Friend of mine:
Seriously though, I love this sword. While its obviously not exactly the same as Nacatl War Pride it plays around in a similar space and I've always loved the shit out of Nacatl War Pride

I wonder if it'll still be 1 DFC per pack or if the printing improvements they made that let them do the Origins Walkers will let them be in the normal card slots.
Pretty interesting.
MTG lore isn't exactly nuanced and complex so I would be not surprised at all if this theory turned out to be true.
Magic has always used "his or her" when referring to a single other player. It's part of their style guide.What happened to "their", nice and quick and gender neutral
What makes me so crazy about this theory is that it's like entire worlds worse than the worst writing we've had in the new-planes era -- and the worst writing in that period is pretty bad!
Why would Sorin, a pre-mending walker with essentially infinite power, need to transform another planeswalker into a guardian angel when he explicitly could just make one out of thin air? How does he do that without the other person's consent when they are also a planeswalker with infinite power? What would make him think that this is a good way to make use of Nahiri in the first place given how useful she was in tackling the Eldrazi problem as herself? Why would this step transform her from someone with magic related to stones, equipment, and containment into someone with magic related to healing, cleansing, and invulnerability? How is the timeline supposed to work when we know Nahiri was still active on Zendikar a thousand years ago? If Avacyn is Nahiri then why did Sorin expect to see her show up on Zendikar when he went to wait for her in ZEN? Or why didn't he pick her up at the end of Avacyn Restored, since in the storyline he's explicitly still on the plane after she gets freed and his exact reason for leaving is to go deal with the Eldrazi?
This whole thing just reminds me of all the idiotic "Squall is dead!" type fan theories you see on Buzzfeed where someone picks out a few random things that sort of feel connected in a movie and use it to create an elaborate theory that would transform the entire meaning of the film, at the expense of making no sense, having no thematic coherency, and being almost impossible to tease out in a normal viewing.
Unrelatedly: looking up details to write this rant has reminded me that maybe we'll see Sorin's pops Edgar in SOI, since he's still alive and King Shit of Vampire Mountain.

I feel like I've read this exact same post before. :lol-snip-
-There will be non-SCG vendors at ALL OpensDue to increasing logistic complexities and rising costs, we do not expect to host many Open Weekends in the western half of the U.S. in 2016.
Star City just announced some big changes to their Open Series
http://www.starcitygames.com/magic/misc/31833_.html
-"SCG Tour" is now the umbrella that Opens, Invitationals, Regionals, IQs fall under
-There will be less events overall
-You are out of luck if you don't live on the East Coast
-There will be non-SCG vendors at ALL Opens
-Similar to GPs, there will be Artists at every event, and a "Robust" Side event schedule. They will be using a Prize Wall like some GPs have been doing at all events.
- Winning an SCG Invitational gets you qualified for the Pro Tour and a plane ticket
- No Legacy at the Invitational
Cool and oof, respectively.
Legacy is dead.
Been that way for a while
Magic has always used "his or her" when referring to a single other player. It's part of their style guide.
Now it's time to print Wasteland, Stifle, and Force of Will into Modern and take the leashes off of the banned list!
Wow their's actually 700 cards with that phrasing, all that wasted space.
Stifle would be great in modern. The others... not so much.
Isn't it grammatically correct in the way that they do it, though?

Why Trickbind when you can play Shadow of Doubt? It's basically an instant Sinkhole with cantrip!Trickbind on a Fetch is still funny to me =(

Currently accruing cards for this deck, seems like an awesome place to start playing Modern: http://www.mtggoldfish.com/articles/budget-magic-84-6-tix-modern-uw-tempered-steel
If anyone has some of the more expensive lands from this list that they are looking to sell, definitely let me know.
The main advantage that Shadow of Doubt has over those other cards is that you can cycle it away when you don't need it/want it.
That's definitely a good place to start! That one should be able to stay effective at all points on the curve as you gradually upgrade your way to the true Affinity deck. If you happen to have Hangarback Walkers from Standard play definitely put those in. Hangarback dying into Thopters when you have Tempered Steel out is a pretty big game.
The issue here is with them getting rid of the two day system. Legacy excludes too many players.

Do you mean Modern? Shocks aren't standard legal.
you fucking monster
This isn't even fair anymore.
IDK if this has been mentioned yet but G/U snake and G/B sac insect aren't the main legendaries for their respective commander decks - G/U gets Phyrexian Ezuri and G/B gets some death/sacrifice-based reanimator thing
They haven't been spoiled but the descriptions for the decks are up on the website.
The Black/Green legend, Meren of Clan Nel Toth, is from one of the Jund clans of Alara. The clan is mentioned in Scarland Thrinax's flavor text.IDK if this has been mentioned yet but G/U snake and G/B sac insect aren't the main legendaries for their respective commander decks - G/U gets Phyrexian Ezuri and G/B gets some death/sacrifice-based reanimator thing

There's multiple legends for each deck right? Didn't they start doing that in 2014 so that you could play with a different commander?
No, they've been doing that since the very first set of commander decks in 2011. Every commander deck has had two new legendary creatures and one old one that could be used as the deck's general.There's multiple legends for each deck right?

I'm still waiting for the day oozes get a lord of their own, since I have a small ooze collection and like fitting them in decks (unless they're the boring kind that do nothing besides growing large).
I just feel in the Force that they want to bring back Tibbles as not horrible.
I would expect the serious answer to be: "Creative retconned how good Pre-Mending Planeswalkers were." Seriously.
I feel like I've read this exact same post before. :lol

The story page has descriptions of all the commanders.
