If there is going to be one or more cards that can remove emblems, it will be interesting to see how Wizards of the Coast balances the niche ability. Planeswalkers often have to gain a significant amount of loyalty before they can create an emblem with their “ultimate” ability, something that’s known to be quite difficult in a game of Magic. It’s certainly possible that emblems are what Mark Rosewater was hinting at here, so perhaps that’s about to change. One possibility that jumps to mind is emblems, which are usually created by planeswalkers such as Wrenn and Seven.Įmblems are well-known as a card type that cannot currently be interacted with by any means in the game once they have been created. One of Rosewater’s bullet points says that there will be a new mechanic that “removes something never removed before.” Players on Reddit joked that we’ll finally be able to “remove target player from the game,” but what Rosewater is actually referring to is somewhat unclear.
