I hope this is ok to do? (No copyright issues etc.? Please tell me if there are and I'll remove them again.) I've kept them reasonably small scans, but seriously - the art book is *well* worth the cash
Nahiri, the Lithomancer by UDON
Battle at Sea Gate by Slawomir Maniak
Ulamog Trapped by Richard Wright (similar to Aligned Hedron Network but from a different angle)
March of the Gatewatch by Magali Villeneuve
and Breaker of Horizons by Aleksi Briclot (Not a great photo of it due to its nature as a double-page spread, but I didn't want to be Breaker of Bookspines in the process )

kinamar posted a message on Emrakul TheoriesPersonally I really hope Emrakul is not in SOI, I do not want 2 sets in a row dominated by Eldrazi. Of course if they go that route I will accept it and play on anyway. I Know what I want is not Wizards chief concern hehe.Posted in: Speculation
I would like some time to pass a year or so, after all the eldrazi have rotated out of standard and many no longer really think of them and bam, Emrakul arrives and unleashes chaos once more! Maybe in Kamigawa, A set a lot of people disliked, perhaps people would love seeing a plane they did not enjoy the first time around in dire straits hehe. -

Jay13x posted a message on Shadows Over Innistrad General DiscussionPosted in: Magic StorylineQuote from MarkXero »Quote from luminum can »As for why it wouldn't happen before now, Avacyn's origin was a very well-kept secret for almost all of her existence. It was only recently, shown in an Uncharted Realms story, that someone on the plane has stumbled upon that hidden knowledge. It isn't much of a leap to imagine that this information found its way to either Edgar directly or to the Skirsdag, from whom Shilgengar could learn the secret and relay it to Edgar.
I thought the whole reason Sorin is considered a pariah amongst the other vampires is because he created Avacyn? Isn't that already public knowledge, amongst the vamps at least? Maybe the humans of the church didn't know it / didn't believe it ('those vamps will say *anything*, won't they?'), but I doubt it's new intel for Edgar.
The vampires on Innistrad DO know about Avacyn and Sorin is an outcast among them because of it. The humans do not know, or at least they didn't until the events of the Lunarch's Journal (outside of the Lunarch and maybe the Skirsdag).Quote from luminum can »Does Sorin actually spend much time on Innistrad among his kin? I was under the impression they simply thought him a loner with a bleeding heart for humans (pun intended) who doesn't show up at any of their parties. Unless I forgot some important info there, wouldn't be the first time.
I've got an archive trap coming out on this soon, I promise. It's pretty big, and I did a lot of digging for details (including combing all the flavor text of the set) for story-related info. -

The situation on Innistrad post-Avacyn Restored is more than enough to drive a block.Quote from Morphling »I do hear you, ok? I'm just saying, unless you have some inside knowledge the rest of us do not, I haven't seen a single thing yet that actually rules Emarkul out and more than one that supports it. This could change tomorrow, but as of today, I haven't seen a single more compelling idea put out there.- Cathars disgusted with the cursemute have abandoned their posts to hunt Wolfir.
- The guy from the Lunarch's Journal may have revealed Avacyn is a product of the Vampires, and Vampires were created by humans.
- People who returned to the pagan ways during the Dark Ascension are on the outs with people who stayed loyal to the church
- Ludevic has escaped custody
- Gisa is still in custody and her brother's fate is unknown
- Everything in the Helvault has been released, meaning there are more demons on Innistrad than there have been in a very long time
- The glut of demons is great for the Skirsdag, who retain high positions in a weakened church

Vorthospike posted a message on Black - The most misunderstood color.@AkiTendo If we keep replying the way we are the thread is going to collapse under its own weight so let me summarize my position:Posted in: Magic General
By making the defining feature of Black "enlightened self interest leading to American Libertarian schools of thought" you've narrowed it far too much to be useful as the broad tendency that the colors really are. Black is about simply "self interest". It is valid for a black character to think the way you describe (I'd say enlightened self interest is more of a blue/black thing than monocolor but if you really think black needs it on its own that fine) but it cannot be the be all and end all of what Black is. Every color can reflect a variety of political philosophies and behaviors, depending on individual personality and the intensity with which the color is expressed.
White might say "we must have a theocracy to enforce order" but it might also say "only mixed market democracy can ultimately promote harmony" (though the first is certainly more likely).
Black might say "we must have a theocracy so I can never be questioned" but it might also say "we must have high social mobility so that I can rise as high as possible" (which is more likely depends on how you interpret Black).
Quote from Sirius_B »
Everything good is white
What about love, empathy, individuality, freedom, creativity, joy, self preservation, and progress? At the end of the day White doesn't really care about you, just about building a stable society.
I mean I guess if you don't consider those good then White is absolutely "the color of good" but that really says more about you than the color pie. A truly mono-white society would be awful for most people. The fact that Creative frequently lets white have traits it shouldn't is an issue but not one that can be solved by reorganizing the color pie.
Arguably the only color lacking any important "good" traits is Green on account of Green thinking being rather alien. -

Sciros posted a message on How to refer to "requires colorless" cards?I think "colorless" makes sense. "Devoid" in the context of mana can also work, I suppose. The only confusing bit would be costs such as 1CG, because right now cards are specified to be "Devoid" (no color) and I am not sure it makes sense to have cards be Devoid-Green the way RG can be Red-Green. I am not into "glass" as a term for this; it feels too non sequitur.Posted in: New Card Discussion
Honestly, it feels like anything but generic, colorless, r, g, w, u, b would be problematic. If it's not locked into meaning strictly devoid of color, "colorless" will remain an ambiguous term. - To post a comment, please login or register a new account.

Take a look here;
http://www.mtgsalvation.com/forums/magic-fundamentals/magic-storyline/550424-why-does-xenagos-deserve-to-die
Just to take a few point from that thread and the storyline;
Xenagos is sadistic
He killed his own twin in the womb
He tried to kill his mother multiple times
His reveals often ended up with the murder and/or enslavement of several people
He tricked the minotaurs into attacking Akros
He used Worst Fear to have Elspeth kill Daxos
Unslaved a bunch of Nyx born creature, draining their power so he could maintain his godhood.
And I'm sure I'm miss a ton of stuff. The fact you are showing empathy for him isn't because he was just painted a villain, it is because wizards was able to make a well written villain with motivations you can understand.

IMO on the planes walkers ratio;
Good
Ajani Goldmane
Venser
Dack Fayden
Elspeth Tirel
Gideon Jura
Jace Beleren
Karn
Koth
Neutral leans toward good/evil
Chandra Nalaar (seems more good)
Tamiyo (seems more on the good, but we don't know much about her)
Sarkhan Vol (seemed pretty neutral until he started following Bolas)
Sorin Markov
Liliana Vess (seemeds more evil, acting out only for herself, but wizards seems to be setting her up as an anti-hero)
Nissa Revane (She seems...unpleasent but I feel like she gonna redeem herself)
Ral Zarek (seemd more evil)
Domri Rade (more of a coin flip here depends on how Domri acts in the future)
Kiora (I don't get the hate for her, she prideful, yes, a trickers, yes, evil, no)
Garruk Wildspeaker(we'll see where this cursed Garruk ends up)
Evil
Xenagos
Vraska (used to be neutral leans towards evil)
Ashiok
Nicol Bolas
Tibalt
Tezzeret

Agreed. Though i'm not a fan of W/B but the returning is pretty nice on its own. Plus it gives you more spell to cast and trigger extort.

For me I think is like a fungus. A ever growing force of nature that feeds on death but has a "hive mind" like mentality. With no , work based on its instinct in a traditional since. Grow and feed but always in the same patterns.
Anyone agree or disagree?
