    Well, I do not like anime and manga style. But I must admit that this is a masterpiece. You captured the original mood and translated it into manga without making it complete Pokémon style. Good work, I like it.

    Well, I have noticed that the flying hands at Exile into Darkness are just the same as the small flying aspects of Myojin of the Night's Reach.

    In that case, Rafthrasa would be the best choice. He's one of the most powerful planeswalkers ever, but he doesn't use his powers. Instead, he's a farmer.


    Yeah, Loot. Rafthrasa. Another character I (and most of us) have not heard at all (the first being Loot Niptil). Could I ask you for some background? Even Google is returning a big fat zero for this name (are you sure that you spelt it correctly?). And although everything indicates that it is a character from your beloved anthology that almost no one here has read, I am curious by nature. Please?

    My choice:

    Taysir
    Daria
    Bo Levar
    Commodore Guff
    Freyalise
    Teferi
    Tevesh Szat
    Lord Windgrace
    (yes, pretty much the Nine Titans...) but for the last slot...Dyfed? Serra? Feroz?

    Well, if I read it well, it means that they changed the big set Fat Pack contain. CHK has 1 Tournament Pack, 3 boosters. Here it says 40-card Land pack and 6 boosters. Interesting...

    So, there is a thread that says that there will be plenty of creature types in Ravnica, including rocs. Quite frankly, I see a roc-like beast, not a pteron-like beast at the discussed pic. So much for the pteron theory.

    I think that it is as possible and as probable as seeing the Instant-Cantrip type spells. Like cantrip, this is just a nickname.

    For those who lurk at this thread - check this out:

    -> Storyline -> Sixth Sphere -> On Planes and Planeswalkers

    And the moral? Strong belief in your own theory is in this case not sufficient to make it true. Hey, man, wake up! It is just a theory, a theory about FICTIONAL world(s). Why are you so eager to defend it tooth and nail? Somebody has to say that: You are not a new Einstein, just a guy who took 5 lines of book, added a bunch of modern cosmology, maths and physics ingredients and created a FICTIONAL theory - I would say "theory squared". These things DO NOT EXIST.
    I am writing this an wasting my time only because I am surprised by your blind persistency in beating opponents by still another and another "rock-solid" , either unprovable and indisprovable fantasies.

    The concept art for Myojin of Infinite Rage. Neat. But small. And inanimated. 2/5.

    Edit: Download the attachment MBM posted, and put it into your profile, just as you put the original one.

    Imo your banner looks cool. It has a simple understandable slogan and it's unique. 5/5
    Sry that mine doesn't have a banner. But if anyone would like to make one...:cool::smile2::xd:


    Fireball for 92 (Yeah, I have counted the red manas). Now that's a devotion for red. Nice idea, unusual realization, though somewhat simple. 2.5/5.

    Quote from Fayul »
    The problem is, the Brother's War leads into so much crap. Kamigawa is a nice, probably about movie-lenght, self-contained (Not counting Tetsuo) story.


    I agree. The recent stories that comprise of three novels are probably the best option. They are consistent and relatively independent on the knowledge of previous stories. And since Mirrodin sucked, Kamigawa is the best option.

    I do not think that the WTL saga sucks - but it has to be filmed whole, maybe even with the prequel of The Thran. But I agree that it is fairly impossible to make THAT story into one movie. Maybe a hexalogy - Brothers' War (Urza vs. Mishra), Planeswalker (Urza and Xantcha vs. Gix), Timestreams+Bloodlines (Urza and Barrin vs. K'rrik and Croag), Tempest (block), Masques (block) and Invasion (block). Six or none. The last three would not make sense without proper background, and Brothers' War would be the same as if Peter Jackson makes a movie about the Last Alliance of Human and Elves overthrowing Sauron at Orodruin. Relatively uninteresting film, two estranged brothers, one is emotional young, who is easily corrupted , second is a cold-nosed smartass. Then a fight, a bit of love between the second-in-commands, and the ending in a BIG BOOM. A bit of cliché, isn't it? Everybody would be confused why the hell did not that man die when having a first-hand look at nuclear explosion, and why are his eyes so funny...
    No. If you want one good movie, take Kamigawa. If you want a good movie from anything involving Phyrexia and Urza, you have to take almost all involving Phyrexia and Urza. If you wanna be lynched by an angry mob of Magic fans, take Prophecy.

    The equation is derived from the fact that, in five dimensions, the inverse-square law would be replaced by the analogous inverse-tesseract law. The one mana=ten million terajoules equality comes from the fact that one mana can be used to summon an average humanoid. This would require about 6.29e18 joules, or 6.29e6 terajoules, of energy.


    Oh. I see. I wonder why I even asked. And I assume that you have some nice explanation for the exact amount of five dimensions as well.

    For the people who do not know what tesseract is, you can find the thing, also called "hypercube" here.
