 I won't even get into video game movies-Halo, Resident Evil, etc.


 I'm just curious when things will change. Will we as a culture turn even more wizard, making board games the go-to activity on the weekends with fantasy elements, only up to switching up to play Magic: the Gathering?

 Or will we revert back to more traditional American leisure, like the beach and baseball?

 I'm curious to know to "we" even are. Are wizards that popular or am I blinded since I'm a middle class white male? I do wonder.

I feel like those Linux users who keep saying "oh man, it's just so much better." It's faster, more fun, more hands on etc. etc. etc.

Literally.

With the hurdles of compatibility issues, costs and the internal community being so eerily similar, maybe EDH is the open source of magic.

Though Cube Drafting is a close second.

So you pay $10-30 to get cards...to resell. Or have an entire draft pod, only that no one is playing, to get cards to resell. The latter is more likely, but honestly?

I suppose stealing TVs is too difficult now? Are we so obese as a nation that we cannot lift them?

Magic cards? Really?

Are we at that point? Is our economy that bad?

Struggle.

That voice from above, a Wizards creative member, explaning the how was a delight when I read it the first time. Fallen Angels sacrificed creatures and that made sense, but as to how that was achieved I found interesting. Round up the poor and then, well, go mongering. Or how the Nightmare is affected by swamps and thus grows weaker when they disappear.

Now I realize that Magic's daily writing covers a little of this to the Vorthos crowd, but it got me to wondering if this direct product to storyline connection/interpretation would ever come back in a grand sense. Maybe an appendix in books? With visuals? Included in a fat pack? I don't really know.

I'd like to think so, in one manner or another. That would be legend..(wait for it)....ary.

Art references, storylines, key magic cards among other things.

I think I won by saying, "The entire time I was watching the movie Avatar, I was thinking, 'This is so Zendikar and the Kor seem different than the style guide.'"

I think this is really the best example lately I've seen of the integration of reminder text to flavor text flawlessly. This made me wonder how other media gives functional explanations while staying on brand.

I think museum labels make this connection very analogously by employing the artwork, connecting it to the exhibition theme and simultaneously connecting it to the mission of the museum. 

How impressive.
