The rest of the set was spoiled while I was at work... Dream Twist: Meh. More Flashback mediocrity. Glare of Subdual: OK. Opposition was better. "But being able to tap land wasn't fun for your opponent." Don't be a baby. Fact or Fiction: Nice. This'll probably be the newb trap in draft. It's...

Retraction Helix rotated out and I hadn't really done much with the Standard deck that I built. I've stayed away from Standard, but this deck I've been seeing mentioned lately has my interest piqued. If I'm going to put together a Standard deck it's got to be a combo deck. Well, Eldrazi...

Having discussed the matter amongst yourselves for long enough, you return to Lord Cael with your decision. "I appreciate it. Hopefully we'll all make it out of this alive. It will take at least a few days for Revaethan to gather his people and prepare the expedition. Until he's ready, I'd...

I was going to update my post as they spoiled new cards, but then I ran into the character limit, of course. Here's a new one, which I'll keep editing for a while... Wrath of God: Still a great card. Pales in comparison to Balance and these days it is outshined by Terminus, but it is strong...

It's a pity the cost is so exorbitant because of deliberately constrained supply. This set is looking like it would be a real boon to casual players if it were affordable. Casual players probably aren't inclined to pay more than triple the price per booster pack. Anyway, money aside, here are my...

The spoilers keep coming in. Gaea's Blessing, Mishra's Factory, Balance, Sensei's Divining Top, Control Magic, Animate Dead, and so on. This set has Karakas in it! Here's hoping for some more interesting commons, though...

... You really didn't watch the video, did you? :rolleyes: You should. It's funny.

I'd already preordered boxes from a couple of places back when only the first two cards were spoiled. I've been warned that some places might not honor their preorders because of how stupidly the supply is limited on this one, but we'll see. I won't be disappointed to get more, rather than less...

Oh, that's easy. Teleportation trap. :p

I've been out of town all week, but I'll finally get to this question... For now, I have no plans to "close" any of the available quests. Eventually, I do want some choice, but it would be more like where you choose between rivals and can't do a quest if you side with their enemies. Like, if...

All of the decks in that article would be viable in paper tournaments. There are some marked statistical differences between the decks that tend to show up in the two spaces, for various reasons. I don't play online at all (actually, I do have an MTGO account, but I haven't bothered to spend...

I was way overworked at the time I wrote my previous comment. For clarification, when I said "everyone around here" I meant in the Seattle area, as I live somewhere in it, not the CPA, for which that statement may not hold true. Regardless, I'd be up for some Canadian Highlander. Don't have...

I've known about Canadian Highlander for a long time and used to play the little-known predecessor to it, Seattle "150" Highlander. I like the point list concept, but everyone around here is into Commander instead, which I find to be a less interesting variant. I think it'd be cool if Canadian...

But the seed of discontent had been planted. And so Wizards of the Coast reprinted cards from the list of cards they'd never ever, not ever reprint, doing so in foil form, which they insisted on calling "premium" because it sounds better. "Behold," they proclaimed, "we have revised our reprint...

Magic was first published in 1993 and instantly became popular. It was a runaway success. Because WotC was still a very small company and lacked the resources they have today, print runs were limited, with each new set in 1993 and early 1994 having larger print runs as the company grew, but...

Someone posted this in a YouTube comment section of a video about how none of us are even going to be able to buy this set... Since I'm oh so helpful, I replied in extravagant detail. For posterity, this was my reply... If you're new to the game, I woudn't even worry about it. This is a set...

For the record, Lord Cael has agreed to give the group some privacy to discuss the situation. So you're currently having this argument in a room by yourselves, in case that was unclear. I mean, I am watching, with amusement, in case you were wondering.

Haven't had time to make much progress on this. Here's a tentative list of cards that I'm considering, sans manabase... Nightveil Specter Memory Lapse Codex Shredder Elemental Augury Dimir Machinations Scrib Nibblers Thought Hemorrhage Surgical Extraction Diabolic Edict Lim-Dul's Vault...

"The path was accessible the last time I traveled there. When the city was attacked, the attackers also blocked off the path. I still do not know the details. It is possible that we would have to fight our way in."

Lord Cael reacts suddenly when Throg admits to being from the Chaos Realm, but Revaethan restrains him with a hand on his shoulder and a grim look. Lord Cael composes himself. As Kelgar speaks, Lord Cael quizzically examines each member of the party. Eventually, he sighs and addresses you...
