Why do you think they didn't add any PW hate? They haven't really got a clue in terms of meta and how to ballance it.


Or they decided not to rotate non-D cards if it is possible, and after making that bed, now they're sleeping in it.

They probably won't rotate out non-D cards unless they really screw up and put in a card that totally dominantes everything (I'm thinking tolarian Academy from urza block type shenanigans). But with rarity limitation, I find that that scenario is very unlikely.

There's no planeswalker hate in the set for them to add except that blue moon aura.. which I bet we get.

Ainok Guide isn't in the set and we got him... I was talking about D cards, but its great that we get that aura PW hate card. That aura deck is looking better already... And you can even tutor for it...

Forgot that one was in the set, I actually think it might be a good card to add to dedicated equipment decks tbh.

Is it too much to hope that we get Psychatog as a D card?

Probably 9k or so, whatever 64 packs in going by the estimated 126 unique cards which is the same as OGW. We'll be able to confirm later today when they drop the card list.

There is no set time but Chris usually lays out the Duels news a hour or so after all the normal Magic stuff right? So it should pop up pretty soon.
