Tesla: Long-Term Planning


The Tesla project was initially envisioned as a stand-alone large expansion that would try to adhere to all of the design principles and policies that Wizards of the Coast R&D applies in making actual Standard-legal sets. But that was years ago back when we got sets like Rise of the Eldrazi.

With the new two-block paradigm, all Standard-legal sets will be part of a two set block. Even if we're only doing design for the large set of Tesla block, an essential piece of the process is looking at a larger block plan.

Designing Suvnica Hiatus, Week 1: Building Blocks

Hey guys! I've been preparing to take a bar exam at the end of July, and as I'm getting closer, I have to dedicate basically all of my time to preparing for it. Also, Suvnica has been picking up some major steam - I think that we had over 130 cards suggested for the Week 9 challenges (not to mention all of the further suggestions that have been showing up in the design review thread for the Golgari keyword). At the moment, I just can't dedicate the same amount of time to the project. Until I'm done with the bar, I'm putting Suvnica on hiatus.
