Its hard to make a perfect analogy, the Planeswalker is weaker and there's a band of cases where you can't block enough to prevent a few damage to the Planeswalker but you can block enough to protect your starting life total when you cast the mill bomb
"Let us say that you are right and there are two worlds. How much, then, is this 'other world' worth to you? What do you have there that you do not have here? Money? Power? Something worth causing the prince so much pain for?'"
"Well, I..."
"What? Nothing? You would make the prince suffer over... nothing?"
this is an imaginary planeswalker with no minuses but maybe we can give it a "-1: Shuffle your graveyard" for asserting dominance

This past first prerelease was my first experience with how rules text volume creep has affected the game.
All sorts of games were going to time but the time it takes to read one of these new cards cause it's been cast, in a prerelease context, shit was just silly.
It's a little bit exacerbated by capenna being a tricolor set with ton of fixing so players are often 4 color and playing all their rares. I don't like gold sets tbh.

His music actually has a really cool story behind it too, where his reaction to twitch cracking down on copyrighted music was to go on a music finding binge for tons of indie artists who he then messaged directly and asked for permission to use their music on his stream.
There's a very new LGS in my sector of greater Seattle doing a weekly draft fnm so I think I'll go there a bunch to play the set. Also grindworthy for arena. I didn't love snc. Hbg is more goofy fun but it's hard to want to grind the hearthstone set, I played snc more

SNC was one of the worst limited formats they've done in years. I've had fun with this set so far but I'm a bit worried it's going to be another tempo format. Not to the degree SNC was, but still having 2 back to back when SNC was so bad is a bit much.

we like tempo formats a lot (mid was awesome) but they're not for everyone
I don't mind a tempo format (though its likely my least liked of the options), I just really like a variety, and SNC was DOMINATED by tempo. Don't want anymore tempo right now. Also I've done like a dozen DMU drafts on arena at this point, didn't go to top decking in that many of the games. Several 7 wins with aggro and tempo decks where I just got ahead of the other guy and they couldn't win. A lot of the kicker cards just let you play really aggressively and then still push through a win when you start kicking stuff. But as always the format is early.
