Horizons Set Possibilities

New 02 Jan 2024 Asked by rottinghellkite 64 Comments

A question I asked recently has been getting some attention on social media, and it feels like a lot of people are misconstruing what I asked but it feels like you understood me.When you say new Horizons sets are a very real possibility, are you talking about in general for any format that isn’t Modern, or more specifically Pioneer?


A few comments on that answer as it seems to be generating a lot of response.First, I said “if” not “when” which, definitionally by the whole when/if paradigm, means it might never happen. “When” means I expect it will eventually happen, and even then, not necessarily soon. “If” means I have no belief it will necessarily happen.Second, looking ahead at Horizons sets, there is a possibility that one day, again not necessarily soon, we’ll apply that set structure to a different format. That’s just the way a product line like that might (again might) adapt. Pioneer is the most likely format to look at if (and again, if) we ever choose to do that.So, the sky is not falling. I’m just examining hypotheticals, because that’s an activity you all seem to enjoy on the blog.

Defeating Battle Effects

Hey Mark, do effects like Scholar of New Horizons removing counters from bartles count as "defeating" it thus allowing you to cast the other side?


Yes. Removing counters does properly defeat it, meaning you do get to exile and cast the back face.
