It was barely ok for the $20 entry side event since they removed the extra packs. And you had people angle shooting eye contact there on Friday. The main event must've been awful.

I wonder how many game losses were handed out for touching teammate's cards. :3:

I expect him to follow LotVs price, a dip at rotation (but not as much as you'd think) followed by a quick rebound and then steady increase.

JtMS also is from a smaller printing and is really old.

I was going off power level and price while in Standard. Your reasoning seems better though.

Side events are the worst. I went 3-0-1 in 2 side events on sunday and had to just take packs because the prize wall is horrible and ended up with about 5 bucks of value for my trouble... I would've actually felt better if I had lost my 40 bucks down the toilet. The fact that they wouldn't take tickets for store credit was just horrendous.

maybe even better than vindicate, instant and lava spike is probably better than getting to kill a landreading too hard

Sorin is killing Avacyn.

Also the flavor test isn't quite Ancient Grudge levels of unneeded words, but it's depressingly close for a card that's going to be played in standard for the next 18 months

Clearly he's killing her but what is he actually doing? Pointing his sword at her while facing away from her and holding her scalp in her hand?

Also juxtaposition and repetition for emphasis do not constitute unneeded words

Pretty much all story-advancing flavor text is unneeded words imho. Gimme back Chaucer :(

He's doing mystical black magic stuff to her

and as for the latter thing, that's certainly the intent, yes, but it comes off as needlessly elaborate as compared to something that dumped the repeated theme with different wording.

See:

Sorin had created Avacyn, so it was a cruelty beyond imagining that it fell on him to end her forever.
vs.
Sorin had created Avacyn, so it was a cruelty beyond imagining, a pain beyond description, that it fell on him to end her forever.

It's subjective, sure, but the first one reads better to me

Huh. I guess Titov can make some nice art that doesn't look like the uninspired, generic style of his other cards. It looks neat (anime) like watercolors out of a final fantasy game.

It's weird how this new block system speeds up story resolution. They introduce and deal with threats in the same set. Kozilek is back! And we burned him. Avacyn is bad! Sorin killed her.
