Which card is Yawg 3.0 again?
This is cool:
What plane is this?

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
lol i did that again
Considering giving red more access to temporary, one-turn resurrection.
I have AutocardAnywhere enabled on NeoGAF so I don't have to constantly google cards that come up in this thread, and I use NeoGAF Quick Quote, Reply and Edit to get a post box at the end of the page... which I guess works by scraping the screen, and therefore picks up the version with the Autocard links already applied when I quote a post? But I didn't notice because... I have AutocardAnywhere on so I expect to see random TCGplayer links everwhere. ¯\_(ツ_/¯
I couldn't tell if I picked up some malware somewhere, but it seemed like super overly specific malware haha

Art is good again. It's a miracle.

It's kind of annoying that I'm randomly in Philadelphia but I won't be at the Open this weekend -_-

that's fantastic, cryptic command lite
Strictly better than Jace's Ingenuity
I wonder if the switching of the block structure forced them to kind of take what they could get for a lot of stuff, until they can adjust.
Yeah, I got linked to the wrong page.
I guess I'm playing on Saturday now?

The UG deck is somewhat snake tribal.
I wonder when we'll get a counter that says. "Counter a chosen mode of target spell"

Easier to cast Giants probably.

I think its there to deliberately look and play like Cryptic Command while not being Cryptic Command.
Are you from Philly? I live in Manayunk and recently got into magic and I'm looking for more people to play with. I'll be stopping by the SCG tournament to pick up my cards for the modern deck I'm building.

Why is sire of stagnation UB, you can only play 1 land destruction in his colors.

That's pretty interesting, and the odd name for the token makes sense now.

where are the mythics?
¯\_(ツ
My understanding is that the only mythic rares printed in these products are the commanders themselves.

That card is awful against the GB deck

Or maybe giving that player a free death each of their turns will make them less likely to hurt you.

Update on that MTGIsland.com store thing. The guy eventually got back to me, so they didn't go under. I've ordered from them a bunch of times and it's always been fine. He waived the shipping due to his late response, which was nice.
They ship out of Toronto and have generally good prices on stuff, in my experience, so if you're in Canada, it's a good option. He lists prices in USD, but you can have it show in CAN, if you want.

Last year there were random Mythic Wurmcoil Engines, several of them had Titans and Bogardan Hellkites, etc.

With pre-made products like these, I am not sure I like the way Wizards is going about the spoilers. Since the decks are pre-constructed anyway, and people need to make decisions about their purchases ahead of time, it's really not all that helpful to have the information trickle out so slowly. I would most definitely like to have full decklists by now because I will need to allocate up to $150 for these decks, but not if the value isn't there.

Mods and their fancy toys...
These are both things you can get on the Chrome Store!
With Origins the problem was clearly that they had to fill out a ton of art on very short notice so they scraped the barrel, and my hope was that the problems with BFZ were a carryover from that. If you look through the whole set it's not even close to true that all the art's bad (and it's quite a bit better than Origins on average). Instead there's really just two percentages that are off: there's a greater percentage of artists that just suck than usual, and a greater percentage of images from long-time artists that seem tossed-off (like Sylvan Scrying from the normally reliable Daniel Ljunggren.) That definitely could just be overworked art director staff/freelance illustrators.
There's already a new card with Living Weapon.
Ah I forgot about that one. Dang. Too bad.
I just love me some Batterskulls. I probably have like 8.

Typhoid Rat has good THAC0.
Would it have been too broken if it was just plain Counterspell?
Of course a fellow Izzet mage would remember that card. I really wanted to make it work back when it was in standard, but of course it just wasn't meant to happen since it was too slow and clunky to do anything.
Someday I'll finish building a decent but not OP Jhoira commander deck, but then I'll have to look for people in my area that'd actually be into the format...

Think I'm gonna run Abzan this weekend. I only got 1 Gideon tho, just gonna run Sorins instead. I'll test it out at FNM tomorrow before the PPTQ on Saturday.
I imagine it's even worse for store owners, who had to place orders for these decks without any knowledge of what would be in them, or how excited players would be. If we see a legacy playable or expensive reprint spoiled at the last second, supplies are going to dry up fast. If not, these will be sitting on shelves for a long time.
Good luck! Modern allies is a hilariously fun deck.

wtf?
That's not an uncommon. Well it hits your own too but still

Move lightning greaves onto it asap!
So...
-Kills every planeswalker on the board
-Activates Dark Depths
-Shuts off Animar in black
-Kills all of the 0/0 commanders that ETB with counters
-Destroys a number of commander-staple creatures
-Turns off Vivid lands
And then comes in as a massive flyer? In addition to being a perfect card to pod in and out of in G/B?
Starting to wish I still had a casual commander playgroup. A lot of these new designs are beautiful, but probably not good enough to run against the cutthroat players at my LGS and school.

Rarity for the new cards is purely decided by how many decks the cards are in. If it's only it one deck, it's a rare (or Mythic if it's one of the Commanders), if it's in 2-3 decks it's an Uncommon, and if it's in 4-5 of the decks it's a common. Complexity/Power has nothing to do with rarity in this set, but it does look strange at first glance
