MTG Salvation

What, it changes? Damn, I had 20 points before M11 and was expecting a foil bolt then. And now I don't even get a bolt!

I'll give you a bolt promo for your DoJ promo any day of the week. I'm glad it's a rare, though. The resell value of the bolt versus the cryptic was quite disparate.

I was excited to see Surreal Memoir, especially if Staggershock ends up making the list. I feel like getting back two of your burn spells in your mid game is almost red card draw.

I'm searching the forums, not coming up with anything. What's the buy-a-box promo for ROE?

From MaRo's twitter feed:

Had a good Propser dev meeting this morning; made some last minute changes to the set. Giving an equipment +1/-1 should be okay, right?

That sounds like the equipment is a creature that gets a change to me. Any other interpretations of what he means? Or is it just a nod at how overpowered Umezawa's Jitte is?

I can't wait to see how many times Admiral Akbar is quoted at the pre-release. It will be awesome!

I tithe creatures to my Karate Demon. That's right, this guy is TOTALLY doing karate.

So you get a Negate or Terminate and then a random old one, right? One of my random old ones was the foil Damnation. I was extremely excited. Anyone else get the same? I wonder if they did a fourth one because they've got too much crap. Or if it's because they printed M10. Did they do promos 4 times for the year Tenth Edition came out?

Do you expect any of the new rares to be as sought as say Maelstrom Pulse? Even some of the reprints, like Darksteel Colossus.

A couple suggestions:
Baneslayer Angel
Xathrid Demon
Great Sable Stag

I think that the article was called Super Collider is a hint that Mike Flores knows the world is going to be destroyed by a miniature black hole.

Appears the Alara Reborn release promo will be named "Knight of New Alara" according to a mailer I just received.

Nightmare's votes surprise me. I mean, I voted for it, but it was near the bottom of my list. Why is it the third most certain amongst 120 people?

so here's a question: do we vote on what we WANT to make it or what we THINK will make it? I voted on what I wanted, what *I* would choose. But I've been around since all of Time Spiral so I'm not as familiar with Orcish Artillery or Nightmare.

How about we use a poll to determine what people think should get reprinted. I think I can make it so you can vote for 8 of them.

EDIT: I can't force you to only vote for 8, but that wouldn't be fun of you to vote for 4 or 10.

I liked the mono-white control option. You could use the new white counter, too! Lapse of Certainty

Well, the other obvious trick is Esperzoa and Faerie Machinist...

I like Esperzoa and Parasitic Strix even better.

Also, what about Jhessian Balmgiver and Infectious Horror. Seems okay in an Esper-based deck.

And a funny one - Yoke of the Damned and then play Feral Hydra with X=0.
