Design Philosophy: Reinvention

New 09 Feb 2018 Asked by rashandtaxes 72 Comments

I've got to say this: I'm pretty unhappy when every set there seems to be a necessity to sistematically reinvent the wheel. Galestrike and Crashing Tide could've easily been Repulse, what's the point of creating strictly worst versions of it?


Reinventing the wheel is what we do. We could just print Giant Growth every set four times a year or we can do lots and lots of design riffs on it, each one with a different nuance. And yes, some will be strictly worse than others. Not all cards are played together in the same format, sometimes a card is aimed at a constructed format, sometimes a limited one.
