Eowyn has no reason to coneal herself because half of Rohan army is made up by women
If you read the books, she wasn't not allowed to ride to battle because she was a woman, she wasn't allowed to ride to battle because her uncle explicitly told her to rule rohan in his and eomer's absence. At no point do they say anything like "women aren't allowed to fight in wars."
You're confusing lord of the rings with mulan. -

Mystic_X posted a message on [SLD] Spring Superdrop 2023Posted in: The Rumor MillQuote from Reki762 »Sad that the three showcase drops are only in foil.
Think about it...
If you created two sets of armor and two shields from Secret Lair cards, only one of each made of halo foils, which do you honestly think will refract light to blind your opponents and protect you more in battle?
Conclusion: Essentially, what you always want are foils! -

And that given the recent quality of foil cards, that I'm no longer the crazy guy for not caring too much for foils. -

Max Rebo posted a message on [KHM Leak] Righteous ValkyrieThere really isn't much left anymore but Power Creep. This card is ridiculous and will make the life gain angel deck even more annoying.Posted in: The Rumor Mill
I still remember the days when Serra Angel was a "pushed" card.... (shakes fist at clouds) -

Borealis posted a message on [CMR] Jeweled LotusI mean its also a permanent and its also an artifact, and there is plenty of ways to either tutor for that or just recur that from the graveyard. Which means its hands down better than most rituals which are not artifacts.Posted in: The Rumor Mill
There is also the factor of it just costing 0, so it means your other mana is potentially freed up and it takes less cards to pull off a big explosive play which also is a factor towards card advantage.
Essentially what the purpose of a Jeweled Lotus serves is as a turbo-yet-narrow version of Lotus Petal but only for casting your commander. For example you can always go... Turn 1: Mountain, Jeweled Lotus, Purphoros, God of the Forge. Subsequent turns can be used to play other cards to crank up the pace of the game.
As any two-color, mono-color, or colorless commander that is 4 cmc or less now be played turn 1. And a lower CMC than 4 really only benefits 3 but also applies to 2 and 1 as you don't have to factor a land into the equation unless they are two-color. While for cards that cost 5 CMC or higher means they more or less have 1 or more turns being required to play it.
The common, tired, and intellectually dishonest argument to throw at this card is: "What if you draw it at the wrong time?". The reason its common is it parroted all the time as a way to try and show how a card is less likely to see use in a conversation around it. But the reason such an argumentative point is intellectually dishonest is that same argument can apply to many instances when the top card of your deck or your opening hand is not ideal in your current situation. After all how many times has the phrase "I was only [x] turns away from drawing [card]" when somebody loses? The retort one might try to bring up is that isn't the same, as certain cards always have value, but what if a boardsweeper is a dead draw because the current state of the game isn't really worth it and you would much rather have something else? And that is the thing that always gets missed about these situations is there is a lot of moving parts if your gonna say "what if you draw it at the wrong?" As the implication is there is an existing state that could be analyzed, but since there isn't this is like the equivalent of a Schrodinger's Magical Christmas Land in which it has technically everything but also nothing for you and your opponents exists, but since nobody has a concrete state of the game with actual information, it will always result in a pointless rabbit hole of argumenatation and wasted time. A sol ring in one scenario could be a dead draw, in another it can be the vital card needed to get a big play off the ground. -

So, yes, I do remember that.:)
If I read correctly, they are not planning to release 4-5 Commander decks, on their own, as the did between 2011-2020, next year.

I do miss the old way of doing things, releasing 4/5 commanders, on their own, once a year; it was like Christmas for Commander players. But, yeah, I'm glad these'll only cost me 20 bucks or so, if I buy them at all.
All that said, again, I'd like to see them focus their Commander energy on making 4-5 really strong (and still affordable) Commander precons each year.
I do like that these replaced those jank-ass planeswalker decks, though.
EDIT: Also, I don't hate Wyleth.
