He would play Miracles. If I know anything from watching Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokemon when I was a kid, it's that people that watch that stuff are extremely dumb. You could have the main character tap into the heart of the cards, rip infinite miracles to just barely win every match on the show, and people would still be like, "ZOMG ENTREAT FTFW AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HOW DOES HE DO IT?!?!?!11!"
He takes mail-in's. You can check out his website for where to send your cards, or if you'd prefer to have him sign your cards in person, I'm sure you could e-mail him about his upcoming schedule: http://www.vandalhigh.com/about-me/
A lot of artists have websites these days, and most will take mail-in's if you provide postage (I like to give them a donation as a thank you). It can't hurt to search for their site/e-mail and ask.
m14 is seriously lame, no doubt. Awful burn, awful removal (doom blade at uncommon :wtf:)
I don't get the lack of a 3-damage burn spell. Not even Volcanic Hammer?
I'm hoping it means Lightning Bolt is coming back, and they're waiting until Theros to avoid pairing it with Snapcaster. It's more likely we'll get nothing and have to play Shock and Turn/Burn as the go to red removal, but I can dream.
Show me one successful D&T list with 4 Hymns and 4 Thoughtseizes main and i'll show you four successful lists (Ad Nauseum Tendrils, High Tide, Esper Control, Junk Zoo) with 4 Thoughtseizes and no Hymns main. Hymn > Thoughtseize, I'll grant you. But BB is too untenable and they often only have one card you care about.
I'm not sure which is more implausible: finding Hymn in D&T, a mono-white deck, or finding Thoughtseize in High Tide, a mono-blue deck.
So are you going to be overjoyed every time you open a Ryusei and be like "[expletive] yeah, it's so flavorful!"? Because based on his inclusion, I'm not sure if I'll open a single pack of Modern Masters...
I'll probably be too busy filing away the actual good/valuable cards these Kamigawa dragons being printed as mythic kept as rares.
I can see how you might be disappointed if you thought this set would be 100% Modern playable, but you probably should have expected there to be some chaff.
Not sure where you're going with that. The rules change will still only allow you to have 1 of any Liliana out.
Post ~July 13, with multiples in hand/on board you can Edict > Play second Liliana/send original to yard > Repeat. There's no reason not to run the full 4 in any deck you'd want her in.
Mono-Red Goblins and Burn are both tier 1.5 decks in legacy.
Red isn't supposed to have powerful effects, red is supposed to be 'i kill everything!'
If red got mana ramp, who would play green?
I don't think they should give red ramp, but you certainly could do it without cutting out green. Make red's ramp dorks painland-ish, or just make them cost more.
Would this really be terrible to have: Red Ramp Dork1R
Creature - Goblin Shaman Add R to your mana pool. Red Ramp Dork deals 1 damage to you.
1/1
Or something like Rain of Filth or Squandered Resources. Both are black, (and pretty old), but you could argue sacrificing lands for instant mana is part of red's chaotic, all-in approach. Although these are more rituals than permanent ramp.
probablydefinitely coming next June, right before the three consecutive Modern GP's.Seat of the Synod//Blue Sun's Zenith
Ancient Den//White Sun's Zenith
Vault of Whispers//Black Sun's Zenith
Tree of Tales//Green Sun's Zenith
Great Furnace//Red Sun's Zenith
Probably my favorite cross set connection.
Yeah, that definitely happened. Ty Cobb was an all-around POS.
Pretty sure the rumor was that he killed a would-be carjacker. Both stories are completely untrue.

I'd rather just play Honor of the Pure

Another Llanowar/Fyndhorn Elves is nice as well.

There are probably places that are going to use their allotment for drafting, considering MM is being marketed as a draftable set.
