Confirmed, server error here. This is what the link leads to, with 'Greater than' symbols replaced with 'V': Spoiler:
Show
Server Error in '/' Application.
Runtime Error
Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.
Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to "Off".
V!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->
Vconfiguration>
Vsystem.web>
VcustomErrors mode="Off"/>
V/system.web>
V/configuration>
|
Notes: The current error page you are seeing can be replaced by a custom error page by modifying the "defaultRedirect" attribute of the application's configuration tag to point to a custom error page URL.
V!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->
Vconfiguration>
Vsystem.web>
VcustomErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="mycustompage.htm"/>
V/system.web>
V/configuration>

To get to the article, log out of the forums. You may also have to navigate in from wizards.com; I didn't have much luck with going directly to Daily MTG through my bookmark toolbar.

Pretty lackluster article, it cemented my dislike of ROE.
I don't mind them wanting to promote a diffrent style of play, but changing it this drastically seems like a bad idea.
The spread thing was an interesting tidbit, but in the end fell short. Any large project runs into this kind of system of parrellel solutions.

ROE isn't for me, i'm sad to see that the land theme was ended for this themeless pile of high converted mana costs.

Hmmm... this preview card seems ok. The art isn't quite the style I like, but its decent. Depending on the other cards that support it, I might be tempted by this one (maybe).
Thanks for the article Mr R. I wish I could say I was more interested in RoE, but you can't like everything.

The design of this set is unlike any previous Magic set. I can't wait to try it out myself.

Thanks for the tip. Would have been handy yesterday as well but better late than never 
I don't think I have ever been this indifferent to a brand new card set. I can't even be "mad" at it like Lorwyn. I feel nothing at all. It took me some time to figure out if the article is bad or if I just don't care about the topic. But after last week's "walls, fatties, auras and inefficient small creatures" article, it would probably have taken a "just kidding!" article this week to bring me back aboard.
I am skipping this prerelease. The thought of actually playing with these cards versus hanging out at the marina watching boats all day is unexciting at best, yawn-inducing at worst.

I liked the card. It could be interesting with all the ways there are to have lots of Eldrazi Spawn tokens in play, but unfortunately these tokens probably won't appear in any other set.....
I understand why so many players dislike RoE. It's a very different set, which generates very different opinions. I like it so far because of that, it will be a new experience and will create new challenges, (not to mention the big creatures, I'm a Timmy-Johnny player).
But a lot can go wrong, so let's wait and see...
