why are there only 6 pathways, not 10?

I get that there are only 6 in paper, but still why?

4th question down on Rosewater’s Zendikar Q&A

Basically because of the way the color pairs split during the set having 5 pathways would have left either an imbalance or an important pair not represented. So they decided to do 6 instead.

Thanks! @Mburn7

makes sense, even though it would have been reeeeeaaaally nice to have thefour last pairs too. can’t imagine why they wouldn’t , but oh wel…

OOOOOH we are getting the last four in Kalheim!!! yay!

Of course, WoTC is evil but not THAT evil :smiley:

No green/blue…

Sorry, but I think all 10 pairs should have been represented, both in paper and in MtGPQ… :confused:

As said above, the other 4 will appear in Kaldheim, including the green-blue one (black-green, white-blue, black-red, green-blue).
