That's a neat card that could show up in a future set with a tribal bend

i'm pretty sure the name means it can only show up in return to lorwyn/shadowmoor, not that i'd complain

Couldnt Flamekin live on a different plane? Art wise, its for sure Lorwyn-based. But with new art it could be some other plane that has fire people chilling.

I don't know, it just seems like a really setting specific kind of name. Guess it depends on whether wizards thinks flamekin is the name of the fire people race or just the Lorwyn tribe.

Kinda like how cat people are leonin, but they might have a different tribe name on each plane (I don't know if this is true, I am bad at lore stuff)

The bigger art for the imprisoning of the Eldrazi's up. Don't think it plays to Kieryluk's strengths, really. He can be really good in a pretty narrow spectrum (often coinciding with when he's told to draw Elesh Norn) but outside it he's not great. Ugin looks pretty alright here though, to be fair.


(Fully expand the timg, not just halfway.)

I like how Ugin looks a lot, because he's got this kinda different art style from Sorin and Nahiri that emphasizes his otherness, but the eldrazi are really really bad, in my opinion.

Eh, I don't assume everyone is a guy, but everyone's post sounds like a guy in my head. Even if a poster identifies their gender, I still "hear" their post as having a male voice. Now the voices are different depending on whose is talking, and about what. However, everyone's posts, on this forum, sound male.

Meant to say weeks. But assuming he just wrote it, I guess it'd only be half a month.

I mean, in a way it is a legit concern but to be honest knowing one card out of 150 or however many even months before the release date isn't gonna lead to a real advantage.

Between the entire CFB collective I think they'd have something approaching substantial (lsv himself was responsible for previewing 4 or more Khans cards). I don't know if it's unreasonable to think they'd share

that's true and isn't something I thought about, but i still think it's reletavely okay as long as they don't know the entire set. they aren't going to create the perfect deck just having some random cards to playtest early with, the big post by baron is way spot-on about how CF and scg have a relevant advantage.

I have a quick question if anyone can answer. When Yavimaya Coast says: 'Tap: Add Green or Blue to your mana pool. Yavimaya Coast deals 1 damage to you.' Where do you assign that damage? Does it have to be to your life total or can you assign it to a creature/token?

Sorry bud, it's to you, the player.

Well the Elephant has the Abzan watermark, so it's either theirs or not specific to a Clan. Bolster as a name seems to fit Abzan too, the most like a formal military.

I thinks it's safe to assume it's Abzan, it fits the flavor of the clan pretty well.

I don't know a lot about YuGiOh, but I know it gets ridiculous really easily. The fact that the game has no resource system means that a spell that says just "draw two cards" is/was banned for quite a long time, for example.
But yes, Irony Be My Shield, please tell more. :allears:

Pretty sure Pot of Greed is still banned, when your deck is only 40 cards, two cards for no cost is horribly absurd. Especially since Yugioh has about a bajillion different tutor type cards.

Look, he's already good enough, let's not make him unfathomable. Well, "good enough", 8 mana is a lot, but I think maybe because of how good green is and how long games go nowadays that might not be impossible.
