Did anything every come of the Wizards lawsuit regarding this or will it be in legal limbo for a couple more years?

It's a little different this time, in that mtg's patent has expired, leaving them with significantly more dubious claims like customers being confused and buying digital hex cards from inside the hex client thinking that they are really mtg cards ;p
Set 2 is a lot of fun even if I suck at playing it. So far, three color human draft decks seem to do very very well. I have been trying to make a bunny draft deck work - no luck and an orc draft deck work - no luck.

Yes they do very well, unless you do not get the colors you need. I had that problem last night. For whatever reason, I have had atrocious luck drafting set 2 so far. If I get a good draft, I get gem screwed. If I have a so so deck, I get whatever resource I need but end up playing somebody with a deck that has bombs. I have drafted 5 times and only made it to the 2nd round once. Well one draft bugged out on the 1st round so 4 times.

That is why I play swiss drafts for awhile when a new set comes out. I get more value out of them by being able to play more and see more of the card interactions.

Yeah I suppose I should have. I think I am getting a better handle on Set 2 now. Bombs have more power because of the lack of good removal. The game that bugged was of course the game that I felt had the best chance as it was mono green with 4 pump spells and good interaction. I feel Blood is still the weakest of the shards and takes an orc/shinare theme to make it work consistently. White's removal is limited with the meek and the really expensive void card. I was pretty upset at loosing that first round to not drawing the right color though. I had 2 human rares that should have worked. Oh well, apparently the river card is failing me.

In the 2/2/2 environment it really seems like green fatties are the way to go. I splash red if I can grab a combination of 4 or more rift bolts and shield slams. Fliers used to be greens downfall but they now have more sky guard than any other color.

I think green is certainly the best single color to go. It has the big creatures and skyguard. It also has spell shield(Which does still help) and even the new death touch. I like the new green hero that adds +1+1 to all your creatures. It also has the best Legendaries if you get that lucky. Red appears to have all around the best removal. I made good use of the red 3/2 that when he died gave me a burn spell. Blood has good cards but it is very unreliable in getting them. Fish Hands is one of my favorite surprise cards with the built in reversion. I just wish the card did not give them defense. I will be drafting again in a bit. Would love to see a descent rare this time. Jank BoT while cute, is an immediate pass.
I am loving Timestep Magistrate. It does wonders to any inspire deck, specially one that includes a Royal Falconer.

That card has many uses. I want to make a deck with the Filk Ape that reverts everything each turn. Both of those out could just ruin things with cards like buccaneer.
Finally won a draft. Red/Green with trample and block removal. I got gem hossed on one game but so did my opponent on the same game. He was playing triple color humans and literally ran into the same problem I did yesterday not drawing a red gem. I guess that evened out my karma. I am happy now as I got my 1 AA ape.

They have been talking about the Arena for a few months now. The fact that they are not done testing it and cannot even give specifics concerning "Features" tell me they are a LONG way off still. Get excited around.....March. That update actually depressed me as I thought surely the Arena was about ready to go.
