if there was a land that said 'deal 8 damage when this land comes into play', it would be banned.
sir nobody brought up an interesting point this last weekend at MO state: instead of creating a slew of new themes and abandoning old ones less and less, we should be making existing themes DEEPER to encourage diversity and greater creativity with deck building.

Never posted my bans.New Jerusalem - Promotes speed far too much, takes away pristeige from Son of God.Falling Away - Possibly the most Anti-fun card ever, takes away all satisfaction of the sucessful rescue.Mayhem - First turn Mayhem is OP.

Is Rob printing more cards than I know about?Tin 20: offense: existing (Was really small and obscure before, is now a confirmed subtheme)defense: existingTin 21: offense: existing (New Subtheme)defense: existingTin 22: offense: existingdefense: existing (New Subtheme)Tin 23: offense: existingdefense: existing (Canaanites)Tin 24: offense: existingdefense: existing (Exsisting, but people used it alot less than Canaanites if you counted KoT)Tin 25: offense: existingdefense: existing (Canaanites)It seems to me that all these tins are giving people more different ways to use existing themes. The Canaanites is the closest thing to a new theme in this set. But even that theme gives a way to use a bunch of old cards, effectively adding diversity to the game without having to print as many new cards.Say I'm building a green prophets deck. Do I include cards from the NT prophets subtheme? Do I include cards from the 2011 set? Do I include any particular defenses that might work especially well with prophets? All the green prophets subthemes work with cards that specify "green prophets" so they cannot be called new themes. Just a way to add variety to existing themes.But, there will always be people who complain. I shouldn't be surprised.
Just to prove your other statement, Clearly Green Prophets (which have been printed in EVERY SET) needed alot of new cards.
I like the addition on the theme on imbalanced heroes.

Which way do you want it Smokey? Do you want us to add to the existing themes or do you want us to print new themes. Unless I'm reading this wrong your complaining about both...
