I believe the original thread for this 'card' was locked. It seems possible but I'm not betting on it until wotc previews it. Also, zombies only dried up after Ravinica. They're actually quite a common type outside of Lorwyn or Kamigiwa (pardon my spelling).
Yeah I didnt scroll down the page :p.

So, we have a Lorwyn Block GPT for Birmingham her in London next Saturday and here's what I have so far. Any thoughts? Maybe, I should tidy up the numbers but here goes...
That's a matter of opinion. In magic however, and in terms of deckbuilding, Zombies is better imo.
Zombies are definitely better in deckbuilding, but I just love Vampires in flavor. They are much more elegant and dark overlord-esque. Then again, I would love to see Vampires get used heavily in a set. After all, Zombies have over 8 1/2 times as many cards as Vampires.
I share our dear Evincar's feeings towards Shadowmoor. The new art is amazing, and we're getting Hybrid Mana back. This is teh nuts. :D:D:D
That flamekin looks Bad-ass. The colors in the art are like candy for my eyes. The kithkin ACTUALLY LOOK SCARY! And it seems to me that the merrow are some sort of assassins... they just have this really creepy look to them. My friends, I believe that a new era is at hand for Clan-MonoBlack as Shadowmoor approaches! No more Happy Swamp arts in Magic at last!
It seems Elves go from G/B to G/W, Kithkin from W/G to W/U, Giants from R/W to R/G, and flamekin have gone from red to black... Boggarts are still in Red, and will probably stay in Black, and fearies also seem to stay in B/U. I see nothing like a treefolk here, though, so speculation on them can't be made just yet... thoughts?
"All these people having fun are playing for a gigantic 40000$ award, while I'm here sweating, players asking me stupid layer questions we all hate, and I'm thirsty.

Yeah, the flamekin are beastly awesome and almost scary, which I totally approve of. I did forget about the "happy" swamps". I had blanked them out of my mind. Thanks for reminding me of them. The only thing mono Black fears....pretty swamps. *shivers in fear* lol
See, what I don't gather is the new tribe colors. They seem to be totally unbalanced entirely.
GW Elves
UW Kithkin
RG Giants
R(B?) Goblins
BU Merfolk
BU Faeries
B Flamekin.
Now, I am nto complaining about Black, it just feels like something is missing. Then again, this is still speculation and not definite yet.
One suggestion I would like to place out there is the Treefolk? In this entire transformation thing that happend, could the Treefolk have become extinct and thier remains used to build the Scarecrows that we have seen in Boggart Arsonists and Lurebound Scarecrow that was spoiled in that SHA pack with Demigod of Revenge (Who is also bad-ass, if i may say so. I will totally love him!)

Treefolk are present, as previously stated by MaRo.
Here's some more eye-candy for everyone. There's too many pictures to post all, so here's the link.

Ah, really? I haven't really read many of the recent articles on Mtg.com. They haven't really been as good as they used to., so it hasn't been worth my time, to be honest.

QFT.
I found its becoming harder and harder to read through the articles without getting bored, Giants week is a big YAWN IMO. That is with the exception of MaRo's articles and Building on a Budget by Ben Blewiss. I quite enjoy those 2.
I really want them to start spoiling things secretly during articles, probly the reason MaRo's articles are so intriging is because you always know that there is gonna be some spoilers or juicy roumers, I also dont mind the PT Updates and such.
In all the quality of wizards articles has gone down quite a bit.

You know, I used to read building on a budget with JMS, but Ben Bleiwiss isn't as good in that category. I mean, he is a good author at Starcity but I don't like his approach to building on a budget. Even MaRo's articles are a waste of time to me anymore. Sadly, its barely even worth it for me go to go mtg.com anymore, though I do follow up on the Arcana.

Building on a budget is a joke with Bleiwiss. He used 3 copies of a planeswalker in his latest deck. 3. I can't even buy one. Who's budget is he running on?
MaRo's are still alright, but I wish they'd stop telling us to train newcomers already. There's been three articles on the subject this month alone. I miss the times when magicthegathering.com was actually decent.

No doubt. I think I just really miss the Jay Moldenhauer Salazar ( former Buliding on a Budget writer ). His articles were something to always look forward to. And his builds were totally budget, but if you tested them ( which I did ) pretty damn effective. Bleiweiss is ok but not compelling. As for Maro, I'm not a fan. He lost me with his articles describing magic players. I personally dislike the compartmentalization of magic players. Timmy, Spike, Johnny, Timmy/ Spike, Johnny/ Vorthos. Come on. I personally think that there is enough labeling in day to day life. I don't want it in the great game of Magic.

What I liked about JMS was he made good and effective decks for cheap from precons. Ben builds random stuff that isn't nearly as good. I mean, yeah, Assassins could be fun (in fact, I am going for a build different from his) but its not the same calibur as what JMS produced for us. I just wonder what wonders JMS would have done with some of the new precons, like the Elf or Boggart ones. He would have made them amazing. I just know it....*sigh* those were the days.

Yeah he certainly did seem to enjoy tribal builds. I did enjoy his pre-con evolution builds. My fave decks of his was Double Strikers and Haakon though.

I only ever got to read a few of his, didnt always have internet
I dont really like Ben Bleiwess in general, just what the articles about. Beucase I'm obessed with making crazy ideas for cheap :p.
Phew, this thread nearly dies for a second there.

I wouldn't really tatoo any expansion symbol in my arm... none of them look that compelling to me. However, I've been thinking of a pair of demon wings on my back with a tribal design that slips into my arms... either that, or plain out tribal on both my arms, ala Zell from FFVIII's face tatoo,
"All these people having fun are playing for a gigantic 40000$ award, while I'm here sweating, players asking me stupid layer questions we all hate, and I'm thirsty.
Yeah, I want to apologize for my absense too. I don't even have an exuse aside from sheer laziness. I was on spring break for the past week and half too.
On a side note, what do you all think of the speculated pre-release card and its art. I love Demigod of Revenge, though I won't be too satisfied with a giant, umm, yeah in my deck.
Yeah I didnt scroll down the page :p.

You know what the only that is better than Zombies? Vampires!
And whats even better you say?

Looks like I'll be busy for some time to come, so please excuse my absence.
See ya
