BJ can we get a minute's notice before thread switching? I lost a (fantastic!) post on the understated elegance of some of the new commons revealed today.

Which begs the question of why it's formated that way. It seems very "feel bad" and unintuitive for the unsuspecting caster.

qbert posted:Also another question. I didn't realize Exploit allowed you to sacrifice the creature you just cast. Will the 2nd triggered ability even go on the stack if you choose to say, cast Sidisi and then sac it to its own Exploit trigger? It will. According to Gottlieb:"yes, she can exploit herself"

NEW COMMAND CYCLE

Wall chat got me to realize the Onslaught Wall of Mulch was a hideous photoshop edit of a painting (I thought it was a bad photoshop original). The original was restored in the M15 reprint.

rabidsquid posted:Black doesn't have a lot of choices and they're really predicated on creature type, which makes it a neck and neck race between the Snake Wall and the Skeleton Wall. My pet black wall would be a 1/1 flying deathtouch defender for B. A fetid rat corpse strapped to a balloon as art.

mr. mephistopheles posted:Actually I'd be willing to bet that the M15 version looks better because of Photoshop. "I was told to make a wall of forest detritus and man-made odds and ends. Later somebody went around my AD and got some poor dude in Production to mutilate it in Photoshop. Thus the illustration you see here and the card don't quite match. This, too, sometimes happens, dear ones. Just take the money and move on.  "http://www.deviantart.com/art/Wall-of-Mulch-70658352

So which side up is the correct way to sleeve your cards? Bottom of card to bottom of sleeve or the opposite?

Bombastic trailer for the Origins game, featuring child Chandra. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=saNAgbhd2gw I doubt the featured card artwork (like Vengvine) has any implications for what the paper set will include.

Emerson Cod posted:So, with Evolving Wilds spoiled it looks like we won't be getting enemy fetches in Dragons. However, there are 5 spare slots on the sheet since the official set size is 264. Can someone explain how we know the number of land slots?

Angry Grimace posted:The order of cards by color and type always stays the same and is listed in alphabetical order. Basic lands are numbered separately from nonbasic lands and put at the very end (there are always 3 of each basic in large sets). Therefore, if Evolving Wilds is 249/264, there aren't any non-basics after it. Not that it matters for Zendikar fetchlands, but isn't it 248 on EW? It's tiny, maybe I'm wrong.

Traditionally how playable have these sort of abilities been? The Dragonspeaker reduction was a bit beefier. E:i guess it's effectively a worse, more expensive conditional elvish mystic that can eat goblin tokens

Any quick way of spotting fakes? You probably can't tell from the lovely picture, but the Hymns are much paler than newer cards and their backs a smidgeon redder. I was just wondering whether the print technique changed that much (other old cards tend to also be paler but these stood out). I don't have delusions of these being worth anything, just curious.
