Quote from Crimson
Ultimate should be : Reveal cards from the top of your library until you reveal 3 sorcery or instant cards. You may cast them without paying their costs EOT

Seems pretty tame for an ultimate considering the spells are random. I could see searching your library for 3 sorcery or instant cards and playing them without paying their mana costs though.

Ral Zarek is pretty much confirmed for the expansion, so what is everyone expecting/hoping for out of him?

Geistflame kills it. Done, fixed.

Simic already has several ways to move +1/+1 counters around on command.

Yeah, it works exactly like Urborg.

That's what I thought, but it seemed too good to be true.

Can all of your lands produce mana of the chosen land type in addition to their actual type with Realmwright or what?

Maybe they'll do something other than a full block revisiting Dominaria? Like maybe a 'From The Vault' release? Or maybe M14 will be nothing but Dominaria? I can't imagine them not commemorating Dominaria on the 20th anniversary in some way.

When RTR dropped there was a guy playing at the LCS who had no sleeves on his cards and used a rubberbands on his decks and spent 5 minutes ranting about what a waste of money sleeves and deckboxes are. When a guy pointed out that his cards from the Innistrad block were already practically destroyed he started screaming "Liar! You are a LIAR!"

The Eldrazi story being left wide open and Sorin leaving for Innistrad has struck me as odd...

When cumulative upkeep was first introduced I thought it was the dumbest thing ever. Now that it's been gone for a good while I think it was the dumbest thing ever.

Quote from CatParty
I really liked the Mirage Block, but I guess that's Dominaria? I liked the laid back, whimsical nature of Weatherlight, the expansion, sort of felt like a saturday morning cartoon. I'm like something like that again.

Yeah, Mirage and Weatherlight are both Dominaria.

Let's all move beyond the borderline-silly ~~retarded~~ "Magic makes people racist" discussion now that it's been thoroughly rejected, shall we?

Please avoid using 'retarded' in this manner. Warning issued.

Quote from Galgamation
Well this will be my last response to you broheim.

You still don't seem to understand the fact that WHEN THE BLOCK WAS ACTUALLY IN ROTATION, people would come across names they could not say, proceed to say them in some asian accent and then mass asian bashing would begin. This happened frequently, almost everywhere I drafted this block.

The set was racist because it overemphasized all this asian culture stuff and people felt compelled to make fun of it. Just because EDH guys love samurai's and ninja's now does not mean that people who actually drafted the block thought the same way.

If you don't understand that making an asian block can (and did) result in racism when its exposed to the super mature magic crowd, then I simply can't help you.

So if some white people hear rap music and start saying racist things about black people, does that make rap music racist against black people?
Do you see why your logic is not logical at all?

Quote from LordOwlingtonIII
How Freudian.

So you're calling me racist? How mature.

Quote from LordOwlingtonIII
But the block was racist: In Kamigawa, ALL the foxes are white. ALL the rats are Black, ALL the snakes are green, ALL the moonfolk were blue, and ALL the goblins were red!

So it's racist against fictional creatures and wildlife?

Did I mention how this is objectively stupid?

Quote from Galgamation

The block was racist. Straight up, in many cases, obviously so.

It overplayed asian stereotypes, and many people felt like it was poking fun at asian culture. Along with the unpronounceable names, the block encouraged more racist discussions at draft tables/LGSs then any other magic block I have ever drafted, not close. My LGS store owner had to tell people to tone it down multiple times throughout this block because the discussions got so bad.

So the cards were racist because some of the people playing the game were racist? And what Asian stereotypes or aspects of Asian culture were being made fun of? Ninjas and samurai were prominent and celebrated in the block, not lampooned. And those are aspects of Japanese culture that are still popular and celebrated to this day. So where id the racism? Unpronounceable names? How is that unique to Kamigawa? And how is it racist? Are Tolkien novels racist to Nordic and Celtic culture because the names in his novels are unpronounceable?

Seriously, calling that black racist is objectively stupid.
