To Arms!

[Darth Dunk]

Count me in, guys. Nothing beats a good burnin' and no-one burns like Jaya. Fiery Pyro Ladies rule, and that aint gonna change with the loss of a little name at the end of a quote. We know who said it. She knows who said it. Someday Ms Ballard will stop wandering and come down upon the heathen at WotC who defiled her. Then who'll be laughing. Ha ha ha haaaa... Well, she will. Duh.

 

[Zadok001]

Oh, now THAT pisses me off! Jaya rules! I wanna see MORE Jaya, not LESS!

Boo!

 

[FoundationOfRancor]

Have you guys ever checked her out on the back of "The Eternal Ice" ?

 

[Duel]

As THE ORIGINAL Jaya fan (ask my friends, I love the quotes) I present her best work for your edification:

"Anybody want some.... toast?" - Pyrokinesis

"Walls? What walls?" - Word of Blasting

"If you'd been there, you would've run from that deer too!" - Panic

"And I say North is where I want it to be!" - Mystic Compass

"Eenie meenie mienie moe.... Oh, why not all of them!" - Meteor Shower

"Overkill? What is this, a game of kick-the-ouphe?" - Lava Burst

And, of course, my favorite

"Some have said there is no subtelty to destruction. You know what? They're dead!" - Inferno


SAVE JAYA!

 

[Purple_jester]

Jaya is one of THE Magic personalities. She's even more solid than Urza, in my opinion. Her Ice Age quotes were the bane of every blue mage. I should know. I AM a blue mage!

And yet getting her quotes ascribed to some "wandering mage" is heresy! Is this the start of a trend? Are all quotes designed to fall to this anonymity? I can see it now:

"I think, therefore, I am!" --- absent-minded professor

"Come, Watson! The game's afoot." --- eager detective

"I am the greatest!" --- loud-mouthed boxer

Someone stop the madness!

  I put a question mark by your name if you didn't explicitly say you wanted on the petition.
  
  Hetemti: In case you get pissed off, I promise never to do this again.

 

[rakso]

Count me in!

Jeez, Jaya Ballard had the only witty flavor text in Ice Age! (Excluding Lhurgoyf.)

 

[Hetemti]

TICM: No need for the "?" marks. It's in my original post: "All who want Jaya to be returned to our flavor texts post here." Also, I don't mind your listing the signees. Anything for Le Bump.

Also, any ideas as for who to send this to? I've been scoutin' around for some emails of those who'd be interested. I figured DG might be interested, especially since little news has crossed his wire lately. Sir Rosewater's gonna get a copy...I hear he is/was/shall-be on the flavor text committees. Anyone know any other important email addys? If so, lem'me know. Maybe if we get a bunch of signees, we could ask some PT guys to sign up. (Kastle, Price, Flores, Pikula, John "Friggin" Rizzo...)

 

[Landkiller]

Why not? Add me to the petition. Wandering Mage is a stupid card anyway.

 

[Zadok001]

Eh, take that question mark off the end of my name. I'm in.

 

[Firestorm]

I'm like 23. Long live discrimination against blue!

 

[Duel]

You know, I'm a blue mage, and Jaya Ballard was, for me, the only reason I started playing red.

 

[Hawaiian mage]

Ah! Ha! Duel forgot one of Jaya's quotes!

"Oh no, not YOU again!"
-That 3/3 ape thign with 1G regeneration

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Ha....

 

[Duel]

Im totally in

 

[TeamRegime.com]

To my best Magic knowledge..which is pretty lame as of right now, I HAVE NO CLUE to what ya'll are talking about...Im ASSuMEing it's a flavor text character that is now DOA or MIA?? If so,....I wouldnt worry too much..WOTC always likes to shift flavor text back and forth and I never thought Id see URZA again after Antiquities...but ALAS...who knows..Maybe an expansion set will be called by said name...

[Hetemti]

You don't PLAY Magic, do you? Avant, and quit mine sight, heretic.

 

[Duel]

Jaya was a storyline character who provided the best quotes red ever got.

 

[Necrosavant]

It's a shame that we never got another story with Jaya.
Ok, she became a PlanesWalker. What then?
Me want more Jaya!!!

 

[Baron Sengir]

Not only do I think Jaya Ballard should be reinstated, I think WotC should make a card of her.

Hell, they did one of Jolrael, I thought she was a planeswalker too.

I remain
