    Why is Gisela topless and also a cherub?


    Those were your observations, in that order?

    I just pre-ordered the B/R titans, and I'm extremely happy about it.

    I also take great satisfaction in knowing that my wallet speaks louder than the forum whining, as you so eloquently put it. The sense of affirmation here is... refreshing.


    Thank you for your "valuable" contribution to more of that crooked business model.



    I’m confused. Who are you quoting when you say “valuable”?

    FlossedBeaver posted a message on Maro confirms strixhaven is no Reskin of any version of “magic school” and a bottom up set
    Did you guys read Maro's response? Strixhaven is "not just a reskinning of any one version," which leaves it fairly open to borrow from any number of sources. Just like every other set.

    The Giants (Titans) ones are a giant middle finger from Wizards to us. First, include Primeval, which is banned in EDH. Second, exclude Sun Titan, which sees more EDH play than any of the other OG Titans. Third, breaking it up into TWO sets, when the Black is Magic lair shows they’re willing to do a 7 card set, and combining these would only be 6, and again that’s with unforgivably leaving one out. Fourth, they have two different price tags, despite both having the same theme and the same number of cards? Wizards just s******g all over us.


    It's too bad you can't just opt out of the purchase. I know a guy who paid for a lifetime SL subscription, and he very much regrets it.

    These arts are really great. I love the style of the Kaya art, it may not be typical to MtG, but that's what these products are for and I think this is a great depiction of Kaya. I adore the Teferi art as well, I love the wholesome simplicity of Teferi with his loving family. It's something particularly unique to Teferi in the storyline, and I like that that aspect of his character has been getting more focus in the past couple years. Plus, I think it's deceptively empowering to see a black man depicted as a warm, strong father since black men have a history of being depicted as anything but in pop culture.

    That Cultivate art, though. What a gorgeous composition to match a really powerful piece of flavor text about resiliency and cultivating a brighter future from present struggles. Well done.


    I wanted to say something about the Cultivate flavor text too - it's not just eloquent, but metaphorically and contemporarily apropos as well.

    Love that Teferrriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii adsfa;sjdgl';adfgkjl;adsfhl;asdfijasdfjl;'. Art style is giving me strong Disney like vibes akin to Hercules. Being a parent this strikes me hardcore in a sentimental manner.

    Will all those who got into a tizzy about this SL simmer down now? It's really not that bad.

    I only wish it was the new Kaya. If I didn’t already own both of those ‘walkers this would be an easy pickup.

    Pass. Not a fan of the artwork especially the cartoony Kaya.



    I think she’s channeling Afro Samurai. Very empowering.

    Getting serious heart-shaped herb vibes from that Cultivate. Turns out Black Panther was getting his power from a black lotus all along!


    *mind blown*
