Stormwing Dragon is impressively bad. I'm not even sure it's worth it in Sealed with a bunch of other Dragons.
It's like they pushed the sliders to full crap on every aspect of the card. It's even a 3/3 dragon WTF? I like how it buffs your team of numerous mythics and rares in limited :/

My favorite flavor text: Time of Heroes
Feel free to tell me yours!
Dudes, we might get like 2 more Jaces in one year. One for Origins, and one or Zendikar. 7 Jace cards is what we want, right? Its not like there are any other marketable blue planeswalkers.
I think we may become overloaded with Jaces in the near future.
Landfall, the adventure and archaeology theme, potential return of Kiora and knowing what happened to her after the cliffhanger, and possible Leviathans/Krakens from all over the multiverse being cast into Zendikar's seas? Full art lands? A major story fleshing out and affecting entire planes?
Damn this is going to be an amazing year in this game. Again.
This Battle will influence the fate of Worlds. This is also the first potential closing of a Major MTG story-line Arc.
Bruh, do you even Invasion block? Do you really not consider Urza vs Yawgmoth to be a major story-line, or do you not remember it?
I feel old now, thanks
Edit: As a sidenote, I can't be the only crusty old S.o.B who wanted a return to Kamigawa or Lorwyn more than Zendikar, can I?
Lol. Yeah, Urza's saga was a thing. In all fairness, though, that was a while ago now, and it was the last time we really had a story arc actually come to a close. In all likelyhood, this won't even actually solve the Eldrazi problem, just maybe save Zendikar from the one that's left while the other two are still out in the Blind Eternities somewhere waiting to become major plot elements again, much like the phyrexians eventually did (albeit sans Yawgmoth).
I'm not a fan of Kamigawa, mostly because, while I love the whole Japanese thing it had going, most of the cards just played awfully with the rest of magic. I think they honestly went way too heavy into the actual mythology, while they would have been better served with a bit more of the pop-culture flavor, much like they did with greco-roman mythology in Theros. It made itself too obscure. Not to mention the legendary theme was, in hindsight, pretty bad.
Lorwyn, on the other hand, is the set that I opened my first booster of, and I would love to go back. The tribes were all really interesting and managed to play really differently and be a lot of fun.
I just hope they do the 'Treasures' thing like they did on pre-release. I didn't open anything but I saw several people opening up dual lands. Very few opened power. But that made it so much sweeter anyways.

Gotta fill up those slots for the inevitable FTV: Jace somehow!

Kamigawa can die under a bridge, alone and forgotten in the bitter cold. I loved Lorwyn more than I could possibly love even my own child though. Probably my favorite block ever in my infinity years of playing Magic.

I'm not suggesting that they bring back the mechanics of Kamigawa (non-rare legendaries, wut?), just the flavor and storyline. Nicol Bolas has some beef to settle there, so it would be a good segue into a Bolas v Ugin showdown part 2: electric boogaloo edition.
Really good spoilers today.
A card that might not be getting as much recognition as it should, might be epic confrontation. G/W has some strong creatures, but almost no removal for cheap creatures like rabblemasters and seekers. This is at least more playable in a G/W agro deck than savage punch, since the colors lack aggressive ferocious creatures. Using it with any creature in deck like that kills the aforementioned creatures, and using it with a fleecemane lion or warden on level one also takes down a siege rhino.

If MTG is a part of your life, the formats are like relationships:
Standard/Block = The on-again, off-again holiday fling
Modern/Vintage/Legacy = Stable, homely. A ***** after absence/misreading
Limited/Sealed = Heart breaking free spirit
Commander/Cube = Agreeable, needy and expensive
Pauper/Peasant = Sweet, kind, practical, but shy and boring

Except that he is sort of pinned to the Ravnica plane, what with being their entire system of laws, checks, balances and society.

"I hope to have such a death... lying in triumph atop the broken bodies of those who slew me..."
You don't call "dying to removal" if the removal is more expensive in resources than the creature. If you have to spend BG (Abrupt Decay), or W + basic land (PtE) to remove a 1G, that is not "dying to removal". Strictly speaking Goyf dies to removal, but actually your removal is dying to Goyf.

Which reminds me. Haven't they said Planeswalkers can't bring other beings with them through the blind eternities? What exactly is the point of Kiora trying to catch em all, if she can't even unleash them into Zendikar? Or did I misunderstand?

If I understood them correctly, the whole monocolored uncommon Dragon cycle has megamorph.

Ok, that is seriously awesome.
Is there any way to watch a replay of PAX East? I missed it.
Storm Crow is strictly worse than Seacoast Drake.
Are we getting a card with this image?
Wonder if that'll be the art for the "__ of the Spirit Dragon" land for DTK?
Personally I am getting real tired of all the revisits. I dont care if we ever revisit another old plane again.

Doesn't look like land art at all, probably the DTK version of Bitter Revelation.
Get rd of +1 counters and auras?
Dat sarkhan is wack. Wonder if i should preorder another box now...
Selling some cards I don't want.
Generally less than tcg mid.
Loyalty counters are put on a planeswalker as it enters the battlefield. If a creature just transformed into a planeswalker, it would immediately die.

Anyhoo. Ive made up my mind and will be playing black for origins prerelease.
Ojutai is cheapest dragonlord but has one of the lamest sets of abilities. Coincedence?
Really dont like that there arent any affordably small dragons.
