Mechanically, I think the set is interesting, but, as with some other recent sets, too many of the cards are overcosted or have exorbitant limitations placed on them. Some potential diamonds in the rough, though. And as always, there's the caveat that some of the potential of a brand new set is...

I didn't build it with multiplayer in mind, but my brother mostly played it in three-player games and did well with it. I don't know what his friends' decks looked like, but I suspect that they're a little on the slow side, laid-back casual decks, not really prepared for something this fast. I...

"Unfortunately, you probably have a better idea of that than I do. I've been confined to this temple for too long. Speaking of which..."

I deliberately left that part open-ended. I considered sending out private messages, but I'm thinking of reserving that for cases when characters aren't together or when it's something more internal or that characters would consider private. I figured that the characters might discuss the...

The gauntlet attacks are separate from your normal attacks and come after them, sort of like with your kick attack from your Boots of Battle, but better. It is a magic weapon. At +2 Attacks, it would be pretty similar to your Fist Spike, but the sword can cause deathblows like any other...

Nothing.

You all take your turn at the same time in this game mode. It's like two-headed giant, but with three people. Three-headed giant? You guys sound like some sort of abomination of science. I'm basically the good guy here... :p

"Oh, besides just rescuing me, you stopped the goblins from poisoning our water. I managed to grab some things before the goblins could get them. I think you've earned these. But you'll have to decide amongst yourselves who uses them..." Blade of Leaping Bronze: As soon as it is drawn, this...

Remember, this is a multiplayer game, so your first mulligan gives you back seven cards. I'll take one. And then I'll set a scheme in motion! Swamp, done. Nicol Bolas, God Emperor of Dune: 40 Hand: 9 Library: 50 Battlefield: (U) Swamp x1 Graveyard: Exile...

Alright. I'll shuffle up my cards and schemes when I get home. Prepare to face your doom, Gatewatch!

"The fountain is safe now, thanks to you people. But Dorgath, you're the first dwarf I've ever met who actually helped us. The high priestess once asked the dwarves for help finding the book, and they refused. But that was before my time. I suppose that this is a welcome change. Oh, and I want...

Block.

That's a good point. Best guess: Reserved List "buyouts" affected speculation on Reserved List cards, but the effect sort of diminished moving forward by set release, because the oldest, rarest cards that already had high price tags were targeted first. Since Urza's Destiny was at the very tail...

The only reason I didn't buy the Planechase Anthology was that I already owned everything in it from having purchased the old Planechase products. I think for anyone who likes casual Magic and didn't do that, Planechase Anthology is a very nice item to splurge on. You don't get the original 2009...

What Carrow hears: At first, Carrow follows along well enough. But several seconds in, Jekaena points out a passage in the book while showing how it works. Carrow sees the words, ancient poetry about the forest, and becomes swept away in visions of other times. The book seems to be taking him on...

What Tomas hears: Jekaena is extremely knowledgeable, but is bad at explanations. She rushes through concepts of esoteric Asrai mysticism without realizing that her audience had no idea what she is talking about. To make matters worse, she suddenly breaks from rushing through everything to...

What Tyresius hears: A whole lot of magical mumbo-jumbo. Ty briefly wonders whether the water in the fountain is a potion of loquacity or something. Also, he's pretty sure that she's infatuated with Carrow. If that elf plays his cards right, why, well—oh, she's still talking. The delay in time...

What Throg hears: Blah, blah, blah. I'm a stupid elf. I sure do talk a lot. Words, words, words. Elf, elf, elf. I am skinny and puny. I am slow and have to use a cane to walk. I wouldn't last five minutes in the Chaos Lands. Talk, talk, talk. Blah, blah, blah. I'm an elf.
