Rebuke

Green Power Spells

I've been playing Standard on Arena, and Master's Rebuke feels so much like Doom Blade it's stopped being funny. With the overall increased power numbers in green, bite spells feel very pushed, and frankly, they don't strike me as green feeling either. Could I request a return to fight spells?

The increase in bite spells comes from play design needs. From a color pie perspective, it still hits the core green necessity that green is reliant on its creatures.

Nicol Bolas Feedback

I hate Nicol Bolas, and I hope we get a break from him -- really, I hope Ugin kills him on Dominaria so the story can be free of him for good. I get that he's not in Ixalan, but if Vraska is working for him (River’s Rebuke) and the whole block is just part of his master plan, that's going to be super disappointing.

Let’s test the waters. Answer the following questions: (if you’re so inclined) 1) Do you like Nicol Bolas?
2) Why or why not?
3) How soon do you want to see him again?
4) What’s in that egg between his horns?

White's Punishment Removal

You were recently asked about White removal, but you missed out my favourite type! What's the deal with so much "punishment" removal in White recently? I love cards like Rebuke (NO ATTACKING OR YOU DIE LOL) and Smite the Monstrous (NO BEING HUGE OR YOU DIE LOL), and I'm very happy to see more of them lately. Is there a specific reason for White getting so much punishment removal recently, or is White on Innistrad annoying "just because"? Thanks :)

Yes, another type of white removal is what R&D calls “Don’t mess with me or my boys”. This is the Federation style of defense. I can’t do anything until you attack me but then it’s all fair game.
