    Scavenging Ooze wasn't a reprint.

    Also, how many of those were worth more than a few dollars when the product was released?



    Yeah, I love how arguments are being made via the current prices of those cards, rather than what each card was worth when it was released. Using the cards listed recently, here's what the most recent printing of each was approximately worth in mid-2013 (using MTG Goldfish history):

    Aura Shards: $2
    Grave Pact: $5.50
    Oblivion Stone: $10
    Austere Command: $3.50
    Insurrection: $1.50
    Lightning Greaves: $4
    Solemn Simulacrum: $3
    Skullclamp: $2.50
    Eternal Witness: $3.50

    There are quite a few languages spoken on the Iberian peninsula, of which the three most prominent are Spanish, Portuguese, and Catalan. Other languages include Galician, Basque, Leonese, and Aragonese. This is how "Frederick" is commonly spelled in the prominent ones:

    Spanish: Federico
    Portuguese: Frederico
    Catalan: Frederic

    So she's most likely using the Catalan variant of the name.

    Amphetadex posted a message on Comannder Anthology II deck lists Atraxa Mimeoplasm Daretti and Kalemne
    Just realized what looks like the likely reason they chose Kalemne: it means each color is represented in two decks each.

    White: Kalemne & Atraxa
    Blue: Mimeoplasm & Atraxa
    Black: Mimeoplasm & Atraxa
    Red: Daretti & Kalemne
    Green: Mimeoplasm & Atraxa

    That said, I don't think the reasoning justifies including the Kalemne deck as representative of that year's cycles. :/ Sometimes sticking to a rubric just ain't worth it.

    Landscape images on boosters, like Conspiracy had. Interesting.


    And Unstable as well. Seems to be their way of signalling a set that's supplemental, focused on draft, and features new content (unlike Masters sets).

    And it's also funny you say that, because on my iPad Air, every article has the right side of its text cut off when I'm in portrait view. Using Chrome as well. The lack of consistency on this site's functionality is astounding. About half the time I look at the Card of the Day the images are super squished. And I can't even identify what the pattern could be that causes that to happen so sporadically. It's beautiful.

    As someone who does UI/UX web design professionally, I was able to have a great, sad laugh at work today with a dev guy who also plays Magic. This is just incredibly unprofessional.
