    Quote from Denegaar
    Everyone and his mother is talking about how better is BG zombies over BR zombies... and the weakness? BG zombies lacks the ability to finish out long games, or even virtually lost ones.
    G gives to zombies an unmeasurable aggresion early game, but if the opponent manages to stop you... you're really screwed. R gives you burn and, more important, a sac outlet for finnishing the other player.
    Mortarpod has rotated, and that's a huge blow to zombie players. People can't imagine how powerful that card was until they play with it in the deck.


    Green has multiple sac outlets, especially in the Golgari family now.
    Though I am partial to using Prey Upon and Disciple of Bolas
    Non repeatable, but it is there.

    I am rather happy about instantly being able to drop something into the yard to unburial (or other means) while getting +1 +1 at instant speed

    I wish that instead of the spindowns they start using the life counter from the Commander kit coming up.

    Has that combo actually been in a Standard deck that got somewhere ? I only saw Restoration Angel pop up in Delver.


    Has nothing to do with Restoration Angel though that is a cute gimmick.
    Thragtusk is used in many if not most green aggro, red/green aggro and whatnot decks. With POD gone that is one use of him going away, but he will find a home in any form of populate decks if such a thing happens.

    As has been said, this confirms nothing other than the name of the art piece.
    It has been seen and is from DotP.

    M10, M11, M12 .. they all have no value. All cards in these core sets are cheap. I doubt M13 would be different.

    Retailers constantly offer huge discounts on those booster boxes and singles.


    This is true and great and all, the problem is nobody wants to open packs.
    Nobody will draft M13 when you can draft RtR or AvR.
    Even when M13 was new people were in a holding pattern until RtR.
    I believe that will keep some of the cards holding value, while obvious bulk will be obvious bulk.

    Really shoddy speculation here.
    The guild pack will be fixed for the most part, it will NOT have the ravnica land in it nor will it have the guild leader.
    They will go out of their way to make sure that these packs are balanced.

    Quote from Wydogg5305
    This card isn't very good. Just another card that looks much better than it plays. It's good on curve....just like any other reasonable card. Other than that, it does nothing. On top of it being legendary, so even more of a dead draw/top deck.


    You are out of your mind.
    A 6/6 flying trample for 4 with an easy condition?
    Not very good?
    Keep fighting the good fight interweb warrior.

    Mana cost should have been GG1 at the most and it would have been interesting.
    At it's current cost, finding room for it will be rough.

    This card is underwhelming.
    Channel Fireball should really be embarrassed that they tried to hype this spoiler yesterday on facebook.

    Sounds rather baseless to me.
    Not a peep about this has been mentioned.

    Ok is it just me or is Switcheroo's text open ended?
    "Exchange control of two target creatures."
    The exchange could be from one player to another not one creature for another. I dont doubt they meant 1for1 but still were talking a possible Time Walk level wording error here.


    It is just you.
    It is quite clearly worded.

  • posted a message on [DOTP] No Promo cards, Promo boosters instead!
    Quote from skullmount4
    Has anyone preordered on Steam yet? Are they giving out the code? Because, it's still not mentioned on the product page.


    They will not give the code out before the game launches.
    They do not want a bunch of shady people to pre-order and then cancel after they get the codes.
    There will be a tab in the game like always to get the code.

    There are some damned thick headed people in here.
    Bolas is confirmed.
    Read the damned thread that covers it, there is a direct quote.
    If you can not find it, too bad it is not our job to find links for people that are too lazy to stay informed.
    Gold cards also have been confirmed.
    Period.
    Deal, cope, pray, seek therapy, whatever it takes to get past it.
