Re: [ELD] Four black cards (IGN)

It's also cool that we are getting an uncommon legendary knight for each colour if I'm reading the article right.

Re: [ELD] 5 Faeries

Also intriguing that we get sultai faeries this time around. I suppose they gotta make them different from Lorwyn somehow.

Also am I jumping to conclusions thinking that the Maraleaf Pixie is in anyway associated with Maralen from Lorwyn?

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Tamiyo, Field Researcher

Normally I don't mind Planeswalkers on tables. People like them. I even run a [sym=WUBRG) deck with them. However I'd probably rank Tamiyo, Field Researcher amongst the most dangerous. Being an Omniscience emblem for an ult is much scarier than most people think on the surface. She's also a great c...

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Arjun, the Shifting Flame

Re: 8/26 Banned List Updates - Standard, Modern, and Vintage changes.

There was that art released earlier this year of a human like figure (couldn't remember is it looked too much like a Kor or not) surrounded by many weapons as if it had crafted them.

Re: Zendikar Expeditions

I believe a few have already done so. The battle lands cycle ( Prairie Stream , Cinder Glade , Canopy Vista , Smoldering Marsh and Sunken Hollow ) were released during the standard showdown season in regular border non-foil cards. The others are a bit of a push though as I don't think any of the mas...

Re: [official] How long have you been playing?

Started in 2003 when me and a friend split the 2-player starter set for Core 8th edition back in 2003. We managed to survive (being 12 and not being the best deckmakers of the age!) both original Mirrodin and Kamigawa blocks. Enjoyed original Ravnica but we kinda fell off because being teen magic pl...

Re: Maddening Imp

In your interaction query as listed above both of the above creatures would be destroyed by the imp at the end of that player's turn. The ability as written and confirmed by Oracle does work on non-hastened creatures as well as mana dorks. However the ability only works on one opponents turn (as the...

Re: [C19] Hedonist's Trove and Grimoire of the Dead reprints (CMDR Central)

Grimoire is a nice reprint. Madness deck may be shaping up to be the best of the 4 in value. It looks promising for a deck archetype I would have said is suicidal in EDH a few months ago.

Oof. That's nice. Shame you can't deal damage to it yourself to make others loose life though. Probably more balanced that way though lol.

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Soul of New Phyrexia

Similar reason why this goes in my Patron of the Orochi deck. Any deck with lots of available mana will sink this creature in because having essential immunity to board wipes (minus exile of course) is great.

Re: [C19] Full deck lists (morph up)

The only miss for me is the lack of Morphic Pool . It's probably a little more expensive than is ideal, but still manageable. The bigger thing is, why make multiplayer specific lands if you aren't going to include them in your multiplayer product? To be fair the bond lands were printed in a multipl...

I'm not surprised by the lack of Ixidor, Reality Sculptor . It was likely him or Ixidron and I think they picked the one with more interesting play.

Re: [C19] Mothership Spoilers 8/05 Volrath and More

Beautiful. Morph deck has some very interesting options by the look of it. Dunno how well he would combine with Hapatra. Does blue add anything to the -1 counter strategy?
