Or open it back up so today's spoilers can get pasted in? Elder dragons refer to a specific thing that a very very long time ago in the mtg timeline. http://mtgsalvation.gamepedia.com/Elder_Dragon#Elder_Dragons. Making the khans dragons into elders is stupid.

Ciprian Maricon posted:I'm not sure if this is directed at me, but I know my Elder Dragons, I spent months as a kid trying to chase down a Chromium, my mother did not understand why I wanted so desperately to drive to the comic store all the way across town for some Legends boosters. More so for the other posters, but I completely understand. I had a Chromium which was the only Elder Dragon I even opened form a pack. Still wish I had it, as buying a new one isn't the same. Tacking Elder onto these very young dragons just feels unnecessary to me. The original five were special this just feels tacked on for some free nostalgia credit, despite having no connection the originals.

Tubgoat posted:Shaman of Forgotten Ways is a Biorhythm that's legal in TWO singleton formats where the latter is banned. 11 mana is nothing when you have both Priest of Titania and Elvish Archdruid available. If it was an elf, I'd order two playsets. Seeing as Biorhythm is banned what is the likeliness that this dude will also be banned? And Somberwald Sage saw a decent amount of play when it was legal including as a four of in a GP winning deck. http://magic.tcgplayer.com/db/deck.asp?deck_id=1070605

Rinkles posted:I have a very loose grasp of the lore.

Ulamog been visually confirmed there, but the other two have not been seen for a while. Still most likely trapped, and there is still a lot of the lesser bloodlings to deal with zendikar. http://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/uncharted-realms/nissa-worldwaker-2014-06-25

Madmarker posted:Well, I have done a complete 180 on this set today. At first it looked like a horrible dragon-themed reskinning of AVR......and then the commons and uncommons popped up. AND gently caress YEAH THIS SET LOOKS AWESOME. Like, I'm going to try and draft UB Exploit like a madman. Agree with 100%. Set look like overcosted rear end and now it looks like a fun one to draft. Nice to see Negate finally getting new art. Tormenting voice, Naturalize, and Summit yeti get reprinted from Khans for limited. Kindled Fury, Battle Mastery, Explosive Veggies all get a reprint.

Did prices crash on DTK singles? I was looking to get a few things and prices are down from what they were yesterday. Collected Company was 8.50 now 4.50 at tcgplayer and Deathmist raptor was close to 10 and is now around 6. e - Narset is low 30's now and sarkhan is 21-22.

whydirt posted:The baby Ugin 6-drop dragon has to be the one bumped from common to uncommon by development. I'd be curious to know what happened during playtests for that to happen. A common French-vanilla 4/4 flyer for 6 doesn't seem that obnoxious in a set with many other similar cards at uncommon. A 4/4 flyer for 6 is a typical uncommon though. Gold-Forged Sentinel and Lumengrid Gargoyle.

Sigma-X posted:Since I took a 3 year hiatus, is there a cliff's notes version of the magic history from Scars of Mirrodin onward? Innistrad Block - Garruk chases LIlliana who is there looking for Gistlebrand. Sorrin's home plane who is b/w, and he made Avacyn as a way to keep the humans and vampires in balance except she has vanished. Lilliana eventually explodes the giant prison thing that Gistlebrand is in freeing Gistlebrand and Avacyn. Then angels everywhere. Garruk get a little relief from his curse but not really. RTR block - whacky races the mtg set trying to remake the guildpact, except its Jace who becomes the new guildpact. Theros Block - Ancient greece/rome the set. Elspeth crash lands after being forcibly sent out of New Phyrexia by Koth who tries to kill Elesh Norn. Koth's status is still MIA. Heliod (white god) is a dick. Elspeth eventually kills Xenogas (the new r/g god) and Heliod kills her because he is a dick. Ajanni shows up and becomes an atheist. Kiora finally gets a card and impersonates Thassa (blue god) to get more leviathans to fight against the Eldrazi. Elspeth gets shown in the underworld because Erebos (black god) is a dick. The only god that isnt a dick is Kruphix (u/g god). e forgot Khans. Sarkhan is a crazy rear end in a top hat who travels back in time to same ugin from bolas and because of that he saves all the dragons who were extinct in his original timeline. Now Takir sucks even more. Bugsy fucked around with this message at 00:10 on Mar 19, 2015 |
