Well, there are still Squelch and Trickbind. (Props to Psi for reminding me of the former)
:sweat:....That's not that funny!
* Psi would like to point out that the only reason I reminded AI of Spuelch is because of my lack of good Eternal cards nowadays and the need for a EDH deck :sweat:.
@AI: sure, fetches have some gratuitous shuffling involved. But brainstorm is like the longest spell to resolve ever. And Top is like a brainstorm every turn. Or more. It's far more annoying to wait through.
Based on my friends' calculations, you'll probably get your money back and possibly even turn a profit, especially if you preorder and get a promo Day of Judgment.
well i'm actually using store credit for atleast one box so i'm deffinetly making my money back
I doubt I will, but once you get your product, go ahead and post a haves list for us to pore over.
ok boss
On another note the number 2 ranked player in my area is a close friend, and has decided to sell me his collection for a low sum of 500.00 dollars. this would include such decks as bant, 5cc and gobs of extended and legacy goodies. foil mutavaults, reflecting pools and countless staples from as for back legends. I would have to state that it's the best collection of black cards in the state of colorado

It's actually hilarious. Squelch is a two-for-one as well as a weird-sounding word!

Wait... why am I putting top in my cube?
I understand that any given Sensei's Divining Top is more obnoxious than any given fetchland. But when a player has access to 12 or more fetches, things can get a little ridiculous...
Also, I'll wait till more or less full spoiler of cards is revealed to count the percentage of getting more money out of 36 boosters then you've spent on them.
I did this kind of counting before and it helped me quite good in Conflux, which also was a relatively expensive set. Let's see... Oh, I hope they have a good name for an UR-fetchland. Also, I hope to open one foil. -_-
And I need 3 more planeswalkers for my collection to be complete now...
I'm almost positive that you'll get your money's worth with Zendikar boxes without even knowing all of the rares in the set.
Foil Izzet fetch would be the best ever!
So, to drag up a topic from three pages or so ago:
I'm actually pretty impressed by their naming convention for Arid Mesa. Although all the cards with 'mesa' in their name have been white, the word itself refers to a landscape feature that reminds me more of a mountain than a plain. Similarly, arid feels like it could be referring to either red or white.
But what on earth are they going to name some of the other color combos? W/B seems especially difficult to me, considering the almost completely incompatible nature of their signature landscapes. Maybe some sort of Moor?

I like the name Arid Mesa too. I'm not too keen on the artwork tough. Seems really bland to me. Although, so do the onslaught fetches.
I'm interested to see the names and art of the other ones as well.

Whoah, there's a pokemon clan? When did this happen?
Sorry for the interruption here guys about your fetch land conversations, but any comments about this potential ally/enemy here? Psi, I thought you were part of the Izzet? Ack! Once again, I fail at current events.

Indeed there is!
I haven't been a member of the Izzet for a little over a week. I left to make a Pokemon clan with Daftmouse and others. But that doesn't mean you will be seeing any less of me around here.

I don't suspect there is a grudge or any hard feelings between the two clans. However, the idea of a one sided rivalry seems possible. I mean, we won't lose to them in CotY but they certainly will try.

Dude, I really REALLY like Pokemon. You've just made the matter difficult for me to decide as to whether or not I should join your clan or stay in the Izzet.

So, uh, yeah, there wouldn't be any hard feelings then if I joined with Psi?

I think the artwork is excellent. When I first saw it, I thought that the artist must have chopped up the canvas and rearranged the pieces because the mountains looked so strange. Any piece of Magic art that makes you do a double or even triple take is awesome.

So kind of like how the Called treated us, only for us to beat them in 2008? We may want to keep these guys on our radar...

We're not [The Family] here. If you wanna leave, GTFO.
Seriously, it's up to you. What does your heart tell you?
Our fearless leader doesn't seem to mind a high member turn-over rate.
I more or less agree with Rocker, but would encourage you to stay with us because we like your page-long rants.
Good shizz. I still need to get a Gaea's Cradle, Survival of the Fittest, and maybe a Savannah for my Captain Sisay EDH deck. My wallet is going to get wrecked for sure this upcoming week or so.
I really like the (admittedly speculative) names for the new fetchlands. they seem to capture the ambivalence of the cards, as if they are indeterminate states waiting to be forced into actuality by some Heisenbergian electron thrust... also known as paying one life and sacing.
@ Ivaldi: Yeah, we need more rants. The nature of the universe hasn't been expounded recently.
@buying duals: at least you don't have to buy a set of the new fectches AND three ABU duals for your cube. Stupid, necessary symmetry!

nice work
credit goes to purpled for my sig
In the end the enemy fetches feel like just another money-grabbing ploy.
Got there!

You got Portal'd, for one.
Do you wish to rejoin the clan, or are you just stopping by to say hi/freak out about Zendikar? :cool::uhh::ria:

Kinda disappointed by unstable, red gets too much of a bad rap in my opinion. I like the geyser bit though, as a good geological feature.

I'm indifferent about the name. I'm kind of excited to see how the art for this one will turn out though. I have a feeling its going to be awesome.

Speculated off of what? Is it just a random guess?

That would be like Pau Gasol begging to be traded to the Sacramento Kings for the same pay because he thinks purple looks better with black.
