MTG Salvation

Plus, Ashiok's art is amazing, and you can see that they are in the Meditation Realm.

Oh, I didn't even notice. Interesting. Kinda wondering what role they play in the final act.

Not a fan of the Skulker, but Ashiok is solid for an uncommon. The one thing watching this spoiler season so far was seeing if the uncommon walkers were going to be a sad disappointment, but they are fairly decent across the board minus a few (looking at you, Arlinn).

Is the super hard Paradox Engine spike commander related or did I miss someone using it in Modern? Or is it just someone playing the market?

I remember „The Wanderer“ as a character back in the days when Diablo & Diablo II were hot…
Definitely a good Name for something unknown. Would love it being a flip Planeswalker human and demon!

Funny story about that. I was brewing around an idea for a story set on a plane inspired by norse and celtic mythology and one of the visitor planeswalkers was originally from theros. The character is a champion of Phenax and had a unique weapon that could transform into a demon that inhabited said weapon, which this character is mostly inspired from the Sorceress class in Black Desert Online. I'm still fleshing it out, but I'm hoping to introduce it sometime later. This all takes place way before the mending.

Back on topic though. I'm still think the staff lady is the one who ascends at the end of Children of the Nameless. Others were saying the "wanderer" might be Elspeth based on the boots being similar, but I'm hoping it isn't.

Wasn't Tacenda a kid or a teen at the most?

15-16 from what I gathered. I mean, it's not completely unreasonable. What's the timeframe from the book to War of the Spark? That would give a better answer.

Here's the link to the MTG Weekly with the author.

Also I guess we are going to ignore the Underworld plot line from Dack. I sincerely hope Elspeth did not come back offscreen.

This would trigger me so hard. I want to go back to Theros specifically to get Elspeth out.


Back to the whole team up thing, wouldn't Ob and Sorin be a better team up since they both have a personal vendetta against Nahiri? Honestly there's just a lot from so little info that doesn't make sense.

Yeah it doesn't make sense to me either. So we have the set amount coming into the set, but from what I'm gathering here, there's going to be more than just the 36 involved in the story since Dack has no card that we know of.

MTG Weekly on twitch made a comment that Ob Nixilis will team up with Karn and Dack per the novel. There's a clip of it as well.

This may be where Oubliette gets reprinted.

Damn, someone beat me to it.

I'm 75% excited because this set drops on my birthday, so if there is some good things in here, then I'll be 100% excited and getting my birthday present. I like Serra as a flier support card, but other then that, is she really going to shape modern? Doubtful. I can't even gauge her power for modern. UW spirits? Eh. Also not sure on the powerlevel of the other card spoiled.

Thornbite Staff says hello. And Intruder Alarm as mentioned earlier.

How many boxes did you open? 1

What was the rare you opened the least? I opened Phyrexian Tower, Sublime Archangel, Reivillark, Ancient Tomb, Urborg, Celestial Colonnade, Visions of Beyond, Nourishing Shoal, Desolate Lighthouse, Vexing Devil, Goryo's Vengeance, Maelstrom Pulse, Daybreak Coronet, Raging Ravine, Woodfall Primus, Through the Breach, Seismic Assault, Sovereigns of Lost Alara, Squee, and Disrupting Shoal.

What was the mythic you opened the least? Mythic Pulls were Balefire Dragon, Sigarda, Mikaeus.

What were you box toppers? Gaddock Teeg

What, if any, were your FOIL Mythic pulls? Sigarda, with a Noble Hierarch, Entomb, and Creeping Tar Pit rare foils.

Overall I was pretty ok with this box and got things I wanted. EDIT: And yes, I pulled a foil and non-foil version of Sigarda.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I'm trying to gather ideas. I recently started streaming on Twitch, more so for video games, but I am more drawn to doing a bi-weekly content thing with M:TG that's strictly for EDH/Commander. An example being I discuss different decks, certain cards, new set releases and what goodies can be had, and even bonus content like opening sealed products. I'm just looking for suggestions on media creation (banners, etc), gear set ups (mics, headphones), and just a general guideline to follow and whether or not it would actually be a good idea.

EDIT: I know I have a hard time finishing content here, but I'll probably end up working something out like making detailed decklists to co-exist with the content I will be streaming and eventually putting on Youtube.

I feel like there is a lot of hate going on in this thread and those who think "this isn't worth $14 a pack!!11!" really think they are actually going to sell at $14 a pack. Boxes seem to be hovering around the $250 mark, well below the suggested price. This set is loaded with things that haven't been reprinted often or reprinted since their first printing. While I agree it isn't worth the price WotC was suggesting, I do think it's worth the price it's currently sitting at with the box topper. I also believe that there is the possibility that it could take the IMA route, start dropping off even lower than what it is now once it actually gets into the market, then go back up once everything stabilizes. I invested into IMA when boxes were dirt cheap, and looking at it now, what what I did manage to pull from my boxes, I think I made back more then I left with. Sure, there was missed opportunity for reprints. Realistically though, there's room in other sets for reprints as well. Hell, Manamorphose could get reprinted in the next guilds set because it's a Gruul color card.

Beggars can't be choosers.

If from what I can recall what was said earlier about new planes and revisiting old ones, we should be getting a new plane after Ravnica, no? What other planes are there to go to that the story hasn't been completely wrapped up? Theros?

I also don't think we'll get nearly as many planeswalkers in Ravnica 3.0 as everyone is speculating on. That's a lot of PW's in standard.
