#im so sad kids getting into it now can't just buy a bigass box of like 30 core set boosters and play kitchen table magic with them for years

[sexhaver]

re tenth ed Smash and the Ravnica flavour text, it was a direct reprint of the Ravnica: City of Guilds art/flavour text and 10th ed was in the era of core sets being reprint only and MAYBE having new art or flavour text but no narrative or cohesive flavour (except for 7th ed where I think for art contract reasons every card got new art and they tried to have some semblance of story through it)

[guy who just awoke from a 5-year coma voice] "ohh okay, that makes sense. so what do they do for core sets these days?"
