Hm...well I was already planning on going up to Boston for AB on Easter weekend. Perhaps I could afford to swing by pax on friday. It's just ~2 miles east of AB...
******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** From Mark Rosewater's Tumblr: the0uroboros asked: How in the same set can we have a hexproof, unsacrificable(not a word) creature AND a land that makes it uncounterable. How does this lead to interactive play? I believe I’m able to play my creature and you have to deal with it is much more interactive than you counter my creature. ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** Post #777

Am I just completely missing something, what is the purpose of Grove in the tron deck?

The Dark Ascension video was awesome, but it helped that it had the amazing twist of Avacyn being created by Sorin. With this video, I'm completely convinced that you guys are just great at making these promotional videos, with or without shocking twists. I'm very excited for the set now.

Okay, this Helvault thing is a waaaaay better gimmick than Mirran vs Phyrexia or Humans vs. Monsters.

It's just a good color fixer. Even though combos with it are limited since Punishing Fires  was banned, a land that makes two colors on turn 1, comes in untapped, and doesn't hurt you is pretty good. This deck, being a control deck, could honestly care less about its opponent's life total.

I'm also wondering why he wouldn't use another GR dual, there's no combo that involves giving your opponent life as far as I can tell..
EDIT: I see, person above me makes a good point.

Okay, here is the clincher. I've been waiting to say this.
The "cam girl" this was inspired by was just a girl from a social networking website, Stickam. Her name was TinyTerror and she was just a regular girl who was on her webcam, totally unrelated to any type of adult content.
I hope you all feel really smart now. 
This is like someone coming into class with a bloody nose and everyone's like "Jeez what happened to you" and they're like "I ran into a wall" and everyone laughs at them for being an idiot but then at the end of the class they say "HAHA JUST KIDDING I PUNCHED MYSELF IN THE FACE!!!!!! TALK ABOUT OWNED HAHAHAHAHA"
I really enjoy imagining this from Kevin's perspective. Because in Kevin's world, Rosewater actually reads everything he types. Mark is sitting there right now, reading this, and thinking "The greatest trick the devil ever pulled. . ." Or some such. He chuckles low, then clicks on "The Best Of KEVINSET" and says "Yes, this'll do just fine. A busty lady with banding who deals direct damage to Zones!? Why this will be the star of my next set, and no one will ever believe you Kevin." Then he closes his Macbook, so his servant may move it out of the way, while another servant puts a Fetal Richard Garfield Clone lathered in Steak Sauce in front of him. Then Mark Feasts.
Sorin walked into the chamber where his newly wed bride, Vampy, awaited. A beam of moonlight illuminated his brilliant silver hair as he strode with confidence towards the bed. His shirtless body showcased his powerful abdominal muscles and he was wearing jeans with holes in the knees.
I wish more girls play magic cards...
Have you considered assassinating Kevin?

Oh. My. God. After Emo Jace, we now get Emo Angel. Blackish Angel =/= Emo Angel.
Also, to be honest, I think this whole Avacyn Restored thing is overdone. Sorin clearly created Avacyn to maintain balance. The humans winning =/= balance. I'm starting to see why his vampire family is so angry at him.
Zindaras' meta is like a fossil, ancient and its secrets yet to be uncovered. Only men of yore, long dead, knew of it.

Who says the humans are winning, or are going to win? They existed for a long time before with Avacyn, and the monsters are all still around, so obviously even Avacyn isn't enough to wipe out the non-humans. And keep in mind that this was back when she'd already sealed a whole bunch of demons away. If, even with all the demons sealed up, she couldn't wipe monsters out completely, then how could she possibly do it now that all the demons are free again?
However, the humans do need a large number of victories for the story to work. Seeing as they're on the brink of extinction in Dark Ascension, it's going to take a lot of work, and even more luck, just to get back to where they were before.
However, if Wizards does decide to go for a "happily ever after" ending (which I doubt they will, but after how the last couple of blocks ended they might be tempted to give us a happy ending for once... here's hoping not) I will agree with your post wholeheartedly. If Sorin did make Avacyn strong enough to eventually wipe out the vampires, then he seriously messed up, and his kin have every right to be upset with him.
