If only- the lightning angel is from the duel deck.

So odd. While I think fat guys have it tough enough in a lot of lists, I think conditional removal that is less technical is probably better overall- attacking/blocking over toughness-counting anyways. Dismember becoming a counterspell seems off to me in this case.

I like it. A lot. Today I noticed my black section has a lot more 1-CMCs and red has a lot more 2-CMCs.

Sure he can play the rat/scorpion role, but is substantially better attacking than those types. A lot of people like thrill-kill assassin around here and I think this bro is better- they fit in lots of decks.

Gameday promos are kind of a toss-up. There have been plenty of both great and awful. I don't hate the guy, though. Deathtouch is great. I have accepted that I am the only person who hates clones.

Planeswalker clone had to happen eventually, but I especially don't like that it's so versatile. May lead to cool gamestates and complex plays but its raw power level being held back only by randomly being awful / dead is not a fun card IMO. I dread good clones.

It's fine if you play a couple weak fliers then just get in for a couple every turn. Has some tension between blocking and drawing. Cheap is great for tempo decks. Cloudfin Raptor -> Kor skyfisher -> military intelligence etc.

Kind of a shame Chandra is pretty much guaranteed not showing up since Sarkhan is mono red. She IS the one who managed to recreate Ugin's signature ghostfire, right?

iirc they had a kickstarter-ish thing for their current project. And Obsidian had a kickstarter for an isometric-view game, I think? As someone who plays almost no RPGs, I play Paper Mario with my young cousin every year (he turned 11 this year). The minor yet constant interaction during...

Bah, dragons and angels have been rares and uncommons for years. It would be a good rare, sure, but it's not nearly broadly powerful (Archangel of Thune) or clearly oppressive (baneslayer) as other mythics. While I think players would rather have resto angel a lot of the time, I like it in...

Why is that mythic? Regardless of rarity it looks like I get to start replacing oppressive things with merely good things.

You can only ever get 5, right? "Whenever one or more creature cards..."? And I for one am kinda glad it's an enabler instead of something you want to enable for, like everything else. The zombie thing is pretty boring but it's just value. Evaluating charms is weird. I think two of sultai...

That Sorin art isn't duel deck art? Oh dear...

Just down the pipe off the mothership: Ferocious is simple enough. Many cross-clan shenanigans going on in this set. Also this:

The problem I have with calling cards that are creatures with spells stapled onto them well-designed, much less best-designed, is that they are often side-creations of the mechanics that produce them. Shriekmaw and mulldrifter both being prime examples. They weren't designed as "this one...

Social media, the explosion is too big to be fake. Here is the picture MaRo posted, capturing the moment of the reveal for all time:

Welp... allied fetches confirmed. Still waiting for a not-crap picture from social media. Enemy fetches in third set??

If this is too small for you: +1 Until end of turn, ~ becomes a legendary 4/4 red Dragon creature with flying, indestructible, and haste. (He doesn't lose loyalty while he's not a planeswalker.) -3 ~ deals 4 damage to target creature -6 Your get an emblem you "At the beginning of your draw step...

New charms? Yay! Potential cycle of charm-costed rares? Yay! Delve forcing them to make more graveyard-enablers? Yay! Delve itself? eh... Outlast? er... I actually like three-color cards a lot so I'm itching to find some worth jamming.

Burrow seems an awful lot like that stealth mechanic or whatever it is from hearthstone, which I don't entirely hate. Getting your thing ruined before you can untap is often the downfall of many a cool card. An enchantment that did something like "creatures you control with summoning sickness...
