That would be great though

The first panel is clearly referring to Turtenwald winning GP Housten, it's just unfortunate timing.

Yeah I work in a court too, but I am not a lawyer, and it drives me nuts reading all of this useless and almost always totally off basis speculation but I never say poo poo. I appreciate him posting that though (also I work in a criminal court and don't know poo poo about contract law)

I'm sure he's correct, but it's sorta common courtesy to provide at least a little explanation beyond just asserting your expertise.

It isn't referencing the real world disaster it was just unfortunately timed and a disaster happened after creation, before publication, that makes it look like it is, which is why they removed it, because people like you wouldn't figure it out and would think they're acting in poor taste.

So, which colour combinations have not been represented on a Planeswalker. Keeping in mind that Ajani can pretty much claim to be a "Naya" Walker due to Vengeant and Mentor

Keeping in mind that Ajani can pretty much claim to be a "Naya" Walker due to Vengeant and Mentor I'm pretty sure all of the two-color combos have PWs now. Next step is to get the three-color combos on the board, we only have Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker (Grixis) and Sarkhan Unbroken (Temur).

Every two color pair has at least one walker. Every shard but Grixis is lacking one, every wedge but Temur is lacking one.

I want pre-retcon Narset to have awakened her spark and planeswalked away before Sarkhan destroyed the timeline. It'd give us a Jeskai planeswalker, and I'd love to see Khans Narset meet Dragons Narset.

Played u/w skies at standard today as testing for provincials, seemed pretty good. Deck did well against: - G/b rock and sultai Rock (offensively well) - u/w humans - w humans Pretty good against: - bant company - b/w control Lost to: - r/u/w control (in probably the tightest games I played all day) Deck has solid potential, ojutai and always watching wins games, tragic arrogance is great sideboard tech, playing most of the deck at instant speed seems good.

Mikujin posted:Narset didn't have a spark at all in the Khans timeline. She was born with what would have been Sarkhan's spark in the Dragons timeline (he removed himself from time which allowed him to keep his spark I guess). Or she was just killed by zurgo before it ignited in the khan's time line.

LOL if by people like me you mean people who are more aware of a flood in Houston than a guy winning a magic tournament there. It certainly makes a lot more sense given that context but drat that's an abrasive way of correcting somebody.

It isn't, because you just weirdly assumed the cartoonist decided to make a really tasteless decision instead of assuming it was drawn before the disaster. Then you went on the internet and commented on it instead of bothering to figure out which was true.

I'm more concerned about the people who decry others for being too sensitive or that WOTC kowtowed to this "outrage culture" instead of the action being a cool, good and appropriate PR move. Then again, people defended the old PA dick wolf comic so~

Nykthos was one of the worst Standards to deal with because it weirdly edged out a lot of potentially viable devotion decks.
