Dohoho! I see what you did there. No, this feels more like them completing the promo cycle of titans. The fall promo could be anything, but will probably be modern legal if I had to put my money anywhere.
Kinda new to the tourney thing, what's "friends limited?"
"FRiends" is the codename for the set after RTR block. They haven't announced its official name yet. It is next year's big block sealed.
Also, more Modern GPs in the midwest. Apparently that's all we're allowed to get (Lincoln, Chicago, Kansas City, now Detroit...if only Indy weren't on the worst weekend possible for a GP).
W may only be paid with white mana. U may only be paid with blue mana. B may only be paid with black mana. R may only be paid with red mana. G may only be paid with green mana. C may only be paid with colorless mana. 1 may be paid with white, blue, black, red, green, or clolorless mana.
The last 2 GPs in Toronto.
Scars Limited (2010): Almost 2k players
Modern (2012): Barely 1k
I don't know about you, but I wouldn't call 1361 players "close to 2k", though it's nice that a limited GP will probably get past the 1200-player threshold for the top 8 getting PT invites.
Basically, if you want to open packs to get cards for Standard and Modern, the simpler approach is to just buy all the singles you need and then set some money on fire to make up the difference.
Would it be possible for someone to post the schedule on here or PM me the info. I'm on a government laptop and stuck in Afghanistan and they block wizards site because its associated with games.
That seems like a ripoff. Why would anyone play that when the next spell you cast will make your opponents draw a bunch of cards? It does not even look good for mill decks.
The decision to make Primeval Titan a promo card was likely decided a long time ago when it was still legal in Commander. A Primeval Titan promo was clearly designed with Commander in mind because the card is obviously out of Standard and sees only some play in Modern right now. Primeval Titan got banned in Commander back in September, so it's actually still a recent ban. Wizards probably never expected the RC to ban the card.

I am VERY happy to see Calgary, Alberta get it's first GP. With ~3 million people in the grater Calgary area, I'm sure 1200 would be easy for attendance. I'm also biased since it's my home town.
- Too bad I live in North Carolina now But that means more american GPs for me!

They should have given a Modern legal more expensive rare/mythic, like thoughtseize. We need way more thoughtseizes in the market than primeval titans...

Thoughtseize is a pretty safe include in Modern Masters. Hopefully it's still Rare.

I felt like a lot of them cheapened the art or looked just plain ridiculous.

It is a shame its banned in Commander though.

Well since the introduction of Modern, the 3rd PT of the year has always been a modern event, with the first a year ago in Philadephia.
It normally goes
1st PT - Standard
2nd PT - Block Constructed
3rd PT - Modern

What you did there. I see it.
Anyway, I'm glad for this, even though it sees nearly 0 competitive play. I like complete cycles and this gives cubes a fun option.
As for the changes, I'm not really into the competitive scene, but it's nice to know that WoTC has increased player incentives.
Thoughtseize is a pretty safe include in Modern Masters. Hopefully it's still Rare.
