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).
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.
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.
For linking a card to Gatherer without writting the name of said card for readers, use the autocard brackets together with and equal sign and right the name of the real card. Then put the message you want inside the tags, like you would do with autocarding. Like this:
I like storm crow because I really like crows in real life, as an animal, and the card isn't terribly stupid, but packs a good deal of nostalgia and also a chunck of the game's history. So it's perhaps one of the cards I have most affection to, but not because "lol storm crow is bad hurr hurr durr".
Although I do assume you deliberately refer to them (DCI) as The Grand Imperial Convocation of Evil just for the purposes of making them sound like an ancient and terrible conspiracy.
Now, now. 1994 doesn't quite qualify as "ancient".
Oh, it's a brilliant plan. You see, Bolas was travelling through shadowmoor, causing trouble, when he saw a Wickerbough Elder with its stylin' dead scarecrow hat. Now, Bolas being Bolas took the awesome hat and he put it on his head, but even with all his titanic powers of magic he couldn't make it fit. He grabbed some more scarecrows, but then a little kithkin girl asked if he was trying to build a toupee. "BY ALL THE POWERS IN THE MULTIVERSE!" he roared, "I WILL HAVE A HAT WORTHY OF MY GLORY." and so he went through his Dark Lore of Doom (tm) looking for something he could make into a hat that would look as stylish on him as a scarecrow does on a treefolk. He thought about the Phyrexians, but they were covered in goopy oil that would make his nonexistant hair greasy. He Tried out angels for a while but they didn't sit quite right. Then, he looked under "e" (because in the Elder Draconic alphabet, "e" for Eldrazi is right next to "h" for Hat) in his Dark Lore of Doom and saw depictions of the Eldrazi, and all their forms. "THIS SHALL BE MY HAT!" he declared, poking a picture of Emrakul, "AND WITH IT I WILL USHER IN A NEW AGE OF DARKNESS -- ER, I MEAN A NEW AGE OF FASHION!"
And so Nicol Bolas masterminded the release of the Eldrazi.
The last couple days have been roughly every perverse fetish imaginable, but it only got "creepy" when speculation on Mother of Runes's mob affiliation came up?
I like to think up what I consider clever names for my decks, only later to be laughed at by my wife. It kills me a little on the inside, but thats what marriage is about.
Of course, the best use [of tolaria west ] is transmuting for the real Tolaria.
Absolutely. I used to loose to my buddy's Banding deck for ages, it was then that I found out about Tolaria , and I was finally able win my first game.
Browbeat is a card that is an appropriate deck choice when there's no better idea available. "No better idea available" was pretty much the running theme of Odyssey era.
Modern is like playing a new tournament every time : you build a deck, you win with it, don't bother keeping it. Just build another, its key pieces will get banned.
I always find it helpful when im angry to dress up in an owl costume and rub pennies all over my body in front of a full body mirror next to the window.

Playing Magic without Blue is like sleeping without any sheets or blankets. You can do it...but why?

Just do it like Yu-Gi-Oh or monkeys: throw all the crap you got at them and hope it works or else the by-standers (or opponents) just get dirty and pissed.
Normally it's difficult to pick up on your jokes/sarcasm. But this one's pretty much out there. Good progress. You have moved up to Humanoid. You'll be Human in no time.

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.
