Random thought. The fact that Cruel Revival is being reprinted makes me wonder if perhaps the Dominaria part of Magic Origins will specifically take place during the events of Onslaught and such, with the Cabal still around. Of course, they could always give it new art and flavor, but Liliana's spark ignited long before the "present day" of Magic, so they may as well have that be during a time period already covered by Magic.
EDIT: MaRo mentioned that there was one creature with protection in Origins. Could it be an Akroma reprint?

Nah, its Baneslayer Angel.

Oh yeah, that is a card. Before I reached my Akroma conclusion, I figured that the one protection creature would either be White Knight or Black Knight, even if it wouldn't make much sense to have one without the other (though they did do that before).

I would just consider Baneslayer way more likely just because Baneslayer is actually playable and Akroma isn't really.
The only card with protection in Tarkir block was Feat of Resistance anyways. Its been out of favor for a while.

And Center Soul.
It makes completely sense on a combat trick; it's just a real feel-bad on a permanent.
Also Baneslayer seems like the perfect card to print into Standard if you're worried about Dragons being too good.

I guess Firemind decided to try Blood Moon against Tron.
I know we aren't in spoiler season yet, but after yesterday, I'm still sad there is nothing on the mothership today

I'm guessing it's an Epochrasite situation- he's sitting in exile, waiting for the time counters to come off before he returns :3

That does usually make you lose, yes.

He tried to post but then a mod hit it with:
I feel like this should be good but it's not.
He didn't realize he had no islands in play before casting Blood Moon. I guess his curiosity got the better of him.

The fuck is going on with Snapcaster Mage? It's going up like three bucks a day now. Everybody swapping to Twin to beat the land decks in Modern?
I'm gonna be able to start trading these for Jaces by the end of the month. This is obscene.

Welcome to Modern PPTQ season.
He's played in a lot of decks in both Modern and Legacy, and won't be reprinted for at least a year, probably 2 (whenever the next MMA is).
The real question is if he shows up as a rare, or a Mythic. Knight of the Reliquerey (for a Duel Deck Foil) remains the only card upgraded to Mythic that was printed in a set that had Mythics already.

Being able to use a Firemind to tutor out your Angry Grimace was too strong of a combo and it was warping the thread. God's Beard was the only effective way to counter, and you can only run him in Whip decks.

New Mothership article series, My Favorite Flavor, covering flavorful decks. As in bird decks (no aven) where sword equipment can't be used because most birds can't lift swords, and you have to use the Ice Age art for Swords to Plowshares (depicting a sword turning into a dove).
I was at first excited since it seemed like it may be a return of Savor the Flavor (which covered how they internally develop the flavorful parts of the game), but no, it's just another deck building article.

3 are in my binder and one is in an EDH deck, but probably will come out to go in my Twin deck.

I feel like you cant build most competitive decks in modern without scalding tarns :\
And i dont want to buy any until battle for zen...

I mean, just Delver and Twin.
Scalding Tarn is $50 right now, and assuming it shows up in BFZ, I guess it will go to like $20? I don't think you'll see it fall below that. Its played quite a bit more than any of the allied ones are, same with Verdant Catacombs.

Well flooded strands were 80 before JOU came out. No reason to think that Tarns could go below 20 for a bit.
What're you trying to build? You should be able to build the majority of a deck and play it and get by with Khans fetches and other lands until BFZ hits. Your mana will be a little worse, but not unplayable.
If you are playing burn, it can give you a fractional advantage over any other fetchland- If your turn 1 play is Scalding Tarn, go, your opponent is more likely to put you on Twin or Delver, and you might get them to fetch an untapped shockland that they wouldn't have done if they knew you were on burn.
But yeah, for the most part, you aren't loosing much on using Strand or Delta, unless you are running both Basic Mountain and Basic Island.

I bought yesterday a builder's kit and a fat pack and made a pure black deck that focuses on destroying the opponent's hand. I will go to my first FNM this week, hope I can win a lot of matches and meet pretty women. Wish me luck ^_^

I'd like to build some kind of UWR or esper midrange deck. The later needing marsh flats instead.
On a side note does anyone els have the problem where they start to build like 5 decks and never finish any of em?
That is my problem with modern.

Flooded Strand wasn't legal in Modern.
Get any cool cards?
I'd think that UWR would work just fine with Flooded Strands and a few Arid Mesas. UWR decks played with just Tarns and Mesas for quite awhile and were still able to cast Cryptics and whatnot.

I don't know. I have 2 mythics but they seems kinda useless or very niche
We'd be more than happy in here to tell you if you have something fun/good if you feel like listing the cards you got.

Hopefully all my trade stuff starts coming in soon, sending first as a newbie on these sites makes everything super slow.
