Yeah, he's right. If you use Suspend first turn, then it'll come into play on your fourth. It could've been worded worse. It could've been like "At the beginning of your upkeep, remove a time counter. If you can't, play this card without paying its mana cost." That would make it come out turn 5, which would suck. I like Suspend.
I have to agree. I end up actually either using or throwing away all of the 100 cases I buy. There's usually a 3:1 ratio of those that go on smooth, and those that break. They pop out the bottom! F'in UltraPro!
Oooohhh...you know what would be cool? What is WotC put up fake pictures because they knew people would try and find them out? Maybe those pics are just there for a "false idol" of sorts, and the real pics are TS stuff! Sneaky WotC...sneaky...
...Though i'm probably wrong...
Hmm...we did know about Ravnica way back when Champions Of Kamigawa was released, and that's why I was mad when they announced Time Spiral so late. I also doubt they'd announce the next block because if it remains on Dominaria then it could possibly give information about this block also. Maybe it'll be another new plane...or a return to one we've recently known or long forgotten.
As for the sleeves, me thinks it's too small of info to be the Arcana. Despite everyone's opinion...though I am usually wrong about 40% of the time, every time. If this truly is the Arcana...BOOOO!!!! WASTE OF ARCANA!!!
Edit: Someone take a look at that picture in between the two people on the blown up shots. The blue one. What does it look like to you guys, cause I really don't think it looks like what I'm thinking it looks like. It can't. They'd never reprint what that picture is reminding me of.
At first I thought Timetwister, but when I compared art, they were different in ways. What did you think it was?
I chose Guardian Idol simply because I think it'll play better than Mind Stone IMO...of course, my opinion has led to some pretty bad outcomes...
You: Should I get the soup or salad, Dan?
Me: Uh....the soup tastes good IMO.
You: Ok!

Aleksi Brisclot was the obvious choice for me. He does great 'tendrils of magic' effects (as seen on the 'Skeins' cards from Dissension), but apparently the majority doesn't agree with me.
If it helps, I agreed with you Feste. Briclot is one of my favorite new artists since his stuff in Betrayers (Horobi's Whisper). I also love Boros & Szikszai because their stuff is so real looking it amazes me. Just look at Invoke The Firemind.
I don't know about it...it seems odd. What the other people said, the Unhinged card Topsy Turvy, I don't think WotC would make a card with a similar effect, especially after a card in an Un-set.
If it is real, the combat step would be...interesting.
Me: Aaaannddd you take 2 damage!
You: I'll block with my Daru Warchief.
Me: I'll attack with my Iwamori.
You: Are you going to attack?
Me: Wait...what just happened?
Would you have to predict how much damage is dealt BEFORE blockers and attackers are declared if everything is reversed? Damn WotC, way to confuse us.
Also, one of the pages shows a bookcase of the Magic novels. If I recall, the Onslaught block was the last block to have colored side-bindings; the Mirrodin block and on had the black side with just the logo on them. Now, that's 9 novels like that...and there are 16 or so on that page. A lot don't look like doubles (except the Guildpact one because it's noticeable) so what other books are shown? Some of the titles look really weird also.
The block after Time Spiral is "Peanut-Butter-Jelly". After that is "Rock-Paper-Scissors", followed by "Live-Long-Prosper". It was discussed a while back.
