I actually agree. Meren's art is pretty sweet.
My best friend lost all his cards in a house fire. His EDH deck was a GB reanimate deck. I'm going to try and rebuild it for him for Xmas. She would go perfect in it.

I was talking about the other art used throughout the story, from the Alara block.
The Magus of the Wheel? It's been posted several times. It is.
If you need them for playing Legacy, definitely a good idea. I think the Strand/Rainforest might spike higher long term if you're looking to invest. Just a matter of priorities.

I traded off my Misty Rainforest to pick up Liliana of the Veils. Yes, she's totally getting a MMA3 reprint, no, I don't expect it to crater prices in the least. I guess I could end up being sad if she saw a SOI reprint, but I more suspect everyone else will be sad when she isn't.

That should make some dumb stuff happen. Also, wrath protection!
Oh hey, Mecha Masticore head.

So... your creatures you exile initially stay exiled?
Yeah. Keeping up with the flavor appropriate exiling from Curse of the Swine.

Yeah, it's a Polymorph effect.

I honestly can't believe how much the "Usual Drafters" hate BFZ. Marhsall has two whole drafts up. Kenji is leading the charge with 4.
LSV has posts ABOUT drafting BFZ, but no actual videos of him doing it.
Like... It's actually annoying me. All these guys / girls have multiples of Origins, but basically zero of Battle for Zendikar.

So basically put a bunch of tokens out and just have a bunch of indestructible beaters as your only creatures.

It's basically tailor-made for Talrand EDH decks.

It's an instant (and delayed) version of this card.
Is that what happened? I just saw the post on Facebook but there is nothing saying what he actually did besides it being in stream.
No but its modern variants do now.

I enjoyed Origins draft, but BFZ draft is meh-city.

So Travis Woo got shitcanned for his "Sympathy for Hitler" rant, and a bunch of pros are mad about the "internet witch hunt." Are internet witch hunts a problem? Sometimes, but goddamn is Travis Woo's sympathy for what Hitler was trying to do is not the fucking hill you want to die on.

I mean where I live that'd have been punishable by law.
Apparently it was presented in hypotheticals, but twoo is nuts so I can't really say what I think he actually believes.
In other news, I am not having fun playing Jund in modern, so I'll be playing Taking Turns at GP Pittsburgh for the laughs. Might as well have fun if I know I won't do well.
I like how the "no witch hunts" brigade comes out even when there was nothing resembling a witch hunt.
There were zero posts about TWoo's holocaust denial stream on reddit last night, and when I googled "TWoo Holocaust" to figure out what the fuck was going on, the top result was this thread. To top it off, no one here posted about how CFB should let him go for his idiotic comments, we were just (rightfully) calling him a crazy asshole.
The closest thing to a witch hunt going on is the angry posturing against CFB for "violating TWoo's Free Speech." Because apparently ChannelFireball is a government entity now.

It'll be golden in my monoblue Polymorph deck. There's a similar card (Mass Polymorph) but it's a sorcery, so, infinitely less flexible.

I mean, on some level I feel bad for Woo because he is and always has been, clearly a loon and I legit don't think he meant harm. I think he's just kind of an idiot with a ton of dumb, unfiltered ideas floating through his head (see: walking up stairs backwards videos).

Woo has been getting progressively more and more unhinged over the years - a literal descent into madness. I mean this next statement with sympathy and not malice - I think there's a good chance he's legitimately suffering from some sort of psychological/mental disorder.

I always got the impression he's perpetually high on increasing amounts of very powerful marijuana.
This ran through my head earlier as well. Hopefully he has people watching his back right now.

The comments on the Facebook post are just weird. Not like, overly offensive from what I saw, just people who don't seem to understand how the world works?
Seeing that Treefolk spoiler has me considering if I want to add Splinter Twin/Kiki-Jiki combo to my Cube or if its too douchey. It's getting spread out between more and more colors and cards every year it seems.
I was wondering what Finkel was talking about on twitter. This gives some context.
Internet denizens have no understanding of what free speech actually is. It's pretty hilarious <3

Grimace is probably right.
I used to wonder why he streamed shirtless all the time.
Here is the official word btw

Whaaaat? On the Internet? No.
Well, okay, yes, I'm just surprised that in 2015 there are still people who don't get "your employer might fire you if you say offensive shit in public". Its not even like there was some kind of petition or group outcry for his removal to rail against, its literally just CFB responding to the comments immediately after they happen with "yeah, not cool"

I actually think most of the people just read CFB's post, didn't bother to listen to what Woo actually said, and jumped to defend him based on CFB's (correctly) vague announcement.

The biggest problem with these things is it exposes how many pros and other content producers are actually entitled idiots.
We had like 4 of them thrown in that pile with the Magic Rapist, like 4 from Tarmogoyf Raredrafting and now a couple more with Travis Woo Defends Hitler.

This does seem possible. TWoo was an energetic and positive person when he started streaming. He constantly talked about the importance of positivity and regular self-improvement.
At some point, his personality did a complete 180. If mental illness is the issue here, I hope he gets the help he needs soon.

I still don't see the issue with the foil tarmogoyf.
and yeah banning a convicted rapist who served for his crime isn't the nicest thing but WoTC has to be careful of their public image so I understand them.
