huh? Double sided/transform planeswalkers wouldn't change the number of planeswalker cards. It's gonna be 36 planeswalker cards in the set, not 36 different characters. If one card has two different planeswalkers on it, that's still just one card. In fact, I think it's more likely we get...

Oh, I'm curious how that will work for mtga boosters, though. We only get 8 card boosters when opening packs, so maybe its a PW every other pack for those?

Plus, I'm sure they will make a ton of cards that deal with, or interact with, planeswalkers. It won't be like a normal limited environment where a planeswalker is hard to answer. Also, if they make uncommon PW, I could see them being like 1RR +1: deal 1 damage to target player, -3: Deal 2...

We're cutting to a top 4, that's built in scouting. So, you'll play against people you likely played in the swiss rounds. Potentially, someone can wait to even setup half their sideboard until the top4, make it based on the decks they saw, and then change it for later rounds if they didn't draw...

So, I know the plan is to use an honor system with decklists.. But, someone could theoretically change the # of copies of a card in main/side without getting caught. Like, maybe they use 3 negate 2 disdainful stroke in the SB for one match, but 2 negate/3disdainful in another. Unless they draw...

*cues drdisrespect music* should the TWO TIME arkansas state/regionals champion enter? Do you think you can handle my magnificence? eh.. fuck it, Enzee#22070 i'll probably get mana screwed and lose first round of top8. Calling my shot! Will we cut to a Top4 if there isn't enough for a top8...

Seriously though, from an experienced magic player's perspective, arena might seem reasonable. From my own personal experience, I've not had trouble building a big enough collection for cheap. However, by design, only a small portion of the playerbase can ever be good enough to win enough for...

uhh, what do you link you're linking? It's a list of people selling accounts, so? I wasn't bragging about how long I've been in, I got in after the large release of invites to closed beta, a week after a few people on here posted about getting in. It wasn't super exclusive by that point. I was...

I've been in arena since the closed beta, when ixalan was the only set available. I've seen people constantly making the comparison with paper mtg when defending the 'cost' of mtga, and that analogy is irrelevant and idiotic. Paper magic gives you a tangible good, it's a collectible that has an...

Ah, yea i knew it was a mashup, but i only caught the 'r martin' part when she said it. That its capt kirk and martin does make it seem like a quentin thing.

Damn was I happy to see a new episode magicians on my DVR. Hadn't been watching much TV lately, so I had no idea this was coming back this last week. This is, by far, my favorite show on TV right now and the new season is off to a promising start. Marina doing some 'high level' magic was nice...

Yea, overall cardkingdom has always been the best imo. It felt like on about 60-80% of the cards they had the best price, combined with their speed of turnaround and customer service, they were just the best overall. If you really wanted to maximize your money, you'd check 3+ sites for each...

Went 12-0 before losing to an afterlife deck. When they can trade and leave behind 1/1s, that seems pretty tough to beat.

oh man.. i made a slightly different version on arena (dont have 4 judiths yet) but I just crushed 5 people in a row. Even hands I wasnt sure were very good, ended up being OP as fuck. Got stuck on 2 lands against mono-blue aggro, he bounced my runaway steam-kin FOUR times (Exclusion mage...

ugh.. i glanced over the list. He actually has 14 white sources, which is way better, because he has a bunch of other white cards in the sideboard that I missed. With a deck like this, your life total is practically irrelevant. If you are concerned about your life, something has gone wrong anyway.

Uhh.. 8 sources is already a bit light to cast heroic reinforcements on turn 4 consistently. Ideally you'd want about 10. 8 sources is perfectly fine. Light the stage is gonna be a divination in the matchups you need it to work, its not worth it. In the games you need the card advantage, you...

Yea, I had been messing around with rakdos burn/wizards before, and theater of horrors seems like a better sword-point diplomacy for the deck. The token/sacrifice angle seems legit too.

what he said.. but give it to me instead :D

yes, many of us know that already is my point.. the cover story Dan gives is that he won it from 'poker' but the poker community has investigated and basically debunked that. However, compared to a lot of the criminal shit that goes on in wall street, his dad didn't do anything that bad. He...

waiting for what? jesus christ, you made an ok joke, then beat it to death with autism.

I must say, I'm surprised at the recent changes on arena regarding 5th copy rares/mythics. Specifically, when it comes to drafting the 5th copy, or if you have all the rares/mythics from the set, they are giving you gems for each one. 20 for rares, 40 for mythics. This makes the idea of going...

Oh, and one of the social commentary episodes, preferably demons of punjab or the witch finder one, would have been fine as well. It still would have been a weaker episode, but passable at least. It was too many of those episodes with no real gems in between.

If the finale had been like the 4th or 5th episode, and was more representative of the entire season (it was almost a story arc!), then things might have been decent. As a finale, though? Meh. Take the opener, the kerblam episode, the solitract episode, and then the finale as the first 4...

Oh shit.. Mark Gatiss! I had been trying to think of who they could get to run the show, but I couldn't think of anyone (partially cause I dont know many BBC writers/showrunners) but yes.. he'd be perfect. His work on Sherlock has been amazing and he's written quite a few Dr. Who episodes. He...

I just wanna say, this last episode was a little better than most. It felt a little more like 'Who' in some ways. Part of that might just be the Doctor mentioning Zygons in an off hand remark, while she was talking about the Grandmothers, but part of it was that the whole plot was more...

Donna like dat BBC. I just watched Kerblam the other day, and I think it's my favorite of the season so far. It felt a LITTLE more like classic Who, but still not a great episode. The villain seemed a little out of nowhere and thin, but idk if I'm being nitpicky. It's not like previous Who...

You guys took the casting notice waaay too seriously. Just because they were searching for BAME actresses, does not mean they had settled on one. They may have already had a white chick in mind, and wanted to see if some other direction might work. Plus, you can have people with other...

Wait.. and in the other article linked, DOCTOR WHO: BBC Confirm Series 12 to Broadcast in 2019 - STARBURST Magazine they mention the 'ratings success'. Is the show really doing better than it's ever done? What kind of numbers did Tennant/Smith used to get? Man.. If the show is really doing...

It might have been hand waving, and while I was writing 'Amelia remembers the Doctor into existence" it sounded lame, but that episode/moment was super powerful to me and I WISH we had episodes like that right now. That whole resolution was a little complex, and unclear, with all the backwards...

Agree with pretty much your whole post, just quoting this part to say, yes, it was due to the universe reboot he does at the end of the season resulting from the crack. It's why Amelia doesn't recognize Daleks or even know aliens exist at first, despite them showing up on a large scale to earth...

I don't think Fring intended to murder them, but now that they had to kill the boss guy, it might end up that way. The bigger loose end is sending them back, and their friend they've worked with before has just disappeared completely. You don't think they might go to the authorities themselves...

The more and more I think about it, especially as I write out my criticisms, I keep coming back to the idea that maybe Chibnall just isn't as big of a superfan of the series as Moffat/Davies were. Or, someone at BBC told him this season needed to be 'accessible' to casual fans, so they forced...

Yea, the best example of these little moments showing the 'nerfing' of the Doctor was the one I gave before, in the Rosa Parks episode. She makes a point of silently nodding her head as she counts out the people on the bus, the way a normal person would, but the Doctor would have counted them...

It wasn't just a 'line on a map'. It was "Muslims move here now, your old land is part of India now". Indians felt entitled to 'their' part, and it created fear of 'others'. I mean, look at Israel and the middle east ffs, almost the same thing and it's been a shit show since it started. As for...

Yea, im really disappointed by that, but it matches i heard whittaker say in her interview before ep1. I really hope we arent just the minority that wants story arcs and they fix it for next season.

Trailer for next week shows Evan Peters playing his FOURTH character of the season.. rofl. Also, hairdresser character's mom turned out to be a witch this whole time as well? Or is that supposed to be different character, who was also an actress? I'm really not sure. I swear, the writing on...

She's a model/actress, Lily Cole. She was the girl in 'The imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus', for example. And yes.. she has some softcore nudes online.

uhh hell yea they probably are. Depending on your tastes, maybe some asian countries (thailand, cambodia, etc..) would give em a run for their money. Basically, any poor country with a robust sex trade and/or porn industry. You'll find 9s and 10s that will volunteer to be your slave for a few grand.

They can play off her being a woman without it being feminist. They've already done this a bit. Or, scenes of random people assuming Grahm or Ryan are in charge can be funny without being heavy handed, too. I'm not talking about making every single thing a statement about women's right. I'm...

OH, after all the serious shit is taken care of, I'd probably try to pay Blizzard to make a progression server for WoW. i.e. their vanilla server that then goes through all the expansions, because I missed a bunch of them after Wrath, and didn't even do the first 3 properly. Had to take lots of...
