Yeah, it doesn't feel very mythic. Hell, the Selesnya guild-mage made 3/3s for a similar cost and that was an uncommon.

While we're on languages, here's my collection of every language Magic has ever been printed in:  I'm still looking for a foil Portugese Graceful Adept, a Korean Serra Angel, and a Russian Golgari Grave-Troll.

I'm just curious how deep it goes. No there is nothing subtle. Falkenrath Noble and Falkenrath Aristocrat are translated to the exact same name in Japanese. Same issue in chinese:   Because y'know, Noble and Aristocrat basically have the same meaning when you're looking at localizing in other languages.

Was there errata or something about it? Run a 52 card deck by discarding one of them and Surgical Extracting it. (I get this is not good, but it's a thing you could do!) Sever the Bloodline one and exile both!

That's what Ad Nauseum means as well. Maybe it's just not a commonly used Latin phrase in German-speaking countries?

They'd use "Bis zum Kotzen" if they really mean puking. Like whydirt said, it is just a literal translation of a latin phrase that doesn't make sense in German.

Is there a place that has an up to date spoiler with sources for everything that's been spoiled so far? I'm seeing stuff that I'm interested in picking up foils of like Altar of Dementia and Reflecting Pool listed on spoiler sites but can't find anything to confirm that they are actually a thing.

For whatever reason, the MTGS spoiler only includes new cards and not reprints. Try the Mythicspoiler site for the whole set list: http://mythicspoiler.com/cpy/index.html

Rollie the Guar posted:German Hammer of Purphoros makes 3/3 Golem-verzauberungsartefaktkreaturspielstein. Quoting Family Guy is blasphemous, but all I can hear in my head right now: If you're going to be in the Los Angeles area und would like tickets to Hitler, call 213-DU WERDEST EINE KRANKENSCHWESTER BRAUCHEN! In all seriousness, this is my next custom token project. I need to find the angriest Golem art in existence.

Snacksmaniac posted:Is there a rhyme or reason for the particular cards in languages? I think I might have a serra too. Just cards I like, or have good memories of. Shelkin Brownie is one of the worst cards ever, and it's from Legends, which was printed more in Italian than in English. I want the Portuguese Graceful Adept because it's misprinted with some English text, so it would make a nice 9th foil. I want a 4th edition Korean Serra Angel because that card got Magic censored in South Korea - the classic Serra Angel art was considered too provocative. I want the Russian Golgari Grave-Troll because I like Dredge.

whydirt posted:Actually I was wrong and switched the card number gap in my head. Yeah, there should be plenty of room for some more green cards. They probably won't do that anymore because the fall set will be in print a little longer than the core set and it throws things off.

ScarletBrother posted:German is the Rube-Goldberg device of languages. That's pretty much it. A specific thing should have a specific word that describes it. So you've got your Golem-verzauberungsartefaktkreaturspielstein, a Golem enchantment artifact creature token; since 'enchantment artifact creature token' is a specific kind of thing, it gets its own word. (And then farblosen is colourless.) They could even have written Golemverzauberungsartefaktkreaturspielstein, but they probably wanted to split out Golem as the creature type. English does it in a few cases, like daylight and sunlight are one word rather than being day light and sun light, but German does it more often and with more elements.

I didn't notice it before, but now it's going to haunt me and slowly consume my soul every time I look at a card. I wonder if they'll ever change up the frames to remove the Web 2.0 swoopy curves of the 8th edition design, anyway.
