#rabiah scale

The public’s love for scales knows no bounds, so here’s the latest one. This scale is about how likely I think we are to return to a plane in a Standard-legal set. A few caveats:

• This is totally my opinion and does not reflect anyone else in R&D. Remember, I am not a member of the creative team.

• Like the Storm Scale, this is based on a general sense of the future without actually factoring in what I know about the future. If we are about to do something unexpected, I still treat it as unlikely (similar to how Madness was rated an 8 even though I knew it was coming back in Shadows over Innistrad).

• I listed all the planes we have visited on black border cards save future-shifted cards and planes cards. I might have forgotten one or two. 

• I am talking about revisiting these planes and not going to a new plane with a similar approach. For instance, Rabiah being a 10 doesn’t mean a new Persian-inspired plane is equally unlikely.

• Like the Storm Scale, 1 means very likely and 10 means very unlikely.

• With all that said, enjoy.
