MTG Salvation

What do you guys think will happen to Gideon at the end of this block?

Will he die?

So many protagonists end up dying, but according to the Uncharted Realms articles, if he dies, the Zendikari are pretty much all dead.

Another scenario I've been pondering is whether he (or Nissa) might end up giving up their spark, so as to somehow re-seal the Eldrazi Titan. It would make a less dramatic, yet still heart wrenching plot twist.

Opinions?

I wonder if they'd make a card with an Awaken cost cheaper than the Mana cost, that would have a negative effect towards you. Like, for example:

Roaring Tremors 4WW

Destroy all creatures. They can't be regenerated

Awaken 3 - 2WW


So in essence you'd get a cheaper version of the spell with the added cost of sacrificing a land.

Ok I don't know if anyone has said this before me, but I do not see Sorin in any of those pictures. (The one with the guy held against a wall is not sorin, but a Kor)

Was his inclusion in the set confirmed verbally at the panel?

"Dude, that nail on your table is about to fall off"

"That's ok.... Alhammaret" (i'll hammer it)

I think the flipwalkers specifically say "exile this permanent and then return it to the battlefield transformed"

Okay, but my issue wasn't whether paper is in fact biodegradable(it's common knowledge), but whether people will actually recycle when given the push from wizards. Nevertheless, my main concern is that the $3 increase, and the subsequent 3 euro increase was definitely far more than what the increase on the pack's producing cost was. THAT was therefore, the profit increase scheme. I'm sorry I wasn't clear on that.

Well judging from the few unboxing videos that are already out there, i think its only the cardboard...

So we know it was mostly a scheme to increase prices, but how many of you actually plan to recycle them?

Ok previous to your post, i had never seen the teaser trailer, so thanks for the reference. The image looks like a suspiciously vertically stretched art for an island... Based on the fact that they usually use art exclusively from cards, and they wouldn't make exclusive art for a teaser, except of course for the animated hedron. Is it a hint for the return of full art basics?

I posted this as a comment on the post announcing the BFZ Duel Deck, but it got little responces. However i think this is a matter worthy of discussion, so i repost this here for anyone who's interested.

So far, there have been 2 duel decks per Year. The Autumn one, which serves as an introduction to the new block, and the spring one, which (IMHO) recycles planeswalkers with stories that often have no connection to the original plotline, for the sake of reprinting walkers.

But in the new age of Two blocks per year, wouldn't it make sense for both Duel Decks to serve as an introduction to each block? And if so, what happens to the alter-art versions of planeswalkers many of us like to get? Then Maybe, the new Duel Deck paradigm would be 'Planeswalker vs Legend'. That way, characters can get a minute at the spotlight without forced unnecessary conflicts, and the duel decks always seem fresh storywise, and cool card-wise.

How likely do you think this is?

Since Gideon is headlining BFZ, my guess for the next DD, IF we take this scenario under consideration, would be Nissa, Worldwaker VS Eldrazi.

What do you guys think of this scenario?

This has been up for several hours and I've yet to see a thread for it...

Ok, let's call this a simple ''hacking'' lesson for everyone. If you're given an "Access Denied" on a page anywhere, just add "?.JPG" to the url and reload. For example, "mtgsalvation.com" becomes "mtgsalvation.com?.JPG"

Anyhoo, YAAAY COMMANDS!!!

But i don't see why the green one had to be mythic....

Well, the article thread is locked, so i'll add the links to the images.
