Anybody got any lists for Rocco since Pia has released? 9 mana to get food chain sounds great from the CZ and I’m curious if it’s list still looks like it did a year or two ago.

Curious as to why earthcraft is spiking? I thought it was banned in premodern, so what's the deal.

Is this not just black's raffine's informant?

Does this being a 1/2 versus a 2/1 make that much of a difference? Helps block against rally better.

What's everyone's opinion's on this? Saw it 5-0'd and it plays two copies of beloved seeker of the way. Seems pretty tight with what it plays and I wanna try it out. Theory craft on what it's bad matchups would be?

Linked above is Donato's post on muddy colors. It's a short writeup, concise and not a passion fueled one as was his social media ones. However, his point comes across very quickly and direct. Hasbro has a chokehold on aftermarket sales due to UB. With the direction and huge boom in magic sales that is directly correlated to UB, the talented artists are being forcibly kept out. Donato backs up how Hasbro is abusing the artist with not giving them to rights to UB art THEY created with monetary estimations, and proof of WOTC sub-licensing the cards back to marvel for comic with no financial gain to the artists who made it. It is clear WOTC/Hasbro has thrown the art and artists aside to feed the corporate machine. What was a pillar of fantasy art commissions, has now been manipulated to only benefit one side.
