Thank god.

And thank you for posting. I can't get MTG.com to load because of all the knobs trying to get it to load instead of me.

Would you do it for me?

I charge too much for hits these days.  I mean, like, I'm expensive even by lawyer standards.  Only the finest Mafia bosses can afford me now.  Quality costs money, you know?

Too good for Columbian drug lords?

Anyway, I'm a little disappointed, nothing new on the BR to rant about for the next three months. Maybe guildpact will break something for us.

I hard guildpact is going to have this card:
Guild Ritual
{B}
Sorcery
Lose 5 life.
Add {B}{B}{B}{B}{B} to your mana pool.

So yea, they are!  :lol: :lol: :lol:

God wouldn't that be overpowered if it was true?

Maybe I'll work on Turn - One - Storm dot deck in legacy so they have to ban something next time.  Last I tried the deck was more consistantly turn 1 than IGGy and had the same control matchup.. Hmmm.

There's nothing worse than getting killed by a Weasley-twin lookalike for a foil Japanese Mind's Desire.

I will break into your house while you aren't home and disguise myself as a chair. Then I will leave before you get home, but there will be a place at your table where I was a chair and you will wonder why there isn't a chair there. Then later I will leave the chair disguise on your doorstep and you will realize what has happened and you will be afraid all the time. Helter Skelter mother fuckers!

A little discussion from AF.

Quote from: Aaron Forsythe
Vintage is currently ruled by the Unholy Trinity of Mishra's Workshop, Mana Drain, and Tendrils of Agony, but it's stable. It's almost as if those three are in a standoff, each waiting to see if anything will be done about the others. We just don't feel anything needs to be done. Ravnica and Portal cards are making a tiny bit of noise, but nothing has upset the proverbial apple cart.

So they annoyed the 12 people who actually play prismatic. Hurray! What an announcement.

If that Guild Ritual cards is real, I may have to start worrying about Belcher decks  Very Happy

Perhaps portal is not making an upset because almost nobody has the cards and they are nowhere to be found.

About Ravnica, work in progress, will be later next year before all is clear probably. There definitely are possibilities but it takes time to filter through them.

So does the lack of changes indicate that there is much stabillity in our magic formats now?  To stirr the "shitpot" so to speak, maybe a bit less stabillity is desired?  My reasoning is that formats that are too "stable", thus nonchanging, lead to stagnation.
Maybe redical change, ie. restricting/banning staples, is what we actually need.

Sure it's real, they're printing that in the last part of Ravnica block along with some lameass card called Necropotence.. Dunno why it's such a big deal.
