    Llanowar Elves might be getting the boot in my Elves deck. I like the art on this a lot.


    Wouldn't you run both. This is an Elf deck, right?

    I wish there was a way to put old cool art on better cards. So many old cards have cool art but are bad cards....

    I believe Sunburst has made a new friend.


    You see a friend to Sunburst, I see Armageddon's new friend. We see different things.

    I know this thread will get closed,

    But can someone add new threads for each card spoiled from the major dump?

    I want to see what people are talking about for each card, but everything is in just 1 thread.

    I know normally the links from the graphic spolier point at the spoiler thread, but because of the special way this was spoiled, can we make a change just for this Set? Just so we can see what people are saying and not have to scroll though hundreds of pages of General Spolier topics.

    PLEASE!

    I have hosted a site before, it's a lot of work. I do understand he does owe something to the people that make his site popular, but every time spend updating his site is for a product that has shown no interest in promoting his hard work. I wouldn't spend another minute on a site if I got a letter like that. And overall Mtg web presence is poor. Most people go to non-mtgdaily sites for the good content. When it comes to mtg online, everyone has done it better, wizards issues a stop order, and then they try badly to do the same thing.

  • posted a message on Grab-and-Go Event Decks
    This is more like a Cash Grab and Go...:o

    Is it my fault they were stupid enough to make $70 Dollar Standard cards and then wonder why no one was attending FNM?

    Screw them. (sry for the harsh word, but it seemed appropriate as that is what they are doing to little kids that can't even afford Standard Decks) Now we are going to have offical budget friendly standard decks. I thought that was what Standard was? Budget friend magic.

    I mean seriously, we wouldn't even be having this conversation if they hadn't gotten the glorous idea of making things cost more. When Standard Decks got over $200 we had a problem. This is just the realization of something that was implmented in M10. Now they want both Business models to work at the cost of their purchasing audience. I have a green deck for standard, mainly because I can't or wont' buy anything else. 12 dollar fetch lands, $70 Dollar Green Creatures, and $200 Planeswalker decks are not good for compeditive magic and this is not the solution. This is just a pathetic attempt to find a solution. Turn FNM into FND, Friday Night Drafts if Mythics are hear to stay.

    Quote from Brodie
    I hope this comment isn't taken the wrong way cause I found it rather funny.

    But just for the record, Teferi is black and one of the most beloved characters in the history of the game. Sisay, who was captain of the Weatherlight ship during the most adored story in the history of the game (seriously, Rath cycle wins in everyone's poll) was black as well. Black people were all over Mirage block due to the Africanesque themes. Also there's some guy named Rafiq that's supposedly pretty good.

    Just in case you were being sarcastic, see above. If not, disregard and ha.

    I think it was rude to remove the post from the asian guy that was suprised that there was a black person shown in this magic art. I took his post as truley supprised that the core set had black people. I have been playing the game for 10 years and don't remember any humans, other then white people, being depicted in the core set. It is a little unrealisitc to what should be depecticed. I realize humans were only technally added recently, but there were some guys that looked human to me for long time even if not called human.

    I can't think of the last time I bought a 4 dollar pack of Magic. This is at least half price and I will still get that same ripped off feeling when I get a horrible rare.

    You could give it to someone else, then you get a few extra trurns to agonize your opponent, brilliant!

    Play this with the other liches card and you could play the game forever!!!!

    Make sure you have a way to resuffle to get maximumn plunder power. You could keep your opponent going for a few hours at the least...

    Kinda like Weekend at Bernies.. carry around your dead friend!!

  • posted a message on You Decide! Vote Results: What did they matter?
    Quote from Joyd
    If you mouse over the little clock in the corner of the screen, you will note that it is September the 25th, not October. The end of October does not occur for several weeks. It is quite possible that something entirely different awaits the winner of the You Decide! voting, besides being included as a Timeshifted reprint.


    (edit)

    Time Spiral isn't available in store yes, (edit). And today is Sept. 28th. Unless the Earth cracks open and the Skies part and it suddenly becomes Oct. I think his point about the Oct reference is sensable. I didn't say I completely agree with his conclusion but the reference to October does have merit.

    (edit)

    Infraction for flaming (and threatening).

    Quote from Belgareth »
    While in my opinion that is very true, it's not all that nice to say Rolleyes


    While it true your true, you just agreed with him so you were thinking the same thing and just not brave enough to say it first?

    Now that's true.

    Onward!

    I think the card is a very nice design, I too don't see why Black is in there. The 3 power size is really a G/W or Red Creature size. So that alone makes me think it should be thouse colors. The mechanics though is where the card really shines, love the idea. It should just have a white activated cost, but be green just so as to get the ophidian ability. So overall I can see how it won, it's a great G/W match of triggered and activated ability. It also plays nicely into White recent spirit theme. I think it should have been 1WG and a 3/3 so you can use it to get threw more then one creature, plus Green middle fat creatures don't usually die so easy to shock. Maybe an Elephant spirit, that would have been cooler then elemental. Plus I could have used him in my elphant deck!

    I would have voted for it!

  • posted a message on [DCI Judge Promo] Regrowth
    I second the Yag Will vs. Regrowth. Why give a foil regrowth? Ya it looks nice but not very usefull...

    If they are going to foil out Balance, why not the moxes? Library? or Mask? Isn't Balance on the reserve list already so that can't be it. Maybe their just cheap and don't want to pay their judges with better cards. I am currently boycotting Wizards until they drop their lawsuit against Rancored Elf. I won't give them a dime until they stop this silly lawsuit.

  • posted a message on Wizards of the Coast vs. Daron Rutter: An Update
    Just wanted you to know Rancored Elf I decided to not attend the pre-release soon after I read your problems also. I also have only bought 2 singles from my local shop since January when I found out. I also sold some of my older cards on ebay as I decided to take some time off of Magic. Not going to stop playing but I really don't want to feed Wizards Legal Machine any extra money. The outcome on your case will make an impact on what I will do next. Why don't you make some stupid T-Shirt on your site like "I got sued by Wizards of the Coast and all I have left is this lousy T-Shirt"

    Just tring to think up some funrasiers that can also be very visable. Like players could wear it to major events. I am sure there are other players that think Hasbro needs to treat his fans better. I don't think we should post anything that they ask us not to, but I also don't think they should go around sueing people. Even if they drop the case, it still cost normal people alot of money just to get a lawyer.
