"God's Beard" better not watch the video of the SDCC panel or he'll see some kid get a Liliana signed by Karla Ortiz and die of jealousy.

Two things
* I feel like it would make more sense to have the topic in OT during the spoiler weeks, since that's where all the news is.
* Since part of the goal is to bring in new people, the OP would have to be overhauled both to better introduce the game and direct people to the point where discussion of the new block starts. Not sure if I want to put this burden on The Technomancer.
Otherwise, I'm fine with that deal.

So here's a sentence I didn't think I'd read: "Abzan Ascendancy + Evolutionary Leap is just retarded. I have a feeling by posting this list I might be leaking a few pro teams secret tech"
I had this "tech" in my troll Abzan Elves deck.

Seems pretty good, but you're gonna have to run a ton of 1-2 drops... which I guess is ok

We could break off from |OT4| early if someone wants to do the heavy lifting to put that kind of OP together.

You know, I seem to remember that she allows for fans to mail her cards for signature. It may have been some time ago. Maybe just email her and see?

Went to get two intro packs for my GF and me since we're away for the weekend and got a Chandra and Archangel out of 2 boosters from the same intro pack. Pretty happy when we pulled those.
I have to say that we've been having a ton of fun playing the decks against each other (bought the Thopter and the Elf one).

MTGO streamer event last night. Holiday Cube. Scotty Mac drafts a Storm deck with Brain Freeze as the only win condition. He plays against Kenji, who figures this out due to winning game one with Sword of Body and Mind, and in game three decides to board in 1200 lands. :lol

That was amazing.
First FNM after the new set comes out, always feels like no one knows what they are doing and just throw 1 or 2 random cards they opened at pre release into the decks they played last week.
If I had my choice I would just draft the first 2 or 3 Fridays the new set comes out. I hate buying cards during this time because I draft alot and will probably end up with 1 or 2 copies of any rare/mythic the set has to offer.

Someone who gets on a camera and acts a certain way for money?
My interview on the subject is in the OT here.

Magic Origins survey, so you can feel free to alert Wizards to how bad some of the art is.

Still not what a camwhore means though. Can't call an actor a prostitute because they get paid to pretend to have sex, guys.

More importantly than the phrases I use to express my distaste for a person, why aren't we playing on Cockatrice right now?

Cause I'm at work and won't be home for an hour and half. I wish I was a camwhore, tbh.

Well I let them know, along with a few choice comments about the planeswalkers.
I mean, is anyone ever going to activate Jace's ultimate ever?
From my experience with Walmart in rural Ohio, they have them at release at midnight, so unless they're sold out or my particular Walmarts are superstars at getting product, you should be good to go.

Casuals love mill. It's bound to happen.
Took me awhile to narrow down my favorite card from the set, but I finally settled on Scab-Clan Berserker.

Four turns of giving something -2/-0? Nah, its not

You'd be surprised. Jace is pretty good.

I'm sure he's good, but no-one's ever going to get him to his ultimate and even if he does he's never going to win the game with it.

So Day's Undoing plus Sphinx's Tutelage is a troll mill deck.
Done.
Most recent one that happened a lot was probably Elspeth's. Ugin probably hits a decent amount of the time too.

Elspeth and Jace, Architect of Thought's both hit a lot. Also Jace the Mind Sculptor.
There's also that Doubling Season deck in Modern to chain Ultimates.

Elspeth and Ugin as mentioned. Original Garruk. Kiora's was a bitch to get off but at least it actually meaningfully basically won you the game. New Sorin also.
They're not all awful.

Turn 2 Eidolon of the Great Revel, Turn 3 Scab-Clan Berserker.

JAOT was only made possible because of Planar Cleansing Sphinx's Revelation durdle draw go. JTMS was practically impossible when bloodbraid, pulse and blightning were legal. I've only seen it happen once. In the next block, yeah, I suppose. Didn't hurt that Gideon was a great partner.
I don't find Elspeth's and White Sorin's ultimate to be that rad. Kiora's, never seen it happen. Garruk is great. That I agree with. Still the OG GOAT green pw.

Yay, more Jace, what everyone wanted
To be fair, this isn't too different from how it was, and it makes sense now that they can't reprint the same characters in core sets.
