Errant Gin Monks posted:North south east west? If you aren't north of San antonio come play with us at Dragons Lair. I was confused when you said "if you aren't north" but then I saw there is another Dragons Lair in Austin. As it turns out the Fredrikson drive store is perfect! We will be staying 40 minutes up the road in Comfort and that is the closest store. So it looks like I'll be heading there! I see they do not have an events scheduled up for December yet, any idea what will be on? and how many people turn up for FNM? My LGS in HUll(UK) is tiny so anything above 12 is going to feel like a GP.

Twiddle was drat near a one-mana instant speed Vindicate. Edit: poo poo, was it not Twiddle? I looked at Magiccards.info to look for the old printing and I can't find one that just says "Tap target permanent." Could've SWORN it was 4th ed. Twiddle.

Is that even good? For 9 mana I think I'd want more immediate board impact than a lightning bolt or a slightly-better pongify. I think M15 Garruk just does most of the same things better and cheaper.

It's only legendary creatures the whole no title past the first thing.

This makes sense considering that Planeswalkers have their first name or part of their name as a subtype, whereas Legendary Creatures are just a bear or human soldier, etc.

Its fake because the card itself is too bad for modern MTG and from a design complexity perspective, its on the level of the Lorwyn planeswalkers. You absolutely could not print "turn target permanent face down" without reminder text, either. The fact that the card is so convincing looking is what's a little disturbing. Most fakes are super easy to spot, and I really only could tell because Wizards doesn't print things like that. If they had put something more realistic on the card and thrown it out during spoiler season, there would have been some serious confusion.

I agree it's a fake because of the unlikely chance that they would print those abilities, but I hope it keeps that art. I'd love to see another high-cost colorless walker like Karn, hopefully one that's playable in tron.

Angry Grimace posted:At 9 CMC I would expect its plus ability to be Vindicate. At this point, all we know Ghostfire can do is Burn things, ala the card Ghostfire, and buff things, ala Ghostfire Blade, so that plus ability is pretty close to what I was expecting. However, I really couldn't say anything else, I just hope that we get a 7-8 mana colorless planeswalker that is standard playable. Difficult to do, considering the high mana cost, but thats what I want out of him.

I suspect Ugin will be colorless as that has been his schtick from what we've seen so far (though Ghostflame/Ghostfire? in Future Sight used a red mana symbol despite the card being colorless), and the art there was the leaked one from a few months back, so it's likely that it will be used unless they have an alternate ready.

I thought it was 7-mana at first and I thought "sure it's fake, but I agine gein hating it with a sideboard full of walkers" Then I saw it was actually 9 mana and it's just a bad fake now.
