MTG Salvation

Given that this isn't what Monstrosity does I think we can safely say "fake."

Does anyone else find it strange that every split card we have from an official source has two abilities that directly complement one another when fused, but multiple of these ones don't?
Ready//Willing
Down//Dirty
Protect//Serve
none of these abilities mesh like those on the previous split cards...

I have too many ideas for setting-independent creatures I long to see printed to vote another way.

"FTV 20: Celebrating all of the cards that people love, but would hate if we printed today."

I wonder if Bloodrush means discarding to pump equal to the card's power or discarding to do something for each land you control.

Sounds like they're falling behing on the "all buy-a-box promos are white" front...unless it's Orzhov.

The problem isn't just one of pure power level, but the wrong kind of fixing. In Ravnica draft it was plausible to splash a Lightning Helix in your GB deck off of two Boros Signets and a Boros Garrison. That's not what R&D's looking for, and whatever new mana artifacts we get will follow the guildgates' example and tap for color A or color B unless they're intended as seeds for Sinker/GTC/RTR draft. Even then, they won't be the signets because both Signets and Karoos were powerful enough to make the above theoretical splash worthwhile a good deal of the time, or at least not at common.

Hopefully that helps!

Quite frankly I'm surprised this is a mythic. The portion of the playerbase it appeals to seems rather small, but maybe there are just a lot more griefer types than I imagine.

This is being explored on Gathering Magic right now: http://www.gatheringmagic.com/julesrobins-022212-myths-of-creation/

I for one am sad to see Tom go. Of course he made mistakes, everyone does, but we just blame him for more because he's been the public face of development. Just because Tom's been the scapegoat for the wide reaching problems that we used to blame MaRo for doesn't mean we shouldn't appreciate all of the work and love he put into this game for us.

Grimgrin isn't listed as legendary, also the last O slot can be speculated to be a legendary UW Spirit (Mythic) as MaRo said they were giving each monster group a Legend, but the Werewolf one got pushed back.

If only Mirror of Fate were still in Standard...

You are missing the land card Gemstone Caverns.

If we're counting that, then Forgotten Ancient should be on the list as well.
