Horror Revisited

I really dug this article on Kamigawa's evocation of the violence of war, in contrast to the high fantasy violence we are typically presented with. 

Kamigawa was a beloved set because of its incredible evocation of story, lore and art. I am reminded that Magic sets, as with movies, are comprised of many moving parts and a whole lot of people dedicate their time and effort to getting details right. Efforts that go all but unnoticed when they go right, they become so glaring when they are wrong.  

I'm glad they went back to the plane to get the gameplay right.
