    Seems to be him. Anyone doing the translation hard work?

    You are talking of it as a cantrip but it is not. The end of turn clause is a very real drawback (and the reason this isn't broken btw)

  • posted a message on Cockatrice undownloadable
    Whenever I try to download cockatrice from Woogerworks, I install it and then when I run it I get this message: "program cannot be started because the equipment lacks MSVCP120.dll. Try reinstalling". I have reinstalled and redownloaded multiple times and can't find a solution. Has happened to me also in two different computers. Any solutions?

  • posted a message on Magic Origins Pack 1 Pick 1 Practice
    I think you're waay overrating Unholy Hunger. It's a 5 drop so there is a real problem with having too many of them, and in draft it's just so mediocre to spend your whole turn killing a guy. I think it will be a 4th-6th pick much more than a 1st, and would have taken Thunderclap and Ghirapur over it for sure (the 5 mana spell doesn't even really answer Ghirapur!)and probably even the Alpha, which is indeed bad from behind but this format is about attacking. I prefer Celestial Flare also for sure: once again, 2 mana vs 5 makes it really good, able to let you gain a lot of tempo.
    In the other Unholy pack, I would take Blessed Spirits, Krasis, Akroan Sergeant at least over it.
    I think of it as Flatten in KTK, mostly. Never over a good creature, unless it's late in the draft and you really need some more removal.

  • posted a message on Upcoming PPTQ season formats
    Hey, I have a doubt and I'm wondering if anyone can help me.
    When they changed the PPTQ formats from "whatever the store wants" to seasonal (like current season, which is Modern/Sealed) I am almost sure I read the formats of the 4 upcoming PPTQ formats. They were, if I don't remember wrongly, Modern, then Standard, Standard, Standard. Been willing to confirm it for a while but can't find it anywhere. Anyone knows/can link to the information? Would be extremely valuable for deciding in what to invest this summer.

    Also, likely the post is out of place. I put it in Magic General because I didn't know where to put it. Thanks

  • posted a message on Name and Number Crunch
    I would see it very reasonable that the 5 missing lands are an allied cycle, that could or could not be rare. As Soupy George suggests, there could be 8 more rare land/artifact etc. But rarity aside, I think it's strange that there be 10 archetypes, each with their multicolor uncommon, and the set contains fixing for only 5 of them. Aren't they more prone to equilibrium?

    So you put 12 lands onto the battlefield untapped and have 15 cards in hand to play. If you play any sort of combo, seems hard not to win on the spot.

  • posted a message on SvenskaMagic Preview - Tezzeret the Seeker
    I think MagicCardMarket has a lot to do with Europe's cards being so cheap. Since shops have to compete with every random seller that is willing to send you his mythic rare for 2 euro, they can't really set a high price.
    Ironically this free market we have here is so american... =P

    I think Creeping Tar Pit, Celestial Colonnade, something else =)

  • posted a message on Are We Getting Any Lands?
    If we have a cycle of nonbasics, the first has to start with an H at least. Because we have Vial, Evolving, Haven, confirmed.
    I think it is rather unlikely and we should face what is evident.
    We're getting no lands
    Edit: no nonbasic lands. Full art lands still possible

  • posted a message on [DTK] Surrak, Caller of the Hunt
    Hey guys I want to speculate on Surrak. The name Ive found elsewhere but I have no real info about. However I think we know some things right now. He is monogreen and I'd speculate he's CMC3, since we got
    Zurgo at 1 mana
    Anafenza at 2 mana
    Narset (as a PW) at 4
    Sidisi at 5

    So Surrak is likely a 3 mana green guy (which is an awesome place to be).
    Sidisi exploits, Anafenza "bolsters", Zurgo dashes, Narset rebounds. So Surrak will have a formidable-based ability. That's all we know. What do you guess?
