Which would you personally prefer: a movie about Magic flavorful multiverse (huge magical explosions, Jace' s cape flowing all over the place, Liliana in the mandatory shower scene...) or a movie about Magic the trading card game (real players, maybe a tournament, much in the way there have been many solid movies about Poker or Blackjack...)?

I think the first has the better chance of both being successful and getting players into the game. (All doable without a shower scene, by the way.)

This seems like a good excuse to invite discussion about who you would cast in a Magic movie.

[up] On the former, I propose putting Emma Stone in all the movies.

She's got the right hair colour for Chandra, at least, but I'm kind of thinking Deborah Ann Woll for Chandra.

Might be interesting to combine the two concepts.

But I'd rather watch a movie about the Magic in-game universe.

Robert Downey Jr. as Chainer!

In-universe Magic.

Chandra = Christina Hendricks.

Nicol Bolas = James Earl Jones.

Sorin. . . Hm. . . The guy that played the writer in Moulin Rouge.

Ajani = Some epic CGI and the voice of Suidakra's lead singer.

[up] Chandra's build is a bit too athletic for Ms. Breasts of Death (although she is a talented actress; she was good as an agoraphobic in an episode of Without A Trace).

She's a talented actor, her voice matches, and she looks good ginger. Are there any better options?

Deborah Ann Woll looks quite fitting with her hair short.

I'm honestly not sure. She's best known for her role as a vampire in True Blood but I've only seen about one episode of that.

Doublepost because I forgot to mention something epic.

The doctor taking care of my broken arm? His name is Doctor Ajani.

Yeah. cool

On alternating weekends, I do a podcast with some friends.

On the way back from my friend's house, I always pass by a place called Vollrath Insurance.

@Casting: Obligatory David Tennant as Venser.

Also, when I was reading the Lorwyn novels, I for some reason always imagined Nath as Jason Isaacs.

Edit: Oh, and Christopher Lee must provide the voice of Bolas.

If he played Sorin like he played the villain in Leon that would be the greatest thing ever.

Partial spoilers for FTV Realms are go! Dryad Arbor has some sexy new art, too!

That shit looks awesome, but I am heavily disappointed by the lack of new Urborg Art. sad

That stuff's been on Facebook for a while.

But yes, new Dryad Arbor is amazing, and I appreciate new Grove of the Burnwillows because it's futureshifted (though I think Horizon Canopy would've been more deserving — not that it can't still be there of course).

I guess it is.

Here's hoping for a new River of Tears or a new Nimbus Maze.

Those are fine too, but Horizon Canopy actually sees play in Modern and Legacy. (Grove also sees Modern play I guess, and Realms was probably put together before Punishing Fire was banned.)

I guess it is.
