i've been trying to figure out what to post... what to say...
and i've got nothing.
i just keep thinking about the moment when eddie and benoit were hugging in the center of the ring at WM... everything was perfect for those two guys right then and there...
i'm wondering... i am on the magic advisory panel... doesanybody know how many people are on the panel? any idea howmany Salvation members are on the panel?
i can't decide where i stand on this one... the collector in me wants to buys 3 boxes... but the player in me has no inclination to crack a single pack... i had already quit M:TG when ice ages came out, so the set holds no real history for me... i guess it'll come down to the cards, and the way they will interact with the T2 world that i currently live in.
i had a really good time. played in the boston mass (usa) prerelease and i did fair during the first flight (didn't win any packs, but i feel like it gave me a good overview of the set synergy...) - i was playing green / black... nasty removal, and everything just seemed to fit together in so many different ways. good stuff.
second flight i got to blast a kid who had been calling all kinds of people "scrubs" (we was bragging about being a pro tour player and i completely OWNED him. ihad an answer for everything that he did) all through the day... it was brutal. i was running red / white with tons of removal and flyers that brought first strike and vigilance to the party. so after sweeping the game with him i was at 3 - 0 - 0
the last round was pretty much a mirror match, but my opponent had splashed a little green.it was very nice.isqueaked out the first victory, and then he totally outplayed me on the second game and it ended a draw.
so i endedup winning packs, and that's always cool. i also just had a ton of fun with the new set. really fun, really cool.
So to look at this picture I have to squint to blur out all the compression and aliasing artifacts (scaling factor of 1.25 is bad). Sure it looks kewl, but I never manage to keep a WotC desktop image on all that long as the artifacts piss me off. Which is a shame as alot of the art is soo good.
my computer is set on 1680x1050, so i end up with the same issues... until i fire up photoshop and take matter in my own hands...

doesn't it show that nothing is degenerate at this point, and that the game is pretty healthy on allofthe different formats?
or am i just supposed to complain about how much WOTC sucks, no matter what the actual announcement is?
i don't get people sometimes...

holy crap what a great idea... i wonder if we could get an image library for the sets for the iPods with photo capabilities...
great work, and uh... good luck with Rita barreling your way.

and i second the props on the Erayo. it was an ugly card in that format when it hit the table (then you add in the rule of law...)
