Card Design Impact

"Just like we don’t want to ignore the players who love limited, we also can’t ignore those that love constructed." It seems that in recent sets there have been a few cards that are powerful but have a widely unwelcome impact on Constructed (Scarab God, Rekindling Phoenix etc.) and are being oppressive in draft, as well as some (Aethertide Whale, Tetzimoc) that never break into Constructed but are unhealthy in Limited. These designs seem the sort that could be excised, as they serve no one well.


The majority of Magic play is neither tournament play nor limited.
