I haven't had this issue yet and I just played against Abzan Midrange online. This deck is hella fun and let's me play Chasm Skulker and not feel bad about it.

Just thinking about some sets I never got to draft, like lorwyn or zendikar block. I'll probably do mostly coresets anyways. I don't know how much you trust the store, but isn't it a bad idea to buy loose packs from that long ago? I recall hearing that someone can figure out which rare is in the pack due to the booster wrapper being super thin, so you'll never get any Libraries or Bazaars, just every elephant graveyard ever.

I actually do trust the guys there and I've never had a reason not to. For all I know the packs they're ordering could have been mapped, but I don't think they would do it themselves. They're making money selling these old packs to us. I do know that the older the set, the easier it is to map, so I personally wouldn't spend all that extra money on old packs. Plus most of the cards from those sets were terrible.

Basically what you really want to do is play it before you swing with bident on the board/know for a fact your opponent is twiddling their thumbs. And then you at the very worst have a 2/2 for three that makes a 1/1. At the very best you have a 4/4 on your untap

Ftfy, it's fun as hell but also wildly inconsistent. An excellent deck for the gambling person.

I sadly took out my Chasm Skulkers for more Daring Thief action, but I'll probably end up talking myself back into them for gameday since I have this huge pile of squid tokens all ready to go.

Bident's been extremely good, so I'm thinking about cutting a Skulker for an extra Bident. I've had races where Bident definitely won because it gave me lots of cards while my fliers just swung past my opponent's army. Chasm Skulker is good when Bident is giving me a free Ancestral Recall every turn, but I don't need any extra good cards when I have a free Ancestral Recall every turn.

More female avatars than male avatars, though. That's pretty cool in my book. Also, they're hiding the white planeswalker from us. Does that mean they're not sure whether to cast Elspeth, Gideon or Ajani, or does it mean we're getting a brand new white Planeswalker!

I'm no game designer, but I think I'd have tried to incorporate planeswalking in some way shape or form--it sells the setting a whole lot better than 'random battlescape' does. I just don't think a tactical combat game really does a whole lot for the brand. Go for something a little more Arkham Horror (although ideally not hideously complicated and long) in terms of board layout instead of Heroscape.

Considering that Nissa seems to be fully replacing Garruk at this point and we're likely going to get a new white planeswalker who isn't a giant cat, it seems like they're really trying to model the group to be more general audience friendly, a la movie goers.

 I still hope against hope that the MtG movie A: isn't terrible and B: features Ajani and Bolas' conflict in some way. Giant one-eyed badass cat-dude's the best.

Do people really use YouTube to trade MTG cards in TYOOL 2014? I clicked a thread on deckbox about a possible bad trader and it linked me to a YouTube video of someone showing off his trade binder.

Translucent plastic is fun for mini painters. You can do all sorts of funky paint jobs with it. I went through a phase a while back recasting things into clear polyurethane and doing some really funky stuff with them like masking areas with a paint job, then embedding a micro LED in the base with a tiny button battery so the unpainted areas glowed. These ones might be a tad too small to pull off that exact effect, but something creative and fun can probably be done with them.

That sounds pretty sweet, but since I'm not really into miniature painting, they would probably just end up looking like indistinguishable translucent blobs while playing.

Currently getting reamed by a standard mill deck in MTGO. I didn't think that could be possible but it's probably just the lovely rear end quality of my jeskai deck.

 Photo from Essen (via reddit). Those dice make it look even more Heroscapey, but there seems to be cards, too? The blue card in the top right looks like the Duel Decks version of Counterspell.

I dunno, if I were them I'd make their board game cards look like the card game cards, too. There are what I assume to be oversized planeswalker reference cards for Liliana, Jace and Chandra, and also a stack of blue cards, a stack of black cards, and a stack of red cards... I think they're part of the game. Edit: More pictures - they are indeed custom cards with Magic art. Also very Heroscape-like units.

 at giving the firecat haste in this game. Everyone I know went through at least a brief phase where they thought the actual card had haste.
