They lose their second and third round picks if they don't make the playoffs.
As a Patriots fan, I'm shocked and appalled by this controversy, and personally don't agree with the leniency of the punishment. Belichick should've received a 4 game suspension in addition to the other penalties, although perhaps fined less.
I'm with you. I'm also a Patriots fan, and feel the Patriots got off a bit easy. I felt there should have been a minimum two-game suspension. I also feel the Patriots should have had a two-year reduced salary cap.
But, that's me, and some of the local yahoos feel the punishment is too harsh; in fact, any punishment would be too harsh. Twits.
All that you do with posts like this is encourage WotC to crack down on people that give and receive early information. Yes, we got the info. Is it really necessary to gloat? It's not like WotC doesn't know that we got it. They have proven, definitively, that they can stop us from receiving/posting rumors essentially whenever they feel like.
But, as MaRo pointed out, he loves these sites! He loves knowing what he knows and watching us figure it out and creating the buzz.
And, we're not really gloating, so much as being pleased with all the hard work done by everyone here to get this spoiler. I love having the spoiler going in so I can organize my binder and start filling it right after the first flight is over.
Remember, the biggest concern wasn't the "leaked" information of the current set, but the leak of the Time Spiral play card images, with the bonus symbol.
I'll almost certainly be in Boston with three teenagers in tow.
I'll be there early Saturday, and probably up for two flights.
I'm a little over 6', with a brown moustache. I'll be complaining about needing reading glasses and buying with bills that have the Where's George? web site stamped on them.
Torchling 3RR Creature - Shapeshifter R: Torchling gains trample until end of turn. R: Torchling cannot be the target or Spells or Abilities until end of turn. R: Untap Torchling 1: Torchling gets +1/-1 until end of turn. 1: Torchling gets -1/+1 until end of turn. 3/3 Rare
The Dream Charm is a solid pick in limited, and might even see some play in constructed. It's versatile, providing an interesting counter to that finishing Fireball-type card.
The Chronozoa? Interesting. Very interesting. It's a "must deal with" card, because it just keeps dividing. I don't see it too much in constructed, but very playable in Limited.
I'm sure you meant "Shadowmoor".

I'm hoping he will do the same.
I might actually attend two different pre-releases this year (CT and Boston), so I'd love to know when folks start planning (I started, oh, today).
Because some of us have busy lives, and don't spend a lot of time here.
Not only should this have its own thread, it should be stickied!
Bluffing is an excellent tactic, but the other point about not always making the obvious attack is a good one too.
I'll look forward to more of your articles.

That said, you folks all did a kick-ass job of getting this spoiler together.
Watch for fake information to be coming out of Russia in the future, so WotC can plug the "Russian Mafia Leak".(TM)
I'll print up my 9-page spoilers tomorrow, and have my binder ready for cards on Saturday at the prerelease (Boston, in case you missed the thread).
This is going to be fun. Again!

So, it's ... abundance without value??
Hmm. Any help, folks?
Do not play this with any Hellbent cards!
Combine the max hand size of two with Magus of the Scroll, and you've got game!
I like the card.
Oh, and don't say, "That's old news!" C'mon, these folks have done such a great job getting the spoiler together, almost everything is "old news".

I don't miss Hymn at all.
I loved Rainbow Vale in multi-player. There was so much "choose me" involved.
And there was nothing quite as much fun as dropping the Goblin War Drums. It was a fun finisher.
It just seems that the shock lands will have value throughout the next six years.
And, are we speculating on any of the premium prices?
Three out of five is pretty good!

Now, if I can only AEther Snap it.....
I'd do it myself, except my Russian consisted on one semester more than 20 years ago, so I remember ... nothing!
