Another card from Rhinoseeker discovered...

[Notepad]

I don't know where this came from, but it was just there, at my door, asking if I had any razor blades or bottles of Tylenol. I turned it down, so it went to play in traffic.

But I did get a snapshot of it. Apparently its one of Rhinoseeker's buddies. Or was, I should say...

Power to the world...

"Blue critters committing suicide!"

 

[Notepad]

The more blue critters that take their own lives, the less removal spells wasted by the other colors. That's what my grandma always said.

Of course, she became a lesbian on her 64th birthday, but that's besides the point.

 

[Oversoul]

I think that's a hoax. The Spiketail Hatching should obviously not be from 8th edition if it were real...

 

[Notepad]

Oh, but this is no ordinary Drake! Its a card who's gone to therapy and now freely admits to feelings of depression and suicidal tendancies...

...just like every card printed with the new look.

 

[train]

Maybe it's suicidal because of 8th's look... seriously...

 

[Captain Caveman]

I think you've got your decks mixed up. That card is from:
Whaleseeker not Rhinoseeker.

 

[Rooser]

Whaleseeker? So that's what I've been building all these years!

 

[Notepad]

Whaleseeker is a joke. It replaced the Crash of Rhinos with Narwhal. What kind of deck is that?

RHinoseeker all the way. ANd yes, 8E Spiketails go in both variants.

Seffy,

I think I spotted a corralation between letters that are twelve and a half words from each Question Mark in Maro's columns. The word 'Elf' appears twice. Also, the letter right after the twelve-and-a half point show elf in some form or another about half the time. In the twelve-and-a-half mark also appear the words on or no. the latest twelve-and-a-half words away seemed to be signed by 'tess.'

Mabe she's MaRo's secretary/editor/ghostwrighter?

 

[train]

It's a sign elves will win worlds...

 

[Notepad]

I find all this elf stuff scary. I want no talk of it. No talk at all...

The secret society will take care of this revelation from this point on.

*Junkyard brings the togas and booze*
*Mad Dog brings a bunch of college girls*
*Sefro wonders what the hell happened to the secret strike force*

 

[train]

SeFRo - you don't think Blue should win worlds again do you?...

 

[Notepad]

Hmm, you are right. Blue needs to be destroyed. THis is a mission for the secret strike force...

*Mad Dog films a porn video right in the front lawn*
*Junkyard advertises more shoots coming this evening*
*Sefro lowers his head in shame and walks away*

Looks like blue is gonna win again, guys.

 

[Rooser]

Blue won't win worlds. It's simply not the strongest color in Type 2 right now.

 

[Notepad]

Blue is always the strongest color.

The ability to draw everything, counter anything, bounc anything...it just adds up to one hella hard-to-kill package. The stuff would all have to be sorcery or high-costed to change that.

Or, just give bounce to green, countering to black, and drawing to red. Then stuff all the crappy overcosted creatures and Portal countermagic and bounce into blue. There you have it.

Oh, and just eliminate white from the color wheel altogether and replace it with jasmine AND brown, which I always get mana for when I tap my Mana Birds anyway.

 

[train]

I have to argue "Blue won't win worlds"...

Affinity is extremely strong - and tweaked properly - is unstoppable...

Blue will be in the deck that wins worlds - I'll say it right now...

though I don't like it...

 

[Rooser]

Thing is, the Ravager Affinity decks don't gots no blue in 'em.

 

[train]

Don't think it'll win worlds either...

It's test will be Regionals... and there's a lot going against it already - specifically a W/G, or B/G build...

The B/G seems inherently stronger with banishing, and disruption... recurring disruption...
