I'm getting even more excited about Innistrad now. It might just turn out to be all that I wanted Shadowmoor to be, but what it never was.

How to autocard and use decklist format  ---> Show
For autocarding, write [c][/c] with the name of the card inside it.

[c]Island[/c] = Island

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:

[c=Curse of the Cabal]Captain Never-resolves[/c] = Captain Never-resolves

For using the decklist format, follow this:
[deck]
4* Terramorphic Expanse
4* Evolving Wilds
...
[/deck]

It equals:

4 x Terramorphic Expanse
4 x Evolving Wilds
...

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".

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.

Innistrad looks absoluetly awesome. I think Zendikar and Scars of Mirrodin are actually some of the best blocks ever from a flavour POV, but I have a feeling Innistrad will top them.

Incidentally, I'm not a massive Jonathan Coulton fan, but I think he's pretty cool, and I love the Creepy Doll art. I wonder if there are any other cards named after songs.

Also, this just really makes me wish I was there. Going to ComicCon is one of those things that I absolutely have to do at least once in my life.

This.  I love gothic horror to bits.  Just based on the Creepy Doll art, I'm crazy excited for this set.  *gleeful shudder*

Zombies for blue being Frankenstein monsters piqued my interest.

It's a safe bet that there will be some green werewolves, and probably some red vampires.

I have no clue what white is going to get, though...that'll be a real trip.

Even so, I hope that I can make a nice Castlevania theme deck.

If it weren't for that song I really wouldn't like that card name :P It's so... Cheesy.

wow... that's a lackluster song. I really hope this card's name has nothing to do with it. On another note, does this mean no Stuffy Doll reprint? Sadness.
