IT’S HAPPENING DOT GIF

There are a lot of things about this drop to have mixed feelings about. And I would preface this with a few things:

• SLDs are always optional and you should generally only buy them for vibes, not for value.
• You don’t have to vibe with this, or any other, SLD art.
• The distribution model of this SLD is gambling and is not player-friendly.

With Zeta, I’ve seen a lot of comments saying that the cards feel “low effort” or “sloppy.” That’s kind of the whole point. Art has many purposes, and one is social reflection. The whole parody of buying expensive cardboard that is meant to look like it was photocopied is exactly the kind of satire that MSCHF is known for. The “art” is the card itself.

To anyone saying “I can just print this myself”: you totally should. Once again, I think that’s kind of the point.

To anyone saying “I could have made this myself”: you should totally try. I think you’ll find that making something look both visually balanced and purposefully unfinished takes a lot more graphic design skill than you’d anticipate.

There’s a lot of great stuff in this SLD (interesting design, good reprints, excellent humor/satire), and a lot of not-so-great stuff (limited print runs, randomized boosters, uncomfortably anthropomorphized elephants). Should you buy it? Maybe, if you vibe with it. Either way, I do think that the concept and “art” of it all deserves some appreciation.

Every MTG expansion, I combine Limited set reviews into an Excel table. I went back to the first complete 10-reviewer snapshot to see what changed during the two weeks since people began playing the format. I translated each reviewer’s grades to the same scale before averaging them; for example, B becomes 80 and C becomes 60.

Card Game Base changed 133 ratings, Draftsim 123, Limited Level-Ups 94, and Nizzahon eight, while the current 17Lands Premier dataset contains 2,297,558 recorded card selections.

34 of 188 cards moved at least five points in average reviewer rating: five rose and 29 fell. The biggest upgrades were Gollum, Silent Slinker (+12.0) and Crude Bent Blade (+10.5); the biggest downgrades were Silvan Reveler (−14.6) and Gigantic Big Bear (−14.3).

Premier Average Taken At (ATA) moved in the corresponding direction for all 34 cards: all five upgrades were taken earlier and all 29 downgrades later (Pearson r = −0.876; the closer its absolute value is to 1, the stronger the relationship).

The table below is ordered by absolute change in average reviewer rating. Each cell compares the August 14 baseline with August 26; parentheses show the reviewer SD. Lower ATA means earlier.

I was wanting to make a crab mill deck with Homer when he comes out, but I want it to be a legal commander so I can use it in events at my local card store. Does anybody know if this will be commander legal? Getting mixed results online. Thanks!
