I just wish his name wasn't Tibalt... Other than that, cool planeswalker, That is the converted mana cost that Chandra Ablaze needed to be *or three* (and then obviously balancing the numbers) But yea cool cards like both of the planeswalkers and miracle cards are cool. Nice set so far. Just seems really far from the plane of Innistrad it's like we are back on the plane of Whatever where every style of creature exists with no theme.
This set is going to make some people very happy, methinks.
Key word "Some" let's hope it makes MOST people happy and not some. As long as they make this Divine vs Demonic war look cool and feel awesome then I don't mind it.
Actually, I think most people assume it is consensual, and that makes it all the worse. These women are accepting their place as slaves, and liking it. That is the problem with this playmat.
Whoa! Who says they are slaves? You say they are slaves, and that's your opinion. Also that's complete BS, your assumption that consensual means "they know their place" your assumption is offensive. There is ZERO context to this art so people make their assumptions as they do with most art... *without use of their brain*
For instance... Maybe the "Witch/Succubus" lady granted him a wish of gold and power and now women are all over him because he's famous and rich and powerful... Perhaps... Like in real life maybe!? *Don't even try to argue that there aren't Gold Diggers in our society...*
Maybe he also wanted women with his wish WHO KNOWS!? Art is always up for interpretation, and it's in the eye of the beholder what they assume the arts story is about. For the artist it's one thing, for me it's another and for you or someone else in the masses it's another!
I think the mat is certainly fine. I want one, have they said anything other than "it wont be given out"? cause if they didnt say it can't be sold then the store should just sell them for like 10-20 bucks each.
Whether I think it's fine is not the problem though, I can see how the art can be "upsetting" to people who have nothing else to do with their life but complain about sexual image in society. And more so how WotC wants to keep a clean public image.
You could also potentially find the image in full size resolution... and go to a custom mat site and literally make the mat yourself through the custom mat site.
They should be testing to ensure that constructed is safe too though. They failed with worldwake and new phyrexia to prevent JTMS and SFM bans.
It seems like it was only luck that kept Splinter Twin from really being broken.
So before cards come out you want the pro's to come and analyze every card and play with every new card and try to break every new card for about 4.5 months *about the time it took to "create" "caw-blade" I believe* before they come out? Yea seems reasonable...
They said it a million times... They didn't think Jace was that good. They knew exactly what they were printing in New Phyrexia and how it worked with Stoneforge Mystic... That's why they let us play with it and then ban it because it was just too good. W/e get over it that was like 5 trillion years ago on the internet.
ONNN topic...
I'm willing to bet the B/G one is far and away ten times better than the mono red deck unless the mono red deck comes with a playset of chandra's phoenix and playset of Stromkirk Noble's
Because small stores in rural areas or in foreign countries need as many tournaments as they can get. Combining two into one stinks for them.
I don't see a problem... You can always ask your TO or local store to run a Sealed Event...
I know for a fact that my local store does 3 prerelease tournaments and 1 release tournament cause no one shows up to the release event. And as far as I've heard this is mostly true for the rest of the US. For other countries, yea I guess it sucks. But you can always work something out with your TO and have them run a Sealed event for the new set.
Just wait until next turn and it will phase back in!
But on a serious note... Who cares? I attend Prereleases to get new cards, they are no longer new a week later and then I just start trading for them instead of spending good money on them.
I have read from my page say...15 through the last page (24) and I have seen no mention of any specific artist name or link to described art. If you are unable to provide this information, as either a quotation or link, I am going to have to call you on this one. (That's from when this thread was necro'd to now really.)
You consistently mention that an artist did a design for a new walker, but refrain from mentioning the artists or showing any art.
Or showing any link of any proof of this accusation.
Ral WAS a member of the Izzet.
There is no Izzet left to be a member of.
And yes, it has been confirmed. When they released the Cloudburst DLC, it came with info about Ral in the game.
There's a screenshot link in his wiki page.
And his planeswalker art makes ZERO sense with the plane of Innistrad so he either has different art.... *unlikely* or doesn't exist in the plane of Innistrad... So everyone get over it.
Turn one you are already on turn 3 *NO you do not have to play it if you aren't going to play anything else, people seem to not understand this idea* But even so I'm pretty sure I don't have to provide an argument for the card.
I agree with most of the cards in this deck. I am personally not a fan of cards like Brainstorm, Ponder, Preordain, or Jace Beleren and the like in decks like this. You aren't a combo deck, play POWERFUL draw spells like Recurring Insight or Blue Sun's Zenith or Stroke of Genius *Yes I do completely understand the interaction with Wanderer and Brainstorm, I just make note of the lack of card draw* You are also playing Clone, yea Clone kills a legend... What if you actually want to have that legend, what if you want a second Maelstrom Wanderer? Play the best clone card in the game, Sakashima the Imposter. Phantasmal Image and Wood Elves should also probably be replaced with Mana Ramp such as Skyshroud ClaimExplosive Vegetation. Even Rampant Growth, Nature's Lore, Acid Moss and other cards are also good. Also why is there no Gilded Lotus?
It is "Competitive" so play the competitive cards. I don't see either of the playable Eldrazi and you should at LEAST be playing Kozilek because you don't actually have to worry about it being stolen since you can kill it, or homeward path it. It's certainly on it's way to being a tuned deck but I think there are many clunky cards that aren't nearly as good as other cards you could play. *Not to mention that you are making a Competitive Primer, so you should just put the other dual lands and other good cards in the deck*
I'm currently deciding whether I want to play "Oops I win" Maelstrom Wanderer or "Oops I win" Riku of Two Reflections.
Would Invisible Stalker like this? I say most definitely!
Wait... So you are gonna ruin the consistency of Invisible Stalker and Sword of War and Peace/any other useful equipment for... Something you can't cheat into play by turn 3? Sounds bad.
Key word "Some" let's hope it makes MOST people happy and not some. As long as they make this Divine vs Demonic war look cool and feel awesome then I don't mind it.

If you say so.
Too bad this wasn't like a year ago... We might actually enjoy this promo...

It's gonna be one of the stores that get's 2 of them. *I'm assuming that the Helvault's aren't resealable after broken open...*
I don't see a problem... You can always ask your TO or local store to run a Sealed Event...

"the name of "Launch Party" will be phased out"
