I so knew when the previews were going to start. Now I have one more reason to look forward to the 9th. Can't wait to see the conclusion to this great story.

I wonder if the Helvault event will truly matter, unlike the New Phyrexia/Mirrodin Pure trick last year.
In any case, I look forward to Avacyn's return to Innistrad.

I have a feeling that this block in particular would have made a great movie or trilogy of movies. The stories behind the sets just keep getting better every year.

I think Thalia will become a planeswalker in Avacyn Restored. And I feel either Garruk or Liliana will die, possibly Garruk..
Either way, I like how this story is developing.

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?

They can't kill Garruk. He's our only green 'Walker besides Nissa Revane  , and she's too narrow to put in a Core Set. Plus they wouldn't introduce a new 'walker in the core set because no backstory. Admittedly, they could do a Revane remake, but I'm betting on Garruk surviving to be reprinted another day.

My guess is that, since black mages are so terrible at dealing with artifacts (I think there's exactly one mono-black card that says "destroy target artifact"), Garruk will be the one to destroy the Helvault. On accident, of course. When Liliana is trying to destroy the Helvault, Garruk will find her and try to kill her (Bramblecrush? He's even saying the flavor text). He'll miss due to his curse and smash the Helvault instead. Just a guess, of course, but it makes sense considering how they're making a big deal out of Garruk's relentlessness.

In the promo video in today's arcana, Liliana somehow tricks/coerces Thalia into breaking open the vault. I don't blame you for having that theory, though, it's a pretty plausible assumption to make. I think a lot of people expected Garruk to be involved in the breaking of the Helvault. I suppose he still could be, since we don't know all the details.

It's possible they introduce a new mono-green Planeswalker in Avacyn Restored, kill off Garruk, and replace him in the core set with the new 'walker. I hope not, though. If they're going to kill off a Planeswalker, please let it be Jace.

... So... i guess this means that there will absolutely not be a book then... I was really hoping for a book of this... it's kinda disapointing considering how much flavor was in this set... then again afer hearing the opinions about QfK and ToM it may be for the best... I think wizards is just to cheap to hire writers that are actually good...
