On the other hand we could see a Big Game Hunter functional reprint (I don't think an actual reprint because Human Rebel Assassin seems out of place in an Innistrad set), Dark Withering, we know Fiery Temper is on the way and perhaps Grave Scrabbler or Brain Gorgers as they rather fits the theme.

Late, but I want Rebels to be a faction in SoI, if only because that opens up the possibility of having a faction of Rebel Angels :devil:

I know it doesn't really fit with the flavor, but Wizards absolutely should have changed Investigate to "Assemble" and Clue to "Contraption".

Owen's latest article is hilarious

quote:

I went 14­-0 in my first 14 matches with the deck before playing against Reid Duke in the finals of an 8-person event on MTGO and losing—he was playing Atarka Red with Nissa. I dismissed the deck.

I asked Reid to play me some more games to test my deck. He claimed to be busy playing a Daily Event. I checked out the event and he’s 1-­2 receiving a bye in the final round.

Quick anecdote: So many people were playing Hardened Scales that on Day 2, when I would ask if my opponent had dice and wanted to high roll for choice of play or draw, I knew that all the people who didn't have dice were not playing Scales.

That's gorgeous, looks like it's the outcome of Nahiri wrecking poo poo. Could be a wrath, or with Sorin looking contemplative it could be a black draw spell.

Might be playable, but I don't think blue likes playing with no hand. Probably great for limited, probably a 6/6 for 5 or better most of the time.

Definitely something I would expect Owen to do while trying to get an edge. Does he still go to table to table on day two asking for match slips so he can update his spreadsheets?

There is a grinder in my local meta that does things like this fairly often. He is the guy who will ask you what you are playing before game one at competitive rel. He is the type that will cut your deck, check out both bottom cards, and then argue with the judge during the judge call. He is also the type that will be slow to show up to his table, so that he can walk behind his opponent shuffling on the way to his seat to try and get a glimpse of what his opponent is playing.

Am I reading this correctly, that Reid made a polite white lie excuse because he didn't feel like playing Owen, so Owen detective'd him and blew up his spot in an article? What a psycho.
