MTG Salvation

I'm going to be unable to play in any future games (that would be all games, not just League). I've changed to a new job, and long story short, I have 1 hour of free time a day, with maybe a little more on the weekends. And assuming I want to do other stuff than just mafia, I won't be able to play again (or host). I assume you'll want to keep my stats in for this season just because it would screw with scoring to remove me, but this is just a heads-up that I won't need any reminders or anything.

Well, next time you edit, you can remove my Marvel (again). This time it's final.

On that note: If someone is still interested in my two mini games Marvel Madness 3 and 4 (as well as the normal Transformers game, which I thought would be totally awesome) and wants to host them, feel free to PM me. I'll send you the details for each. They all just need reviewers.

Yeah, I saw you musing (I was enjoying rooting for you there). As an ODIN member (and the leader), I figured everyone would jump on me, otherwise I totally would have just straight claimed.

Cyan, I was unsure whether Thief would have drawn a lot of anti-Town hate.

Also, so I first intended to claim Rodney/Supplier, but then Seppel died. Then I was going to do Brett/BP, but KJ claimed that. My next claim was going to be Rip/Backup or Katya/Backup. Luckily no one ever pressured me for a name.

I really thought I was going to be basically town-cleared by Wheat until Karn CC'd me. I also think it's hilarious that in scum chat, my first post is promising not to bus my mates with the first 100 posts. But then I forgot who was on my team and ended up bussing Niv and Antny. AND IT WORKED.

I stated on THIS page that there discussion of the list being taken down was to be on Annorax's or my helpdesks. I STRONGLY urge you to do so.

This is speculation.

Ok, so I've partaken in it, but this thread is really dedicated to the contents of the FTV, not whether the mods should be locking threads. If you want to continue that discussion, please take it to either Annorax's helpdesk or my helpdesk. Thanks!

The mods made the right call at the time. It's easy to say it was a mistake with 20/20 hindsight. But when you're the premier website where almost all the rest of the web pulls their info from, that split decision on whether it's real or not becomes much harder. I'd rather have people be sure that when we post something, they can trust it's real than just throw everything at the wall and see what sticks. Sure we'll occasionally declare something fake when it's real, but we don't get people hyped up on something that won't be happening that way.

Of course, in practice, Arcanis being bumped to Mythic is little different than any common that they only print one of in the duel-deck. They have the exact same rarity in that sense.

I don't think Ob will be it. They seem to focus on pre-mending, so expect Jaya Ballard, Freyalise, Serra and Leshrac, though my personal preference for Black would be, unrealistically as it is, Baron Sengir.

Is there an example of this? Right now, we have two commanders previewed, one is Teferi who just happens to be pre-Mending, but there's also Gisa, who is definitely post-mending (and a creature).
Personally, if I were Wizards, I would select only pre-Mending walkers who have no chance of being printed, since any post mending walker (like Ob) could be seen in a time-travel block (like KTK...)

Did they really need that line about using him as a commander? It shrinks the art pretty bad.

Yes. In a sanctioned Commander tournament, you wouldn't be able to use him as a commander. Now they could have changed the rules themselves, but that opens a can of worms with past PWs as well as potentially future PWs. It's a lot easier to say "Here, have these 5 walkers you can play with. If you want more, house rules!" No bannings or anything needed.

Bahaha I knew these were real. Jeez...how hilarious. As many of us pointed out, the faker would've had to have gotten his hands on the new art before anyone else, but no "The font looks squiggly!"

And the paper's wrong. And the hologram is hidden. And it is quite blurry.

As I said in the SDCC thread, without hindsight, I'd make the same call. The font is still off and it's still printed on printer paper, but apparently the list is real.

You guys rock, I've unarchived the thread (and bumped it!)
