The Design Team announces the first draft of the new set

Cool!

I really liked the flavor-texts from real Literature in the Jyhad version, any chance that can come back as well?

Not even a wee tiny sneak peak of a single card?

Pretty please?

Anyways, awesome work guys! Keep it up!

It's generally way better to sneak peek definitive cards, not work draft.

Because peoples will assume that they are definitive anyway, and thoses drafts may have some glaring defect that nobody have catched before tests.

I agree 100%. This could lead to two unfortunate effects:

1. People debating heatedly about "how it might wall paper card X", or "how strong it makes card X", or more importantly "how it should be changed in factors A through G".

2. Then people would gain expectations and once the official card would come out, would debate how they would've done it differently.

In this we can learn part of the R&D process of the world leader in this market.
Of course, nobody can send the whole R&D to the Alps to "work in the creation and playtest of the new expansion". Regretfully.
