    Yeah I went deep on Sorin last week and after it proved popular over the weekend I had 8 cancels on MCM. Thing is they don't allow customers to cancel pre-orders.... Spotted this combo today (Throw Urborg in if you're not black devotion.) : Empty the Pits has been largely written off but...

    Titan has been cancelled.

    FTFY I don't agree. What I do think will happen is we will get less Corporate involvement - including in key game design decisions - which is a great thing and more smaller studio and creator driven titles. Garriotts is due to come out before year end. I'll be surprised if someone isn't...

    Yeah, I said randomize effectively - I understand the law of averages and the bell curve (I have degrees in IT and Electronic Engineering). What you are stating is statistically sound - what I am talking about goes beyond that and it is something that WotC have had problems with in the past...

    enzie and Arbitrary I think you're both right and each of us has to make our own decisions on when to buy. The thing is enzie is spot on saying we are talking about hypothetical situations because we just don't know what they've done in preparation of high demand (they know this is going to be...

    It's not just the Lifelink. It only needs 2 points from laying it down to using its ultimate and obviously you get one of those immediately on putting it down. If you lay down Ajani Steadfast your opponent gets one turn to take out Sorin. Turn three Sorin, turn four Ajani - boom your opponent...

    Clever Impersonator is the card that has my attention : The inclusion of fetches into the block makes Courser even more nailed on to be a key card. I'd like to make a RUG deck work based around Caryatids, Coursers and some of the following (Mindswipe is the biggie) ...

    This is exactly what I'm talking about when I say Utd fans remind me so much of LFC on the slide in the 90s/00s. Thinking the club only need to buy a few decent players to put them back on top, right down to only needing one more player - the last piece of the jigsaw.

    Most fans are realistic and will jump at the chance to go from being outside the top four to challenging for everything if it takes a few years. The thing is in the English league there is no guarantee even if you spend obscene amounts of money. Liverpool didn't just go from being the top...

    Manc fans are planning a protest against the Glazers. Last year it was Moyes fault, this year it's the Glazers. The thing is this - for the last half a decade Ferguson intimidating referees was good for a dozen points a season. Now they are finding their level and their fans are in denial...

    Control will still have the following which I expect to come to the fore : Just no 4 cost sweep. As far as Gods are concerned yeah I think Keranos is the real deal, but I can't believe they added Deicide to the game at the end of the 'Gods' block. Possibly the worst/most annoying...

    The fastest way of leveling from around 40-44 (forget exactly, I'm away) is to do repeated runs of the first quarter of Dzamael. It's the place where if you stand near the crystals you only take 10% damage. Single pull the first quarter of the dungeon, which is around 60 mobs, and AE them down =...

    Massive performance from Henderson today. He's another one that lives just around the corner from me.

    Interesting article talking about a winding in of cheap spot removal and sweeps :Developing Annihilation | MAGIC: THE GATHERING Key point for me is when he says : The tail end of Lorwyn-era Standard, when Magic 2010 was released, had no four-mana sweeper, for example. The world didn't...

    Sooner or later their fans will wake up to the fact it's the players who are mediocre. Reminding me very much last season and on in to this of LFC when their period of dominance came to an end. On the slide and delusional about impending return to glory. It's going to take years of rebuilding...

    Do you meanTeferi? He's nuts. As if Blue - especially with cycling or draw - needed any kind of boost after the deck that Floch got to the Pro Tour Final with last week, of course WotC had no way to predict that happening when they made the Commander decks. May as well post that up...

    Open to correction on any of the following from you folk who have been around the last few years as it's just me reading between the lines.

    There is another way to look at it. MTGO has done and is doing so well despite the UI and functionality, so what happens when that is improved ?

    Thinking of investing some cash in MtG for the first time in over a decade but only on new releases. My thinking is WotC are concerned about Hex infringing on their player base and sales and are likely to react by putting out some powerful cards to attract players and get a reaction from...

    I bought quite a number of boxes of Revised towards the end of its run.
