Has anyone ever had luck contacting the dragon shield people and getting a reply back? I bought a 100 pack for a edh deck a good while ago and when I finally got around to use them 2 of them had large noticeable creases on the back. The pack had exactly 100 in them and I cannot take them back to the store, tried emailing what would be the 4th time now since February and the only reply I got was an automated reply saying they were out of the office for a holiday.
I dunno what to expect either way but I would like to just get a reply:confused:
I like the naya one only because in a multiplayer game, if an opponent attacks you they get no bonus....but attack someone else, bonus, its a nice way of saying hey leave me alone without saying it
geez I did not think I ever played this much magic, I guess i should stick to sealed mostly, seems I do fine with that

but as a bonus for entering they gave out 3 packs of dragonmaze, in the first pack was a sacred foundry so i was happy, then i opened the second pack, godless shrine foil Master of Cruelties and ral zarek so needless to say overall i was happy
I decided to go watch it again earlier today and I think I enjoyed it a bit more then I did originally for various reasons, I think knowing the outcome made it so that I could watch it from a different perspective and enjoy it more then I did the first time
I still had issues with some of it, but I dunno I just liked it more, and I actually got emotional a bit at the end (not boohoo tearful emotional, more like joy knowing how it would end)
maybe it was that the theater I was in had better sound and I could hear bane better and the score much better which when heard really helps I think with the movie
overall Im glad I saw it again and will most certainly buy it on blu ray and hope for some special features and what not to expand the film
i think i will have to view it again, but this time just focus less on batman and more on the others in the movie and try and see if i can see what others saw which made the movie better for them then it was for me
and i think selina's goggles were more to give her the cat ear look when she had them flipped up over her head, to imply catwoman without saying it
But still, he had to have known that something was going on, especially when guns started being pointed.
And even still, he was obviously being used AND got shot. And his reaction is, "Call me?" Is there magical mind control in this movie?
Ok, so it was one of Bane's guys with them. Got it.
i think he was already a bit drunk, and he sorta when he went in plopped himself down at the bar, so she probably got him good and drunk to make him more agreeable
My problem with that is that it totally cheapens Bane's character. Bane is poorly developed and is a stock character as is, but what the movie really tried to do was make him a foil for Batman by giving him this mystique of being the child forged in darkness and hell, while Batman was a man of privilege (never mind the fact that Batman still managed to kick the entire League of Shadows' asses the first movie). But then they reveal that it's Talia who was forged in darkness and hellfire. Talia being a person of privilege who owns a company that deals in philanthropy and is a multi-billionaire and couldn't fight Bruce Wayne in a million years.
The whole thing of giving Bane a love interest does at least give his character a motivation for wanting anything to do with the League of Shadows, but I have huge problems with Bane, who starts out as this awe-inspiring monster of a man who is a revolutionary dictator and a fanatic terrorist all rolled into one, turning out to be some love-sick puppy who is the muscle of the operation as opposed to the brains.
By the way, if this sounds familiar, it's because James Bond did that already.
It's called The World is Not Enough. And Renard wasn't even one of the GOOD Bond villains.
Since we're sharing, I might as well type out a few of my problems.
Ok, so did Bruce Wayne really injure his legs? If no, then why does the doctor say he has injuries and why is he wearing a leg brace? If yes, then why does he have no trouble walking or doing his stunts to get into Gordon's hospital? Also how did he injure them? Further, how does he have 8 years and not get over his leg crippling, but have no problems dealing with his back?
So the CIA guy has three mercenaries of Bane, one of whom is Bane, that they captured and have bags over their heads. As far as I could tell, none of the CIA guy's men were insiders working for Bane. If that's the case, who captured Bane and put the bag over his head initially? Because if it was someone looking for a masked man, guess what...
I had absolutely no idea what was going on with the whole Congressman taken hostage, deal gone south, etc. First of all, why does the guy in charge of the rival company want Bruce Wayne's fingerprints again? Second, Catwoman goes into the bar to make a deal, and the Congressman just goes along with it? Then the Congressman gets shot, and he says, "Call me?" So is he in on the plan? Did he know he was going to get shot? And he just went along with it? Because there's NO way he could have missed that something was going down.
Anyway, the cops surround the bar and proceed to block off all exits. Then something really dumb happens. One of Bane's lieutenants, a sniper, starts shooting at the police, prompting them to chase after him, which leads the police and Gordon right into the sewer where Bane's men are working covertly. Why did he do that again? And furthermore, why didn't corrupt corporation man get caught?
Gordon then jumps into the sewer, oh Gordon you so awesome, and Bane tells them to find Gordon. The guy says that Gordon could have washed up anywhere, so Bane gives him a cellphone and then shoots him so he'll wash up where Gordon does and they can track the signal. Yet, despite the fact that Gordon could wash up anywhere and there's no way to know where without a tracking device, Blake manages to find Gordon before Bane does.
So Bane's plan is to waltz into Wall Street, shoot some guns, and then destroy the stock market. Predictably, the entire scene is surrounded by cops within moments, and they cut everything that the crooks need to succeed in their plan. Bane decides they're going to get on motorcycles and start a police car chase to ensure their plan is a success. The police pursue. Now, based on what we see here, it seems as though if Batman hadn't shown up, thereby causing the police to reprioritize, they probably would have caught Bane. So Bane's plan almost failed due to the police doing exactly what anyone could have foreseen they would do.
Further, if Bane wanted to create mass anarchy, why did he need the bomb? Why not simply use the stock exchange to remove all the money in the city or the world, and then have the people of Gotham riot? This is not dissimilar from the movie Fight Club. Indeed, that would have created pandemonium globally.
So Batman's the star pupil of Ra's al-Ghul AND the world's greatest detective, and he never thinks to hit Bane in the mask, even after he learns what the mask does, until the very last part of the last fight scene? You wouldn't think to maybe aim for that first?
The final fight sequence makes no sense. First of all, the cops are fully armed, but instead of shooting at the criminal army, who are armed with tanks and automatic weapons, they decide to run at them and start punching them. Although, this ends up being a really intelligent decision, as they're able to charge into automatic fire with only a few of them getting mowed down and the tanks proving pretty much useless.
Speaking of tanks, what exactly happens in that initial sequence? Bane orders the tank to open fire and kill them all. The tank fires, then The Bat shows up. Now, I missed what happened here: did The Bat destroy the tank, or did it simply take the shot that was supposed to be fired at the crowd? Because you notice that every time the tanks fire at The Bat, they do nothing. I assume that Batman simply took the shot because his weapons seem to be anti-personnel weapons that do nothing against a tank. Seems short-sighted of Fox considering that the Batpod has massive firepower, but whatever. The point is: Why didn't Batman just stay there and provide air support for the police? He didn't even have to open fire on the crowd, he could have just been disruptive. None of the tanks could shoot him out of the air!
Wait, are you trying to say that Bane himself feels despair, or that Bane is despair?
Neither came across to me.
just to answer a few of your questions from what i can recall
yah the leg thing was odd, its really, bad, but then it's not, then he has the device on that allows him to kick through brick, so why not just kick bane hard in that leg, and then hes in the prison, they removed the batsuit, i doubt they left the thing on his leg, so that had to heal along side his back
as for the start, it was banes lieutenant who's always by his side through out the movie that dropped them off to the cia dude, so I am guessing he either pretended to just be a merc or something to the cia guy and then says heres some guys who work for bane, and the cia guy trusts him
dagget or daggert or whatever his name was, he wanted the prints i guess so that bane could goto the stock market, use them to gain access to and drain waynes funds, thus making him broke and allowing dagget or say look waynes broke, i should be in charge now, and then merge both his and waynes company, it was basically just a business thing i guess
and the congressman, when selina gets into the car with him after stealing the necklace from bruce, she asks him for a ride and his reply was "you read my mind" implying that he just went along with this stuff because he was horny and probably let the little congressman do the thinking from that point on
yah gordan in the sewers was random, just as easily could have ended up somewhere else and drowned or whatever
saw it today, I liked it, but somehow felt a little disapointed and I just am not sure why...
it sorta reminded me of transformers 3 when the decepticons take over the one city and it appears so hopeless and then some people fix it and the movies over, but i agree batman wasn't used much which I am sure was the plan, bane was played well, I dont think he was the star, but at the end when talia is talking and re-attaching the items on his mask you can see it in his face his pain, it was well done. and then catwoman was also well done, blake was i think the almost obvious star, he was played well and the ending made me a bit happy in away that they may continue the franchise with maybe him as the new batman or nightwing or whatever, but it got me thinking about how good that could be
overall i guess its a good movie don't get me wrong, i think it went on a little to long and dragged a bit, they seemed to want people to see batman/bruce suffer, and i personally have always had a hatred of super hero movies in which they remove a heroes mask, and watching him watch them break into the vault of bat goodies and have bane hit him so hard that his mask broke off was i dunno just odd for me to watch, sort of just all around hard to see batman broke, really deep stuff for a super hero movie
also no superman trailer for me, was disapointed by that

so not only did i get a foil mythic and a regular mythic, although not the same card, i also got a shock with it, so that's gotta be a real rarity
and thus it means i will never open anything combined that will top that, in my entire life, ever
which means my luck is used up for a bit
but as a bonus for entering they gave out 3 packs of dragonmaze, in the first pack was a sacred foundry so i was happy, then i opened the second pack, godless shrine foil Master of Cruelties and ral zarek so needless to say overall i was happy
