I think it's a decent mythic that will be underpriced. I like its use in a mono-U casual artifact deck with tezz and key. I'll make sure it see's play.
They overprinted Fallen Empires.. They underprinted Homelands.. All was printed in the name of jank. I did have some fun times with those sets, though.
So I saw the thread, and decided to grab a box from the LGS. Very odd box.. More like jank. :/ Top to bottom..

Needless to say, I'm a little angered at my pulls, but hey, I got full playsets of almost all unc/com, a few 3ofs', and I got to help the thread out.
In hindsight, I pulled 4 mythics, but I did crack 8 foils as well, only one being rare, Guul Draz Assassin.
I actually picked up a fallout and a negate. Now, while I like free cards, and I'm not about to complain with WoTC customer support, I haven't played in a event since the M10 release. I lacked the points, and actually got a mailing from them, sans foils. Has anyone else experienced this?
I got my mpr mailing today. It had the oversized preview card, and a textless fallout and negate. Strangely enough, I haven't played in ANY event since the m10 prerelease. I recieved the last mailing for the zen jumbo as well. Something wierd is going on with wizards.
Player to PW redirection damage will still work. Pass priority then redirection? So target player, redirect post priority, bang said PW.. etc.. Should be fine and dandy.
Well. I guess the infest is nice. I would prefer the fallout for collector purposes. But both are well.. Nice. Good t2 cards. Few months late on the fallout, though. Rewards, regardless. Good reason to go out and play.
Nice. This gives me a good reason to come out hiding, do a few zen drafts, and attend the WWK prerelease. I skipped the Zen prerelease because of work, and oh so many drafts. I do love some free cards. The cancel I got because of previous events was.. lackluster. Are either foil?
RW? You've tried the grace.. What else have you tried, besides obvious path/oring answers. Grace can help, as can Serra. I'd also look into elspeth chumping if that's what the deck aims for..
Those mountains look freaking awesome. I think shards was a good time to jump back in the game, and from the good things they've been giving us lately, between m10 and some of these spoils, it's great player incentive to get back in the game, with fresh new things.. Also, is that a stargate I see on one of the mountains? :/
But those Islands... woah. Big floating stone cups? Crazy obelisk thing stuck to a cliff? I'm thinking those obelisks are Mirari-like in some way.[/QUOTE]
The swamps, the two we've seen are horrible. I can pull better things out of my bathroom sink, compared to the other lands. But they've only shown us two. I'm sure the others will more than compensate. What is a company that shows the best product first, but unveils crap later? I look forward to the previews. Let's hope the other two are a bit more definitive. Swampish, if you will.
Box+fatpack+draftx6.. Easy way to pick up things. Sure, money might be tight, but trading after draft is win. Get what you want. Online? No idea. I don't MODO.
