After last time being called a troll and liar you can imagine my reluctance to post on here again... You villains owe me all the hugs.
I know I am a sensitive person, so don't go calling me names ever again please or this will be my last spoiler.
If anyone was actually reading between the lines (there was a person) on my Sorin vs Tibutt posts (literally as I resized my font) they would have noticed that I knew I would be the international spoilerface for this also.
And yes, I have opened a few boxes, 3 Goyfs later I think I may save the rest in the attic for a rainy day.
I like the first art but not as Chandra.
She looks really realistic as a ginga in this pick but nothing like the versions I relate to.
She has also lost her Magic Steam Punk look, that's been more and more reduced.
I still and will probably only ever love her in her original rich red oily art.
Now she looks like there isnt an impulsive emotional bone in her body and she is more likely to to serve you coffee at a boutique.
You also mentioned that Death Grasp got new art, did it also receive some new flavor text or did the FNM Lingering Souls?
Could You please also post the new art of Death Grasp? Thanks in advance!
I am so sorry, I forgot that had new art and never put it with the others, i'm so sorry, very foolish of me.
Also, Lingering Souls has the same text as the other versions.
Here is the new art and flavour text:
Plate mail, the skin of the chest, the rib cage, the heart-all useless against the mage who can reach directly for the soul.
The image looks like a female blasting a big knight in the chest.
Thank you so much Poem! You're so awesome that i want to write your name about you!
EDIT: is it just me or does the spirit in the Spectral Proc alt-art have a "Joker-esque" grin? Im sure it's just the blurriness but i seriously can't unsee it now... 0_o

Browbeat:

Blightning:
In the spirit of inquiry, Tibalt applied a battery of agony spells. They yielded nothing on the vampire's whereabouts, but the screams were reward enough.
So lets say someone plays tournaments competitively but generally plays casually with their friends because that same deck they're using for the PTQ got boring?
What about other formats like Commander which are generally casual but could be played competitively.
Why not competitively playing a Duel Deck?
To me, an event deck is a supplement to those wanting competitive cards.
Confirmed Thragtusk = everyone buys it. The rest of the Simic one is poose but that guy really needed a forth Thraggy for his Tourny deck.
Should purchase trends and or monies just be separated from the definition of casual?
Maybe they forgot?
Maybe one unfoiled FNM was enough?
I wonder how clever these product construction peoples are?
I'm pototes on your side, they should have included DCI Hellspark.
Landrid, Derenathor, wtwlf123, Dontrike, Maladikt - warm fuzzies and gifts for you all.
If I have it in my power to help I will, niceness goes a long way with me.
The Mortify is good art, some guy's face/body essence-flayflay.
The Blightning has Tibalts fingers round that dudes head. (Stupid artifact cam.)
He is not a very nice guy, I won't be giving him anything except cross looks.
I am sorry if this topic has already come up or that it is in the wrong section.
It is a subject quite close to my heart. (As you can see from my sig)
I would like to open a polite discussion about what 'casual players' are in hopes that it will form a clear culture on this forum.
I use the word "clear" because a lot of people seem to have a different idea of what a casual player is.
There is a large portion of people that consider a casual player a fool or a bad player.
There are other people that consider them less competitive, others that see certain products as designed solely for them and no one else, or casual players not being capable of playing tournaments because of that.
I would like to see a turn in the perspective to casual players being just "Less competitive".
Far too often I witness people berating forum members for defending a product/card because it's not the best version of it. I want this to stop.
I take exception to peoples comments about Duel Decks and Event Decks being for casuals as though casuals are fools. Sure, these products can be bad sometimes, but that doesn't mean a someone should judge the owner of such product as being a bad magic player.
So, your thoughts:
What is a casual player in magic?
What you would like it to mean?
What you think it currently means to other people, on this forum, in your town, or the world?
About products?
About you?
The future?
Do we know the spectral procession alternate art yet?
Yes.
I could take photos of each of them.
Fuzzy ones of course, don't want to give you guys the illusion that I may actually have "real" copies of this.

BANANAAAA!
I like that. For RRR

Go home art director, you're drunk.
A great enchantment can be made in any colour.
I hope she will Twincast my Time warps.

Write your name about me?
The spirit is not grinning, it looks dead.

Hellspark is the normal Shards one.
Brow beat looks like a South Park Moses Tibalt cloud yelling at some wee fellow on a rocky outcrop.
