A post titled: I hope the trash developers of this game are currently ... Post text: Never in all my years of gaming have I seen a game so nakedly designed for the AI to cheat you. If I were playing a real-life opponent who conveniently pulled out every card they needed turn after turn, meanwhile I have pulled 9 -- NINE! -- land cards out of 15 drawn ( which would be a statistical anomaly in a real game but happens with frightening regularity in this mockery of a card game) I would throw the table and take my cards home while accusing the other of stacking their deck and tampering with m ...

A Blogatog ask. planeswalker-mowu asked: Reality Fracture looks great, but how are the Echoverse versions of Multiverse characters and planes trying to usurp the real Multiverse? Does blue Chandra have to murder red Chandra to overwrite her? Answer: It's explained in the story that Echoverse versions need to make our with their counterparts to replace them. We haven't specified the duration.

Excerpt from Lorwyn Eclipsed | Episode 5: If We Shadows by Seanan McGuire "Why is that your fault?" demanded Tam. "Just because this Oona might be back, that's no reason you should have to die." "She made me," said Maralen. "And? Just because she's your mother—" "She's not my mother," said Maralen. "She made me. She pinched off a piece of herself, like plucking a petal from a flower, and she made me." Tam went still, staring at her. Maralen scoffed. "Never heard of such a thing, little stranger? Did you think all lives began with a loving embrace and a family to welcome you? Mine began in Oona's bower, petal-born and larval, distinct from the faeries around me in that I was half-finished, waiting to be put through my instars by Oona herself. I was to be her avatar, a part of her, carrying her consciousness ahead of my own. She fed me nectar, royal jelly for a queen, and she plucked the wings from my shoulders when they began to form. She kept me as a weapon, not a child. She could see the restiveness spreading through the world, the cycle struggling to reassert itself, and I was meant to become her when the world inevitably rose against her. She made only two mistakes, my maker-mother, and I was one of them."

A thread titled: Lorwyn - a new plane? Post text from MORT (Ashtok): Wizards announced the new set: Lorwyn. First thought is that it's a new plane (because what else it could be?). It sounds quite W/G to me (a forest plane? elf plane?). What do you think? Reply post from ApocalypsePrime (Jestergoblin): It could be a THING. I think we're going to see the end of Dominaria with Future Sight. Reply post from anti-sunshine (Confused): Lorwyn...sounds like a name to me, maybie it's the name of a main charector. I looked at some stuff about it too but didn't find much..

The first would be the interpretation of stalling. The new definition would be that a player has to play at a pace to finish the game on time. This means that a player can not play slow at the first, middle, or later stages of the game. Andrew Finch you can play a slow deck but can not play it slowly. This is all up to the Judges to interpret. The second item was a change in the card sleeve rule. As of September 1st a player will no longer be allowed to ask an opponent to de sleeve. The ramifications of this are apparent. Worn cards are now allowed and not considered marked. Alpha cards are up in the air and the official stance on these will be announced August 1st. The Tommy Hovi rule is still being considered, i.e. a player can force an opponent to sleeve. This will not take effect this year. Part two of the meeting will be written later this week. The main focus of this discussion was the lap dance that Mike Long had with his Cadaverous Bloom.
Now, you are probably wondering "Where did Urza come from?", "Why did Crovax attempt to sabotage the Weatherlight?", "What is the 'Great Secret of Rath'?", and "Why is Ertai a stupid 1/1?". The answers are as follows: 1) Only Pete Venters knows. 2) He lost all his humanity and went insane. Wouldn't you do something really stupid if you were insane? 3) You can't tell from the storyline? Join the club. 4) Ah, another thing in that ever growing list of things that the Research and Development (R&D;) do for no reason. I mean, what would you rather do, attack for one damage or save up enough mana to counterspell with him? And, with that, I leave you to keep in mind what lies next, in the Weatherlight Saga, for the appropriately named set, Urza's Saga™.
Greetings, For those of you who don't already know me, I am Peter Adkison, the janitor (and president) at Wizards of the Coast. My wife Cathleen and I are planning on a road trip in the Western US in early August, combining pleasure and business. Our main goal from a business perspective is to run demos of a new game WotC is coming out with this summer that we think will be our hottest product ever. Our current proposed schedule of demo games is as follows: 8/2 Portland, Oregon 8/3 Eugene, Oregon 8/4 Grants Pass, Oregon 8/5 Redding, Oregon 8/6 Sacramento, California 8/7 San Francisco, California 8/8 Fresno, California 8/9 Bakersfield, California 8/10 Los Angelas, California 8/11 San Diego, California 8/12 8/13 Pheonix, Arizona 8/14 8/15 Albuquerque, New Mexico 8/16 Colorado Springs, Colorado Some of this is flexible depending on feedback we get. The hard data points are that we can't leave before the 2nd of August, and I have to be back to Seattle by the morning of the 18th of August to fly to The GenCon Game Faire. I want to spend some time in Pheonix with my relatives, and in Colorado Springs with an old friend and some of my wife's relatives. We were thinking of driving down the west coast and then swinging up around to Colorado Springs, and then fly home from Denver. What I'm looking for are two things: * Ideas of places to crash along the way, since we'd like to minimize hotel costs. KOA's, rest areas with shower facilities, etc. * Suggestions of retail stores for demo sites. We can do one demo in each city, but we have no idea what stores are in each place. If you have a suggestion please include the address and/or phone number of the store. I'd also love to meet any of you netters out there, so let me know if you live along this rout and we'll see if we can get together! --Mavra! Peter D.

An aquatic humanoid stands in the left of frame. The figure has six sets of gills stretching from cheeck to shoulder, glassy eyes, and translucent top of head. In the background, a small cove holds a doorway carved into the rock face.
A portrait of an old man in half profile. A cloth covered in strange symbols is pulled over his shoulder, held in place by two fingers with long and pointed fingernails. His mustache, beard, and hair are windswept.
Baral stands wide atop an aether pipe which winds above the streets of Ghirapur. He is facing away from the viewer. His back is covered by a red cape, flowing from beneath ornamental filigree armoring on his shoulders and neck. A lone skyship sails above buildings in the distance.

As mentioned in the tweet, I appear mildly distressed. My hair is a mess (per usual) and I'm holding a half-eaten grilled cheese in the booth of an Atlanta Waffle House. The leaves are turning yellow and red outside.
