Lost Soul

Flavor Text Reduction

New • 22 Nov 2014 • Asked by nobthehobbit • 35 Comments

Why was Lost Soul's flavour text cut in half from its Legends version in all its subsequent printings? I really like the full poem and cringe a bit when I look at the other four versions.

My assumption was we didn’t want the text too small. It has to get translated into other languages some of which run significantly longer than English. (I’m looking at you German.)
