I was looking for an RSS feed or a newsletter, or something similar, to not miss the articles from the home page of MTG Salvation, but I could not find any of these. Is there such a thing?
Thanks

It would be really cool if the backsides of the cards are simply "half" a card and you fuse them into a big card (like tap both and they form a new oversized card that can tap and do stuff on its own, it acts and counts as 1 card and if it leaves the battlefield, you separate the cards again).
Remember that pair of test cards that accidentally got out of the printers a while back showing two halves of an Eldrazi card, with transform backside frame, rotated 90 degrees across both of those cards' backs? I bet it's like that.
Are pictures of those still available? I don't recall seeing those.
come on lightning bolt lol.......and on a more likely note I fell like we will get less colorless cards then 10, I'm thinking 8.
Even though #6 is Emrakul and #7 is quite likely Emrakul's Something (There was an Ulamog's Something and Kozilek's Something in the past two Eldrazi-titan sets)... you're expecting that there is only one more item from the rest of the alphabet when there were seven items in the first less-than-20% of the alphabet? Emrakul really likes the first five letters of the alphabet that much more than the last 21 letters?
In magic's history, less than a third of cards have started with letters A through E (4352 of 15919). It's quite unlikely that virtually all of the colorless cards in this set are bunched up before the letter F.
With Emrakul and Hanweir, it seems that the number 13 has a key role in EMN (well it always had an importance on Innistrad). I think that there will be 13 colorless cards (before white in the number crunch), and maybe even 13 double faced cards that have a colorless eldrazi back (but it seems a lot).
Normally, W comes before U in mana costs (when there are only these two colors; the pattern varies when other colors are added) so it should be xWU, not the other way around. Also, the card frame is blue, not golden.
I see some grayish mana symbol too, not UU. This is weird. I think that xUC is kinda weird, because I don't think that Emrakul creates land wastes (but we don't have the proof of the contrary) and I would think the C symbol would be before the colored symbols in mana costs, so it would be xCU (but again, we have never seen colorless-coloured cards so why not).
I think that a card with colored mana and colorless mana is not logical as far as design is concerned. A creature can't have a color and not have one, at the same time. Adding colorless mana to colored costs is just to add difficulty casting the card, which I think has nothing to do with design, thus is not a good idea. Colorless (devoid) cards with colored mana, on the contrary, made sense to me because it permits to reduce the costs of colorless cards without breaking the color pie.
Well I guess we will soon see the truth behind this low resolution picture It may actually just be a plain blue card with an xUU cost.
It is my opponent's turn. He attacks me with the wolf and pays 1R and discards Fiery Temper to use the wolf's ability. He targets my eldrazi to deal 3 damage to it. He also uses Fiery Temper's madness and pays R to cast it from exile and target my eldrazi to deal 3 more damage to it.
Is there a moment where I get the priority and can activate the ability of Oracle of Dust to “process” his Fiery Temper? And if I can, does it prevent Fiery Temper from being cast or no?
Triggered ability resolves. Opponent chooses to pay 1R and discard Fiery Temper. Fiery Temper's madness triggers. Oracle of Dust is dealt 3 damage by the wolf.
So I think that I can “process” a card temporary in exile because of its madness but it won't actually prevent the spell from being cast. Is this right?
In this picture attached there are five stones from five vampire lineages. We already know four of them. I think we have to send an email to xxx@wizards.com replacing xxx by this lineage name, like yesterday with the brains … Someone has a clue about this?
in one of the last updates the gatherer text for Nature's Cloak changed due to their new handling of landwalk reminder text. I'm not sure if the new text is working as intended:
Green creatures you control gain forestwalk until end of turn. Forestwalk (...)
This looks like the sorcery itself has forestwalk?!
Do you think, this could be changed in the json file or do you want to keep the gatherer text?
It is kinda crappy, the way it is worded. It's been better in the past. However this is the official Oracle text, and is how Wizards (as of right now) is planning on printing cards in the future. Therefore I'll be keeping it the same as the gatherer text.
It is the new Oracle text for this card yes but I think it is an error in this card's Oracle text change from DTK to ORI. Other non creature cards do not have this "Landwalk" before the reminder text.
Sembiance, thank you so much for your work on MTG Image and MTG JSON.
I own some non-English cards (especially in French) and would love to help by giving you the printed text on them. If one day you have the time to add foreign language data for other fields than names (I see this in your to-do list ;^)), please contact me!
I don't use Facebook unfortunately.

Probably a black kill spell.
Probably a white legendary creature.
Probably an artifact, maybe legendary.
Probably a green spell.

I have a little doubt about the interaction, if any, between madness and eldrazi processors.
Say I have an Oracle of Dust on the battlefield and my opponent has a Wolf of Devil's Breach.
It is my opponent's turn. He attacks me with the wolf and pays 1R and discards Fiery Temper to use the wolf's ability. He targets my eldrazi to deal 3 damage to it. He also uses Fiery Temper's madness and pays R to cast it from exile and target my eldrazi to deal 3 more damage to it.
Is there a moment where I get the priority and can activate the ability of Oracle of Dust to “process” his Fiery Temper? And if I can, does it prevent Fiery Temper from being cast or no?
Here is my thought:

I just watched http://www.yawgatog.com/resources/oracle-changes/dtk-ori/#S4 to check every update made for the Landwalk keyword in ORI and only Nature's Cloak has this strange wording. Check the other cards:
