Well then, it certainly has been a while since we've done one of these!

This time, we'll be taking a look at a few things that have gone up in the past week or so - and looking forward to what's coming next.

Core Blimey!

The Fan Community Spotlight has turned its sights on a multi-part project recently - Neoguli's attempts to rework the entire Core Set!

In Part One, Demon interviews them about their Warlock and Druid sets, while in Part Two we get to see the changes they've made to the Paladin and Warrior classes. It's a pretty impressive undertaking - as someone who has reworked a single class before myself, I know how difficult it can sometimes be to pick and choose how to revamp a class. Which parts are worth expanding on, and which should be pruned to make room?

I think they've done an admirable job bringing their vision for each class to life. I actually enjoy that I disagree with some of their decisions, because it shows me just how varied some classes can be. There are areas they expand on that I would never have considered; sometimes I like the direction, and others I'd steer it differently.

Here's a few examples of new cards they've added that I think exemplify their work on this.

 

There's still plenty more to see of course, so expect a few more FCSs on this in the future!

Competitive Spirit

Of course, I know what a lot of you are looking for. When is the next Season of the WCDC going to be starting?

I'm happy to confirm that the WCDC will be returning with the first competition of Season 2 this Monday!

I'll be honest with you all, it's mostly my fault that we took so long to return. Sometimes real life just has to take precedence, and I didn't have the time to put towards the competition that I wanted to until recently. Part of what this means is that there might not initially be any changes to the competition process, but we do have several ideas earmarked as things we want to add or improve upon.

As a teaser for the upcoming competition, you can have a look at the banner for it below (which will link to the competition when it begins on Monday).

I'm happy we'll finally be back with competitions, and I hope you are too!
