Please don't spoil Bolas. We already found out wayyyyy ahead of time that he was going to be in the set, and that was cool. But Wizards missed being able to spring the big surprise reveal on us, only fair to let them have this one.
wow, out of 401 people just less than half want bolas.
that doesn't bode well for the very vocal minority that want to see him RITE NAO...
Wow and less than half want, Banefire, and Child of Alara, and Conflux. I guess it will have to br STP... oh wait less than half the people want that. I guess we shouldn't have any card spoiled that way everyone will be happy
A 40 dollar mythic rare would constitute a must have 4 of that goes in many decks.
Stats About Mythics
-Mythics are on average 40% rarer than pre-mythic rares
(old blocks about 200 rares, Mythic blocks 35+ mythics)
-They are printing more new cards a year not less
(about 665 now vs. 630 in most pre-mythic block)
-To drop the value of a rare by $1 a mythic must go up $2
-In a 3 year time span deck prices doubled. I am petitioning for the removal of mythic rarity. Sig this to join the cause.
It's fun watching wizard's attempts to have their fun previews ruined. Having the set all spoiled at once like the good ol' days was much better so I say we rebel and have Zesty show us Bolas. Let Maro suck on that one.
i think this card is Freakin' awesome just imagine zoo with this even on the draw u flex "Nutz" any mana drawing the extra card u can pitch and turning up the gas on tempo and it still taps for mana easily a 3 of most likely a 4 of

Um, excuse me, what?
Yeah, we need to sock it to "the man" for printing, like, cards that we want, and then not showing them to us immediately, before they even start selling them. It's definitely fun seeing the company that makes cards in the first place for us get foo'bar'd in their attempts to do something cool and exciting for us. Let Maro suck on that one indeed.:rolleyes:
Let them spoil Bolas. I want to see what Conflux (the card) is all about.
I agree with Mr. Stuff. Nicol Bolas should be spoiled by Wizards. I don't think anybody wants Zesty to lose his job, especially in these hard economic times.
If you look at the votes, it's obvious what people who aren't posting here want. The people who post are the people who don't want to see it, but the people who vote obviously do. I want to see it now. It'll make Christmas even more fun for me, and if you don't want to see it, don't read the thread. Zesty won't lose his job, because if he could, then he wouldn't be showing us any of these cards at all.
I just want to know if conflux is Barry's Land, or a purple land, or something else completely. It seems to fit with this set, and it's really the only thing that interests me, as all the planeswalkers have seemed pretty lame so far.

WotC don't like the spoilers here anyways. If someone spoils Nicol Bolas before they do, there's going to be such a s***storm raining down on MTGSalvation that we may lose another valuable source of rumor information. I'm personally surprised that there are cards being showed this early, minus the information from the printed magazine...

This is probably the worst signature in the history of signatures.
Did any of you stop and think that they could do like they did two years ago with the Damnation teaser and run a quick Bolas preview on the website on Christmas? Wouldn't you all feel ridiculous if you blew your chance to find out something that might not get spoiled until mid/late season because you wanted to see something that was going up anyway?
Why vote on bolas if its gonna be spoiled by wizards anyway, obviously its the most wondered card in the set, it would be rather lame if wizards didnt spoil it on their site.. it will attrackt a lot of people to their site
OMG when did imp and hydro retire!!! You guys made rumor season fun, with the women in pink, with the letters etc.. so much fun. Its awsome that zesty was indeed able to fill the great shoes left empty. Also I had prevously voted bolas but iw ant it changed to conflux.!!

I wanna see a red/black burn spell....
Last I remember is Soul Burn, janky card but really cool none-the-less.
Then let me introduce you to the wonders of, Blightning! Blightning is both red AND black! It burns AND discards! It can be yours for the low price of under a dollar!

Ok sorry had to....
But yeah, Banefire would be nice.
hehehe.. yeah yeah, I know.... but X damage will be cool.... Fire Covenant
As it seems bolas is a clear winner, even if you add swords and anything than bolas, bolas is still higher.
nope. there could still be one more trick up zestys sleeve.

my Magic 2010 opinion
good inspiration +1
new things coming back fog, and L-bolt + a nicer orims chant. +1
no damn/wrath aggro may run rampant, though involving green -1
colors seem a little bit more balanced +1
a LOT of 'new cards' are copies/slightly worse then the old cards they represent -1
lands are nice, but new (+0)
the vampire and dragon they have are great examples of their tribes. (+1)
7/10
I understand your concern, but please take into account a few things:
If the premature spoiling of Bolas could cause actual harm to someone (and we've pretty much confirmed that it will), we need to seriously reconsider doing so.
The month it will take to reach Bolas will not be a cold, dead void. Presumably, Zesty and the rest of the Rumormonger team will have other tidbits for us to chew on.
Like Cavelcade, I'm a long-time lurker, first-time poster. Thought this was important enough to actually step up and say something for once.
I've been on the official Magic forums since I started, and I've browsed here during rumor season, but I didn't feel like creating an account until now.
Look, we're getting The Balls Dragon first thing from Wizards when they start spoiling. This is their big shiny set seller. They're going to spoil it, so why steal their strongest thunder, potentially upsetting them? Instead we could get something that we won't get for sure, and both parties come out ahead.
If you think about it... Its Wizards fault, and they should deal with it! (if they had done a better job hidding the conflux list, this wouldnt happen)
They screwed up, and now they shall suffer the consequences! (And the only reason they are showing Bolas right now, its because the HAVE TO, because they know WE know about him, if not, they would be teasing us up with crappy cards and MAYBE at the end, they will show Bolas)
Vote Bolas! (and teach Wizard to do a better job)

a) Lets let them have their thunder for once, and
b) Lets get something which might not be previewed.
that is all.
