there's a new shadows over innistrad picture or something featured that shows jace and people are speculating because of the black tones and shades he have we might be getting a Dimir Jace Walker

Serious post by black potus time.

Spoilers sincerely ruin my enjoyment of the new set. Much like a good book, the anticipation of seeing a cool mythic for the first time when I rip open a pack and the rush of reading about how my opponents can't even (lol, I really enjoy this joke, probably one of my faves in magic) or whatever crazy rear end ability they stick on a red enchantment this time heightens my enjoyment of the game. Having that spoiled for me just takes the fun out of Magic. Leaks are even worse. At least when WOTC does it it's part of a coordinated effort to show me some sweet rear end mechanics, even if I'd rather learn about these cards along with the sweet smell of a freshly cracked pack. When some layabout leaks this poo poo I just don't even care about this game anymore. I honestly don't even want to open an Oath of the Gatewatch pack now that I know what will be in it.

edit: eh, not worth it

that's cool, you're the one who looks like an idiot for not paying attention to the fact that admins clearly don't care about spoilers

i just said it was a dick thing to do.

who cares if it's the headline of fyad. as referenced not everyone access the forums by going to the front page and clicking through each subforum to get where they want to go

if you have to be told that's kind of a weak move to go into a thread that's not related and drop spoilers then you're already too retarded to understand the initial point.

These are the best FNMs. I'm sure yall have the guy in your LGS who loves to give commentary on what he would have done different and asks why you're running card X instead of Y because Y is so powerful and seems offended you're not playing like he would.

Elyv posted:

so the interesting thing about this is that it is bad against bolt in a somewhat counterintuitive way. If you try to switch to a 4/1 and they bolt in response to the activation that turns it into a 4/1, the stack will look like this:
bolt
fumarole activation

so even though it's a 1/4, it takes 3 and switches to a 4/1 and dies

bolt's not in standard

This whole thing makes me want to buy a bunch of blue core Chinese proxies indistinguishable from real cards to play with.

I actually bought some of these 2 months ago based off an MTGLion video. The Chinese fakes are two things: Hilariously bad or perfect. Some cards are brighter on the back and feel like poo poo and some others you can't tell it's a fake.

Someone in the local EDH Facebook group asked if the change to the mana generation rule in EDH (mana generated that's outside of your commanders color identity no longer changes to colorless) meant you could ignore color identity altogether for deck building, and was disappointed this wasn't the case

If only packrat and revelation didn't exist, that format could have been really balanced and good.
