    How about the Avatars from prophecy? woe, might, hope, fury and will. With some new art too. Maybe give will an ability since it is the weakest of the avatars. I'm kinda susprised it didn't get anything.


    god i hope not. the only ones that are any good are woe and fury (and fury is up for debate). a new cycle of them with useful abilities across the spectrum might be neat though. like as titan replacements.

    i like the new frames. been playing a long time, and the new frames make the cards easier to read, and look much less cramped.

    Quote from Barinellos
    I certainly can. They're clearly cast in the same mold of each other. The Obliterator is also quite apparently more powerful than the Negator.
    This is like saying you can't compare the Darksteel Colossus with the Blightsteel Colossus.


    agreed. the obliterator is a more advanced form of the negator. you have to remember that davvol pretty much engineered negators to adapt and change with each new defeated rendition. the obliterator is the newest, most advanced, rendition.

    none. because i'm tired of dealing with creatures turning sideways to win.

  • posted a message on What would you rather see in 2013? (video game related)
    i'm still longing for a neverwinter nights esque rpg set in the magic universe, using spells and creatures and worlds found within the game, but not forcing any of aspects of the card game into its gameplay, as in no deck building, no card collecting. just the spells and things being related to the cards and nothing else.

  • posted a message on Players that put cards in their trade binders that they have no intentions of trading
    everything in my binders is for trade, but just because i won't trade my tropical island for your pile of standard junk doesn't mean its not for trade. it means its not for trade for that pile of junk. the right trade offer comes along and that thing is gone. until then, its no thanks, i really don't want to trade it. its a polite way of telling you that you havne't offered anything enticing.

    just because fair value is offered doesn't mean that its a fair trade and i'm going to rush right into it.

    edit: when 5th edition had just been released, there was a guy that came into the shop and offered me $5, a pack of fifth, and a condom. it was a fair value trade (at the time) but i declined, he kept insisting. over and over and got more and more angry when i didn't accept to the point where the owner had to ask him to leave. i rarely take my binder anywhere these days, because attitudes haven't really changed since then. theres always that one guy that wants everything you have but won't offer anything worth trading for and gets mad when you won't give him what he wants.

    Quote from Thunderchild
    The summer multiplayer product could be anything from another round of Commander precons with legends from the past brought up to the modern power level to Vanguard 2.0 (same concept as the old Vanguard cards, new implementation) to a new Un- set.


    its planechase 2.

  • posted a message on [AVR] Legendary Matters?
    every time theres characters mentioned in flavor text, that don't get their own card, this thread pops up.

    pretty sure its not going to happen. theres always a percentage of characters that never get a card, at least right away, thats part of making the set flavorful. the other thing is that maro has made it pretty well known that he doesn't like the legend rule so a set focusing or even reinforcing it, isn't all that likely unless theres some kind of major change to it. after the mess that was kamigawa they're most likely really reluctant to do anything where legends matter ever again.

  • posted a message on What Not to Do in EDH
    Quote from Jivanmukta
    Guess what. EDH is Vintage with 99 cards and it probably always will be. That's what happens with (nearly) the entire card pool at your disposal.

    Explain the difference between a rules guru and lawyer. Is there some slight thing I'm missing?


    ...is that why the majority of the cards that are broken in vintage are banned in edh too?

    weird how that works isn't it?

    You're paying to play in the event.

    In a constructed event, you pay money just to enter the tournament even through you are bringing your own deck to play with in the event. It's the same thing.

    If you don't like paying to enter tournaments, Magic isn't for you.


    then the entry fee should not be the cost of the boosters. sorry man.

    in a constructed event you're paying for prize support and space.

    in a draft event you're paying for your 3 boosters, plus prize support, and space, and thats why its generally a few bucks more than the cost of the 3 boosters. if you're going to redraft the rares. the cost should only be for the space and prize support (if any)

  • posted a message on What's with the "erotic" sleeves/playmats/alters, people?
    Quote from Prophet Ven-Dahl
    Your argument falls apart when you realize that even if you don't do the act directly, having CP is still a crime. You are still called a pedophile if they find CP on your computer.

    AGAIN, WILL SOMEONE JUST EXPLAIN WHY YOU FEEL THE NEED TO USE THESE SLEEVES/ MATTS? THE ONLY RESPONSES ARE WHY IT SHOULDN'T MATTER THAT YOUR USING THEM. THE ANSWERS TO THESE QUESTIONS ARE NOT THE SAME.


    and both arguments fall apart if we don't have a clear definition of what child pornography is.

    as for your actual question. because they want to? why would anyone use green sleeves when they could use red, or blue, or black, or ones with dragons on them, or dragons riding unicorns, or my little ponies, or godzilla driving a school bus. its their choice, not yours, if they like it and you don't, well too bad.

    if they want to use those sleeves and mats, and they're not illegal to use simply socially frowned upon, who are you to get all uppity over that? something like a lolli, or a scantily clad woman/man on your playmat isn't legally defined as pornography, so whatever your personal views on the matter are... well too bad. you keep getting your answer and ignoring it, so why are you still asking your question? repeating it over and over won't make you right, justified, or change anyone else's mind to match your own if they don't already.

    as for what came up in the beginning as to why wotc does nothing about it... they aren't required to. no laws are broken and they are not the police anyway. if you really have a problem with the sleeves/playmat that someone is using, be an adult and ask them if they have a different one they could use for the match because you find them offensive if they don't... you either quit the match or stick it out and talk to the TO about it later. i see the 'i'd punch them in the face' statements came up again. good job community way to be a shining example of how fabulous the magic community is at accepting different ideas in a calm and rational manner yet again, a++ all around to those guys.


    i am in no way for child pornography, and i don't use any of those sleeves or playmats. i find them annoying, not really offensive, just annoying. theres enough distractions on the field already we don't need art on sleeves and playmats. i don't much like people telling me what i can and can't do just because they don't personally agree with it though.
