DOMINARIA UNITED LEGENDS MEGATHREAD
I'm not going to cover every legendary card from #MTGDominaria here, just the ones that I have something to say about. 1/X

These characters were mostly decided upon during Vision Design, when @anniecurruts and I worked together on a list of characters. During set design, many characters were added, changed, or swapped around, but I don't have as much insight into that, so not as much to say. 2/X
At first, I wanted DMU to have very few repeated legendary characters from the 2018 Dominaria set. Once the rubber hit the road, however, we ended up including quite a few returning characters due to story needs and mechanical best-fits. 3/X
THE PAINLAND THREAD
We reprinted six of the Ice Age / Apocalypse "painlands" in #MTGDominaria. Why these six cards, and not any of the other four? Read on to find out! #WOTCstaff 1/6

We knew we wanted to reprint the allied painlands to help to balance mana bases in the Pioneer format, where only the enemy colored painlands were legal. The challenge was in the cards' names: several of them had proper nouns unique to Dominaria. 2/6
Dominaria United and The Brothers' War provided the opportunity we needed. We could stick the allied lands in one set and the enemy lands in the other. Easy-peasy! But not so fast! 3/6
LEGENDS RETOLD MEGATHREAD
I led the design process for the box toppers for #MTGDominaria. These cards are updated designs representing characters that appeared as legendary creatures in the 1994 Legends set.

Before we get into card-by-card discussions, let's talk about constraints! It's important to have constraints when designing things, even if those constraints are pretty arbitrary.
1. Each card should correspond with a legendary creature card from the original Legends set.

1. Each card should correspond with a legendary creature card from the original Legends set.

2. Each card should be the same colors as the original card. (Jedit Ojanen is a slight exception.)
3. Each color identity should be equally represented among the cards.
4. There should be 20 cards.
