Wow, these uncommon dragons are fucking cool. Somehow they got more interesting and creative effects than the rarer ones.

I'm kind of confused that the uncommon gold dragons are cooler than the rare gold dragons, but I'm not complaining.

Honestly the rare gold dragons are fairly cool as well, its the elder dragons that I find disappointing.
I liked what they did with the first 3 released, which had clear "screw you" effects towards the opponent, but then the other 2 were much more vanilla.

...this is going to be the weirdest limited format ever. every draft is going to feel like a sealed

What the fuck would sealed feel like then?
I mean as long as the common removal suite is plentiful and can actually handle the bombs we should be mostly ok. I really don't like that basically ALL the dragons cost 3464513634 mana though :/

Jeez, those uncommon gold dragons are crazy! The monocolored uncommons seem boring, though, especially since they all have the same effect when flipped. And Collected Company is a really interesting and powerful effect. Even if you hit nothing but a single Elvish Mystic, that's still not too bad. Hidden Dragonslayer will be good in limited, but not much else.

Oh yeah, that is a thing that can happen, isn't it...

Got completely destroyed at FNM. Went 4-0-1 at the stupid SCG trial thing last week with the exact same deck (which is meaningless, there's just more players). I just gave up on game 3 instead of bothering to mull to 5 against Control. There's no way I'd win and it would take forever to lose. I went to a bar instead. Always a good decision.

I was playing around with a neat looking Esper list that I saw posted from Japan.
I was thinking of changing it up a tad, and jamming in Lili...
What do you think of the deck, either with or without Liliana?

Still can't hold a candle to the reigning champ of lazy card names.
Believe it or not, it's highly likely that Giant Ambush Beetle is a sort-of subtle YuGiOh parody/homage.
The quoted post at the top of this page provides the argument.

So, is there any chance that this card will see Constructed play?
While it does require reaching six mana (in green of all colors, how is that possible?), you effectively have at least 12 mana available to you next turn if you attack with it, even if it dies during combat.

Never say never.
I lost to Abzan once as Twin despite the guy mulling to 5 and being stuck on 2 lands for 6 turns while I hit all my land drops.
By "soon" you mean "a year from now", right?

Yeah but my deck has no ridiculous 2 card instant win and he kept 7. I guess I coulda drawn to see if my hand was nothing but land and Thoughtseize, but meh, he can have that win.
I think the chances of a win on a mull to 5 are like 5% or something.
Never saying never is a great way to make Magic super not-fun really fast, actually. If you can't win a game, prolonging it doesn't make things fun for you or your opponent, tbh.
MM2 doesn't even matter to me after the MSRP was announced. Making shitty limited cards mythics in $10 packs is gross.
Because of the MSRP on those packs and the limited nature of the printing I have a hard time believing that MM2 will actually affect prices of Rare/Mythics in the set to any significant degree.
Wasn't Khans of Tarkir supposed to retire by the launch of origins or zenidkar?

Yeah, printing Goyf and making packs 10 bucks is a hell of a gamble. They're really counting on people really needing to play the limited format. 10 bucks a pack seemed pretty defensible if rares are modern staple necessities and mythics be....well, shit anything besides Goyf, tbh.
Giants and Kamigawa dragons ain't gonna cut it at 10 bucks a pack and the card that everybody wants at mythic.

The diagram they showed describing the new block layout had Khans in Standard along with the next Standard block (now known to be Zendikar). Unless Origins and Magic 2016 (those are still two different products right?) are going to be considered a block for standard purposes in which case Khans block would be in Standard until Zendikar hit.
EDIT: Image inserted
So is Origins just the Magic 2016 set under a different name?
Edit: Googled like a non-lazy fuck and figured out that 2016=Origins. Was curious about that. For some reason I had Origins as Conspiracy for this year in my head. Obviously that's MM2015.

It's a damn shame that we're stuck with Theros for a while longer. Also, Stormbreath is still the best dragon, right?

I can think of one way to spend that mana...
Oh damn, that could actually work! Although,
1: 1 Forest, Elvish Mystic
2: 1 Forest/Mountain, 2 lands + EM = Shaman of Forgotten Ways
3: 1 Forest/Mountain, 3 lands + EM + SFW = Savage Ventmaw
4: 1 Forest/Mountain, attack with Savage Ventmaw, 4 lands + EM + SV = 11 mana. However, though you have the exact amount of mana, you don't quite have the 8 power needed to activate Formidable.
So, at best, this would be a turn 5 win. Still very cool, though.

This feature match at GP Miami is miserable.

Mastery of the Unseen + Nykthos + Voyaging Satyr.
The upside-down cards are manifests. They're shown face-up because they were all revealed via Courser of Kruphix.
Jawdropping.

Sam is going to win this game by picking up his Polukranos with Temur Sabertooth, recasting it, and re-activating Monstrosity over and over again to clear Michael's board.

Throw in 2 copies of this guy as well with collected company and that can speed it up.

Someone's gonna have to talk me off the ledge of Sarkhan Unbroken, Thunderbreak Regent and Stormbreath in one glorious flying lizard deck.
