The Finisher
Reddit user evil_henchmen correctly predicted more than 12 months ago the timing of Dominaria and now our return to Ravnica, several months before the official announcements for either. His official prediction for planar visit after Ravnica? Vryn, Jace Beleren's home plane, because as they state "whatever happens on Ravnica will concern Jace, and it would be logical to investigate it further." So, now that it's all but assured that we'll be getting going back to the ol' Mage Rings with Jacie and Michelle’s High School Reunion, what's other worlds are you hoping to see Magic go to in the future?
You'd be surprised by how much fun you can have with no rules text!

The Finisher
This weekend the world watched the wedding of Prince Harry and Princess Meghan with pomp, circumstance, and British tax payer dollars live on television and across social media. And with Battlebond coming out celebrating more high-powered pairings in the near future, I thought it might be nice to ask: what’s the next power couple you’d like to see from Magic: The Gathering?

Colorless Commanders
We talked over the options, and decided on the following rules change: if you have a colorless commander, you can play any one type of basic land in your deck.
The other cards in your deck, including whatever nonbasic lands you want to play with, are all still subject to the original rule: "Cards in your deck can't include any colored mana symbols in mana costs or rules text that aren't found in the mana cost or rules text of the deck's commander."
STARTING LIFE TOTAL CHANGE (ONE-ON-ONE ONLY)
As the final balance change we're announcing today, the starting life total for one-on-one Brawl games will now be 20 life, lining up with one-on-one Standard play.

This week, Vorthoses rejoiced as we finally got to the Slimefoot origin story in Return to Dominaria’s tenth chapter from Martha Wells. With all of the attention paid to the famed Stowaway online and the social media marketing campaign #WheresSlimefoot, we’re excited to finally say: #TheresSlimefoot. So now that we have official canon on the Weatherlight’s most loveable Thallid, where would you like for the viral (or should I say “fungal”) marketing campaign have Slimefoot show up next?

It was confirmed this week that Gilfoyle, one of the main characters on the hit HBO comedy Silicon Valley, plays Magic: The Gathering when an Ixalan Fat Pack and MTG beer coozy appeared on his desk in the middle of a recent episode. Now it’s probably no stretch to say that five computer programmers living under one roof in the Bay Area might play Magic, but it is yet another feather in Magic’s cap of TV and film appearances. So what other pop culture crossovers are you looking forward to in the coming months?

Last weekend at Grand Prix Bologna, cosplayer Atlas Alters unleashed his Karn cosplay upon the world, and the Scion of Urza made his commentary debut alongside Rich Hagon during coverage of the event. Now, we’ve been graced with the presence of some truly “legendary” folks on Magic coverage before, but what “historic” figures would you like to see make a cameo on the mic in the future?
