They could go either way. But Disney is usually rather good about not forcing family friendly stuff on successful businesses they acquire. Disney owns Marvel but Marvel sure has not been toned down any time soon.

It could definetly mean price increases and such, though.

All I could see happening would be them changing the set release schedule to improve profits.

Where Islands gets his decks:

It was revealed to me in a dream.  All the cards were in my dream except for three slots which I plugged in as Vault Skirge.

FULL DISCLOSURE:  The dream was post AVR so there was a copy of Slayer's Stronghold.  I decided to keep it pre AVR in my post here.

EDIT: I just remembered.  The Skirges might have been 2x Whipflare and 1x something else, probably War and Peace.

EDIT2:  Currently 4-0 in my first four games with this.  My opponents have been very angry.  I fought off a Wurmcoil from Grixis for six turns before I found my second Dispatch.  Jeez, I can do a lot of damage.

EDIT3: Streak broken.  Lost to an unexpected Overrun.    Cracking a Shrine for 10 wasn't enough.   



How Kedi tests his decks:

also, I've been playtesting this deck in my sleep today
that kinda freaked me out

Humm... doesnt disney own an horror movie compagny and they dont advertize it much... You know going to see an horror movie with gore isnt good for the family image of Disney....

I could be wrong on this one, it's something I was told quite a while ago and I had never verified it, but the person that told that to me is rather reliable, so I'm just putting it out there, someone might know more about it.

Not sure about a horror movie company but they do own Touchstone Pictures which produced movies like Dark Water and the new Fright Night.

This movie really speaks to me. It has a ton of video game references. References to video games. Which is something that I spend my time on. I play video games and this movie knows it!

It's just mind-boggling. It's like this movie was made for me. Because I play video games. And it references them. The movie, that is. References video games. Some of which I have played. They know me too well.



Except it wasn't terrible. They had a chance to do what you're implying and just parade reference-after-reference but instead they decide to actually create a good movie! It is mind-boggling.

It's still obvious pandering, though.

Well yes, the advertising is obviously pandering. The movie itself doesn't really make a big deal about the references. Don't know if you've seen it, but there was never a point where they sacrificed plot so they could get in an extra reference.

They aren't going to risk losing the core fan base, it's the regulars that drive the company, they would never risk that.

Husband wanted to, but it doesn't show at our local cinema, and we're both too scared to go into Dublin at night for fear of drunk Irish people.

Which is basically a tautology, but you know.

I WOULD LOVE TO SEE MIRRODIN OR RAVNICA IN A MOVIE.

surprised no one has mentioned that.
