MTG Salvation

They're going all out with this aren't they?

After reading the comments in this thread, I’m trying to figure out where all the naysayers and complainers went to 🤔

Encore reminds me of Channel in Saviors, although it feels more like an instant throw-away version of Bestow.

And Monarch is back. Same with Cascade. This is draftable too right? Oh man this is going to be an interesting format if it is.

Ruh roh. Someone in WOTC's German distribution ops probably isn't too happy right now.

They finally gave Tevesh Szat a card. And a planeswalker one at that. All we need is a Leshrac card and then together with Szat and Lim-Dul we can have a happy lore family.

Here's hoping for Taysir, Greensleeves and Kristina of the Woods. C'mon oldwalkers!

People forget Mind’s Desire.

I’m not into constructed so much anymore but even in limited the moment Omnath comes down, if you have no way to immediately deal with it, scoop.

2019/2020’s Standard season has been a giant clusterf*ck the likes I haven’t seen in years. How many banned cards from Eldraine does that make now?

Ya know this kind of makes you wonder what degree of involvement Richard Garfield has in this whole thing.

I wonder what he must be thinking about the game he created and where it's going.

'buster

You're all wrong.

It's totally Ulgrotha with some unspoken lineage to Innistrad and that the Markov family once emigrated from Ulgrotha to Innistrad while Serra and Feroz were present and before the ban came into place.

Or vice versa.

Hah I can be a storyboard writer too ya know

But yet they had no problem with Zendikar releasing on time. Same with M21.

This is getting full of lamesauce.

print stuff like
"Value Murder" 1BB Instant
Destroy target creature. If it has an enter the battlefield trigger, draw a card.

This makes sense. I remember in the days when Rishadan Port was the game ruiner and then in Invasion block they printed Tsabo's Web and Teferi's Response as a way to nullify it. Not sure how well it worked but it was something.

More snow (hur durrr), and honestly I want to see Cumulative Upkeep again either modified or as it was in Coldsnap.

that said o want more Ripple and/or Recover. Both are underused mechanics that deserve more light in the frigid sun.

If you thought the Walking Dead crossover was enough, bu-bu-bu-baby you ain’t seen nothing yet!

Supposedly Innistrad is going to be a Castlevania-inspired crossover however some snags involving the IP licensing from Konami. Then an Eldraine II Set in early 2022 is to be inspired by a Chronicles of Narnia theme. And many more allegedly.

So sayeth Timmy https://youtu.be/lWnGH2kM7Fc

PS I’m curious on the Castlevania crossover. Loved that series growing up and has a more fantasy feel than TWD.

Who is this Mark Heggan guy? Was he hired on strictly for SL?

Wait...

Omg did anybody even notice the holo symbol on the bottom of the cards

It's a triangle instead of a oval

Folks consider those as silver border

either that or the Illuminati are involved somehow.


I bet the Magic Historian is going to make a video that’s one giant constant bleeeppplpp.

This twitch stream is brutal to listen to...

Apparently SL is "evolving."

NO WE'RE NOT SEEING WHAT YOU'RE SEEING. AGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!1111

Crossovers seem to be the flavour of the season: Grey's Anatomy is doing a crossover with Station 19; last year I think 9-1-1 did a crossover with some other show.

WOTC is simply capitalizing on the trend, but at what long-term expense? Welcome to the age of pop culture conformity in the extreme.
