We're still thinking this one in the middle, right?
It's broken with a lot of somethings!
I'm still of the mind it's a broken moon.
It's the symbol that would be the MOST obvious upon being seen what was going on in the set and VERY spoiler heavy. It's simple to design, just make it a circle with broken cookie pieces coming off of it. However, it's very obvious what it would represent.
Something like this:
It also would look like Emrakul.

I would be surprised if the Heron Moon actually breaks. I think the "moon" thing is a a red herring and it has nothing to do with it. Like someone mentioned before, Emrakul IS the "Eldrich Moon".
Also, those hoping it's the Phyrexians or something else, didn't Emrakul have a connection to the Angels on Zendikar? It would thematically make sense if so.

So if fire magic is banned on Kaladesh, how will they handle red cards? That cuts out a huge bit that red does. I hope it means they will experiment a little more with red, interacting with artifacts and such.
There'll be an uprising either started by Chandra or already in progress when she gets there.
I bet ALL types of magic are banned as the populace thinks you are using up Aether (what they use to power their machines) to do it.

Maybe combine it with the SOI symbol to get a more Emrakul-looking silhouette?

Hey, somewhat of a noob here who's been bitten by the Magic bug - I used to play in the 90's, but a lot's changed since then and I've been reading up so as to not be entirely lost, but there's still some things that confuse me. Mainly with the transformation cards - my friend told me I can only transform a card on my upkeep, but the cards say "at the beginning of each upkeep", which suggests to me that I should be able to intentionally not cast any spells one turn so as to transform any double-sided cards during my opponent's upkeep...is that right?
Also, I'm joining in with a regular group of players at the weekend and don't want to get absolutely demolished, would anyone mind taking a look at my deck? Any advice would be appreciated, I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing haha.

You are absolutely correct. Werewolves transform on any upkeep after a player hasn't played a spell. So you could play nothing, then pass and they transform. It's a typical tactic werewolf players do.
Your deck itself seems to be all over the place - there's a lot of 1-ofs (I'm assuming because of lack of cards?). I'd remove all the chaff removal (Sheer Drop, Gideon's Reproach) and go straight for 4x Fiery Temper 4x Lightning Axe. Since they're uncommon/commons, you shouldn't have trouble acquiring them at your LGS.
One thing about magic deck building is that consistency is key. It makes playing with your favorite cards kind of hard to do, but then, playing with your favorite cards is all dependent on you drawing them, right?

Yeah, haven't got a lot of cards as of yet and haven't had much luck with the boosters I bought, so I guess I'll head over to the comic book store tomorrow and see if I can find some singles to get me up to 4x on those cards
Thanks for the help
I'm already going half in with my wife. There's bound to be a ton of shit in there we don't have at all. I'm looking at you, Liliana of the Veil.
Yeah I kind of want a box to crack but I'm pretty sure it won't be a good deal since I'll still have to buy singles of stuff I want. :/
On the one hand it'll be expensive. On the other hand you should totally do it.

Baby Jace is no longer the most expensive card in standard on MTGO.

Kalitas, although CoCo is closing in.
Did my first TSP-TSP-PLC draft ever tonight on MTGO. Time Spiral block is probably my biggest knowledge hole, because I never even bought a single pack of any set in the block or even thought about Magic when it was out. I'm really surprised people don't have this format high on their tier lists- there is SO MUCH going on, lots of on-board tricks and unique Flash cards, and it feels great. I've used Suspend cards in cube before, but having lots of them and curving out with them plays great. I won my draft, but I don't think most people playing in these are really used to all the mechanics- I had opponents in every round paying Echo costs when they clearly shouldn't have been, but I def want to play another one this weekend.

TSPx3 is a better still-has-a-vague-hold-on-sanity version of the format and TSP-PLC-FUT is better as the most complete brain-melting sanity-twisting format ever.
Time Spiral Block Draft was my first draft format. I had a lot of fun with it. Though I'm the kind of guy who appreciated the block as a history lesson/catch-up rather than get flumuxed by X number of mechanics
As an aside, trying to nail down the archetypes in my Tribal Cube is really hard. I keep getting pulled in multiple directions and its hard to settle down on a final size

With the amount of counters run currently in standard it dawns on me how harmless a Cavern of Souls reprint would have been currently. There are mostly 1 of counters usually that's negate and seldomly ojutai's command.
At worst it'd have pushed humans W/x more.
I'm wondering if I could make U/r merfolk, add 4x bolt and a 1 or 2 of Jori En basically, might even sideboard Blood Moon.

So guys, I just realized I have a signed English All Hallow's Eve by Christopher Rush (I literally got it done at GP vegas and forgot about it...somehow). How likely is it that mine is one of few on the planet, and should I ship it to some Wizards of the Coast vault / Maro or something?

I went after Kalitas HARD when SOI came out. I have very little in the way of cash so I mostly have to get things through trades. I think I traded something like 4 or 5 various planeswalkers for the 3 copies of Kalitas I have. And I've gotten away with some good deals like that in the past. So much so that everyone at my LGS immediately becomes suspicious when I'm actively trading for a card.

He was around $7 when Oath came out and has done nothing but go up since. Catching on in Modern hasn't helped at all, he's going to be pricey for awhile.

Do you have any Scream counters to go with it?

I've drafted OGW probably 12 times at the least and won it multiple times and opened zero kalitas, zero nissas and zero chandras
