Maybe Tarkir dragons get old faster. Or just imagine they're 3 million years old.

I don't understand spanish beyond a couple words, but google translates the flavor text as "was tortured by honoring their ancestors; now walks among them" which maybe means she was just experiencing internal conflict over the ancestor worship stuff that Dromoka isn't cool with?\


Ancestor Worship was the black part of Abzan, Dromoka isn't cool with that.

At least her official flavor text is less torture-y.

Martyrdom is pretty torture-y.

Nobody's posting about the new Planeswalker Guide to Dragons of Tarkir?

http://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/uncharted-realms/planeswalkers-guide-dragons-tarkir-part-1-2015-03-11

Tarkir sounds like a really terrible place to live now, unless you have wings and breathes fire.

In a way, the planeswalker's guide makes me think of Kamigawa, the revered dragons are back and they rule the show, gently caress non dragons.

It doesn't seem too awful if you're one of Ojutai's. Be chill, learn stuff, don't talk common in earshot of a dragon.

It's a massive step down from the Jeskai though.

It's Jeskai plus segregation. Dragons are dicks

Those are two different cards with different names? The names are swapped I guess, Demonic is Diabolique?

Demonic and Diabolic are practically synonyms.

Anyway I love the French name of Defang:

Isn't French for Blood, Sang? Why are these French translations so... medical?

"Hémato-" is the prefix for blood, my guess is that it takes less space than "sanguin" or "de sang".Prefixes tend to avoid having too many nouns "baron de sang de vizkopia" doesn't sound so great.

Also it sounds kind of cool :shrug:

So, I got one of those mythical DISCARD cards in my draft pool this morning.



Good thing, too. I got a fresh pack (nothing lost since the rare was a Lodestone Golem) and got to keep the weirdo card. The fresh pack had Splinter Twin in it. :getin:

In Origins, red cards are Zendikar, Regatha, Theors and Kaladesh, and this guy is definitely not from Zendikar. Dominiara is represented on black or white cards.
