Unfortunately, I just see no way to justify it in a core set at any rarity. Basic multicolor-gold cards haven't even made the cut and hybrid is definitely a step up from that. Hmm, I wonder if we couldn't get away with a cycle of gold mythics...<br /><br />Thanks, Nich. I think I hinted I was trying to get a real test but didn't announce because it wasn't finalized until the day before.<br /><br />We gained a lot of time early in the project and lost a lot in the middle, but we're actually not that far off from the <a href="http://goblinartisans.blogspot.com/2011/08/goals-for-m13_24.html" rel="nofollow">original timeline</a>. I'm most concerned with Limited play, so if we have to lose some constructed time to perfect that, so be it. I'm curious to see whether we'll be able to find a (seperate) Dev team or not. I'd also love for some creative folks (maybe Geordie Tait) to take a pass before we call things final.<br /><br />And yeah, real testing is so much more effecient than educated conjecture.Jay Treathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09428861685923241850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5479847193762153273.post-79218479835879219312012-01-01T20:37:58.584-05:002012-01-01T20:37:58.584-05:00You're doing a good job with this project, Jay...You're doing a good job with this project, Jay. Next time you decide to go crazy and print 300 cards, could you let the rest of us know? If you tell us which MSE file you're using and when you're playing we can arrange to play in our own groups as well and then share our input. I like a ton of the notes you placed in the file in the last day. I fell like playtesting pushes us ahead by miles instead of inches. What's our revised calendar for this project, btw.Nich Graysonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5479847193762153273.post-66108534491450231342012-01-01T01:46:54.030-05:002012-01-01T01:46:54.030-05:00I always thought including hybrid mana in M13 woul...I always thought including hybrid mana in M13 would have been a good idea. By only using allied-hybrid at common and uncommon, that really reinforces "these colors are actually similar", and also helps showing how they both share concepts. Further, it still encourages multicolor decks, and it also is an interesting draw-in for experienced players -- at least, I've always loved hybrid mana.<br /><br />At rare, you could have the quirky "If you spent C to cast this, ... if you spent D to cast this,...", which is also a very cool effect. You could even have a small cycle of monohybrid, even!<br /><br />Of course, it might be too late for this... but I thought I'd chime in, as a newcomer.Inanimatenoreply@blogger.com
