So my prediction is Return to Phyrexia or Phyrexia Unleashed or whatever in 2017.

This dude is clearly projecting some poo poo on what I'm sure was, for you, a casual act of largesse. Are you a store owner also, or does he just think you run a boarding school for aspiring pro tour players or some poo poo?

I drifted away from the game after the last Zendikar block and now that I'm playing again, it's back. I will never escape landfall.

Phyrexians getting a hold of Vensers corpse was a pretty huge indication of how they are going to get places in the future.Entropic posted:WOTC knows that they're obligated to bring back fetch-lands, full art basics, and landfall to avoid a riot, right? I am unbelievably stoked about the possibility of even more regular art Zendikar lands, so they better bring back full art basics.

lol he replied ot me calling him an emotionally and mentally broken human <me>, <employee> is going to be taken care of, we just hadn't had that discussion yet regarding his sponsorship. The issue was not him accepting cash from whomever; it was him accepting cash favors from my competitor (or a person closely associated with my competitor, even informally). It is a conflict of interest. <employee> is in the running to become my store manager and it is critical that he not put himself in a position where the trust he has earned from me, could be compromised by an appearance of impropriety. Him getting a favor from a disinterested third party would present no such concerns.

We used to only really have one Magic shop in town, but a new one opened up a little over a year ago, and they do all MTG-related stuff way better (Actually selling singles, having the option get prizes in store credit instead of packs, which can be used for singles or entry fees, having better prizing). So of course there's a bunch of dumb drama between some people, like a loyalist to the first store tried to shut down the local Magic facebook group and create new ones for each store because he felt the group had become too associated with the new store. I've managed to ignore most of it, but some people are just addicted to drama.

Yeah and I think his specialty before he was a Planeswalker was teleportation magic anyways. Venser is the best Planeswalker fyi. edit: the last two posts are almost definitely directly related imo. Instead of competing with other stores it's preferable to some types to try to build up loyalty instead. Unfortunately the loyalty tends to take the path of Stockholm Syndrome. rabidsquid fucked around with this message at 22:49 on Mar 6, 2015 |

I thought they were suppoed to move on after "consuming" Zendikar They were but the hedron system still has the physical manifestations of them trapped and as far we know they have not finished eating yet. Ulamog been visually confirmed there, but the other two have not been seen for a while. Still most likely trapped, and there is still a lot of the lesser bloodlings to deal with zendikar. http://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/uncharted-realms/nissa-worldwaker-2014-06-25

Zendikar was the set that got me back into the game after not playing since Weatherlight and it was a really fun block with some cool mechanics, but I feel like it was pretty lame and generic flavor-wise. I kinda wish they just said the Eldrazi destroyed Zendikar and continued that story on a new plane with more flavor than "generic adventure plane" and especially so after seeing the list of all the themed planes they want to do, all of which sound way cooler than a return to Zendikar. Like it's way more exciting seeing how goblins and merfolk and stuff change appearance based on the theme of the plane they're on than having the regular old versions. Meh, excited to see Landfall and enemy manlands at least. And lol at people who said all ten fetches in the same standard would be too much and they'd never do it.

I'm just hoping they don't do landfall +2/+2 on every good common creature in the set again because holy poo poo that is awful for limited.

I won't be surprised if Emrakul and the other Eldrazi are immune to phyresis. They have the whole protection-from-colors thing and Eldrazi vs. Phyrexia would be cooler.
