For me, as a veteran, it is, and always was, about the community, not the name. I'll go where the people I like to talk to, and the staff that did such amazing work, are going.
If the staff moves to Nexus, I'll follow, like I went from News to Sally 14 years ago.

Though I am a little sad that after Kelly Digges, I see that another man highly responsible for the gem that is Dominaria left Wizards. -

Mar 15, 2018Caranthir posted a message on Dominaria Spoiler Digest - Who's Who and What's What from the Release NotesPosted in: ArticlesQuote from Formless_One »No, the Baron Sengir and Grandmother Sengir come from Ulgothra. However, Grandmother Sengir is actually a planeswalker named Ravi who knew the Baron when he was young and as I understand it before he was a vampire. Then she went insane after pulling an Urza and blowing up most of Ulgothra. But the plane has a planar portal that most likely connects to Dominaria, and who knows? Maybe the Baron and his "Grandmother" did some traveling around the Multiverse at some point.
The Baron is NOT from Ulgrotha. He is from an unknown plane, he was brought to Ulgrotha by an unknown walker and stranded there. He might be originally from Dominaria, as we seen Sengir vampires there...but there is not enough info either to confirm or dismiss it.
Granny is a former planeswalker and one-time friend of the Baron who had a hand in him becoming vampire. See here: https://mtg.gamepedia.com/Ravi

odah's paragraph is quite wild.
"(Jodah) was also present during the Phyrexian Invasion and helped restore Urza's sanity during that time" - this is wholly incorrect, where you got it?
- one of the primary contributous to Worldspell - not quite, he had to provide his mirror and was forced to utilize (and in the process, consume) the safe havens to distribute the excess energy of the spell to prevent another Sylex Blast.
It is debatable, whether Evra, Halcyon Witness is what we think. After all, we have seen Halcyon Glaze. But using this very particular name on Dominaria and NOT tying it to THE Halcyon would be immensely stupid.
Kolo Meha was above all a Bogardan fire mage, but with ties to Madara, of course.
Gix was not Glacian's kíller. He attacked and wounded him, but Yawgmoth "killed" him by his treattment. -
Mar 12, 2018Caranthir posted a message on Dominaria Spoiler Digest - Who's Who and What's What from the Release NotesSome minor corrections:Posted in: Articles
- Primevals' rebirth was one of the climaxes of Planeshift,not Invasion
- Karn's Temporal Sundering is probably the time machine explosion also depicted on Sunder, not the Tolarian rift closure.
- Sagas get counters on the beginning of the precombat main phase
- Mirari was just one of Karn's probes, and a faulty one (it shouldn't be leaking power)

Mar 7, 2018Caranthir posted a message on Ixalan Story Interview with Alison LuhrsLoving it. Amazing read.Posted in: Articles
The most interesting thing for me is the reveal of intentional use of farce structure and themes for the story. It makes PERFECT sense. And explains a lot. -

Jan 13, 2008Caranthir posted a message on [Powerfantasy] Some pics of a game...Great pics, James Losing Miles had to hurt, indeed. I like your choice of team....playing with Miles and Phobeya together is one of my preferred combinations. Just add Harass and you got my fav "supervillain" team. But Sil is powerful with any high-damage super character.Posted in: Hydrokinesis's Blog

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?

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