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.

Caranthir 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. -

Caranthir 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)

Caranthir 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. -

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. - To post a comment, please login or register a new account.
Hobbit B: Bombur the dwarf
Many of the storyline gurus (especially from G.A. :() did not come here. Zazdor. Gelcur. Rand. Ix came, but only in a limited extent. The storyline forum on News (and these people) are things that I sorely miss.
I'd be happy to discuss more, but unfortunately I have to wait until the Guardian actually comes to me - physically. That means, I must wait for the official release date to get a Fat Pack (as usual).
Welcome to Salvation.
2. Lame name for a legend
3. Ridiculous power-level, compared to Hidetsugu
4. INCREDIBLY lame flavor text
5. Orb disagreement
SUMMARIZED: FAKE
Ta-da!!!:lock:
To summarize it: We like the books because of Toshi and the overall flavor and style of McGough's writing. You do not like it, because as a man who is educated in creative writing, you cannot endure the feeling of reading a potentially good book ruined(in your opinion) by a badly made main character. Opinion versus opinion. There is no objective measure, only subjective ones. We will continue to like them, you will continue to hate Toshi. See you, edge, for now - we'll meet again discussing about Ravnica.
Howgh.
Again I must say: words of pure gold. Edge just irrationally hates the books and though his arguments are logical and well-designed, they are too clouded by his negative emotions.
Hidetsugu not almighty? I can say that I wondered reading the scene of Minamo battle. Keiga the Tide Star was defeated quite easily, don't you think?
Excellently said.
