    To be honest, I'm a bit disappointed that they didn't go with werewolf for the Wolfir.

    My guess on creature type would be just Werewolf. It keeps continuity with the existance of werewolves from INN and DKA, and makes sense from an artistic standpoint since the art seems to relativly similar to the werewolf art on previous cards.

    And I don't think it's a matter of Avacyn not doing it before. Quite possibly she couldn't. But if her power is based on the beleif the humans have in her, while in return powering the faith-based magic that most of the humans use, what would happen when the Helvault shatters and she comes back?

    I would guess that her reappearance (possibly coupled with a power-up in some way from Sorin returning) gives her the power needed to lock the werewolves in their beastial bodies while letting their human minds stay in control. While most of the werewolves would probably prefer to be human, becoming this new 'Wolfir' and being treated as some type of holy warrior would probably be an acceptable second. Obviously some will still be unhappy with their situation, which could lead to art like the one from the video, where an angel appears to be pacifying a couple of them.

    I do believe the 1/1 Deathtouch wolf is black.

  • posted a message on What should I do with 5 vacation days....
    I've always been a fan of the North Carolina coast. It's beautiful in August, and you should probably still be able to find someplace there for rent. The Outer Banks are about 7 hours away, depending on where in Jersey you're coming from. If you're willing to take a little bit of a longer drive, Topsail Island is more of the hidden gem variety in North Carolina. It's more like 9 hours from Jersey, and has only recently been starting to become more developed (particularly the North end of the island). North Topsail Beach has a few places where you could spend a nice, quiet week.

  • posted a message on [COMM] Which pre-cons are you buying?
    LGS had a deal where you got 10% off if you bought all 5, so that's what I ended up getting. Not sure what I plan to play at the release.

    Doom Lich –
    Nice. I’ve never been much of a fan of milling, but I am a sucker for counters getting spread around. It’s a card that’s going to force some creative thinking for solutions, and gives you an advantage in the late game or on a turn after a good amount of milling.

    Lyzl –
    Interesting. Normally we see cards starting out as creatures, and turning into enchantments, so you’re going the opposite direction. I suppose it works on the card, but outside the card, mechanically, how does that work? And if you’re including that in your deck, likely because of the number of Legendary permanents you expect to be playing, it seems like giving your opponent the ability to shoot down your guys is just not worth a temporary bonus.

    Rimeshade –
    The fey folk as they should be: difficult to grasp. I’m liking the feel of the way things are shaping up for your creations.

    Top 3
    1. Rimeshade
    2. Doom Lich

    Quote from The Juggernaut
    It's actually quite scary that your instructor didn't make you look behind you when backing up...I would NEVER rely on just the mirror(s) to back up or merge...


    No no, I did. But then I didn't look directly at the driver side mirror to check along that side of the car, since I could see it out of the corner of my eye. That's where I lost the point.

    Make sure they can tell you are checking your mirrors any time the car is moving backwards. Got dinged a point because she didn't think I had checked a mirror because I hadn't turned my head towards it. And the full & complete stop is something that they get a little huffy over (in NY at least).

    Top 3, since I don't think I can get anything else done before tonight.

    1. drewdageek
    2. Shinen
    3. Rocket_Powered_Turbo_Slug

    Also, crap. Knew something didn't feel right about the entry, but I just didn't catch it. Akki Relicstabber was meant to be a 2/1.

    I'm going to have to drop. Too much to do this month, and very little time.
