I guess the Borg should be a strong theme in the Star Trek set since they've kinda become this ever present threat.

I hope we get representation for all the franchise including the kids from Prodigy. This would also be an opportunity to showcase non-animated versions of the LD cast.

I want reality fracture to be like the TS block, full of callbacks and alternate versions of cards. Bring back failed mechanics like Sweep and Chroma.

I hope the climax is all the big threats from the past converging on one point and destroying each other. Bolas + Emrakuul + Yawgmoth + Marit Lage

Obviously, in the Hobbit, they can reprint a ton of LotR cards. The One Ring, Sting, Glamdring, etc. (Special guest reprints of the Fellowship with variants based on the Movie actors would really sell packs)

Be intentional with creature designs to reskin them as Legends in other sets.

I want cards for Daredevil and the Kingpin in Marvel Superheroes. I also want cards that hate on Mutants. Also, a Sauron card that turns creatures into Dinosaurs.

Let's get some Legenday Vehicles now that they can be commanders. Hulk Buster Armor, Phoenix Buster, the SHIELD Helicarrier, etc

We gotta get another sheet of the Spell Archive. Please reprint Withering Torment so I don't have to use the Duskmourn art.

Please reveal that the Stadium was destroyed during the Phyrexian Invasion, so that we can shed any vestiges of HP

The TMNT set... I don't like it at all. But I guess I'd like to see Triceradons get cards because I own a Dinosaur set.

Let's get crazy, a reprint of Mana Vault that's the Turtle Lair.

I think they said students from Strixhaven are studying in Lorwyn, so I want to see the people of Lorwyn react to seeing Humans (maybe for the first time).

If the magic of Bloomburrow turned people into animals, will the great Aurora flip humans between Light and Dark, too?

Roy_DCM @roydcm4.bsky.social · 6h

Here's something fun... can I think of two things I want to see in each set next year?

Roy_DCM @roydcm4.bsky.social · 7h

The wave that transforms Lorwyn into Shadowmoor is called the Morningtide / Eveningtide.

I hope we get a card to represent Eveningtide.

Roy_DCM @roydcm4.bsky.social · 7h

So apparently, this thing is responsible for the Light / Dark cycle in Lorwyn.

I like it because it reminds me of the Spirit of the Forest from Princess Mononoke.

They included it on one of the DTVs long time ago... the first Wonder Woman (I think) along with the first episode of Linda Carter's WW series

As is traditional

Another thing they could do is print new versions of Phage and Akroma with MELD.

(It's criminal that Akroma has 3 cards already and Phage only has 1)

Guys new scamming method on bluesky. Please share this around. Dont fall for this stuff

Block, move on.

Reality Fracture could be an opportunity to print an updated version of the Nephilim, change them just a smidge and let them be Legendary.

Roy_DCM @roydcm4.bsky.social · 13h

I think at one point they said that Karona has existed previously... let's take a glimpse at a previous version.

(It's kinda like she's a hidden character, and when you perform the right actions, she just shows up)

Roy_DCM @roydcm4.bsky.social · 13h

I wonder what Reality Fracture is going to be about.

I hope it's another Time Spiral style set filled with call backs.

I would love a new version of Karona, or ... she's supposed to be an Avatar. Let's see whatever she's an avatar for. (Like Scion of the Ur-Dragon, and the Ur-Dragon)

Godzilla doesn't tolerate kings and neither should you

I wish I could get a nickle every time I click "Hide Post" because of how often people put that dumbass' face on my timeline

Roy_DCM @roydcm4.bsky.social · 1d

This your first time watching Castle in the Sky?

I love it. Reminds me of Final Fantasy

Roy_DCM @roydcm4.bsky.social · 1d

I just had a grand slam of an idea...

You know what would knock people's socks off

Ultra Instinct - Pikkon

Roy_DCM @roydcm4.bsky.social · 1d

Dragonball (to an extent) is kinda the oldest anime I've watched. So I couldn't testify on exactly how pervasive it was in Japan before Dragonball, but I only made the connection between King Piccolo and other Demon Kings a few months back.

Roy_DCM @roydcm4.bsky.social · 1d

Like, in the original Legend of Zelda, Gannon was a "Demon King" that had returned.

Roy_DCM @roydcm4.bsky.social · 1d

I really should analyze the Red Ribbon arc.

Obviously, the first arc is riffing on Journey to the West.
Then there's the RR Arc.
Then we get the King Piccolo arc, which is pretty cool, BUT...

It's astonishing how much the trope of "The Demon King" gets used in anime BEFORE isekai.
