Question of the Week for LR 282
🕑 Added 2015-04-24 17:43:59 +0000 UTC We'll have Ian Duke from WotC R&D on the show to talk Tempest Remastered, so maybe aim the questions to him about that? Seems right.Comments

Ian, what do you imagine the player base of Tempest: Remastered to look like, is it more for casual/nostalgic play, or do you also think there's room for spikes? Regarding the spike-ier demographic, what does the set have to offer to a nuts and bolts spike? It's not a format that will be played competitively, and most of the mechanics (I'm guessing) are much different than post NWO magic design/development. Finally, to just offer a third angle of approach in this lengthy question, how do you think Tempest: Remastered can serve as a tool to help limited players that weren't around for the first Tempest block? Best, Seth P.S. Thanks for all your great PT coverage (goes to Marshall and LSV too).
Rob Dennis
Moreso for Ian, than about Tempest. Ian started doing commentary for PT:DC and was great right from the start. Was this the result of pre-Pro Tour preparation? If so, what form did that take? I ask because being able to intelligently explain anything complex to a diverse audience is an undervalued life skill and we could all improve at it.

When do you know that specific cards need to be set at a new rarity? Tempest Remasters is full of cards that moved up and down - do any of them stand out to you?
Matthew Hall
For a new player who has never played Tempest, would Tempest Remastered still be enjoyable? Or is it aimed mostly at veterans of the format.

Why Tempest?
