The morph cost on the first card is not hybrid black / hybrid black. It's the planar die symbol from the planechase set. All in all ths is a sweet project though.
I don't understand how so many of you can get so upset for someone relating the main subject of his article to other ideas and concepts. Isn't that what communication is about, finding parallels and differences between distinct entities? How else are we supposed to learn new things? By only relating to what we are already intimately familiar with?
This is the worst decision I have ever seen WotC make. This is worse than the removal of the color from the mana symbols in the text boxes (which i am glad they fixed). I have been playing 2HG heavily since it was sanctioned, and not once has a match I've been in gone to time. I just don't understand the rationale behind this. If it is to allow beatdown decks to be competitive, it's really stupid. Maybe WotC should also make a rule in vintage that all creatures get +2/+0 so weenie decks can compete with tendrils.
Cool in theory but underwhelming in practice.
Nice article Jaco, very well written.
