Quote from Dontrike »The tap clause is a nice way for your opponent to react and not get blown out by whatever evasive creature this is bound to land on. I feel the cat art is better than the....caterpillar?

Quote from Melkor »Quote from Ryperior74 »Quote from Melkor »It can't be most of the suggestions. Banding and phasing, intmidate, etc, even if they aren't printed anymore, they are still existing keywords. I looked at the list, and the only one I am seeing is 'bury', because all these other ones, they already do something, they didn't get retconned out of existence, stuff like banding isn't used anymore, but still exists The point of those suggestions the hint states “former keyword” thus suggesting keywords that aren’t used anymore But that's the thing. Banding is not used anymore, Banding will PROBABLY never be used ever again. But they can't call the new keyword banding because regardless of use or future, it already currently has rules text attached to that word. they couldn't use one that is just obscure and you have to explain what it does to a new player, it would have to be one that you tell the new player 'oh yeah, they called it that, but it is called this now, including in oracle text'. if they used Banding for the new keyword, it would change what Formation actually does

Quote from Urabrask »Fetchlands aside (I know thats hard to do) what do you think will be in the Spellbook? My guess, based on what we know so far, and the ones we got before, would be this: Chandra, Torch of Defiance - old art Past in Flames - new art Chandra's Ignition - new art (the one on the frontpage) Red Elemental Blast - new art (Jace got the blue one, so I guess they would give her the other) Pyromancer's Goggles / Pyromancer's Gauntlet / Chandra's Regulator - new art, but hard to say, which of them they would choose Incinerate - old art (to mirror Jace Counterspell from the Duel Deck) Which would leave one card with new and one with old art open, my gusses would be any one of those: Blasphemous Act - new art showing her freeing the people of Amonkhet from the sarcophagus, similar to By Force Gamble - new art showing her stealing the Ghostfire scroll, all the way back, when we first met her. Fireball - new art, it would be the obvious go to spell Flame Javelin - new art, nice card and would fit her magic Fiery Impulse - old art Exquisite Firecraft - old art Cathartic Reunion - old art
Quote from WarMachinePrime »Would have preferred: Baby got back OR Junk in the Trunk. Maybe Backmeat or Trunkjunk as well. Glad both are coming back in this set.
Quote from Patch8700 »I don't mind the current ban list for edh. But as someone who plays regular and competitive edh, I would like to see cedh given a bit of thought. Cards like Thassa's Oracle get printed and it wrecks the top end of the meta, but because it doesn't affect the rest nobody who manages the bans cares.
Quote from digitek »Quote from Ink Demon »Thalia in regular print costs about $7, so you are getting at least $28 value for a $30 product with a full playset. It's tempting to look at Lair based on current value. Thalia has already dropped to $5 for NM copies on TCG in advance of this printing. Foils can now be found for around $10. This set is doubling the number of printings/versions from 4 to 8, so should expect to see significant drops in existing inventory as a result even with a limited print run - especially given the heads up to anyone interested in buying. Encourage anyone thinking about Lairs in terms of current market value to go back and look at card prices before and after printings. Similar to other reprints existing cards take a huge beating with these things.

Quote from Casper »The reason to buy these is to be able to create a fun gaming environment without drafting, so you get straight into the playing. Think of it like paying extra for express delivery. If you don't want to play with these cards in this format then I can understand that you don't care about this aspect and think you are getting ripped off. But, these packs are made specifically for mixing with another and playing. If that isn't what you want to do then buy cards in the format the does suit you, like singles. In these packs, the lands are not worthless, they are being paid for as part of the experience.
