The LGS was charging the equivalent of $40 for a draft, with a grand total of ... 3 packs of prize support (2 packs for 1st, 1 pack for second). I decided to pass on it and grab singles later instead.

One store is doing $40.00 with no prize support listed on the facebook page, but they have always done 8-4 or 8-4-2-2 drafts in the past. Other store is $35.00 swiss with 4-2-1-1.

One place I know of in Denver is charging $30 for a draft. You don't draft the foils and you keep your picks, no prize packs because the place does rare redrafting normally. I'm so glad I play at a place that doesn't do that and allows you to buy the pack and insert another one if you open the money pack.

I think that's what it's supposed to mean. Take out the roll and keep it like the basic land in most drafts.

That's what we do. Completely solves the insane pack value scenario.

  Dusk (?) - 2ww Sorcery Destroy all creatures with power greater or equal to 3 Dawn (?) - 3ww Sorcery Consequence - Cast this spell only from your graveyard, then exile it. Return all creature cards with power less than or equal to 2 from your graveyard to your hand. So, flashback split cards?!?

I could almost see this being a sideboard card for Death and Taxes. Retribution of the Meek is already a card I've played, and getting to buy back all your dead dudes afterwards is really nice. Of course it costs 4 mana and Meekstone costs 1 so eh. AlternateNu posted:Then what does your wife think he's going to get out of Disney?

It looks like they want you to put it in your graveyard sideways so the flashback part is sticking out from the normal cards?

Would it really have been that difficult to just bring Flashback back? Flashback cards that change depending on whether they're being cast or being flashed back already exist.

I brought the card up on Tumblr and there's some doubt about it being real. Also I found out that Amonkhet's official info has the set at 264 cards, despite their own released basic lands saying /269 Is there anything obviously fake about it? 201/269 is suspicious, since Kamigawa's flip cards were normally numbered, and, well, Wizards would probably not want to make the cards look that bad, but Wizards and good decisions are hit and miss.

I think it looks great, but I also liked those split cards before like Beck//Call and Wear//Tear. It is a cool take on flashback and having the other half do something very different makes it unique enough to not just call it flashback.

Regular split cards are a lot more visually appealing because one of the cards isn't twisted at a 90 degree angle to the other. This one looks like some sort of graphical bug. Like, I literally thought for an instant it might be a MTGO display bug that someone screenshotted. I like the idea though.

Don't be fancy for fancy's sake, especially if the end result is an eyesore. The one advantage this has over keeping it in one text box, is it's a bit easier to keep track of.

On second thought it's mechanically different enough to not be flashback. It changes the name and the CMC and while flashback can increase the power of a card's effect it usually doesn't outright change the entire thing. Not a fan of the sideways look though.

I feel like it would look better if they took the split card template and rotated one of the halves 180 degrees, not 90 degrees. Make the border on the graveyard half look different like Miracles and Gods did so it's obvious at a glance which side is which.

I admitted it's easier to keep track of. Idk if that's a good enough reason, and as Lottery pointed out, there may have been more visually pleasing ways of achieving that.

I asked this before but just in case it got lost cause it was an edit: Could it be fake? At a glance I'm not seeing anything immediately suspicious besides the 201, but it WOULD mean that there'd be a LOT of these (if it is indeed pushing them back, or somesuch), or that something else is going on. At a guess... Count as multicoloured, so they go after all colours are done, along with the multicoloured and artifacts? No idea on the order or anything, but it could explain it.
