Ugh. The Seasons Past mirror sounds worse than last years GW Devotion mirror.

Oh yeah, it goes to the bottom of the library. You would have to exile it from their hand, if not once both players are out of win cons do they just draw?

You don't, both players just loop forever with a full grip of removal until someone runs out of card. I got decked yesterday against Seasons Past while playing Mardu Control because neither of us could keep a threat on the table. If he hadn't played the first match pretty slowly I would have just conceded but I had a shot at timing him out and I'm a dick so I made him play it out.
So they released a free, official D&D supplement for Zendikar.
Looks cool, and definitely has some stuff I'll use when DMing. Hopefully they do this with more (read: better) planes in the future!

Something like this is something I've wanted for a long time
I was working on a D&D variant briefly where combat was driven by Magic decks, I should revisit it

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
If you have no win conditions and each deck has nothing but Seasons Past, you have to draw the game or someone has to intentionally lose.

I kind of want to see this happen in an untimed on-camera match.

Magic Story - Games
A pretty decent story that just records a correspondence between Gisa and Geralf, and some others. We learn that they have mommy issues (no surprise there), Geralf and Ludevic are working together, and Gisa has become friends with Nahiri.
From two days ago, this mono-green aggro Standard deck is interesting.
As for Plane Shift: Zendikar, this seems like a pretty big deal, bringing Magic and DnD together at last. Should a topic be made about it?

The only relevant plot detail as far as I can tell is that Nahiri and Gisa are working together now; Gisa is basically an airhead so Nahiri convinced her they were buddies and to raise an army of zombies (which Jace thought were being ordered by Liliana) to build a "monument" in Nephalia (the place Jace went when he was fucking crazy).

They've said in the past that they don't wouldn't mix D&D and Magic, but this is one promise I don't mind them walking back on.

They shoulda had Stitcher Geralf and Ghoulcaller Gisa as cards in the set. They're pretty powerful though and I suspect they will have a Mina and Denn style card in Eldritch Moon for a UB Commander thing.
I can't ever type out the guy's name as "Geralf" because I always type it as "Geralt." Although, hell, I guess Geralt could show up since, you know, Ciri is literally a Planeswalker.

No, Ciri being a Planeswalker is backstory that occurs before the Witcher 1 even happens.

Pretty much the worst part about the saga as well.

So you spoiled the backstory?
I don't care about the Witcher
It's just part of her power set. It's as much of a spoiler as saying Geralt is a Witcher and he's alive in the Witcher III.

I would put the Witcher 3 up there as potentially the best game ever made, so I can't say I agree. Dragon Age: Inquisition straight up feels dated at this point if you play the Witcher 3.

I'll never understand the insane amount of heralding TW3 gets, it's not even the best Witcher game. It's a damn fine game but the combat is utterly unimpressive if not outright boring and the main story pretty much nonexistent.
DAI isn't particularly great, though I liked it.

I thought III was the best Witcher game, but maybe I'm biased because I like the monster designs and side quests so much. I don't see why it had to be open world, though. Witcher 2 was so much more beautiful. Witcher 1 was garbage.
That said, I liked Dragon Age Inquisition better for opposite reasons. I tend to like Bioware characters a lot and being able to sit around and talk with your party for literal hours is great.
Neither game had a very interesting main plot and both had terrible combat.
Witcher III is basically Dragon's Dogma if you flipped the amount of effort that went into worldbuilding and game mechanics.

I really enjoyed both games, although TW3 is clearly a step above. It's maybe the only game I've ever played where I thought "This is already on my top 10 of all time list" as I was playing it.

Protection swords.
If you're okay with instant-speed answers: Annul, Negate, Spell Pierce.
It doesn't look like there are any 2-4 mana permanents in Modern that give your team protection from red or big toughness boosts.
Geist of Saint Traft in that deck too?
You could run Pay No Heeds. Prevents damage from an entire source.
COP: Red works too
Mark of Asylum stops Burn damage.
Reverse Damage seems neat too
Plated Pegasus can be flashed in to reduce damage by 1
Refraction Trap could potentially instantly kill the opponent if you have tons of spirits out

Burrenton Forge Tender maybe? Maybe some apostle's blessings for protection? Idk

It's a dark and gritty version of Dragon Age.
This entire conversation will be put to rest once Persona 5 comes out and replaces it as best game ever just sayin'

Brave the Elements?
Yet another game I don't particularly care about. ¯\_(ツ

I'd say Brave the Elements for the Spirit deck also. It can be used defensively against burn spells, or offensively to make your spirits unblockable in a lot of cases.

Forge-Tender has some booze in front of her. That's a spirit.

Good article on #PayThePros, which also offers potential solutions. The big takeaway is that Wizards seems to be aiming for outside sponsors to take up the slack of paying the players, and they thought increasing the World Championship prize would draw more attention. The article suggests that players should push teams more, which we've seen a bit of with Channel Fireball and EUreka, etc.; and that Hasbro should push for more Magic marketing on soda bottles and such.
