It was hilarious watching all the Kappas in chat when LSV mentioned how much everyone loves the jacetice league on stream last weekend.

Maybe this is a bit off-topic, but what does "world of hats" mean?

Bear Tribal would be... my dream. Their lord needs to be 2G All bears get +2/+2 and trample.

It refers to a world with basically one defining characteristic. The "A Piece of the Action" episode of Star Trek is a great example: An entire world defined by gangster archetypes. Actually, the Star Trek series in general are rather guilty of this, with a planet (or an entire race) having one theme or characteristic that seems to apply to everything, like how everything about Ferengi society is about the acquisition of wealth.

Thanks. I did finally find it on TV Tropes. Internet search seems to be going to pot.

Well yeah, they are governed by the Rules of Acquisition, you bet your ass their society is based around acquisition.

Re: [DOM] Dominaria (Spring 2018)

Looks like first strike AND trample to me.... and rampage.... and double strike... and fear, and menace, maybe even wither.

Re: [DOM] Dominaria (Spring 2018)

I agree, Bears are an underdeveloped and neglected tribe which would certainly be an asset as long as they dont mix them up with other types like they did with other tribes. Just imagine what a huge turn-off something like a 'Bear Wizard' would be. I always loved the simplicity of the bear tribe and the suggested cards above would perfectly fit into it, especially the +2/+2 one. Unfortunately, telling from the cards spoiled so far, their focus seems to lay on 'dinosaurs' which couldn't be any more corny.

Re: [DOM] Dominaria (Spring 2018)

I think the issue is literally that Bears were always 2/2, but wolves are 2/2 in most cases. They don't want to make them 3/3 because that's what "Beasts" are and the history of bears as 2/2 may look bad or something; but 2/2 feels dumb because wolves are 2/2. I think if bears were 2/3 standard, that would fix this oddity.

What's the chances of Yawgmoth coming back and us getting a Yawgmoth planeswalker?

Yawgmoth is completely dead. And he was never a planeswalker to begin with. His legacy lives on in form of the black goo that made New Phyrexia.

Re: [DOM] Dominaria (Spring 2018)

Because Yawgmoth, belonging to the black side of the colorwheel, being dead is a problem? And he can't be resurrected and become a Planewalker? I don't see it as so out there of an idea. And I would play the heck out of an Yawgmoth planewalker. God forbid wizards ever does anything cool with their planeswalkers.. cause I need like a 10th Jace..

Phyrexians can't become planeswalkers. Full stop. Those are mutually exclusive.

Karn even lost his own spark when he got corrupted in the New Phyrexia arc. His current spark is Venser's.

LOL that's the point though, the whole species was left up to the whim of some writer somewhere and they decided that 100% of all Ferengi everywhere are pretty much beholden to one set of morals - it'd be like if 100% of humanity were Buddhists, or if we all had American values but only cared about amassing a giant collection of firearms. We're demonstrably more diverse than that, but alien species are seldom described with such richness, it's typically "Ferengi greedy! Klingons fight! Romulans scheme!" And this describes 99% of their population save the one or two outliers that pop up for an episode and are conveniently disposed of
