![]() ![]() You would take a pool of cards larger than a normal set and craft from them a draft environment. Was there a way to use an old card pool but apply modern design techniques to it? That was the idea behind a remastered set. ![]() This meant there were a lot of early sets that didn't play up to modern standards for Limited. ![]() Starting with Mirage, R&D began thinking about Limited, but it was a steep learning curve and it took many years to figure out much of the staples of modern-day design in regards to Limited play. I had numerous Ice Age games where I opened my boosters and said, "I don't think I can make a deck capable of dealing 20 damage to my opponent." Ice Age had a different problem where you could open all your boosters and not have enough creatures to fill out your deck. There was one red common creature in Legends capable of attacking for any amount of damage ( Raging Bull was a 2/2), and the only way to destroy an opponent's non-world enchantment required you to bounce all your enchantments to your hand. This meant that most Limited play was not the greatest play experience. Yes, there was some Limited play (mostly Sealed in the early days), but it was an afterthought, and the sets weren't designed with Limited in mind. When Magic premiered in 1993, Limited play wasn't something that was thought about when building a set. Was there a way to make new content out of existing cards? That's when the idea of a remastered set was first thought up. Magic Online was looking for more content, but they were trying to do so without making new cards. It's not a new card, as the set is all reprints, but it does have cool new art. Finally, I'll show off a preview card from the set. I'll walk you through the design of Dominaria Remastered specifically. Today, I'm going to talk a little bit about the history of remastered sets. Welcome to Dominaria Remastered preview week. (Editor's Note: The Weatherlight set was originally omitted from the list of sets that took place on Dominaria and where cards in Dominaria Remastered would be from.) ![]()
