I was sitting at work today planning to build a deck almost exactly the same as the Mono-White Tokens deck posted today, except using Ajani Goldmane. I was surprised to come home and find the deck sitting there on the Deck of the Day o_O
At least I have a worlds-quality deck to compare my choices with ^_^

The Kor have gotten so ugly. It's so weird that WoW seems to have set the standard for how fantasy being should look, while aesthetics seem to have never been the main focus for their models.
Val Mayerik, we miss you.

odd that they point to mirrodin's core, and not to mycosynth lattice, where you can not only see the growths a lot better but understand something about them.

I've always wondered why Darksteel Citadel, which is meant to represent Panopticon, has sunlight and clouds in the background. It's meant to be in the center of the hollow plane of Mirrodin.

From Jino Choi's feature: "Recently wrapped up the final design of Worldwake and the graphic design of the Shards of Alara block all-foil boosters."
Am I reading this incorrectly? Are there going to be boosters composed entirely of foil cards? Or is this simply the wrapper being all foil? Or is there going to be a special booster pack here and there with 15 foil cards and a special wrapper?

this was in an arcana a while back. it will be a 15 card booster with cards from the entire shards block. they will be all foil. i think it's like 12 bucks, i will look for the link and post it.

Bwahaha... I love the Card of the Day theme. It is the U.S. Bill of Rights, so presumably it will continue into next week.
Steamflogger Boss : The First Amendment is well-known for its protection of speech, religion, and the press. Less frequently mentioned are the rights of petition and, as in this case, assembly... Werebear : He exercises his right to bear arms. Standing Troops : The Third Amendment protects citizens from the quartering of troops in their homes. Thoughtseize : The Fourth Amendment prevents unreasonable search and seizure. Tromp the Domains : Among many other due-process issues, the Fifth Amendment requires "just compensation" in cases of eminent domain (government seizure of private property).

I should add that we're getting these in Magic Online as well, however there is also a product image for the same product in both foil and non-foil. It's not clear if they'll be offering a non-foil Alara Block booster in paper as well.

I didn't want to use Steamflogger Boss , because it's somewhat controversial. But it gives a free assembly! How can I turn that down?

see, i think for a lot of people steamflogger himself isn't controversial. it's the knowledge that there is no support intended for him that is the controversey. the reason people get so worked up about him is they LIKE steamflogger boss! being such an optimist, i am still waiting for them to fix the problem and give us some contraptions to assemble. i know in my heart it will happen one day.

I would stop liking him if this happened as it entirely defeats the point. I mean it may be a stupid point but still. I like it.

you are in the minority. defeating the point is what most people wanted wotc to do with the boss.
I don't know whether I agree. All of the fun comes from theorizing what Contraptions/Assmble mean. Its just a card if they explain. I mean its nifty I guess but it ceases being interesting.

i'm not saying you don't have a right to your opinion, or that i don't understand your perspective. i'm saying most people disagree. if you were in the majority, the boss wouldn't be so controversial and it's pretty much a solid fact that he is.
i think contraptions and assembling and riggers would likely turn out to be less cool than we've all imagined if they were actually made. but that doesn't make me or other people want them to never make them.

I don't think most people really disagree with me though. As a YMTC'er most of the reactions I get to it are there and the number of contraption threads are hilariouss. They wouldn't exist if Contraptions were defined. In addition him not being controversial would make him less popular cause a crapton of people wouldn't hear about him. We wouldn't be having this argument for example and he wouldn't get his spot in arcana or articles as often as he does. Its like a murder mystery where you never find out the murderer that becomes famous because of it. Sure most people are clamoring to know but they don't really want to know. It would defeat the point and it would have just been a run-of-the-mill movie without worth of mention.

you're right that he wouldn't be nearly as big a deal. but that isn't relevant to whether people are upset about him being a joke or want him to be supported by design. i think most people who care want contraptions to be real and are upset that they aren't. whether or not they'd even care at all about contraptions if they had existed in the first place doesn't change that they are upset they don't exist now.

A lot of the people who want contraptions to be real want their version of contraptions to be real and I have heard very few identical proposals. Many would lost interest even more when their prediction is proven wrong. I guess my point is people are going to feel bad either way at least this way it isn't specifically directed at certain people (ie. people who guessed wrong).

maybe that's true among ymtc people (it would make sense) but i don't know if it's true among the general population. and also there's been so much time since he came out, and people have known for a while that no official support was planned. so that is going to have some effect on people's expectations.

And that is why it belonged in an Un-set. I know there are some that believe the effect was greater by it being given black-bordered authenticity, and there is something to that, but it was just not that way for enough people. Any card can be loved by someone. As an Un-card it would have all of the YMTC goodness without any of the disappointment that accompanied its existence in a black-bordered set (a lot of people were flat-out insulted). You certainly wouldn't have a card a subset of ameteur designers liked and the vast majority hated.
And yes, it was hated. We don't get cards like this anymore for a reason, and that reason is not that it was universally loved except for a handful of people in a forum. Besides the obvious, the big problem that prevented it from being really believable was before the set came out, when they admitted there would be red herrings in the set. If the intention was really to make this believable in a "could happen" context, they should never have said anything at all about the fakes. AF's "elbow to the ribs" article where they admitted that yes, this was one of them (and don't you feel stupid for pulling one, sucker!) was the catalyst for a change made with regards to bad rares. Perhaps if we were all still officially under the pretense that every card would likely see print eventually, the card would have more meaning. (That's a big "perhaps.") But in the end it was a great learning experience for R&D. I think it has served a much greater purpose.

New Avatar of Woe: I didn't like it. But when I saw the original art in bigger size, I realized for the first that the avatar has three arms. So it went from "ugly" to "meh".

Or maybe it's because such a card would have no place in a set other than Future Sight.
For what it's worth, it's my favourite card of the set. I agree that uncommon would be a better place for it, though.

I'm talking about the entire sub-category of "feel bad" rares, not just the Boss. Cards that make the players that open them feel like they threw money in the gutter have not been seen much since then.

they've been replaced with cards that you almost never see but when you open them it's like you won the lottery. for all the complaining that's gone on (mine included) i have to admit that's an improvement. although i have been known to like awful offensive rares, myself.

personally i prefer the moonlaces and the one with nothings but i understand objectively that baneslayer is a better card to be a rare than they are. and if mythics didn't exist baneslayer probably wouldn't be so jacked up in price. the existence of mythics muddies the debate a bit but i think baneslayer as a regular rare would be preferred to a "crap" rare by most people.

I like my share of Johnny rares as well. But I think there is a limit to how narrow they should go. (They definitely don't want to do this in the days of smaller sets.) There are actually rares in Future Sight that were arguably worse than Steamflogger Boss, who does attack for 3.

I played against a few chageling decks online in the casual room online when Lorwyn first came out. they could have used the card if it wasn't 4 mana. My brother tried to make it work but he could never draw it before he had an army out.
Yes, I am sure the casual table has enjoyed that bonus.
Yes, that must be it. I like the inclusion of Crime/Punishment , it's a clever way of fiting 6 things in this week's cycle with only the usual 5 cards.

since the split cards are 3 colors, they would HAVE to be split across guilds. since guilds are two colors. as far as i can tell from the pictures all the 3 color split cards from that block are split between two guilds.

The problem with "Bands with Other" wasn't the definition of the ability. It was the name. Bands with Minotaurs and Bands with other Minotaurs would seem to be the same thing; bands with any Minotaur that isn't itself.
Bands with Banders would sound like no ability at all, since a creature doesn't need banding to be banded with a creature with banding.
So the appropriate thing to do, I suspect, because "Bands with Other... with Bands with Other" is too long is a new keyword that implies mutualism. Like "Cooperates".

I'd think with all the emphisis on "tribal" you'd think they'd have left "bands with other" alone. The point was to have limited banding ability with just your own type. Of course there were under 1000 cards when that rule was made.. there's so many, many creatures now, and particularly with Legends that broke so many color pie rules they probably needed to fix it. Maybe this means they'll put banding back into a Standard set again.

I like the new Worldwake boxes, looks like powerful combinations. Can they make the boxes CLOSE again? The Slivers box was awesome, like the FTV series in that it can be opened and played and then set back on the shelf to look pretty.
I'd venture the reason for the glued-shut boxes was to reduce shoplifting of the packs inside... sad to say I've seen this at retail stores far too often.. to the point some stores won't carry Magic because of the shoplifting.

Is that really a second storage box included in the fat pack? I don't see how it fits in the primary box. Honestly, it looks like the 'wrapper', of the sort that has had art from the set on the inside.

It's got to be the wrapper. It says how many packs (8) come with the product. And I DON'T want any more boxes. A minor gripe.... Putting Jace on this box is really cool, but it makes the box for Zendikar seem kind of stupid. Some random Kor hang glider? Why not Chandra, or Nissa? Seems like a missed opportunity for some flavor continuity.

Wow. Did anybody not get the pun of Stream Hopper (today's Card of the Day) the instant they saw the card? (It is funny on its own, though.) And is it really not explained what made Stream Hopper lose an arm and a leg when the flavor text says "he was robbed of his better half by the Aurora"? Of course, to say this I'm assuming that the last sentence of the Card of the Day entry should read "Just what made the missing left arm and leg is better left unexplained.", instead of "... better is ...", as clearly Stream Hopper is still missing those limbs.

Guess the lil' guy was left-handed..? Before the Aurora he was a 2/2 (2 arms, 2 legs), heh.
I wish the fat packs still included a novel... The best fat packs to me were the ones that had 2 boxes, a full novel, card catalog for the set, spin-down life counter (d20), and 6 boosters... While it's obviously nice to get 8 boosters instead of 6, it seems the old deal was a better one (at least for people who like the novels).
To me, the novels make the game more fun by adding a buttload of flavor to the cards/setting, so the old deal was more valuable to me.

well, i thought that the most interesting part of the fat pack is the part where we see the eldrazi themselves. (on the novel) so, apparently thay have long heads, four arms, and lots of tentacles (and their about 5 or more storeys tall)

this was in an arcana a while back. it will be a 15 card booster with cards from the entire shards block. they will be all foil. i think it's like 12 bucks, i will look for the link and post it.
Has there been any explanation of why they're doing this? I mean, all-foil boosters seems pretty cheesy to me, and eliminates the specialness of foils.

since the booster is 12 dollars, i think the reason they're doing it is for the $$. but it's a pretty cool move on their part, in my personal opinion, because people who collect foils (for cubes and such) will probably be pretty happy about them.
what wotc is doing is similar to what trent reznor did with nine inch nails the past couple of years. the business plan is essentially based on the idea that you have some diehard fans who want premium products and if you price it to make a profit off of a limited number of buyers they will pay for it. previously you avoided special hardcore products because they didn't have mass appeal and would have to cost too much to make a profit, but now you can release those products knowing that people who really want them (the niche audience) are willing to pay and will be grateful to have access to the kind of product they normally wouldn't. wotc isn't doing it quite as deftly as trent but they're definitely following a similar plan and in general i think it's a good idea.
since the booster is 11 dollars, i think the reason they're doing it is for the $$. but it's a pretty cool move on their part, in my personal opinion, because people who collect foils (for cubes and such) will probably be pretty happy about them.

Now if they'd just release $1 guaranteed-no-foil packs for those who couldn't give a steamy carp about foils, everyone would be happy!

Wow. I apologize. I still say that the flavor text pun is obvious enough to be unworthy of a Card of the Day entry. And maybe the sentence I misread would be clearer as "Just why the missing left arm and leg were better is left unexplained."
I can say that I never thought about Mons's Goblin Raiders and Goblin Raider that way before.

Mons's Goblin Raiders are like ninjas. A single MGR can take out an army, but an army of ninjas can be taken out by a single dude with a machine gun... or something like that. I'm a bit fuzzy on the math, but I think you get my point.

This is a total aside, but if you go to the 2nd location listed today for the worldwake contest on google maps, go to street view and move on the road as close to the sign infront of the shopping complex (looks like an albertsons sign might be on it). Look just under the sign, just off the side walk, there is a small, lets say humanoid object. What does it look like to everyone else? I feel like I'm on crazy pills.
Apologies for being off topic, I didn't see a discuss on the worldwake hunt.

Look just under the sign, just off the side walk, there is a small, lets say humanoid object. What does it look like to everyone else? I feel like I'm on crazy pills.
I guess I didn't notice it the first time they ran this Arcana - my wife and I are both seen in the second picture shown of the Magic party: I'm the guy with a backpack on and my back turned to the camera in the very bottom right corner and my wife is just to my left holding our camera. She was probably taking this picture at the time:
That party was awesome.
P.S.: Buy my shoes/shirt/hat - they're 50% off through the 31st

Just me, or can you essentially do double damage to a team in 2HG for 1 mana with Comet Storm?
Actually, that would be quadruple damage. + 1 kicker = 20 dmg total. Unless a ruling says otherwise.
It's personal preference, but neither card appeals to me. One card displays multikicker, and the other displays...multikicker. Doesn't worldwake do anything else interesting? Or just an overall cool card would have been fine.

Care to explain your math on that? It's 5 damage to one player, 5 damage to the other player, and last I checked 5+5=10, not 20. I hope you're not going to say something along the lines of "the shared life total in 2HG essentially doubles damage". That would be incorrect.

For each time kicked. Kicked once = do the same thing once more = 5 to each player twice = 20
And I don't see why shared life total would double all damage.

Where are you getting "5 to each player twice"? Without kicker, it's 5 damage to one target. Add one kick (as in your example), and you add one more target. The first target is one "head", and the second (the one from the kick) is the other "head". Two targets, each getting dealt X (in this case, 5) damage. 5 damage times 2 targets equals 10 damage total. Perhaps you misread the card?

Ok. I saw the dot behind the word player, rather than behind the word kicked. So instead of reading:
choose another target creature or player for each time comet storm was kicked.
I read:
For each time comet storm was kicked, comet storm deals X damage to each of them.
Where that dot is can make a completely different card.
Please accept my Apologies.

Holy Mother of Runes, that card would be amazing. Well, glad we're clear now. Thanks for a rational discussion; that doesn't happen enough on teh Intarwebz. :D

Now if they'd just release $1 guaranteed-no-foil packs
The trouble, of course, is that if foil is worth 3x what non-foil is, then with all-foil going for $12 and normal going for $4 and normal including 1 foil in five packs of 15 cards... if it weren't for the fact of a foil replacing a common, one could calculate that the value of a non-foil pack would be about $3.89. Giving people the opportunity to save 11 cents by giving up foil isn't worth the bother of a new product line.

I still say that the flavor text pun is obvious enough to be unworthy of a Card of the Day entry. And maybe the sentence I misread would be clearer as "Just why the missing left arm and leg were better is left unexplained."
