate to the Afterlife. I didn't really mind it as a plant for the next set, but now making us wait 2 sets for a pay off, while simultaneously adding another 'lame duck' card that only has half of it's intended functionality is just downright annoying. No realistically printable Bolas card is going to make up for the fact I had to wait 6+ months for it.

How do others feel?

Preview Cards Feedback

I know that you consider players misunderstanding something as a potential reason to stop doing it, eg. Shroud. With that said, how many people would need to say "Dark Intimations is useless because it only interacts with one card from 8 years ago" (not understanding the card) for you to count those people as votes for "stop doing preview cards because we don't like them" (understanding it but disapproving of the practice), given that that the function of the card will become clear soon enough?

The feedback we have is that if done infrequently the majority of players enjoy them.

Foreshadow Cards Opinion

Hello, Mark! RE: Foreshadow cards. I love them, but I think something like Dark Intimations is a little too on the nose. I prefer it when we don't know what the card is referring to, like with Renowned Weaponsmith or the Kaldra equipments, or when it's a vague reference that only "clicks" retroactively. Thanks!

Not everything need be subtle.

Intimations Wordplay

If you copy "Dark Intimations" after your significant other casts it, you have an intimate intimations imitation.

Preview Hint Cards Valor

Ok so adding oath to an enchantment that represents an important lore point that has 6 of it in standard doesnt deserve the extra word, but Dark intimations is ok in naming a subtype that exists only on one card from many years ago, maybe we get another bolas later, but didnt you say that adding extra words for something that might be mechanical relevant isnt worth it?

Would others like us to stop doing preview hint cards?
