    At this rate, one can imagine Commander games in five years will probably sound something like this...

    Player A: "I equip my legendary Hobo with Rutger's Shotgun, and swing at your Trailer Park Boy"
    Player B: "I respond by attaching Cerebro to Spock, and activate Mind Meld targeting Hollywood Hulk Hogan equipped with Vibranium Shield to remove your hobo from combat"
    Player C: "Wait a Second!...Didn't I still have priority to Quantum Leap Mister Peanut and The Monopoly Man when you planeshifted to Trump Tower?!
    Player D: "Sorry to interrupt as well, but how many Golden Girl tokens hit the graveyard when you blocked Urkel and Rambo last turn?
    Player E: "Honestly, even if you all had The Delta Variant to target me and T-800s equipped with Lightsabers to protect you, I'm still crewing The Delorean with The Cigarette Smoking Man now to go back twenty turns and restart the game."
    <all sigh>

    It's obviously a black bordered enter the dungeon effect where each player starts with a copy of Grenzo, Dungeon Warden Smile

    Clearly that means you just need to draft collector boosters. Wink

    Clearly that means you have to not buy groceries that week. (Only wanted to add to the joke, not saying you said that.)

    My advice: Only buy groceries on sale, in bulk (plan/prepare for meal options in advance, maximize freezer space), compare flyers for different stores, learn to spot the "red herring" sales on lower value items (which still don't have a good healh, flavor profile, culinary adaptability, and mass to price ratio). Also, bike to save on gas and parking fees (if you can safely and confidently balance the weight on your handlebars for the ride home). That's what I do, and it works wonders. You always eat well, and feel the added satisfaction of knowing you did so at a discount (usually by at least 40%).

    You'd be surprised how much money you'd save to waste invest on Magic cards! Smile

    YES, Split second!! I love it!

    So, this is actually a strictly better Diabolic Edict, right? I see no downside in having split Second.

    This card is good, but we already got a strictly (much) better edict.
    How quickly we forget Liliana's Triumph!

    If only the flavor text was:
    "Party on Garth!"

    For me, the most shocking thing revealed so far is new art by Drew Tucker!

    Also, was it just a coincidence the lion was done by Howard Lyon?

    That Wrath of God is totally an Occult rock album. Brilliant, I love these, even though I'm not a fan of this kind of music.

    Also, that Space: The Convergence article is hilarious. I recognized many cards (Orbital Bombardment *snicker* ) but mostly how bad Magic creatures were back then. :p Also, the 9th Edition symbol kind of ruined it.


    If only the art featured a Rock 'n Roll Moses throwing guitar-shaped tablets (of the ten commandments) at a crowd of fans with Dathan and the golden calf at the center of the mosh pit. Then, I might have actually ordered this!

    Her ashes new-create another heir
    As great in admiration as herself.”

    Wow...This is the worst card art I've seen in a very long time.
    Couldn't they have asked Drew Tucker to do something for less commission instead?
    Honestly, I wouldn't sleeve this card in a deck even if someone bought me the playset and had it signed by the artist.
    All I would want to do when drawing or seeing this is exile it to a non-visible zone outside the game (box or binder)
