Nov 30, 2017Tiro of Meletis posted a message on If You Can't Take Criticism of Jeremy Hambly, You're Part of the ProblemActually, this article is the entire problem. Neo-Nazis? Really? Way to buy into propaganda. And the Trump reference about "locker room talk" - way to push your political agendas on a card game forum and assume your opinions are the status quo, and the only right way to think. That's why everyone is sick of liberals and SJWs. Arrogance and ignorance. No one gives a damn bro, we're here for card games. Get over yourselves and off your righteous soapbox.Posted in: Articles

Sigh. Tell me about it. Not that she's a wizard but I've been waiting for a Tragic Poet reprint as well in the new border. Not even the Daxos deck had it in 2015. SMH!
Either way, despite having no interest in Dinosaurs (I'm in the minority) and lukewarm interest in Pirates, I actually like what I manage to see. I think Ixalan may actually be a pretty cool set, and I'm a sucker for exploration themes. It's why I loved Theros and original Zendikar. I think we're getting a similar feel here. Lannery Storm is such a cool name with sick art too. I bet she was caught in a tempest and surviving it made her HBIC.

Pissed that Teysir and Venser are so low.
Bringing death and harm to innocent people for personal gain is evil. Regardless of color affiliation. Lacking the capacity to care or see this makes the individual a sociopath/psychopath, which is no excuse in itself. We can argue the intricacies of morality all day - even murder can be justified in self-defense - so it's a context issue. The context here is personal gain. Therefore, Bolas is evil, just in the context of Black.
We've seen Toshi be all out for himself and for personal gain, doing some questionable things (but out of tact and reason) and still ultimately doing the greater good for all, while benefitting. Bolas is outright ending an entire world of people, bringing untold suffering to all who are innocent, and killing off beings devoted to protecting their children. There is no justifying this with any color philosophy or moral debate.
Thraxes could be in the Dragon one.
I suspect Crucius would be in a future product if they do a UR Artifact Legend that has been heavily requested. He'd be the Sphinx PW with artifact abilities like Crucuius of Etherium or something.
Angels could be one of the decks this year, and I'd expect a Serra Planeswalker, Feather, and the 4th Angel Sister
I don't think they're doing Krakens this year sadly, but perhaps they'll do tribal decks again and we'll get Arixmethes as the Eminence commander or something. He's at least a 12/12 (could be a 10/10 with monstrosity or something, but Kiora remarks he is at least as big as Kozilek). IDK whether it's better to get him in Return to Theros or in a Commander product?

10) Ashnod (5) - tie
10) The Raven Man (5) -tie
12) Tocasia (4) - tie
12) O-Kagachi (4)- tie
Looks like we're getting Taigam and O-Kagachi so far off this list. I see Windgrace as a potential here too.
I really want Human Wizards to be one of the decks and have Jenrik and Choryu - although they're FAR less popular than some of my other requests. If I could choose, I want Choryu to complete the Kamigawa cycle of characters without cards.
Bolas did ask Bontu to kill Hazoret, which she did not. Only cast a spell that weakened her to appear dead only to free her from it. She had also anticipated the fight itself, presumably planning to spare Hazoret all the while, but feigning loyalty as a means to survive. Perhaps she felt if Bolas could take enough from the world, if enough of his plan for it was fulfilled, at least she and the god Bontu would come to spare in their fight would survive?
Bolas.
New banned words for this thread:
Eldrazi - Go buy BFZ. No one else wants to anyway.
Devoid - Failed mechanics can be found there too.
Vampires - Go buy SOI/EMN.
Zombies: Go buy SOI, EMN, AMN, HOU and hell, INN, Dark Ascension and AVR at that. Wasn't long ago.
Artifacts/Colorless - Go buy KLD, AER
Elves - Go buy literally anything from the last 3 decades
Merfolk - Go buy the new Duel Deck
Goblin - See above
We get this product only once a damn year, so make your requests and expectations count.
