    Do you think I could get a complete plaintext list, sorted by rarity? If someone can provide that, I'll make an update for Djinni.

    EDIT: Also, Crown of Empries is incorrectly listed as a Rare.

    Neat finisher in limited, with some small glimmer of constrcuted potential, as others have mentioned.

    I'd be happy enough with a 2/2 first strike for 2R in limited, but Bloodthirst makes him even better.

  • posted a message on [M12] Visual Spoiler Chasm Drake + Timely Reinforcements
    Drake and Reinforcements are both fantabulous cards in Limited, and I'm very glad to see O-ring return.

  • posted a message on [M12] DailyMTG Spoilers 6/28: Aegis Angel, Phantasmal Image


    To both of them. I can hardly think of a scenario in draft/sealed where I wouldn't play them.

  • posted a message on [M12] Personal Sanctuary, Mind Unbound, Druidic Satchel, Buried Ruin!
    Limited: Mind Unbound probably won't hit the table until late, but it's nice for a comeback.
    Personal Sanctuary probably won't do much good, but it's potential sideboard material.
    I love the Satchel so much. Fun and useful pseudo-toolbox card.

    That said, didn't anyone read the flavor text? In mentions Innmersturm, which means that Core Sets now our rooted on new planes?

    I was under the impression that the M-Whatever sets were always a planar buffet, loosely connected to what the main Planeswalkers were up to.

    Quote from BoJag
    I'm finding it hilarious at all the posters that think Wizards owes it to them to give them spoilers and that they got disappointed by this free information. You didn't get trolled. No where did they say they would spoil a Mythic or Rare or a good card in general. You got what was promised. The day people stop feeling self entitled will be a great day.

    WIZARDS OWES ME 50 FREE MYTHICS AND A TRIP TO HAWAII! IT'S MY RIGHT AS A CONSUMER!

    Decent little mass-pump card for limited. Nice to have when you're swinging with griffins and angels.

    Costly, but pretty damn good for Limited aggro decks, and even something you could splash for.

  • posted a message on June Banlist update: JTMS and Stoneforge banned in Standard, Frantic Search in Pauper
    Quote from CML
    Jace was the floodgate that kept the dam waters (jank decks) from flooding the great land of FNM with homebrew luck crap decks. The dam is broken and all will drown, and people will scream to wizards for a raft to help them float above the filth, but too late have they understood that they have banned her too... And there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth....

    We certainly can't have people ruining such a classy format with their creativity and lack of money, now, can we? :p

    In cases like this, where the treatment could really help and doesn't incur any unreasonable risk, withholding it is tantamount of homicide.

  • posted a message on [D12 / M12] Go for the Throat, Elvish Promenade, Heedless One etc
    Elvish Promenade is plausible, and Go For The Throat might be able to replace Doom Blade, but Heedless One would be pushing it.

    And a wife-beater can be quite charming in the right moods, but I still don't want to hang out with him.

    That's kind of a broad characterization, isn't it? Imageboards are just another type of forum software. I personally run a place called Hunterchan that's devoted to the Monster Hunter series, and it's generally quite civil. Would it surprise you that most of the posters came from 4chan's video games board?
    Quote from Blinking Spirit
    Now, the twist here is that channers have turned "Anonymous" into its own identity. Which means that people are starting to link the actions of the "Anonymous" who bully primary-schoolers with all the rest, and impose the usual social consequences. Don't like this? Then don't call yourself "Anonymous", stupid.

    Again, by "channers," and "Anonymous," you mean "/b/." The other boards run the gamut from /b/-lite to fairly normal internet communities. Posting anonymously is more tradition than anything, as most boards are meant for fast discussion where keeping track of individual posters isn't terribly important.

    Thanks a bunch for putting this up again! My friends and I always like to build and compare with at least half a dozen practice pools before prerelease events.

  • posted a message on MBS: Do you like it?
    It's going to give me one of the most interested Sealed Deck experiences I've ever had, so yes, I like it. The flavor seems quite strong, and it does a very good job of expounding on themes from SoM, moreso than Worldwake did for Zendikar.
