hairlessThoctar posted a message on Theros PantheonPosted in: Magic StorylineQuote from Stardust"The twins of war"? Did you make that up, or do we have confirmation that these two are actually twins?
Quote from Planeswalker"s Guide to Theros »The Setessan warriors pay homage here to the Twins of War, Iroas and Mogis; they see honor and fear as equal parts in victory.
Fraternal, evidently.
Quote from Flisch
I'm sorry. By "Karametra's design" Imeant "the design of the statue", which means I think the statue depicts Karametra. Karametra being GW is pretty much confirmed at this point.
"Pretty much" nothing. She is explicitly called out in reverence on a white card and a green card.
100% confirmed. -

Card, Deck and Mana Tags - A Beginner's Guide
Welcome to MTGSalvation! If you've already been out snooping around in the Magic forums, you've probably seen some decklists or card names with fancy boxes, hyperlinked cards and all that jazz. How can you do the same? Good question! Lucky for you, it's easy! This quick tutorial will give you all the basics for how to use Card, Cards, Deck and Mana tags.
Still have more questions? The Technical Support forum can be a great help in getting any other technical problems figured out. Check out the Technical Support FAQ for any quick questions on signatures, avatars, BBCode, you name it!
So what are Card tags?
Card tags are a simple type of coding that you can put around card names or around complete deck lists to turn all the card names into links to their card images. This is obviously useful during discussion where some might not have a particular card memorized.
[CARD]
We'll start out with the simplest, the [CARD] tag. Just put [CARD] directly before and [/CARD] directly after the card name, and it will magically turn into a link! For example, writing [CARD]Black Lotus[/CARD] will become Black Lotus once everything is posted. I told you it was easy!
There are two cool things you can do here though. The first is linking to cards without writing out their full name. [CARD=Akroma, Angel of Wrath]Akroma[/CARD] will become Akroma, with a link to the full card! You can do this with any text you like. [CARD=Repercussion]This card is awesome[/CARD] will become This card is awesome, which is certainly true.
The second cool thing is selecting a specific set to link to. Normally the link will default to the most recent printing of a card, but if you want to link to a specific version, use | to denote that. [CARD]Stone Rain|Ice Age[/CARD] will become Stone Rain, with a link to the set you want. You can also mix these two cool things! [CARD=Stone Rain|Ice Age]The Best Stone Rain[/CARD] will become The Best Stone Rain.
Not efficient enough for you? Well, you can do everything I just said, but simply use [C][/C] in place of [CARD][/CARD]. Why, that's even easier!
- 4 Fireball (direct damage)
- 1x Black Lotus
- 12 Dancing Scimitar [Because I didn't have the Masticore]
- 3x Kird Ape - early beater
- 2 Forests
- 1 Squee because he's awesome
As you can see, the tags automatically link all the words at the beginning of each sentence. Numbers and x's before the first words aren't included in these links, so you can also type how many copies of one card your deck uses without fear.The card link stops when the sentence is completed, but is also cut off by parentheses, brackets and dashes. You should use these for any comments you want to make, otherwise the link will break like it did for Squee above. Also, make sure you correctly spelled the names of the cards. Forests will not link to Forest and Squee will not link to Squee, Goblin Nabob.

Quick Buttons
Don't worry, you don't need to remember all of this! Thankfully, there are quick buttons you can use so you don't have to type out each tag. Just press the 'Go Advanced' button in the Quick Reply box and highlight a card name you would like to tag. If you want to use the [CARD]-tag, press the button to create a [CARD]-tag around the selected text. If you want to use the [CARDS]-tag, select a piece of text and press the button. For the [DECK]tag, you need to select your complete deck list and press the button. Simple!
[MANA]
There are two ways to use mana symbols in your post.
You can use the standard mana codes...

Like the other tags, the [MANA] tag also has a quick button: just press button to quickly [MANA] tag something.
Whew! We're done. Now I'm sure you're keen to try all this out, so head on down to the Testing Grounds where you can create a new thread and play around with all your new-found powers. Good luck and have fun!

This issue is pretty simple. Simple enough that you don't need crazy analogies. Here you go!

That's pretty much all there is to it. I personally don't want to trade with people who aren't in good standing because they've got less to lose if they do rip someone off.

Okay, sure. Let's say I agree with all of the above. Do you think a simple spell like Disintegrate is going to be enough to beat them? I'm not saying that they can't be RFG'd, just that regular run-of-the-mill exile spells simply aren't going to be enough to deal with them. Three oldwalkers couldn't beat them. They surely tried a Swords to Plowshares...
Probably they would suck the mana from the powerstones, thank Karn for the appetizer, then eat him as the main course. Not sure where you're getting the idea that the two stones have the ability to control someone's mind...
