MTG Salvation

So that means Wild Mongrel is a dog now I take it?

Ok now this makes up for the disappointing themes. Linvala in the new frame looks awesome and that's some nice reprints.

The plains is quite stunning. I want it in foil if able.

Well, at least they got Prowess in there. If they didn't then it'd be a colossal failure.

Follows the pattern of starting out with a bang and then ending on a whimper.

That gain control thing is permanent. Hooo boy multiplayer EDH is gonna get real feisty. Make sure you don't use the same sleeves because then that's tableflippin' time.

Kira and Efreet are cool reprints. At least it's better than the soggy chaff that is the water theme. Ugh.

Wait... do you hear that distant sound? The far off rumbling, like someone about to explode out of sheer exuberance?

Either that or someone has bad gas.

Uhm, well...cool?

Now that’s a reason to write home about. Hello goblin tribal resurgence

That island art is phenomenal. Love how they make cards that create treasure tokens or add X mana whenever you cast them to make it look like you're casting them for a "bargain" cost.

I'd still take the Corsair Captain nonetheless. Reef Pirates will be unstoppable now!

Quote from Tiro of Meletis »

I've been wanting new art fo Archaeomancer. And new Archaeologist themed cards in general. But darn, I was hoping they'd finally give us a male one.

It's Archaeomender, not Archaeomancer. This is the mender's first printing.

I have a playset of Prophecy Rhystic Studies but this is helpful.

That Sphinx though.

More Prowess

That trigger on the phoenix is pretty easy to make happen. Depends on what else is in this deck theme to determine its feasibility.

Hey look Bulwark Giant's cousin is coming in for the fun. And you all laughed at me when I played Wall of Wood. Cower in phear, peasants!

Ooh I love the theme card for Seismic

Of note:

• Grim Lavamancer
  
• Volcanic Fallout
  
• Wall of Blossoms
  

Definitely worth the drive to Acton (those in Southern Ontario older than 30 will understand what I'm referring to)

Miranda Meeks' art style is pretty awesome. I love the...softness of the colouring and character design and reminds me of Indulging Patrician.

However I guess my hope for an Argivian Archaeologist was false because well reserved list. Scarecrone coming back is a plus. What's it at now, like $15-20?

'buster

I'm kind of disappointed there's no reprint of Glimpse of Nature. That would have fallen perfectly into this. Maybe it would've been too busted though for an uncounterable draw engine...

Still, some high-dollar cards to look out for nonetheless.

P.S: And for some reason when I read GameOnAus I read it as GameOnAnus. I feel like an ass

The Oracle alone makes it worthwhile.

That'll be yuuuggeee in EDH and any other format that can utilize that.
