Magic: The Gathering (Unreleased Sets)

I might be late to the party, but until I saw Unlikely Aid I never realised how fucking huge Rakdos was.

(Sees "Sarkhan the Masterless")

SARKHAN!?

O.K, he's the last bastard I'd expect see here.

Edit: So, about Gideon's afterlife-

Heartwarming Redemption

Japanese Alternate-Art Planeswalkers

Full arts of those. They are funny in more ways than one.

My prerelease deck.

I went Bant, and I ended up with a 2-3-1 record for the day. My promos were Vivien's Arkbow and Dovin, Hand of Control.

New Story.

Magic Story: ''War of the Spark: Ravnica - The Path to Opulent

Also, a note to start the story;

And the previous story overlaps with chapters 1-18.

I've been reading the novelization. I got it on the same day the set came out, and I've been reading a chapter a day since then, and I've read chapters 1-12. The novel starts with a Dramatis Personae of the major Planeswalker characters and brief descriptions of the Guilds. But while there are a lot of chapters, they are all rather short.

So, it looks like both the website and the novel are telling the same story, but from different perspectives. The website has Rat as a First-Person Peripheral Narrator, while the novel is third-person Switching P.O.V. among the Planeswalkers.

Gideon always wanted to be the hero...

so he could never pull off Slay The Dragon... least he remembered the other fundamental always Save The Girl

Too bad Gideon forgot what happened the last time he thought he could kill a god with a single dramatic strike with a magic weapon.

Bolas is worse than a god. The actual Therosian god who knows about Bolas is scared of him, and there's also the shit he pulled in Amonkhet.

Bolas did kinda sucker him into thinking it would work with the Long Con

Last Friday's Mothership preview card was Fallen Shinobi. There's something to consider for my Ninja deck.

Anyway, here's today's;

Making Magic: Modern Life, featuring Yawgmoth, Thran Physician

Yes, Yawgmoth has a card now!

I do like the way Yawgmoth is designed. His mechanics suit him well: Sacrificing creatures to start what is essentially an incurable plague (-1/-1 counters he can proliferate) which comes with a card draw (showing how he gains knowledge from such "experimentation") and the Protection from Humans to show how isolated he becomes from the rest of humanity.

Also none of his abilities require tapping so he happily keeps working as long as you provide fresh bodies.

Reddest. Card. Ever. It took me a while to digest what it does.

I like it!

Magic Story: War of the Spark: Ravnica - Desperate Operatives

MTG cartoon series incoming, by the directors of the Avengers moveis.

Oh good, the Russos! I have the utmost trust in them. I can't wait for them to dance around Nissa and Chandra's sexuality for diversity points but never confirm anything, kill off female heroes for shock value and to "motivate" their male counterparts, and have their characters make incredibly morally unsound decisions, with no repercussions. Oh and don't forget turning Kytheon's dramatic reunion with the irregulars into an "eat a salad" joke.

Sorry, I'm just a little bit bitter about how much worse the avengers movies are compared to the rest of the MCU.

...Same post in a different topic...

Are you just posting around to complain nonstop about the Russos not doing things the way you'd like?

So wait, are all of the different War of the Spark things going to be taking place during the same event?

Cool.

EDIT: Wait, no, misinterpreted. I thought those were all different books, but they're website stories.

But yeah Dude, you need to chill. Just because you didn't like the stuff happening in Endgame doesn't mean the Russos are bad. They're only "worse than the rest of the MCU" in your own mind.
