    Live the dream and add four mana of any one color to your mana pool in vintage. Smile

    Also, switch Near-Death Experience to At the beginning of your upkeep, if you have exactly 0 life, you win the game, then flash in Lich at the end of opponent's turn.

    Yeah, that's weird.

    They should have gone with stuff like
    - Counter target spell that targets a target target player doesn't control
    - Untap all tapped creatures target player controls then tap all untapped creatures target player doesn't control

    and so on.

    That would have been Very Cryptic Command

    Wizards are reprinting 200$-level cards and people are complaining? Wow. Mana Drain is an impressive choice for sure, one we have waited for for years and years. Nice!!!

    Seriously... I'll add my voice to the others, the art is beautiful but it looks like a 12/12 mythic legendary battleship of the ultimate awesome, not a 4/6 vigilance. Come on.

    As opposed to the other 2 Lasts we have seen, here you can use copy effects to get the effect twice and the drawback only once.

    It also kills embalm tokens.

    I get that the flavor is that you "build" it over time, but it still feels weird that the biggest and baddest pyramid of the world costs 1.

    (notice the 5 pyramids around with their colors, homes of the 5 gods, and presumably Bolas in the middle bigger pyramid).

    Are we getting an enchantment block next?


    There's really a lot of enchantments, and notice also that green removal spoiled so far removes artifacts only, not artifacts+enchantments, so clues are pointing that way.

    I am a man, I am a proud feminist and I cannot even start to see the relevance the discussion of whether the magic universe is not "really masucline" (seen as a good thing) enough and "too feminine" (obviously seen as a bad thing).

    I cannot believe people are still perpetuing old-fashioned stereotypes about what being "masucline" and being "feminine" are supposed to mean exclusively. Hey, it's 2016.

    I find WOTC's universe to be on the whole quite well balanced for a high fantasy universe.

    For having played with Hymn in Eternal Masters limited, it was never a dead card even late game, and it was great even if I drew it turn 10 and it took away the 2 cards/removal/threat the opponent was keeping in hand. It won me every game where I played it.

    I know Constructed is a faster format but there should still be place to use this even after the first turns but before the opponent is in topdeck mode, while achieving delirium more or less naturally.

    I don't understand why it hitting lands for free is a problem unless you're playing against land destruction. If your entire deck is 3CMC or less (plausible for RDW) it's filtering out lands so you can dig towards actual spells.

    Even a 3/2 Menace with "put all the lands from your library in your graveyard" would be worth considering and this is better since it sometimes just filters out a land, other times it can draw an actual spell or deal damage.

    I figured out the numbering. It's in order of colors, notice how the 5 new lands are numbered 1-5 in WUBRG order.

    If you follow this by
    6-10 Allied Shocks WUBRG
    11-15 Enemy Shocks WUBRG
    16-20 Allied Fetches WUBRG
    21-25 Enemy Fetches WUBRG

    It fits perfectly with Steam Vents at 12 and Arid Mesa at 24.

    Quote from shadowboy
    I'm simply stating that in a situation where you can make 45k in profit with little to no risk (if you do it in a smart way) you damn well do it, regardless of morality.


    Wow, and you are actually proud of affirming this... I am almost impressed.

    "I have moral principles but this is too good to pass up"? Sorry sir, this is exactly the statement of someone who doesn't have them. You either have some moral principles (ex. I will not steal) or you don't, it's not debatable on a case-per-case basis. This doesn't have to do with anything external, religion, law, peers, whatever, it's about self-respect of doing what is right.

    Today I stumbled upon a friend who made an event on facebook trying to retrace the owner of an iPod touch he found lying around in the subway. I can probably imagine what you would have done in his place.

    I believe it will be almost 100% mirror, they can totally pull it off. Not only that, but I also believe all art on these will be mirrored (I don't remember who pointed it out in another thread). All mirrodin people/promopictures/cards ve have thus far are looking right and the vast majority of phyrexians are looking left...
