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.

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.
Including opaque card sleeves in this pack would have been elegant and well received.
If they could keep it at the same price, they should have done that and announced it in the initial article about how the flip cards work. In all likelihood, however, it would have simply increased the price of the fat pack by the cost of the sleeves, which would have only caused complaints about them 'shoving sleeves down our throats'.
Granted, if they included sleeves and maintained the price I'm sure we'd have people complaining that the color didn't match their deck or something, but at least that would be an extreme minority that most people wouldn't take seriously.
Stop using "IMO" in sentences that aren't opinion. If you don't think a deck will ever be tier 1, that's great - but it's not an opinion. It's a prediction of the future.
I identify as neither male nor female. You may refer to me with either gender pronoun or the singular they, whichever suits you best. ^_^
Everybody knows that having your awesome creatures killed before they can do anything is frustrating, but the Red mage in me doesn't seem to understand why it's so bad when his creatures spontaneously combust into Flame Javelin s and make his opponent discard something at the same time.
I agree the deckboxes are subpar. At the least I wish they'd make them big enough for 60 sleeved cards. For now I use them to store 16 of each land per set (for collecting reasons) or for a set of land to take to events in case we draft (or pack wars etc).
Maybe WotC doesn't want to eat into Ultra-pro's business.
I've never bought a fat pack, but are the deck boxes really that bad? It seems particularly odd in a set that's built around "everybody uses sleeves" to have boxes that don't accomodate sleeves. Does Wizards have a branded box they sell separately or do you think they're really just making room for Ultra-Pro?
Personally, I think the deck boxes are fine (the large ones and the small ones). The large ones hold multiple decks for me, and the small boxes are used for housing decks. They're the kind of deck boxes that you used to get theme decks/fat packs in. I really miss those, so I'm very happy that I get some in the fat packs now.
Other than that, I'm stoked that Liliana is on this box. I'm so excited to pick mine up!

I'm both instinctive and emotional. I value my own instincts and desires, and either ignore or crush anything that stands in my way; planning and foresight are unnecessary. At best, I'm determined and fierce; at worst, I'm headstrong and infantile.

Yes, of course, whithout increasing the price. They could remove something, like, for example, one of the deckboxes. They have two boxes. 60 sleeves and one box would be very nice of them, and would avoid many issues, I think.

I personally like this idea, though I could see a lot of people getting pissed off over 'losing' a deck box... I don't really know anyone who's actually happy with the current fat pack setup, but they must be out there since they're obviously being sold (if sales had stopped they would have gone back to the old setup).
I think it would be an objectively good change... I'm just not sure how well recieved it would be among the fat-pack buying though.

I find it somewhat funny that despite everything else, the one record Magic doesn't have is the one Wizards (or at least Hasbro) probably cares the most about: Best selling.
