Restoration Angel is pretty crazy. Vexing Devil will be great, but not as much in T2 as people are thinking. He'll shine in the modern and legacy burn decks that would be playing things like Lava Spike and Rift Bolt anyway.
I agree, he will find his way into legacy and modern burn variants, and I might actually build burn for my little legacy gauntlet thing I'm making. Trying to make like 9-10 relatively playable legacy decks for testing and sort of like a pick up and play sort of things with friends.
GRRRRR back to coding for design project :/ I'm soooo rewarding myself with a sealed filled weekend for per-releases before finals

Ready for the apocalypses? The dark side is always open
Anita Blake is another series on my list of "MUST READ" books. As well as the Demonata series by Darren Shan. I've already read the Cirque du Freak series, which was awesome.
And if you liked Harris' series it would explain your like of Twilight since Meyer ripped ideas off it
The Anita Blake set is great, but you can't read it beyond book 9... I don't know what happened to the author, but she had like some midlife crisis and they just turn into raunchy romance/sex novels... its starts to get bad around 7 or 8, but 9 is really good so you have to at least take it that far
Looking it up, it seems that Charlaine Harris did the True Blood books but they're all modern-day supernatural fantasy books.
Hamilton does the Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter series which, for the first dozen or so books, is amazing but has gotten pretty bland since then. Also did the Meredith Gentry series (completed) which is shorter, and a bit saucier. I credit Hamilton with the most convincing inclusion of vampires, lycans, and magic into a modern-day world where the supernatural is known to the general public (not a small feat), though Kim Harrison does a fine job on that.
Jeaniene Frost does the Night Huntress series (another Vampire Hunter series, and a good bit of fun).
Kim Harrison does the Rachel Morgan, The Hollows series (mostly about witches and demons, though the vampires and lycans are there) and does pretty compelling work.
Kelley Armstrong does the Otherworld books. Not as much a fan of her as the others but still a decent writer. It all feels rather scattered though, as while there's a lot of interweaving of the characters in her books each one tends to have a different main character that it focuses on.
Oh, I haven't heard of the Night Huntress series, The Hollows series, or the Otherworld series. I'll see what I can do about getting them, though.
Joss Whedon is on his own level of awesome anyway, but yes. Related, Cabin in the Woods was written by him, and is amazing.
You saw it already? It LOOKS amazing, and it's Joss Whedon AND horror. I'm already sold.
Harry Potter is a series that has always managed to fascinate me. I really have a love/hate relationship with it. I like the movies, haven't read the novels but don't like a lot of the fanbase of the movies/books. Maybe it's just me, but girls in my High School can't shut up about it. When this one girl said that the same actor who played Dumbeldore portrayed Gandalf I was going to go in to nerdrage mode ;).
lolwut?
Girls are so stupid sometimes.
Lord of the Rings has managed to be my favourite fantasy series (novels and movies, both amazing) which has prompted me to buy all of them in extended and regular edition.
LotR is amazing. I mean, how many writers create their own freaking language?
And if you liked Harris' series it would explain your like of Twilight since Meyer ripped ideas off it
Dude, you realize I'm a girl, right?
But I haven't read Harris' series. I've only read Twilight, Harry Potter, LotR, and the Narnia series by CS Lewis.

Again, girl, and one with a healthy sex drive. I'll probably like them.
Read the Dresden Files by Jim Butcher. Also Twilight books pretty lame, Bella is basically described as "A girl" so every girl can put their image there, then they take like a paragraph describing Edwards chin.

I already know whats in the helvault thanks to what got spoiled online. I won 3 helvaults in a bet. A person at my local LGS made me the bet. I think that Helvault will become a more valuable card although my track record on these things are pretty horrible. (see my collection with 8 Gutter Grimes, Phyrexian Unlifes, Xenografts, Mitotic Manipulations and 16 Helvaults.)
So my deck didn't turn out too well. Couldn't find the 4th Whipflare to make it work. So red white probably wasn't the best choice. Alot of aggro and alot of bad draws on my part but thats what I get for making the deck 5 mins before FNM.
So what is everyone hoping to pull in the pre-release tomorrow? I know alot of people look for flashy rares and such but I like to open up strong commons and uncommons. I'd rather win prizes and then open up good stuff
Work on my novel has slowed to a crawl. With the shifts that I have and the large amount of distractions its really difficult to finish anything substantial.

I really love the flavor text on that card. Believe it or not but I think that it's actually a decently powerful card for blue black control. Especially if you're getting in there with Inkmoth or a Consecrated Sphinx.
