Thanks, will save that for when I get the cards.
Heck yeah LSV commentary.
Though I will have to tape delay some PT results tomorrow since I am running a Pathfinder game and teaching another friend Magic before Game of Thrones.
He said it as a joke when they were trying to figure out what someone could play to block a protection from creatures guy. It wasn't a screw up.
Ah, I heard secondhand via MTGS.

So I'm finally catching up on the coverage of the PT (it happened overnight for us here in Australia).
This is painful. They should have banned Sphinx's Revelation in block. I like myself a control mirror, but...damn.

Didn't they print a hard counter for it? Thought it was the same colour lol.

Counterflux. It's in Blue/Red.
DGM is nothing but cards aimed at hosing it, lol.
There are a lot of really powerful cards/bombs at higher cost, which leads to people playing towards a "slower" format...but aggro beats still do the trick. Naya (GRW) in particular is very strong. Make sure you pick up the fixing you need, at least 1 or 2 guildgates at least, a keyrune or verdant haven if u can, cluestone if not. A lot of really interesting synergies that can occur in the set as well if you want to explore a little slower deck, for example keymaster rogue or species gorger with azorius arrester/lyev skyknight (stuff that detains on ETB)... corpsejack menace and simic, renegade krasis and rakdos, that sort of thing.
So this is probably the third time Maro has recently answered a question on his tumblr regarding the Onslaught fetchlands being reprinted. I would venture to state that they'll be in m14.

Yup. Been trying to explain to people that it's not his answers that matter- it's which questions he chooses to answer that reveals the future.
Just did a DGM/DGM/DGM draft on MTGO and had the nicest deck I've had in a while- only problem is it's my first time going 3-color in this set. Got mana screwed so bad! Was doing R/W/B with 4-5 gates. Maybe I needed stones as well? Had Tajic staring at me from my hand every game.
In reference to what? What was the question (or topic of conversation)?

Holy shit, what a monster of a 2 drop.

Put this in my Naya deck and my opponent was so afraid to cast any counters with his Dmir deck. By turn 6 I already had 3 tokens with 3/3, 4/4, and 5/5. I love that card.

Wouldn't you just have 3 tokens with 5/5?
As robotzombie says the tokens should all have the same stats, it changes dynamically.

If that's the case, it's time to invest in a case of Deathrite Shaman.
God that would be amazing, even if it's just the the Onslaught ones. I certainly wouldn't mind having a Standard format with all the duals and at least half the fetches.

It's inevitable, but I actually think Kirblar's original prediction is probably correct: it's an M15 reprint. Three months of them with the Ravnica duals sounds great; a year sounds insane.
M15 is what I've expected for a while, but a man can dream.
Well that is news to me! I thought it was only as it was entering the battlefield. I didn't know it was dynamic.
It's already magical christmasland with the mana, fetchlands would at least add some punishment to peoples health totals for it.
Deathrite Shaman is already close to oppressive in Modern taking that into Standard as well seems like a mistake.
That defeats the purpose of reprinting them for Modern.
Huh yeah I guess.
I was thinking about what standard control deck to brew post rotation and I was thinking about base black splashing everything which Deathrite would fit in. Hopefully they reprint Mutilate as if Block is representative of anything -X/-X is much better against all the indestructible tricks.

....this will work well with werewolves.
I had the same thought
New art sucks but hopefully this brings the price down from where they are currently.
Also today's dailymtg.com article by MaRo is entirely dedicated to talking about dual lands. While not directly supporting of fetchlands in the next year or so, I do think it's pretty interesting that he waited until now to talk so in length about lands in general.

Oh boy Dark Confidant is a mythic is a limited print run set. AWESOME!
Congrats to ultron87 for getting his card into the second round though it's kind of awkward that his opponent ended up being disqualified. >_>
FUCKEVERYTHING 
Though I'd be lying if I said I didn't expect this.

Wow. The article for Dark Confidant on the mothership just plugged the main competitor to our store.
