Still salty over all the trash we got instead of blessed alliance.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
They have pretty wide discretion on how to hand those out. I sometimes get them for showing up.

Heh WotC thinks there's improvise players. They should have considered printing some actually useful artifacts that aren't spin to win or want to turn sideways on their own.
Someone didn't want to have long rounds.

Wow, Palumbo did a good job with this one. The cape in the wind is stunning. You can actually see the "rallying" going on in this piece.
Looks like 2017 will be a good year for FNM promos.

Vehicles are here to stay, just like Equipment. Few pieces a set, probably powered down close to unplayable.

it's funny that in the same article he explained that cycling doesn't make evergree because there's only so much room for evergreen mechanics and the barrier of entry they present.
I've had to explain to a lot of modern players how crew works when I play my copters.
I don't think development cut them and design was finished when the rotation changed.

He's technically correct, if you needed to axe vehicles due to OPOPness, this wasn't an issue due to the rotation change.

All the vehicles are self propelling.
For instance a sailing ship would work as a vehicle while a rowing boat would not.

I would argue that's more the nature of the plane than an infallible requirement Wizards has assigned to them. Kaladesh has aether and a futuristic, automation slant. Vehicles on other planes wouldn't necessarily conform to the same rules and a chariot makes perfect flavor sense for an Egyptian plane.

Eh I hope they don't go down that route especially since we already have a couple of these
I even made sure to use examples that don't use mechanics from a steampunk plane.

Right Ravnica is the steampunk plane.

Some of us still haven't accepted the removal of the æ ligature.
Not going, but I haven't kept up with Modern recently and need to prep for Vegas alongside legacy. Would be interested in hearing what the meta is like these days during/after the tourney.
Probably just going to test/refine/take Grixis shadow to vegas, but I'm still a little open.

right, I don't have to worry about aether vial reprints because they'll always be inferior to Darksteel ones.

From basically everything I've seen, Death's Shadow(Specifically Grixis)/Eldrazi Tron/Abzan CoCo are currently superstrong. Dredge/Affinity need answers in the sideboard or they will roll you for not respecting them.
Basically, I would not play a big Modern event without partial answers to Tron/Death's Shadow/Abzan CoCo in the main. Aka, Fulminantor Mage is amazing right now, and I'd probably be running a full set of Surgical Extraction if I could.

he does unsuccessfully. There was mention of scummy behaviour involving that as well
He's been a shithead on the periphary of the MTG community for ages. He's loathed.
I think I'll bite as well but I don't know how the hell I'd offload them if I want to. My LGS isn't super competitive and don't do trade ins for non-standard stuff (to the store). I don't really do e-bay but I guess that's the only other option.

There's a saying that goes something like "comedy equals tragedy plus time." The difference between being a comedian and an edgelord is knowing (and caring about) how long that takes.
Mind sharing who? Interested in seeing this trainwreck

Anyone here happen to have a Cavern of Souls or a Temporal Mastery from MM3 and access to a decent scanner?
Look at literally anybody's twitter from today, lol.

Why aren't more people running Dispossess in their sideboard? Wouldn't that beat out marvel and get rid of gearhulks or am I missing something here?
these any good? http://imgur.com/a/jnDOe

it does but it's also a card that doesn't develop the board at all so you might just lose anyways. It's very good but not an auto win.

It doesn't apply to artifacts already in play on the board does it?

As others have said, to get Marvel with it you need it in your starting hand, which means either devoting a significant number of deck slots to it or mulling very aggressively to find it. It's not out of the question, but it's not perfect.
It (hypothetically) works well against Control decks, but obviously you have to worry about it getting countered, or just falling so behind board that they counter everything else even after you dispossess the Gearhulks and losing to a Confiscated creature or some similarly dragged-out beating.

Should I get my hair cut like this token
Do you live in a post-apocalyptic wasteland or in an Egyptian city ruled by gods where everyone has to participate in a deadly game? If not, you should probably just go with a normal hair cut.

HasCon passes just went up and holy shit that's expensive
Adult One Day $60.00
Adult Three Day $165.00
Super Fan 3-Day VIP Ticket $642.00 [More Info]
Super Fan - Magic: The Gathering 3-Day VIP Ticket $642.00 [More Info]
Super Fan - Dungeons & Dragons 3-Day VIP Ticket $642.00 [More Info]
VIP ticket comes with the following:
Three MAGIC: THE GATHERING cards made especially for HASCON featuring a mashup of MAGIC: THE GATHERING and three awesome HASBRO brands!
One entry into the MAGIC: THE GATHERING 25th Anniversary party featuring MAGIC: THE GATHERING celebrities, Ixalan preview cards and, of course, birthday cake!
A Goodie Bag including six booster packs, Ultra Pro merchandise, HASCON merchandise and more!
Entry into one VIP-only autograph session with Mark Rosewater, Aleksi Briclot, Tyler Jacobson and more!
Access to the Dunkin' Donuts Center VIP Lounge, featuring comfy chairs, charging stations, light snacks, water, and more!
A reserved seat for the MAGIC: THE GATHERING 25th Anniversary panel featuring stories and surprises from the MAGIC: THE GATHERING brand's past, present, and future!

Reserved Theater Seating – Receive a guaranteed reserved Main Panel Seat in the HASCON theater. (Limited to one seat for one event per day.).
Multiple drafts of iconic masters will be firing, and those are not exclusive to the VIP pass, but they're $60 per draft.
Also we still have no clue about events/VIPs, and it's three months out. As tempting as it is to spend $650 to get some cards with print runs that are likely in Summer Magic territory, I'm gonna have to miss this one. I'll probably regret it when the inevitable MLP crossover card ebays for more than the ticket cost.

Goddamn, so that's minimum $120 if you want to go to the prerelease? Not a chance. And man, those three crossover cards are tempting to try and flip, but not $600 tempting. Not rolling the dice on that.
Too bad, I was actually considering it. That blind prerelease would be such a cool experience.

I was 100% on going - it's in driving distance - but I never would've expected it to be that expensive. Not sure how they're justifying a small first-year convention costing more than PAX east, not to mention drafts not coming with a badge (and being significantly more than retail price.)
