Didn't Maro post something on his blog ambiguously hinting that we may see named creatures in one set, and Planeswalkers based on them in a later set? Should I just start picking up UWR stuff now?

Narset as the tricolor planeswalker opposed to a new Nicol Bolas card in the third set (being WRU instead of BRU) is pretty much my dumb story dream.

A friend of mine said he'd read a story online pretty much explaining the origin of the Tarkir Vampire token, that Sorin killed some Mardudes and enthralled one to lead him to Ugin's grave, did anyone see it? I can't find it on the Wizards site, possibly because I'm not getting on with the redesign.

I don't think they're going to do a tri-colored walker again unless its a Commander product or something because then you're taking the spotlight cards of your product and limiting it to very specific decks. If they go with a Narset walker, I'd be very surprised if she wasn't just blue or blue/x.

And in a glorious anti-climax, the third set ends with Narset popping up and kicking the poo poo out of the single oldest being in the multiverse with kung fu. Come to think of it, has Nicole won any battles since the mending? Even with Ugin, we're on a course to, "Nah, you didn't actually win that one because time travel."

He freed the Eldrazi and got super high on Conflux, that sounds like winning to me.

He beat the poo poo out of Leshrac (FUT) and handed Teferi's rear end to him (TSP i believe). Time Spiral block was pretty high on Nicol Bolas kicking rear end.

They can easily make a RW or BG or UG walker that covers the other wedges.

Is the DCI really going to start going after people for message board content now, or are people actually harassing Humphries on facebook and twitter? From: http://www.reddit.com/r/magicTCG/comments/2jsuue/suspect_shuffling_at_worchester_scg_standard/ quote:We have reviewed the footage of Mr. Humphries and concluded that there is enough evidence that we have submitted an investigation to the Judge Program. We have contacted Mr. Humphries to notify him of this and to request a statement for inclusion in the investigation.

A French player got suspended for life after threatening a WotC employee on a forum. They will absolutely punish for it. http://www.mtgsalvation.com/forums/magic-fundamentals/magic-general/327999-lucas-florent-receives-lifetime-ban The ban has since been lifted (a year later), but I wouldn't be surprised if similar things happen again.

I don't see how shaming a cheater (weird that a similar announcement never came up for Bertoncini since a lot of us have probably harassed him in the past) goes against that mission statement but whatever floats their boat.

I believe that was directed the the folks who were doxxing him. It appears his linkedin was easily found and folks in the Reddit thread were bringing up the fact he is an MP in the airforce and discussing if there were any ramifications for his job. Basically hinting that someone should contact the air force "for justice". I would imagine that if get caught doing that poo poo on twitter or anywhere else you could go down with him.

Internet detectivery is scary poo poo. I can definitely see wizards trying to quash that before it becomes a major problem for them. If that is what they are threatening with DCI punishment, I can certainly agree with it.

Oh dang people were doxxing him? Yeah that's honestly way more out of the line than just internet shaming. It's weird because like, using one's own real identity on the internet is a thing that people just do but like it's done with the belief that people won't abuse that information. What we should really do is get giant red C's (or S's) and make people who have served DCI suspensions wear them at tournaments.

What's your point here then? The only 3 color walker in existence wasn't printed in a 3-color set, so a 3-color walker being omitted from Khans doesn't preclude one from being included in a future set in the block. Also Nicol Bolas saw play in 5 color control as a "fifth cruel ultimatum" that was better at dealing with things that cruel ultimatum didn't handle well.

Honestly, if its ruled somebody intentionally cheated, and they have done it more than once, should not be allowed to play in DCI sanctioned events. Sure, they'll probably still be able to play at low level events like FNM's by using a different DCI number and a fake name, but they are prevented from robbing people of their winnings. Also, the guy who lost to Humphries in the finals, I feel like he should get some of the first place prize out. I know its a logistical nightmare, but drat, its a huge kick in the nuts to lose, and then find out it was because the opponent cheated.

Doxxing is reprehensible but imagining what an Air Force lieutenant or whatever would make of a call explaining that one of his MPs was caught basedealing nonland permanents to the top, thus ensuring his opponent would be mana screwed is funny.

Maybe, since White is the colour most morally opposed to cheating, to put a white mana symbol on their shirts, so that everyone can see. And to prevent them from changing DCI numbers, they can get a tattoo of them.  Dumb jokes aside, doxxing is idiotic. Dude cheats at a card game, and he's already going to lose out on the prizes, and get banned, he's not a murderer.

Hence my statement it's a logistical nightmare. I have no better idea for the current system that Starcity is employing and have no idea how to resolve it equitably for all parties involved, and will agree that Starcity's current method of donating the prize money is a fair compromise between the ideal and reality. However I really feel there needs to be some sort of compensation for the person who got there and lost thanks to a cheater.
