    Ouch..... that's gottabe pretty painful Smile Several of these in graveyard and cast another copy and things will go nuts XD


    Not so much, as the resurrect ability only occurs upon casting, not coming into play. That would be ridiculous if it did, but I think Demigod of Revenge already fulfills that role.

    Not only is this a good card, it has some fantastic art. As as giant monster freak, I could do with some more scenes like this.

    Quote from ForceOfTheDragon
    No. It's not playable, not for a serious deck anyways. I'm honestly starting to wonder if anything from Rise of the Eldrazi is going to see serious tournament play. Everything seems like fodder for Timmy casual gaming.


    I have no problem with cards designed for more casual play. The whole point of Magic is to have fun. If you want serious competition, take up sports.

    I think what is important is that it is a fun and interesting mechanic. The name is an homage the the tabletop RPGs Zendikar's story plays off of. However, I agree the term Level Up is a little trite. But what would you suggest? Power Up? Training? Beefcake Meter?

  • posted a message on Colorless Card numbering, Ghostfire and Ugin
    Yeah after some searching I found the rumors around the board, he's supposed to be one of the booster art guys.

    Also, I literally just found out what orb of insight actually did about ten minutes ago, so please cut me some slack.

    However there are three instances of planeswalker in the set, so unless there is a spell that targets planeswalkers or Gideon does, we still have a chance of a third planeswalker.

    Can you point me to where Gideon's rumored? He's the guy from the Purifying Fire book, right?

  • posted a message on Colorless Card numbering, Ghostfire and Ugin
    I made this tonight, based on the existing revealed cards. The order suggests only one card between Emrakul and Kozilek, which will probably be Ghostfire. Not much of a surprise there. However, I've been holding on to hope for the colorless Ugin to be a planeswalker in this deck. More realistically it will be a spell named 'Ugin's something'. We know that at most there will be 16 Colorless cards and 13 minimum, due to Deathless Angel's numbering. We can also assume that there will be two colorless spawn for each big guy, most likely taking up #s 2, 3, 7 and 8.

    *Note, since I just now figure out the eye of insight, I've fixed the numbering list. Ugin and Ghostfire don't appear, so I've removed them

    1. All is Dust
    2. ?
    3. ?
    4. Emrakul, the Aeons Torn
    5. ?
    6. Kozilek, Butcher of Truth
    7. ?
    8. ?
    9. Pathrazer of Ulamog
    10. Skittering Invasion
    11. ?
    12. Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre
    13. Ulamog’s Crusher
    14. ?
    15. ?
    16. ?
    17. Deathless Angel

  • posted a message on [ROE] Dailymtg 3-29-10: Sarkhan the Mad and Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre (& Bear Umbra)
    Sarkhan the Mad is going into my Black/Red Goblin Sacrifice Deck, "The Boggart Jihad". Kill Mudbutton Torchrunner to deal 3 damage AND get a 5/5 Dragon? Yes, please. Voracious Dragon on Turn 5, sac 3 to 4 goblins, Sarkhan the Mad on Turn 6 will usually be a win.

    Bear Umbra + Omnath = Pure awesome.
    Turn 1: Forest, Wild Growth
    Turn 2: Forest, Omnath
    Turn 3: Forest, Bear Umbra, attack with a 3/3, tap all lands again for a 7/7
    Turn 4: Forest, Tap all lands, attack with a 8/8, tap all lands again for a 13/13

    Eldrazi ain't got nothing on him.

    I actually like the Level Up mechanic. It might not be too competitive, but it looks like fun to play.

    If his level up was B or tapping was his only cost to activate the ability, he'd be a lot better. As it is I could still use him. At level 1 he will be a great way to pop enemy creatures and activate Blade of the Bloodchief for my casual deck.

    In either case, I like him better than Phyrexian Plaguelord.

    Iona suddenly made a whole lot more sense. What better way to serve her master than by banning colors entirely?

  • posted a message on 2hg payout at prerelease opinions please
    I think 2HG is a lot more fun to play, since you get to do it with a friend, but overall I do think its a ripoff. The entrance fee is kept high most likely because they don't want everyone doing it. And about the fighting over whats opened, I've never had an issue. Whoever gets better cards to take home takes home less overall, it's only fair.
