    Well, at least they made it a rare, so you won't be saddled with multiples of a nearly useless removal card in Limited.

    And thanks to this card now you too can ruin Tron's day with one paltry mana, kill those mechanical wurms and unspeakable cosmic abominations without breaking a sweat.

    But wait, there's more, use it to put a stop to illegal drag races, also gets rid of ravaging robots and more, grab 'em while they're hot, really.


    Unspeakable cosmic abominations? Surely you don't mean the queen mama that can't be targeted by colored spells, right?

    Just saying you could've hyperlinked almost any other colorless creature, but you had to link literally the one colorless creature this spell can't touch lol. Can't think of any others besides OG Emmy.

    These card names with two words that are very similar in spelling are just playing into the "Two" nature of everything in this set, most notably Doubling Season.

    posted a message on Iconic masters is going to have a wave 2?
    Wasn't there a 2nd wave of MM2 in response to such a low print run of MM1 that WotC didn't want to repeat that scenario?

    For those not in the know, would you elaborate on how you feel WotC screwed up EMA with a second wave?

    Today is the seventh day of September.
    The ability costs seven life to use.
    There are exactly seven letters in 'vampire'.
    This card costs five mana, not seven.
    Power and toughness doesn't add to seven.
    There's not seven vampires in the art.
    I put seven words in every sentence.

    Instead of using pencil and paper and stuffing the paper under the card with the chance of it getting accidentally revealed, most people have phones nowadays, so you could just text yourself or someone else the name you've chosen, and then reveal it when needed. No paper required that way.

    If you're thinking about logistical or other possible problems with the way it could be abused, then that is likely a problem with the people you're playing with if it's going to go that far.

    posted a message on Rivals of Ixalan and 25
    With Ixalan being the fall 2017 set, Rivals of Ixalan (RIX, I'm guessing) will be the January 2018 release. With 2018 being the year of Magic's 25th anniversary, perhaps the Ixalan block becomes the first three set block in a return to the "One three-set-block a year" format that was tried and true for so long, and "Magic 25" is a return to Core Sets in the summer. It's no secret that the unpopularity of Standard has coincided with the change to the "Two Two-set blocks per year" paradigm that was introduced a couple years ago. Perhaps WotC has realized this and is reverting back to what made Standard extremely popular, especially from Zendikar through RTR-Innistrad seasons.
