If someone says it one more time I'm having Florina show up as a corpse. I'm not even kidding, I was pissed off with people doing that shit back in 2010, and I'm not dealing with it now in 2016.

None of the cards have flavor text and it's considered a novelty when the same creature appears in the art of three different cards, how can it have a story?

Gideon's the coolest of the Origins 5 and the coolest planeswalker in general. I'd be up for reading more about him cockblocking Jace all day long.


There's no on going story, just occasional short, implied stories for named characters. Also references to previous cards but that's about it.

Then there's the Hidden Arsenal Storyline, which is currently in the Qliphort/Zefra/Infernoid plot. They pretty much tell story purely through art until the storybooks come out

Yes they have:
Hellkite Overlord — was previewed in From the Vault: Dragons.
Sword of Body and Mind — was previewed in From the Vault: Relics.
Mikaeus, the Lunarch — was previewed in From the Vault: Legends.

3/7 have had spoilers. The VERY FIRST ONE had a preview card.

I'm delightfully forgettable.
Took first place at 5-0 in my local Modern FNM with Infect, walked away with a bunch of store credit and two(!) Path to Exile promos. It was one of those nights where I drew everything I needed, exactly when I needed it. I would ordinarily say a good performance like this out of me comes once in a blue moon, but then I realized what loving day it was.

I mean, besides the people who only play online and won't be able to anymore, I'll bet there's a lot of people who would actually quit magic over that happening, rather than just complaining about it on the internet like with most things Wizards does.

My guess is that if they wanted to shut the game down they'd just leave up the servers and not bother to put new sets on it at which point everyone would quit, sort of like an old MMO. I don't see them ever doing that until the Magic card business went belly up.

I haven't played duels but the cgi stuff they are showing a lot of during the pro tour of the origins planes walkers is all very low quality. For a moment I thought I was watching Reboot.

Regular 2D animation would probably be the best but they'd never do it since they have a specific art style (more realistic) they prefer in the actual game art.
