i've been playing since 2008 and i'm excited to say that this is the first set i'm not excited to buy packs for.
Agreed. I deliberately will not attend BNG prerelease either.
It is bad idea to buy 6USD booster packs to open 0.60USD worth of cards in each then you need a playset of Brimaz, for example. Much better idea to simply spend 100 USD on playset of given Mythic Rare card at secondary market.
Mark of the Vampire because it was game breaking in M13. Other cards a so-so in draft.
I think it is better to let other people fight for white (Celestial Flare and Banisher Priest) and Slivers (Mutavault) cards - 3 people in the row to be exact.
...I also think MM cards will eventually be commanding a premium over their original counterparts assuming that this product is released in short supply.
If somebody wants to play always the same game and make only one investment - then buy yourself a chessboard. Very cheap, very skill intensive and very unfun.
I play Magic and pay for it because it is fun, very skill intensive and moderately random.
Trampling with this wurm and then launching it with Jarad? Sick. Unfortunately I can't remember when I got this amount of mana even in EDH, so bye-bye for hardcasting. Also Selesnya charm laughs at this.
I do remember then I have 11 mana in Standart last time - turn 4-5 pretty consistently.
Want to abuse this new toy in my deck after RoR release. Need to think how to give it haste and then sack it on the same turn.
The most useful speculation thread I've read so far.
I think we will saw invasion from the underwater in the 3rd set of the Innistrad block along with answer to Avacyn question. She must reveal herself (her true self) or else all humans will be put to sword by invaders (salamander dudes we saw in M12).
Loaded question: What DOES stop them that isn't mass removal?
Two things I think :):
- counterspell/discard + Surgical Extraction;
- mass land destruction. To my pity such is very unstable and I don't play it on tournaments.
I am, for example, along with Duskmantle Seer who doesn't see any play today.

The best reprint is Trading Post and the best new card is Young Piromancer.
M14 will be first pre-release from last 2 and half years I won't attend.

May be this art is for Phantom Warrior?
My thoughts exactly.

Usually you receive nothing, because your opponent makes his best to steamroll Chandra 3.0 right away :D!

Agree with every word. Big red must be red.
Last friday FNM at my area won guy with Big Red. Plain and simply he went 6-0 beating Caw-Blade, Valacut ramp, Mono Black Control, UR Splinter Twin.
