The real question is how long we'll have to wait to get snow-covered Wastes.

With people calling this the 6th color, I am reminded of the old 6th color, purple. between red and blue. What are the odds the blue bleed is intentional?

Purple/Green being opposite to each other was meant to highlight the fight between the Natural and the Unnatural, wasn't it? I wouldn't be surprised if some of those old design documents were a part of it?

"Wastes" is also a conspicuously small, good word for a land. Wizards wouldn't use it for something they wouldn't reprint, they'd make up a word or use a phrase.

Irony Be My Shield posted:Not really. Kozilek is associated with knowledge, but blue has the related effects pretty firmly locked down. This lets you put them on your giant eldrazi for the big colorless deck without allowing those blue-ish effects to bleed into every other colour. Sure, and not letting the blue stuff bleed out is good, but I thought that the idea was to emphasize the mechanical identity of the colorless stuff. It's definitely in flavor/character for Kozilek, just not exactly the sort of mechanical identity that I think people are hoping will get pushed when it comes to colorless stuff.

Niton posted:Purple/Green being opposite to each other was meant to highlight the fight between the Natural and the Unnatural, wasn't it? I wouldn't be surprised if some of those old design documents were a part of it? The purple color was one of the things they considered for planar chaos before going with the colorshifted cards that give Maro heartburn anytime someones says Harmonize. The idea was that it would fall between black and blue on the color wheel and would take a few things from each of them. Discard was one that it was supposed to borrow from black, I don't recall the rest. It was supposed to be the direct enemy color of green, and the basic land was the City. Ultimately it just turned out to be too hard to get a reasonable number of cities and purple cards into the packs and you still had to figure out if the card backs were going to change or not.

I'm always antsy about Judge Conference deadlines, and it annoys me. The deadline for the Winter one in my region is coming up in ~1 week, and I can't decide to go or not, mostly because I have a hard time parting with cards. But at the same time, the promos are crazy (Ravages of War, Wasteland, Damnation, and more), and I figure that the Ravages alone is the whole trip. I think it's just me being bad with cards and time, but it keeps happening and it's annoying, it's not like it'd be a ludicrous cost or anything (plane is 100 euro, and I think I can go by train to the location for an extra 4 euro or so)

Ramos posted:What even happen at Judge Conferences anyway? Besides the free cards. Hanging out with a bunch of Judges, networking kinda, listening to presentations about stuff, workshops... Drafts and stuff in the evenings. I've been wanting to get back in the Judging groove when I get home and it seems like a good opportunity to get a start. "Hey I haven't been around a lot, how do I get started?" etc.

Ramos posted:What even happen at Judge Conferences anyway? Besides the free cards. Depends on your level, typically though the most important part is you attend presentations and participate in workshops relevant to different aspects of being a Judge. You'll meet other judges from your area or sometimes very distant and just chat, which is nice but the big reason the program pushes them is as a way to just continue education for Judges.

In the realm of absolutely loving weird, my friend showed me this recent post on the competitive magic reddit. I don't know, I'm not sure if it's really notable, it's just odd. I'd have a crack at what the encrypted message is, but I'm currently at work.

"I'm going to become a financial puppetmaser by buying up and destroying all the copies of a card nobody is using to begin with, then I'll pay a professional kids game player to showcase it in their deck, thus sending the card's value up, up, up!"

Looking forward to Phyrexians and Living Weapon costing <> in a future set. It's interesting reading the opposing sides right now: "semi-sixth color will poo poo in my cheerios!" vs "it could be fun." It's like Miracles all over again, except Miracles was universally bad from a gameplay point of view.

It's at least something new. BFZ had poo poo for new mechanics. Awaken is the most exciting thing in that set, and just barely. I'd rather they try and fail spectacularly than print a sub core set level of interesting stuff.

It's not an encrypted message, it's their public PGP key that you would use if you wanted to send them an encrypted message or file. I'm assuming this is someone that's super-paranoid about anything on the internet and wants all emails to be encrypted so that Wizards/the NSA can't spy on them and figure out who's behind this secretive speculation scheme.

How much are those 90 fakebux worth? If they are actually worth 40k as someone on reddit says, there is no way they are recouping their investment, even if they hoard all the Seances ever printed and burn half of them. Of coruse assuming this is not a huge scam/a crazy person taking MTGfinance to the utmos end.

Yeah, I realized that after the fact. The guy isn't claiming this is for money, but ha ha, right. There's even a few links in the comments about earlier messages across the internet involving the same guy trying to pay someone to destroy cards for him. I have to wonder if this guy just lives in a single room with nothing but a computer, a mail slot, and a toilet.
