2) Konda (duh), Hisoka, Meloku, and Takeno
just a guess, I am stranded in the middle of the woods with no books at my disposal.
and yay for the thread being back
Now that is a downright SEXXY card! (Jaya) Wizards definitely did that one right. I am SO going and buying singles to get her.
And Serra Avenger is decent, too.
i didnt think it seemed right that he ascended then, so thanks for the clarification, although i am (among others) still in the dark about when he ascended and how, but safe to say between time streams and the mirage wars
motion to pass huzzah; all in favor (raises hand)...
but i was going to buy a fat pack anyway for the land pack and boxes and guide. but new fiction... COOL!
maybe the polar kraken was hungry (if you weighed a few hundred tons you would be hungry too), so it was eating the ice to get to the tasty polar bears (actually i like polar bears, i don't want anybody eating them)
didn't teferi's ascenion come as a result of coming out after being stuck in the VERY slow time bubble in Time Streams. but i could be wrong; either that or he almost died in some stressful manner and ascended.
back to the topic: at least i was right about the templating issue, but the playtesting version was different from the flavor concept i had about it. let's just hope the new standard has counter removal after chisei rotates out
I like the way the card was made. It has great flavor (mmmm, cardboard). We all know that R&D doesn't make lands that don't tap for mana anymore, but I can see why it doesn't tap for 1:
A. No room for it in templating
and
B. I don't think anyone would want to have a leyline running to a location that dangerous, where tapping the land could cause some scary things for the user.
i like maps, but the reasoning is, most likely, the designers of the maps, "fictional cartographers," were not given information to create maps of the planes, or the planes simply weren't going to be featured long enough to warrant a map, or the planes just weren't worth drawing. something like that. am i right?
it's been a while since i read Planeswalker, but if Xantcha and Ratepe were there along with Urza, it would be around the end or after the ice age. my speculation on this subject comes from when Jodah visits Urza at the end of the the Shattered Alliance, after he sees a man and woman leave the cabin.
Could Memnarch possibly have been given a super-scrying pool? Like one that can see other planes, and maybe he has some way to place soul traps on other worlds to gather souls to bring to Mirrodin.
Ohran Viper RG
Creature - Snake
First strike
Whenever Ohran Viper deals combat damage to creature, destroy that creature
1/1
I think this is more appropriate to what the creature will be, although a "If Ohran Viper deals combat damage to a creature, that creature gets -1/-1 until end of turn" is plausible. I really doubt that designers would break the rule of non mana producing lands, it just doesn't fit the purpose.
i think when they are reprinted they will stay rare. and didn't mtg.com say that the names and some other reasons were put on the new duals because they intend to reprint them one day?
Is there only going to be "snow-covered mana" e.g. colorless or can be used as any color, or will there be "snow-covered WUBRG". but if you wanted to just call it "the closest thing WotC will ever print to a sixth color," that's cool too.
therefore snow=puce! OMG!

yes this was a babbling post.

It's the silly hat... that's what made the book.
