I’m usually the one that oversees color pie issues and I wasn’t as vigilant on the supplemental products because I was less involved with them. The problem is getting fixed for the future though."
EDIT: Sorry if this is on the wrong forum, anyone know where I should ask this?
Ok yeah, I just saw that. He didn't specifically say what he's going to be doing though, so I wouldn't start freaking out just yet. For all we know, this is just part of a bigger gripe he's shared for a while now that when he isn't actively involved in set design he can't do more than just suggest potential color pie violations. Maybe what he hinted at is that he can randomly swoop in on a card in design/development and nix it as a color pie violation.
@ Gals - would you rather us talk about a graft deck again? You gotta cut us some slack here. We're not always going to be talking about something everyone else wants to (see: football, anime, beer brewing, college classes, D&D, cubing, nightly adventures involving alcohol and promiscuous women, movies in the theaters, etc.). As long as it doesn't turn into a heated debate which is better suited to an actual thread, what's the problem with random "on-topic" conversations?
Why? Why should cards that are being printed to play with cards that were printed years ago be constricted by the rules of today? It's not a Standard Legal set, so the whole modern color pie thing shouldn't really fly.
As he's said before, he can't do anything about existing cards, but reprinting them isn't adding new violators to the color pie.

You are a mod here and know that Ban List, Casual v. Competitive, Spirit of EDH, Proxies, and Maro are ***** that makes your job harder. And really, I'm being more grumbly than offering real advice on what to talk about. Clearly I have no sway or interest in swaying that.
So I may have eaten like 13 things of raspberries in the past few days... whelp there went like 30 bucks...
That doesn't sound very healthy. Or maybe very healthy. I don't know much about health but I think moderation is supposed to be a thing.
I mean its healther than like 13 bags of Gardetto's. Speaking of which I just found out my great aunt's sister invented/made them... Fun family facts I found out this month.

Oh I know. But we both know that people in this thread will talk about "on-topic" stuff no matter what, unless we start to crack down hard. But that's defeating the purpose of this thread and it really sucks when I have to card someone in this thread. I think every card I've had to give in this thread felt worse than any one I've given outside of it. It has always felt more natural to just let topical discussions happen and then step in if it feels like it is becoming so on-topic that it stifles everything else. Or when it gets wildly inappropriate and awkward, which we both remember.

Total side note but I like how people are discussing running this over itself.
Well, it has to be said that Kolaghan is clearly better than Kolaghan. Considering what BR decks usually want and how stiff the competition in this guild is, there is no way that I would run Kolaghan over Kolaghan! Kolaghan might make it in as the sixth guild card or so. Kolaghan on the other hand ranks several places below that.
It was so funny to me when they described this as a downgrade to the original Zurgo during the Pax East panel. I was thinking if this is a downgrade, they should really "downgrade" all legendary creatures. Haha.
My deck designing is quite concise at this point:
1. Come up with deck idea
2. Realize this idea is somehow fundamentally similar to another deck I have or that is commonly played in my group
3. Decide I don't want to disassemble one of my existing decks
4. Give up and do nothing
I don't see the point of this new shroud mechanic. It's strictly worse than Hexproof. Threshold is pretty bad too, Delirium is a much better mechanic and probably easier to activate.
Otherwise this card is a pretty neat guy. Dodges removal and grows into a Primal Huntbeast. 3/5

Yeah same. Glad I got my LiliOTV when she was at $40 as well.
I still can't decide if I need to get one, and Jace 2.0. I'm hoping not because for that much money I could get a card I know I'd use, if only in my cube. (Library)

Chex mix basically. Basically it has bread-stick shavings in it and thats what makes it different from chex mix.
I'll stop being a bother and just google what Chex is.
Anyone ever see those custom made cards? Almost nothing makes me laugh as much as they do. http://whymtgcardsmith.tumblr.com/

Jitakl, Lord of Illusions was hilarious;
+1: Put a 1/1 Illusion creature token into play. It has "When this creature is targetted by a spell or ability, sacrifice it".
-1: Target Illusion creature gains hexproof until end of turn
I just feel sorry for people who actually try to make cards, because of the people who just post whatever with no thought involved.

You can bring me a design, but I will then tear it apart and rework it so that it'll work as a tattoo. So yeah, like with any client, you come to me with source material and ideas, I distill that, and then we work through it.
Ha ha fair enough, I may be overestimating how different it is to put it on a surface. As for your methods, that sounds really, really tempting. I have a dark, cool unfinished basement....
I don't live very near Oregon, no. I'm in Alberta. I just have a lot of friends/family along the coast and do that road trip frequently. And having another language is never a bad idea. I really need to upgrade my French from "like a five year old" to "fluent" one of these days.

Thing is, in a month, I can't get supes far. And I don't have anyone around me to practice with (unless I try to learn Italian with my ex. Or a bit of Spanish with my sister. Either way, I'm spending a month or two away from either.)
I'm also planning on leaving my town for 2 months. Does that sound like ridiculously long if I don't know anyone where I'm going?
Edit: I mostly want it for my selenia deck as dropping my life and swapping life totals is the name of the game.
Won't work. You drop to 0 and then "Lose the game."
I love it.
Angel's Grace would like a word with you... It would also make me run Platinum angel but I see why you would think that. But yeah the illusion one is hilarious.
Which Magic artists would you most like to put on someone's skin?
I think it's more about the iconography of the image than the artist.
I figured some artists would translate better or be more interesting to do on skin. I'm still planning on doing Werebear as a chest piece at some point, but that's a low priority right now. I'd like to lose like 20 lbs. first.

oh can one you mods switch out The Looking for Group Thread - Used for locating other players in your area or letting others know where you are in case someone else needs a playgroup link in Commander Resources and Useful Threads with Playgroup master list please?
