Why Has Kyle Massa Stopped Giving a Detailed Review of Every Card?
Challenges and Articles forum

I am a frequent reader of EDHREC.com, and one of its regular columns is The Over/Under, written by Kyle Massa, who reviews the popularity of legendary creatures in each new set, but, when he began that column, he would provide a detailed review of each creature, whereas he now mentions only several examples, which bothers me, since I appreciated his original practice of giving a detailed review of each creature; did he eventually decide that it was too difficult to give a detailed review of each creature?
What does everyone else say, about this? Does anyone here have any insight into this matter? I would certainly appreciate any feedback that you can offer.

Crow_Umbra, yes, that is what I presumed, as well, and his articles are still most excellent, even if they are abbreviated, recently, so I am very glad that he is still writing and posting them.

I would add on to what Crow_Umbra posted by pointing out that while it's not "you've seen one of that type you've seen them all" on any specific color scheme, the legendary creatures that are created are often similar enough to where the necessary card commentary amounts to whether the effect is a better cost manawise than what already exists. The long descriptions are mostly unnecessary now.

Based on his website bio, he seems like he is a busy guy. It's probably easier and less time consuming to do quick summaries, especially with how many Legendary creatures there have been in recent sets.
