Can I get an opinion on the new "theme deck" section.  Do you like the table? --[[User:GeoMike|GeoMike]] 16:25, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

:Looks good. Although it'd be even better with some light-blue, or other light background for the table. What do you think? --<b><span style="color:red">[[User:MORT|<sup><sup>M</sup></sup><sup>O</sup>R<sub>T</sub>]]</span></b> <sup><b>[[User talk: MORT|(T)]]</b></sup> 16:33, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Beacons Question

Why were Beacon of Creation and Beacon of Tomorrows left out of Tenth Edition?
From Aaron Forsythe, Director of Magic R&D:

We talked about including all five Beacons, but Beacon of Creation was causing us a few problems. One, we wanted to print Blanchwood Armor (which cares about Forests) and Verdant Force (which makes 1/1 green tokens) more than the Beacon, and it competes with those cards for unique mental space. Two, Beacon of Creation was a bit too strong in Standard playtesting, and because we were already giving green Birds of Paradise, Treetop Village, and Troll Ascetic we didn't want to give it the Beacon as well. So we cut Creation and looked for another one to cut so that we wouldn't have four of a cycle in a set (which is awkward). Beacon of Tomorrows had the best choice of replacements, Time Stretch. --GeoMike 11:26, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
