A black mark on what otherwise actually looks like a pretty cool set. Transform's incommodious use and somewhat blasphemous eradication of the unwritten (or possibly written, I don't know for sure) rule about the preservation of Magic's traditional card back will blow over in due time, but I'm afraid that its impact on in-person drafting will not, especially when you consider the fact that there will be a card with Transform in every single pack. The mechanic itself is quite interesting in terms of gameplay, and the double-sided cards will probably all be generally aesthetically pleasing, but utilizing multiple insipid proxies with only one distinguishing mark doesn't sound very fun. So, unfortunately, this appears to be another questionable decision, coming off of three straight dreadful Standard seasons, the controversial upholding of the Reserve List, the ratification of a fourth rarity, smaller set sizes, a poor Modern starting point, etc.
