This year saw a major dip in preconstructed decks, true enough
The top card doesnt move very much (if at all) in a single riffle.) Not shuffling enough in real life is the main reason that people complain about the MTGO shuffler
Think of it this way: If you have to physically move a die to represent counters on a permanent changing, it counts as putting counters on that card
We dont have to make Universes Beyond cards that are simple - we just have to pick moments that are recognizable, and theyll be easy for fans to understand. As for how exactly they translate those moments and the world around them into a Magic set, Head Designer Mark Rosewater tells me Magics color pie is robust enough that we have the ability to show heroism and villainy in all five colors. As an example, Rosewater says Spider-Man would be white, blue, and green (although the specific version in the Scene Box above is only those first two)
Honorable Mention As I mentioned, I dont really have a +1/+1 counter themed deck
I picked up this win with an Aurelia deck Id say is in the 7-8 range, but the only reason I did
