I would hope for a blue bounty hunter legend, he uses his vast amounts of information to his advantage.
That sounds sherlock holmes esque to me more than it does van helsing. Van Helsing would be both blue and white from what ive read on his wikipedia entry. He's both a doctor, and a lawyer, and is described as a man with "The truest of hearts". He also fights for the advancement of science which is cool.
He would probably have vigilance - being described as having "iron nerve, a temper of the ice-brook, and indomitable resolution".
I would also expect a T: Destroy target vampire ability. I really want them to make a van helsing inspired card now. That would be awesome.
Also, with all of those Licids posted, i really think they should make a few more, they were a good design from what i read. Definitely with the haste one. Haste enchants always suck because they are a waste after the first turn. Dominating Licid is also one of the best cards ive never seen before. I want 4.
EDIT: I forgot the topic for the thread and went off on a tangent. Sorry. I really hope that there is some news before 5:30 Cali time though, thats a lot of waiting, through my whole day at work. I've been looking forward to getting spoilers at work today all week long.
Also, it's 9am. Where's my magic spoilers? I'm impatient.
I think now is a good time to remind people that we likely won't get more than teasers/art/theme and at best one new card (and at that, likely the one for the FTV set). PAX is when we see some big reveals, but before that it's a rarity. Remember pre-release isn't for another two full months.
Card designs removed. Warning given. Card design belongs in the Custom Card Creation forum.
Seriously? Two warnings given for this? These things were totally appropriate given the conversation. Are the rules really this strict? No flexibility at all?
Where did they find the Brown Shirts?

Part of the beauty of this site is that it's heavily moderated. Keeps discussions where they belong. It wouldn't be the first time someone posted a card they "created" on the Rumor Mill and suddenly the entire internet is all over "THIS HOT NEW CARD FROM ISD!!!!!! OMG!!!!! IT'S BROKEN!!!!"
Sure people hate being told what to say where, but there are a ga-zillion other sites out there anyone can go if they feel that way.
Before it goes any further: if you want to discuss moderation, this is not the place to do so. Individual cases should be taken up with the moderator in question via their helpdesk or PM, and broader discussion belongs in Community Issues.
Didn't edit or use Mod text, just used red font, italics and bold. Like this. Is this combination of font options monopolized by Mods only? If so, why can I even use this combo? Now shouldn't I have this Infraction removed too?

Did we get a spoiled card last time, or a spoiled reprint for SOM?
My understanding is that last time (before SoM) they spoiled Sword of Body and Mind, previewing it before it made its entrance into standard with Scars.
Hello, I'm from Chile new on this forum, I'm following this but no one as stated if this has started yet? No one with a blackberry or smartphone on the comic con itself to update in real time????
Comic Con has only really started to have spoils within the last couple years, so there is no real par for the course. They literally could give us anything, but being so far away from set launch, it's likely only going to be teasers like art and 1-2 cards to whet our appitite. GenCon used to do the same thing, but now PAX and SDCC have taken the place.
@Joan... it'll be 5:30 California time... so about 5 hours from now.

Thanks, will be waiting here at my desk then it's 13:40 in here.
"Yup, and most of them are civil, welcoming places where the community largely moderates itself by example.
I wonder why draconian moderation doesn't seem to be working for Salvation?"
^ 100% this. Because taking away someone's right to free speech is about the most a-hole-ish thing you can do, internet or not.
The post directly below the one you've quoted warns quite clearly to take any discussion of moderation policy to the Community Issues section. Infraction given.
Then, on Saturday, Legend of Korra panel! It is a good week to be a nerd!

It's still 8.25 hours until it happens so you should probably go to bed.
WUBRGPauper Battle BoxWUBRG ... and why I am not a fan of Wayne Reynolds' Illustrations.
I mean, I guess there is precedent, but there might not be any spoiled card at all. Do we know for sure they're spoiling a card?
