Doesn't this set come out sometime in Q3 next year...?

The marketing strategy of, "We're gonna hype you up by showing you a bunch of headline cards from a set six months before it even releases and then we won't show you any more or even talk about it until a month before release," needs to die a fiery death.

Apologies for going so far back, but your recent message reminded me I meant to ask this.
In your talks with him, have you ever asked about the controversial art or was it something you’ve avoided?

Yeah we've talked about it alot.

I watched an interview with him and it all seems like he’s immensely anti-group, anti-identity, anti-racist. Genuinely a nice guy that makes good art (both visually and the fact some of it was so controversial). Anything “controversial” about him other than the art he made is just “he’s old and right wing”.

He is pretty controversial. I don't think its accurate to describe him as entirely right wing however, just has a strong disdain for the modern left. He's told me a story of a nazi publisher who used some of his art demanding Harold disavow trump for not being nazi enough, which he refused to do. So he's not nazi enough for the nazis, not libtarded enough for the libtards. He does like trump a good amount though. Never heard him say a slur.

He frequently leans in to the nazi image people have of him however and I think has a normal understanding of racial crime statistics, but individual black people or other minorities I've never once heard him say a bad word about. In fact he said he tried to make some mtg art to appeal to the black kids he'd assume would have been playing mtg in the 90s. So in that sense you might be able to call him anti racist.

Genuinely curious to hear more about him. Really interesting guy and the internet provides nothing.
Apologies if you’ve already answered this kind of question before.

Maybe Harold just knows nazism didn't really have anything to do with race

NICOL BOLAS IS FREE!?

Don't know if meme but incase not

Yes, Nicol Bolas got free from the Prison Realm during the events of Tarkir Dragonstorm and it was LEGITIMATELY NOT DEPICTED ON A CARD.


Listen they had to go back to Ole' Reliable.

They're creatively bankrupt and running out of things to fuck up.

Galactus officially bigger than Emrakul but NOT Marit Lage.

But for real, they'd make me happy if they bought back Dack and had him cuck Jace on some gorgon poon.


Edit:
I regret typing this post, I'm drunk and I fear I might have opened a gate to hell.

Looks like a genuinely worse version of barely playable in constructed uncommon Binding of the Old Gods except that for one more mana you get a 16/16 that might win you a game if your opponent just draws lands for 4 turns

I play Binding of the Old Gods in Commander (destroy permanent then get a surveil land is super good)

Totally unplayable in 60 Card formats...because its more than 3 mana.

It does beg the question of when they'll do Eldrazi. I assumed it would be next after Phyrexia being dealt with, but if they did Bolas first it'd be pretty dishonest. Mind you I do not care for Eldrazi, yet they probably won't because they've been banking on these side non-canon sets like Commander Horizons and Modern Horizons 3. Why do anything with the older narrative build up when you can just print any card you want free from writing? Even worse now is that they can do this with Universes Beyond which has been revolting.

Regardless, if they do Bolas first, it'll suck because they refuse to kill characters. War of the Spark had a chance to mirror Infinity War at Marvel's peak popularity and we got a planeswalker kill count of like 3. If they do Eldrazi, they need to revisit lore that's over a decade old and inevitably written by a (likely) less gay tranny writing team. Either way, we're getting something that will look potentially interesting on paper like many of their (in world) sets, but they just cannot help themselves and fuck it up.
