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

Caranthir posted a message on Dominaria Spoiler Digest - Who's Who and What's What from the Release NotesYou are welcome. Some more:Posted in: Articles
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.

I remember that some artist during the last year's summer leaked an info that he illustrated a card named "Snow-Fur". The CHK came, and suddenly we saw the name on cards, connected with a kitsune poet. Yes, I was awaiting the "Snow-Fur" card, but it was apparently screwed and the art was used on some non-legendary kitsune card.
Snow-Fur. Ku-Ku. Kensuke, Noboru....many names that did not seen their cards.
SIL BONUS 2: Well, after Orodreth it was Gorthaur (aka Sauron), but the name of the tower was no more Tol Sirion, but Tol-in-Gaurhoth.

I would rate this one as mediocre. The best story from MTS so far is Sakashima.
Of course not!!!! My attitude is identical to yours. I like them, but I have assumed that with the end of the Land of Thousand Legends, these stories are over. I would find it nice, if they continue with Ravnica.... But I am afraid that it will remain only a wish...
Wow, I have not realized that !!! OK, Jugan was worse. Maybe I was too eager after reading Sakashima, and this was not exactly what I expected.
Not only in Washington....:mad1:
And as for LESURGO's question: I consider myself to be a devoted, if not extreme SW fan, but I have no idea about the movie you mentioned.
http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=magic/sok/iizuka
It is ironic that it is connected with Horobi's story by the character Forked-Tongue. I like it almost as little as I like Horobi's. One of the worst stories, at least for me. Meh, even Jugan was better, but not much.
I hope that Ayumi's story will be a nice final chapter of these stories.
When did Yoda meet Chewbacca in the original trilogy? At least in the films this never happened...
Yes, exactly. In retrospective, I have to admit, that I love Iname's story more than the kirins'.
So the remaining two stories are Iizuka the Ruthless and Ayumi, the Last Visitor. Judging from the names, I feel they could be good. The first is going to be in Sokenzan, and the last story is probably going to say goodbye to Jukai, Okina and the forest affairs.
BTW: nice avatar, Darth. If I recognize it well, it is really THE Tim, isn't it?
Too bad that one cannot be banned for just being an idiot. Sorry mods, could you do something with this?

We must accept that the East and West Kodamas are forever represented by Kodama's Might and Kodama's Reach.

You mean like the Jitte in BOK's Rats' Nest?
