| Why were Beacon of Creation and Beacon of Tomorrows left out of Tenth Edition?
| |
| <br>
| |
| From [[Aaron Forsythe]], Director of Magic R&D:
| |
| | |
| We talked about including all five Beacons, but <c>Beacon of Creation</c> was causing us a few problems. One, we wanted to print <c>Blanchwood Armor</c> (which cares about Forests) and <c>Verdant Force</c> (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 <c>Birds of Paradise</c>, <c>Treetop Village</c>, and <c>Troll Ascetic</c> 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). <c>Beacon of Tomorrows</c> had the best choice of replacements, <c>Time Stretch</c>.

| == 383 Cards ==
| |
| | |
| I can't find any mention on wizards website as to why 10th Edition has 383 cards instead of 350. Anyone know why? --[[User:GeoMike|GeoMike]] 04:24, 4 November 2007 (GMT)
