The game really would get old without some of the things that we consider window dressings. Without even flavor text, the cards could sem too distant and uninvolved. It certainly would be a less interesting game if flavorful aspects like name art, flavor text took a hit.

I completly agree. This game would be VERY boring without pics and flavor txt and stuff. And i think that almost all of us can admit we got hooked on this game due to awesome pictures on the cards. I mean, just lookat these. I think that just the pics would get most people hooked. O yeah, the game is fun too.:p
Of course the art is important! (however obviously not the single most important part of the card, unless...) Just imagine some of Magic's iconic characters and its dragons... Jaya Ballard and Akroma (I use them because they are the freshest in my mind with TS) just wouldn't be the same if their arts sucked;), and which Shivan Dragon do you prefer and why... Mellissa Benson's (IMO...horrible...sorry...) cartoon, or the 9Ed's kickass (photo?).:D
I'd have to categorize myself as a Timmy/Spike/Vorthos; driven by competition, but love the flavor and shear power of things (such as dragons?:)...) and the storyline being all mashed together in TS makes my inner Vorthos all tingly inside...:D
Also, sorry I have been offline for so long, my internet company seems as though they are trying to get me to...anyway, my access was limited...:mad:
I really like Melissa Benson's Shivan dragon. A lot of that probalby is due to having played when that card came out. Also, Melissa really knew how to make things pop with color. Also, many of the original magic artists had a real style of their own in a way that artists just don't any more.
Just got done doing a banner for a bud of mine. I can't show it off yet because I want to let him have the first reveal of it. Once he does, I'll post it in my extendo.
When your parents (mom) randomly decide mtg is ruining your life (why? I don't know) and burn all of your cards.
Wow. I hope this is just a morbid hypothetical. What happened? You probably want to sit down and talk with her. Maybe she would be happy if you just got some more exercise, did more chores or studied more.
Your mum's really not a nice person if she does stuff like that without telling you about it first.
You need to have a loooong talk with her about property rights
Anyways, Wamyc, that banner I was looking for...
I'd like a banner with cropped pics of Draining Whelk, Mystic Snake and Simic Sky Swallower with the words "How about...Buy me pie?" on it.
I leave everything else up to you; whatever looks cool to you will almost undeniably also get my seal of approval .If a fourth art would look cooler, then Ohran Viper will be it, but only if it's really needed to polish it off.
So, Wamyc, is that banner request ok? Add in whatever patterns, colors etc that you think should be there. As long as anyone looking at that banner will immediately want to purchase pie for me, I like it
Wouldn't the fumes from burning magic cards have killed your mom?
Still hoping that's a hypothetical, Tiki.
As far as my prerelease, I happened to crack 2 avalanche riders in my pool. Shoulda ran hailstorm and I'd have been 4-0, but instead i only went 5-3. Also did 2HG and lost to triple cancel (Any one of the spells resolving would've been gg.) for a 2-1 record.
As for the new t2, I'm playing either a deck with Bob, or a RWU deck of sorts.

I'M OFFICIALLY LEGAL!!! w00t!!! (Legal drinking age is 19 in Canada).
I didn't go to the prerelease on the weekend. Hoping to make it to the release event in two weeks at the local shop...must get playset of Gemstone Mines...
My prerelease was G-R-E-A-T, in singles, I went 3-1 (huzzaa; product!), and the person across from me opened TWO BOGARDAN HELLKITES!!!:mad:
In 2HG, my team (Team Whoo! Time Spiral!) opened some amazing rares and Timeshifted cards (so many great rares, in fact, that I can't remember much anything else...or even some of them...), and Time Spiral is a kick-ass set for rare-drafting, what with the possibility of everyone (slim, but...:rolleyes: ) opening three rares (if you count Timeshifted cards...).

For example.

I'm a Johnny/Spike that loves good art or flavor text.
Yeah, it's weird.
At least I'm not a Timmy...
Imagine thinking ol' bobo was a good card...
Edit: Yeah, I can't spell. The card I mean is the Gruul leader.

Nice 'shopping. I think I may have a request for you soon?
And thank you. I can make no promises of how fast I can get your banner done, but I'd be glad to do it.
Edges slowly away...
I love slivers, and will definately play them lots.
What stuff will u guys play?
I'm looking forward to thallids, personally. I've rather seen enough of slivers.

@Wuffles: Sorry I didn't respond sooner about the banner request. I haven't been on mtgs for three days. But I'll get crackin' on it!
@avatar of light: yeah! drinkin' in canadia! Don't overdo it though. I had my first (legal) drinking in canada, too.
@tiki: I've actually had some cards burned on me. They're pretty tough to burn, strangely enough. It must be all the addictive ink.
