    That is your oppinion.
    Translation mistakes might happen, but I don't think that anybody in this world would need a translater to read a manacost or a p/t.
    They just use english characters and symbols, that are impossible to misread if you have them in your hand,


    Fair enough, but what is your explanation for the scans? I'd call those numbers impossible to misread when looked over carefully.

    Hmm... Wrens Run Packmaster in a goblin deck you say? Why didn't I think of that sooner?

    Guys, you are funny:

    This quote is directly from the Wizards site.
    Why speculate about unclear pictures, unless you think the writer of that column actually lies to you?


    We've heard that there was a translator involved. That sounds prone to mistakes. It's happened a lot in the past.

    The pictures, however, clearly show a 2R CC and 1/1 PT.

    I love this card. I made a sig for it before I even knew what it did.

    I'm interested in playing him in a control deck rather than just throwing him into MBA. He could support a nearly creatureless deck with the right protection.

    People who are saying Planeswalkers are broken are forgetting there could be a card that says


    Nobody Loves You - B

    Target Planeswalker's loyalty is reduced to 0.


    Or, you could just use Pithing Needle.

    The smaller font on the Fey's last line of text indicates flavor text to me. Could this card really be printed as is with only a 1/1 p/t? The card is awful if that last line is flavor text.

    Lash Out is okay. I thought 1R was a little too strong, but then again 2R doesn't seem too strong. Slant

    The fact that red decks are generally packing 4 Gargadon makes it a scary card.

  • posted a message on [LOR] two "mini blocks" have nothing to do with each other
    It's disappointing that a world as awesome as Lorwyn is only going to be given 2 sets to star in. I was fully expecting a 4-block story. Not pleased, but nothing I'll lose sleep over.

    If the Poster with Card Names is legit, and I don't think anyone doubts it is, then we should speculate on the 'Harbinger' cycle. It looks as if each tribe is getting "TRIBENAME Harbinger." (Giant, Kithkin, Etc.)

    What sort of abilities will this cycle have? New lords?

    Galepowder Mage and Fallowsage are not a cycle.

    The merrow have a small "machine-like" theme, where tapping and untapping each other will cause various effects. The more involved, the more that can be done. Possibly infinite like the Great Machine?

    Galepowder Mage works when you attack, not when you tap.

    It was a cool guess but I'm quite sure these two are not involved in any sort of connecting cycle.

    Quote from Exquisite_Oath
    I know this post is kind of tired now. But I was just wondering... is there anypoint in trying to find room for emblem of the warmind to make this thing more viable?

    Really just thinking out loud as it were.

    Drawbacks: Forces red, results in a creature you probably don't want to blink, hampers your 2nd or 3rd turn.

    Advantage: hasty conga-bird mage is some tasty.


    I don't see Emblem of the Warmind helping this creature any better than it helps any other creature. Immediate blink is not enough reason to play this bad aura to help this janky creature.

  • posted a message on My custom Lorwyn preview video! (TOTALLY REDESIGNED WTF)
    Once the Lorwyn logo came up and I saw I was only halfway through, I expected the music to pick up pace and Lorwyn art to begin being displayed along to a catchy irish jig.

    I still liked it a lot. Thanks!

    This doesn't matter. That acceleration where you speaking of is about the acceleration on spells. Like, Dark Ritual and Seething Song.
    A mana accelerating creature is very green and elves are a green race so if they swift colors, it would be posible to have them the llanowar like acceleration.


    They're not switching colors, though. the Lorwyn elves are simply black/green aligned. The black elves will show what makes the lorwyn elves fit into blacks scheme of things. The green elves will show the green in them.

    See Elves of Deep Shadow and Llanowar Dead for the pre-Time Spiral way to show the combination.

    No mono-black black mana elf, sorry. There can be exceptions such as the zombie druid from Dissension, however. I'm strictly saying no Llanowar Elf transferred to black.

    The two goblins at the end bear no resemblance to the other boggarts we've seen previewed. No horns. I'd say they look larger. These gremlin-like goblins could belong on Dominaria and most people wouldn't know the difference. I like the small, ugly boggarts from the other arts. The video let me down in terms of art.

    I look forward to seeing some of these legends. Some good names, some I dislike. "Giant Harbinger" for example is a poor name in my opinion. Looks like there will be a Harbinger cycle?

    Kithkin Daggerdare is possibly my favorite out of the bunch.
