Did it take 54 pages to realize that "online" has an "i" in it?
Also, GTC at least looks interesting... not sure about the prevalence of solely-EDH cards in the mythics though.

I'm really not liking many of the double cards. Fuse is interesting, but their cost is such that they aren't useful at the point you'd be able to Fuse them.

They're back to foil Mythics as prerelease promos!

Also, holy crap I want the full-art Melek!

I like this bear.

Can't see how to make him work, as your opponent will be able to annihilate you with double mana first.

Also, how would the following work with dual cards? Would it make Turn // Burn cost only UR to Fuse?
Awesome sideboard card any way.

On a more important note...
My LGS is doing another 1-1-4 sealed as the DGM release.
Is there any way to make DGM sealed suck less? I got handfuls of mana fixers but nothing useful to use them with.

So yeah... http://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/ar ... amorphosis happened today.
That may give me the jumpstart I need to get back into Magic.

TL;DR: M15 is the last core set. Khans is the last 3-set block. Two 2-set blocks a year, Standard rotates after 18 months.

They're making a different product for new players... core sets were getting too complicated supposedly (according to MaRo) but not complicated enough for returning players.

On a different note, best Magic art ever:

My inner Vorthos likes two fleshed-out worlds a year

And before RTR, drafting the third set alone always felt weird anyway.
The Khans rotation is weird though but I guess its the best given what they wanted to do

You could also OCTGN.

Why is Twitch chat so vitriolic towards Armlx?

You can also have some friends put together a cube. Cube drafting is amazing, and once you build it there's no additional cost.
I went together with 7 other friends and we spent $25 each and we put together a cube that so far has been drafted maybe 50 times.

Anyone have a list for a good budget cube in the $200 range? I just taught my friends how to draft and they want to keep doing it, and I figure a cube is the best way.
It only has to be 360 cards as they are 6-person drafts.

Why Fallen Empires?

diginova · Fri Nov 21, 2014 11:37 am

I'm definitely going to start by proxying the big stuff, but I'd prefer as few proxies as possible. I completely forgot about the LR cube, thanks.

Peregrine:
Right on that page you linked:

Example: Hymn to Tourach, another uncommon from Masters Edition II, is not legal for use in the Magic Online Pauper format. Even though Hymn to Tourach was printed as a common in the Fallen Empires set, that set was never released on Magic Online

Megamorph reminds me of those cheesy Animorphs books I read as a kid, and I don't really see the point to it... Why is it important enough to keyword?

What's the correct call if said unladen swallow picks up the cards and flies away?

Ravnican.
