I'm not saying Nahiri is right for blowing up Innistrad but her being crazy is kind of understandable given Sorin's asshole actions.

I did like the Tree of Redemption reference in the Magic Story though.
Metroidvania
People called Romanes they go the house?
I mean, they're both dumb, but did Sorin just....forget that he had Nahiri still in the Helvault for all that time, and then when it got broken open, and Avacyn came back out, he didn't wonder where Nahiri was? Or did he just....forget? Lol.
I mean, she was dumb first in pressuring him when she knew of his mercurial mood, but if he kept her there, and thus weakened her ability to stop the Eldrazi from getting loose, that's on him. She's going salt-the-earth style (as is sometimes the case with Red), but I can see her logic.
That being said, I wonder if the Gatewatch Planeteers will stop her before it gets that far, or if they have to unite. Or, if she knew enough of his nature to recgonize that a clap on the shoulder was elation, that she'd not be quite so impetuous as to attack him directly. But I suppose that hint of 'fear' she sees in his eyes (from having being weakened to create Avacyn) raised her estimation of herself, and then fucks up when she keeps attacking him, going back to her previous training with him.
Or, if its still the Eldrazi's fault as well, I'm wondering if she plans to keep Emrakul trapped in the moon, as its now Sorin's plane that has to bear that burden.
I would be doooooown for this. Shit would be sick.

I'm falling firmly on the side of Nahiri acting childish and like a crazy person who can't be relied upon to react to actions or words in predicable ways. I thought she was that way when we saw this story from Sorin's POV, it's reinforced in this story. We see her inner narrative as a way to make her actions relatable, but all it did was show how she just jumped disjointedly from one motivation to another. It felt like the whole thing felt like it was a man writing a woman and just assuming women are nothing like him in their hopes, dream, motivations, and relationships.
I was cringing from her actions and not from the writing for once. So that's a plus. I think.

Bought another EMA box from the store two blocks from my house. I never go there becuase it smells bad (I thought because of the nerds in there but they actually have like a dozen cats inside, maybe it's cat poo) but I felt like stopping by yesterday and they had boxes for sale at two-thirds of what I paid for mine! R$800, which is around 220 US dollars.
I'm not opening it though, since I bought everything I needed from EMA. Not sure what I'll do with it :lol Impulse buys.

Play limited, have everyone throw money to a prize pool, top 2 splits 70/30. Do it!

Drafted a pretty silly Jeskai deck in EMA.
It's just like week 1 of Khans of Tarkir draft and nobody's drafting duals even in packs that as far as I can tell have nothing great in them.

That's a possibility. I wonder if there's a foil Force of Will in there though! I want to open it

lol I played a guy on Elves who had a pretty good deck but I had a ton of removal. Game 2 I boarded in Honden of Fire and Honden of Lifegain and drew them both off a Faithless Looting and he scooped when I cast the 2nd one.
Man breaking into the world of MTG Content creators is tough. If you're not:
You can't garner views/likes/upvotes worth a damn. Not even if (and I do believe I am) your videos have quality that surpasses 90% of the YouTubers out there.
Not to say that it gets me down; it actually strives me to work harder. There's an audience out there, and they just have yet to notice me. Doing more things that give me visibility (like the giveaways) and such should put me on the map, but I've drawn it out on paper:
The goal is to get to the inner circle. Man my handwriting is shit. Man I realized it's like the Nine Hells of Phyrexia lol
- On WOTC's short list
- Popular because of notoriety (you yell a lot about MTG)
- Popular because of sheer hours put into it (streamer/insane YouTuber)
- A Pro writing articles/videos because they're out of the scene

When I say center circle, I meant the inner one before WOTC. Working at WOTC would be a nightmare, I think.

Maro shows Jimmy Wong his card, I noticed he looks at the CMC. Also a bunch of "I KNEW IT". It's Emrakul guiz

Does "ancient horror" mean anything (outside of being a generic call out to Lovecraft)?

Am I missing LRR on the map? Considering they've got a podcast dedixated to Magic, MDMA Friday Nights, and will have hosted 2 Pre-Prereleases, it's odd not to see them there.

High profile content creator right in the middle
Correct. LRR does more than just magic though, and their presence within the community has been diminished since then. They just do Magic stuff here and there.
The reason they host Pre-Prereleases is because out of anyone on the high profile CC list, they're the only ones with a top of the line operation. Cameras, scene transitions, the works. So of course WOTC gives something like that to them.
Buzz Hype starts on June 20th
Likely Emrakul + Set Symbol
Then spoilers the monday after that

Boom, single-sided, single-carded Emrakul confirmed.
It says "cards" in the description so it's probably the usual 4-5 cards for the spoiler "blowout," where they show a big marquee card and then some subset of the mechanics.

Maro's fucking voice. His fucking voice. It actually gets more grating the more you hear it.
There's almost no way its not Emrakul because obviously the symbol is gonna spoil the set.

Also Grimace I was surprised when I heard Maro's voice for the first time. It sounds like it is permanently set to "Helium"

I was at a non-Magic playing friends house for that super nerdy BFZ thing they did at PAX and oh my god it was so embarrassing watching it on his TV. Everything about it.
It was at this point, he knew he fucked up
This is pretty much anything related to "Geek Culture" and attempts to capitalize on it.
the fuck? zoom and enhance time
You lie. THe card is facing away the entire time.

Thanks good sir! Very much looking forward to seeing how this set fills out.

Uh is the clause that makes the mana not empty at end of phases missing intentionally?
Cast your spell in combat, you pleb!

no that's cast your spells in the declare attackers step. Which is usually fairly ineffective, can't even use the mana to counter anything.
Maybe you want to pump it idk. I'll add the clause then.

Also this
The idea is good it's usually in the red green color pie though. To be more bant flavoured you could make it only be spendable to cast instants.

This is actually a pretty neat design, but you should use some other image so it doesn't just completely read as Noble Hierarch. Like, say:
Yes.
This isn't a thing.
They started doing setname domains as portals back with Battle for Zendikar. I suspect, going forawrd, they'll do it for every set.

I can't imagine a pack SO GOOD you would drop. IDK I'll take the foil Force and pass the Mana Crypt.
Listening to Drive to Work is like shoving a drill in your ear.

Pack error in your favour: 12 Mana Crypts.
That's a pack that would make me drop. Pretty much the nuts.
Ya especially when you're playing for like 4 packs of soi lol. My LGS allows players to buy a replacement pack during fnm drafts if this kind of scenario comes up. Nobody has ever complained about it to my knowledge.
