I know it's not a new announcement, but man that Duel Deck pairing seems oddly placed every time I see it. Ajani vs Nicol Bolas was the climax of the Alara block, two years ago!. It made sense then for them to be dueling. Now it seems about as relevant as Kamahl vs Akroma.
Free MTGO Tournaments you should be playing: Pauper (all commons) - Tuesday Nights, prizes by MTGOTraders Peasant (Pauper + 5 uncommons, with paper rarity) - Sunday Nights, prizes by MTGOTraders Silverblack (Modern-era Commons and Uncommons - Most Wednesday nights, prizes by MTGO Bazaar Heirloom ("Cheap" cards only, e.g. rares under 20 cents) - Sunday afternoons, sponsored by MTGOTraders Check the superbly-made Gatherling site for more. Other games you should try: Spectromancer - Online card game by Richard Garfield, available cheap on Steam. DC Universe Online - action-based MMO. Free to play. Surprised me how well designed it is.

Awesome art for the two planeswalkers, although Nicol Bolas is slowly morphing from actual dragon to Kamigawa snake with each new picture.

The quality of the sketch art for Pride Guardian gave me an idea. What would be a good way to do alternate art cards with early concept art? Just brainstorming: if premium commons came with alternate art (and rough pieces are a good way of getting it without commissioning new work) they would be much less of a let-down. Preferably foil frames with non-foil art, but that's a surprisingly more complicated process than full-foil.

Li Meng's mono black control deck makes my Johnny feel good, because the flavour is consistent (its a mono-colour deck that is actually mono-coloured, for one) and cos it has some nice singletons, 2-ofs and 3-ofs in the deck, instead of just playsets. Got a cool sideboard too ^_^ Pity I will never have three Phyrexian Obliterators

The "complete" spoiler is still missing some cards, if I'm not mistaken. Red's missing a card somewhere(Other sites are saying Circle of Flame), and the Throne, Scepter, and Crown of Empires are missing from the artifacts page.
Just sayin'.
Also: I just realized I have all the cards for the mono-black control decklist. I wonder if I should slap it together and run it at FNM this week, or just draft my final godbye game to Scars block...?

The "complete" spoiler is also missing Terramorphic Expanse.
No TE in the core set? Bad Wizards! No biscuit for you! Bad!
Seriously, what the hell? TE should have remained in the core set until the end of time.

TE has been replaced with Manalith to play nice with Metalcraft, as opposed to Landfall.

With the ever-so-slight exception that TE is a staple and Manalith is a heaping turd.

Manalith is unlimited-use mana accel with fixing attached, while TE is just fixing that sets you back a turn.
They're both fine.
