7th Edition Rumors...

[Killer Joe]

You betcha sweet bottom that thry're going to reprint: Whirling Catapult. <yuck-yuck> no, wait, Scrapheap. <Ha-ha>
Didn't Rosewater say something to effect of; they always are going to print crappy cards in a core set? How about Brown Ouphe or Cylopean Mummy. And how about Rainbow Vale? ooooooo (Rainbow Vale says: "I wanna be a good card!")
Now, Tradewind Rider and Wall of Blossoms, those are good cards to reprint!!!!!!!

D.Alexander Gregory was at UK Gencon signing cards. He told us he had just finished redoing the artwork for Cursed Scroll.

Make of that what you will.

 

[Gizmo]

Oh, yes, and the FOIL Vampiric Tutors that are currently going around (ie. around $400) have a very interesting feature - they have been the 7th Edition typeface and have been functionally reworded (the lifeloss is not a cost, but an effect).
So it looks like they`ll be back in 7th as well.

If they reprint replenish I will kill them. Not joking. Dead.

 

[Cateran Emperor]

Reprint Replenish for me = Never play Magic again with anyone I know who ever played in a tournament (if you know the type, their "casual" decks tend to be netdecks with "a few modifications". That equals 1 less Replenish/Morphling/Masticore and 1 more land )

 

[Hetemti]

I sure as hell hope D.A.G. doesn't change the picure too much...it's a classic! That, and I want my three VIIed scrolls to match my Tempest one.

 

[NeuroDeus]

The latest fresh from the oven rumors...

1) Lobotomy back...
2) No more Prodigal Sorcerer...Zuran Spellcaster instead
3) A white lord possibly Lord of Angels!

I can't wait for invasion!

 

[Hetemti]

Today someone saw me trying to teach a friend how to play Magic.

"Hey, do you have the new 'growth' card yet?"
"Which one?" I ask.
"I don't know...I saw it on TV awhile back."
"During wrestiling?"
"Yeah."
"No, that's the 7th edition Giant Growth. That set hasn't been released yet. By the way, was it black bordered (pointing out Radiant) or white bordered? (pointing out a 4th Ed. Shivan)" (Yep. My R/W deck.)
"eh...I don't know."

Good news: The new ads are working.
Bad news: They aren't remembering the important stuff!

 

[NeuroDeus]

White border... the black border is for the standalones...

[Duel]

All very good. nNot very exciting. When they reprint shadow, I'll be excited. oh, and I heard they were reprinting shock.

 

[Spiderman]

I think you'll be waiting a long time then, Duel, since shadow was probably just a Rath Cycle mechanic...
