I just want to recognize the fact that Wizards of the Coast made a new card type and it didn’t break anything. No battles have been banned and nobody’s talking about banning any battles. Some decks play battles, but you don’t have to play battles to compete. Battles function on MTGO and Arena. They’re fun and flavorful and they add strategic depth.

Probably the lesson Wizards learned from this is “we need to push battles harder” and they’ll come back in a year or two with some broken ones. But for now, I’m appreciating that they tried something new and it went okay.

    I liked the battle cards in draft, but I haven’t put any in my EDH decks. I think the ones that will end up being iconic haven’t been printed yet.
