"Mythic" Rare = BAD! This was the biggest point when someone was thinking about switching games - Magic not having them was a positive.
Quote MaRo all you want, the only reason MR's are going to be reasonable is because there won't be as many cards in the sets. Less overall rares = higher % chance to actually pull the one you want.
And they better actually stick to their premise of MR's not being game-breaking.
I'm of the opinion that WotC should NOT keyword as much. A person thinking of becoming a new player has a big enough learning curve as it is. Every keyword is one more thing to learn in order to "speak the language" and too many become a barrier to the friendliness of the game itself.
I personally would love to see Nalathni Dragon make an appearance. Arena showed up Timeshifted, and it'd be cool to see another limited edition card come back to say hi.
Out of a sealed case direct from WotC plus a box from another source I have yet to pull EVEN ONE Fulminator Mage. And it took me until the box from another source to get a Vexing Shusher.
I just cracked a case of Lorwyn for my store, and pulled a total of 2 Thoughtseize's.
I did notice that 3 of the 6 boxes had the foil and rare below the insert, and 3 had the insert on the bottom. The Thoughtseize's were both in boxes that had the rare below the insert. It might be interesting to track and see if there's a new version of A and B boxes.
And on my I hate West in every post theme, he saw HRG when she stepped in front of West's car after HRG gave her the keys to the Nissan. So maybe thats the reason he immediately clued in on Claire and started stalking her? Hopefully HRG or the Haitian notices him and puts some smack down.
We don't know just when West was taken - it could have been when he was Micah's age. If that's the case, then HRG probably wouldn't recognize him at all. West's probably been in hiding/running, much like the Bennets.
The names have been put in the Name & Number Crunch, where they belong - with my guesses as to which colours they go in. Without more details, there's no value in putting them into the spoiler as well.
The posters say "The Eight Tribes Clash Like Never Before" - so can I get pictures of the other five posters, please?
A friend of mine runs a casual Relentless Rats deck. He is still fine tuning it, but it is Black/Green and includes Bloodbond March so that if anyone does decide to clear the board all he needs to do is play another rat and they all come back (making them truely . . . relentless). His deck isn't type II due to other things included, but it's pretty cool).
If he uses Extirpate, the combo doesn't work. Extirpate RFGs the rats, Bloodbond March only gets them back from the grave.

The sleeves design is called "Cinder", the deckbox is "Cinder/Light", and the playmat is "Gwyllion".
see response #22.

Sorry, those three are all I received.
