    Quote from Mystic-X
    Similarly, I've always wondered what the main difference is between a Wizard and a Spellshaper. What does one do that the other doesn't?

    Wizards like to sit around in their ivory towers and study magic for the sake of studying magic. Spellshapers are more like magic-using mercenaries. Instead of learning lots of magic, they'll get good at a single thing and sell their skill to whoever's willing to pay.

    I only play at FNM because a bunch of people bring their 3dses, and we play Pokemon between rounds.

    Brutal Suppression
    It's a very, very specific hate card that doesn't even do all that much to stop the thing it's supposed to hate.

    1. How many times a week do you play Magic: The Gathering cards or is it just an occasional game?

    Once a week or maybe once every two weeks. I try to stop by and play either Friday night or Saturday afternoon if I have free time.

    2. Does your circle of friends also play Magic cards or do you find yourself talking about the game solely with the Magic community?

    Most of my friends don't play.

    3. Does going to competitions and gatherings give you a sense of belonging because you all have a certain thing in common?

    Sure. The regular EDH players at the local game store are a lot of fun.

    4. If you have ever played Dungeons and Dragons, do you find Magic influenced by it, or is it completely different?

    I'm not really familiar with D&D. It seems like they're both influenced by some of the same fantasy and mythology things.

    5. How long have you played?

    I learned to play sixteen years ago, but I've been playing on-and-off since then.

    Firedrinker Satyr is known as That New Jackal Pup since no one can bother to remember its name.

  • posted a message on Red one-drop rare creature
    I would be very surprised if red didn't get another one-drop creature. If not a rare to replace Stromkirk Noble, they could go for a fun uncommon similar to Rakdos Cackler.

    There wasn't one in Lorwyn/Shadowmoor block

    Figure of Destiny sort of counts. It's red, it's rare, and it's a one-drop.

    I bet they started off by calling it "The Looter," but then they decided it didn't sound heroic enough.

    Quote from Belgareth
    Does sound like a take on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circe but she actually had wolves and lions not boars.


    She invited Odysseus' crew to a feast of familiar food, a pottage of cheese and meal, sweetened with honey and laced with wine, but also laced with one of her magical potions, and she turned them all into swine with a wand after they gorged themselves on it.


    She had pigs too.

    Quote from ~Aura~
    It's a Circe top-down design so chances are it turns creatures into 2/2 Boar tokens (until she leaves the battlefield?).


    I think she'll have something like Rapid Hybridization, so she'll destroy a creature and the controller gets a pig.

    Quote from calvinw
    t1 cackler, t2 ash zealot,t3 hammer, t4 burning tree with haste pay 2R and atk with a 3/3
    is almost as good as t3 non haste burning tree into something.

    You could BTE chain into the hammer on turn 3 and they'll end up with haste.

    I'm really curious now to see what the red god does and how he interacts with the hammer.

  • posted a message on Lands up front
    I don't mind if the other guy puts his lands in front. It's a pain in standard right now with the three-color, 24 nonbasic land decks when they put their lands in the back and stack them on top of each other. I have to ask each turn what exactly they have open. As long as it's clear what they have in play and what's tapped and untapped, they could even do it Shandalar style and line up their lands on the right side.

    An aggressive red or green creature playable off of BTE.

    Also awesome red or green one-drops.

    Quote from JasonFin
    The question is, what mechanics can be said not to have succeeded the first time out?.

    Splice, maybe? I thought they've said that they didn't like how you could only splice onto arcane spells, and they wished they would've done it splice-onto-instant-or-sorcery or something instead.

    I think the minotaur lord will be red/black. The other article talking about the gods didn't mention specifically which tribes follow the black god. Also M14 had a few black minotaurs.
