Would giving them the lands types (e.g. Land -- Island forest) be enough to help them? I know in EDH it would have made a large difference (not to mention work with things in set like "Chained to the Rocks")
Would have been ridiculous in Modern. I'll crack my Misty Rainforest, get whatever colors I need, and Scry at the same time.
I can only guess how this will play out as far as good will toward the company goes. (Though the cynic in me says it'll probably blow over with little longterm effect.)
I had the near irresistible urge to say something snarky here, but then I realized that this line was comedy gold and I figured I'd just quote it for posterity.
Where is the link to the official news? Although not very likely, this could be a stunt to get more readers on the article...
Especially on a news site like SCG where the articles are probably sent in in advance...
I normally lurk, but this was particularly egregious.
Can you please provide a link to a single example where WotC has ever done anything like that?
I know it's going to take you a while to look, what with having to take off your tinfoil helm and the long come down from whatever psychotropic you're on, but I'm willing to wait for the the explanation for a post so absurdly inane.
Because, and this is important, your opinion is valuable and the thread deserves to know the reasoning behind such ideas.
I'm a collector and a casual player, been collecting since arabian nights till new phyrexia.
So, what bother me most is, how am I gonna put those 2 sided abomination cards into my complete set album...
Well, I think I'm gonna skip a complete set for this block ...
You're kidding right?
Of all the possible complaints you could have come up with, this is what you've got? Your solution is really easy, pay someone an astronomical fee to make a perfect cross section and then display them side-by-side. I'd be happy to do it for you, I'm reasonable and I'm pretty good with a kitchen knife.
Now that's resolved, do you have any complaints that don't sound like they came from a baby troll?
I have been playing magic since 1994, and have quit a couple times- always coming back (obviously)- each time because the game had changed drastically. The first was when Urza's Saga was released- I won a box in a T2 tournament, and realized that the cards were so powerful I'd have to spend a fortune trying to keep up. Mirrodin was the second exodus, when artifacts had been raised to a level of importance and color pie busting that I'd seen as egregious. I'm also the guy who refuses to play with someone who wants to use proxies for cards they don't own, and is annoyed by proxies for cards they do own.
Innistrad, however, has broken a major tenet of the game- the card backs. As ugly as the old deckmaster card backs have been for the last 18 years, We've grown accustomed to them. There's been talk of a 6th color, and Barry's land, but I'd welcome those two ideas long before I would welcome DFC's. I know change is an important part of keeping any game alive, but I simply see this as being too frustrating and annoying to be ok.
I know I'm not the first to post on this, so mods- let me be clear. The point of this thread is to find out what others think with regards to the following- will you quit magic over this? Will you shy away from playing people who use DFC's? (which I will probably do) Or will you embrace the new, and roll with the punches?
This shakes me at my core, and has made me take a step back from magic.
Given the way you've described yourself, you should quite entirely. This is not and never has been the game for you.
I suggest you check out many of the numerous high quality, self-contained, static board games that are out there.
try explaining why something is bad in your opinion, doesnt help us figure out if hes good or bad based on your blunt unsupported statement
On the contrary, it tells us everything we need to know about him, his opinion, and what he can contribute to the discussion of the card (which, btw, is an awesome reanimator target and will make multiple EDH decks).
How 'bout we just wait until Elesh Norn is completely spoiled before we jump to criminally linear thinking about what the color white can or cannot do...right? Guys? This is still only a card game, you know.
And I don't understand why people are so opposed to white being "goody goody". If you want somthing more sinister, that's what black is for. If you want somthing you can look to as heroic and noble, that should be white's domain.
Would have been ridiculous in Modern. I'll crack my Misty Rainforest, get whatever colors I need, and Scry at the same time.
Pretty certain it's actually a very cogent observation, that is applicable on multiple levels.

Obviously not.
He's clearly saying that you need to step outside your comfort zone and/or preconceived notions.

Shadowmoor was not a multi-color block.

No, this is the internet and he is WRONG!
Also, Koth sucks.
Link or it never happened.
Jace is good, even really good, but it's hard to say he was a mistake on par with Skull Clamp or Urza's Block.
