I mean, if you want to make me that same deal, I'll go get a tundra and a Force of Will today.

Nope! I prefer foreign cards.

Ah, okay, thanks for the explanation. That makes sense. Is there any good reason Gideon and Sarkhan function differently here, in regards to remaining a planeswalker or not? I mean, any idea why Wizards changed the templating for this?

I can think of a few issues: a) preventing damage isn't very red, b) a space issue on the card (seems unlikely), c) its just flavor to say that when Sarkhan transforms into a giant fuck-off monster he doesn't have Planeswalker abilities, or d) they wanted you to be able to use Sarkhan's minus-3 ability if you had another copy in your hand but already controlled a Sarkhan.
I'm guessing on D.

Because Sarkhan's power is him turning into a dragon and flying over to attack in a non-human form, while Gideon's is literally that he, Gideon the planeswalker, wanders over and beats up some dudes.
I figured it was due to Infect/Wither complications, or to make the relevance between combat damage, burn, and spot removal that destroys, but that makes more sense.

Aw, well that's a bummer. And no fucking way you accidentally search out a Ghost Quarter in that scenario. At this point, is there anybody who isn't cheating?

Back in '05 during a slow summer the shop I went to used to have these (we called 'em suicide drafts) every week until we drained their supply of older sets. It was amazing and I miss it.

For what it's worth, he called himself on it days ago.

I called Brad out for cheating in the comments of a Vs video in the past on the SCG website and nobody commented on it. As good as he is, sometimes he's sloppy. I'm sure all player have the capacity for mistakes.
That said, I don't know if this was intentional. I'm sure an investigation will be launched. But him being the Player's Champion from the first year and all... doesn't look good if he gets a ban.

How do you mean?
He's moving to the second ability before giving his opponent a chance to react to the first.

One thing I will say, unless he knew that his opponent didn't have a basic forest in his deck, it doesn't look like the Ghost Quarter is going to do anything there. Am I missing something in the board state?
Only if his opponent is playing Kessig Wolf Run.
Oh I get you. That is pretty scummy.

So, what's the etiquette for setting prices for selling magic cards to friends and acquaintances? I'm guessing somewhere between tcgplayer low and mid?

He knew he did it in the game and didn't say anything to anybody.

What makes it look really bad to me is, unless they played with the speed in that GIF, he slams it down and taps immediately, taking the focus off what land he played and directing it instead toward whatever he was doing next. That's a pretty clear sign of misdirection. It falls in line with what Kirblar said earlier about the Elspeth stuff. They definitely need to review his tapes.

It's probably important to note that there were 3 minutes left on the round. So it isn't like there wasn't a reason for moving hastily.
I do think he probably noticed he'd done it eventually, and didn't call it out during the game, which would be cause for a cheating DQ. If he called himself on it it'd just be a warning and they probably wouldn't even roll it back or anything.

I don't think he did it intentionally because there's no major immediate advantage, but he should have called the judge. He didn't because the judge call would take them to time.
That, said, if he did, it's not something with completely irrelevant board impact. Boswell has his own quarter, which means ripping terminate/decay into manland puts him right back in the game.

When do we get Old Lady Liliana on a card

The nice thing about working with the recently deceased is that you have a good supply of blood to bathe in and preserve your youth.
Probably never. She's far too marketable.

Liliana's origin
Despite her coming from Dominaria, the way it's presented in the story, she may as well have come from some nameless plane. We don't even know what time period she came from, though I'm still betting on Onslaught. That said, I thought the story was decent. It looks like we'll be getting cards for Raven Man, Kothoped, and Josu Vess. Also, we have confirmation that Liliana is an oldswalker and she was introduced to the four demons she made pacts with by Bolas.
Also, dumb prerelease gimmick encouraging everyone to cosplay. I like how they didn't give an example on how to pay tribute to Liliana; I guess they expect all the neckbeards to wear her outfit.

Actually it totally retcons pretty much all of Lilliana's story. They say the Mending occurred roughly a century after she obtained her spark (and they list her pre-Mending years as only a few decades).
The Mending occurs in 4500, and its ~4600 in Tarkir (assuming Tarkir takes place about the same amount of real world time from every block after Time Spiral). She's like 300.

Yay, spoilers are coming up next week.
Oh wait, we already saw all of the Planeswalkers.

Skip your draw step.
At the beginning of your end step, discard your hand.

Raven Man is just gonna be Necropotence on legs. Trust me.

I think its pretty funny they did find the level at which Necropotence isn't playable and its just going back to Greed. Which is of course interesting since Greed pre-dated Necropotence.
And then Hearthstone makes it cost 2 mana and 2 life, and it's completely insane.
But Erebos was in so many decks and his was 1B, 2 life: Draw a card
Of course I know he wasn't in those decks for that, it was just gravy on an already fitting card.
Just needs to be Leyline of Greed. That you always have in your opener. Lol.
If/when I can trade a Snap for Goyf I'll be pleased. I need only one more to complete my Goyf set.

Seems like it's slowing down, but there's still a ton of modern pptqs coming up.
That seems unlikely just because I'm pretty sure there an order of magnitude more Snapcasters in the world than there are Goyfs.
