I figure there might be enough people interested in magic to make a thread, and see if anyone wants to chat.
I have been loving the BFZ previews, the card flavour looks really awesome, and the ongoing stories in Uncharted Realms have been really good too. Still don't like Jace much though. But Gideon and Nissa are both great.
As soon as I saw the Sphinx they previewed with Landfall/Islandfall I knew they were going to print a new set of dual lands with basic land types. Really wish I had put that prediction somewhere public as I have no evidence of it now.

Soooooo much product is gonna get opened in the search for the Zendikar Expeditions. That may even keep the average rare/mythic price down for this set.
My appreciation for Jace is growing, I have to admit. Like, he seems genuinely reluctant to use his memory-rewriting power (as indicated in today's Uncharted Realms) and he's delightfully snarky to Ugin in the flavour text on Hedron Archive. I'm looking forward to seeing what changes Chandra's mind and gets her to join the battle. And I suspect that future blocks are going to look at where Emrakul and Kozilek have headed off to (perhaps something to do with the Oath these four make in the next set, which would keep them in focus)... Can't say I'm a big fan of Nissa, even if her powers are nifty.

Yeah, I might get a box as a 'first paycheck in new job' present to myself.  Clearly not that reluctant, he could have tried explaining to the other person why it was necessary for a bit longer, rather than just forcing it. But maybe that was in the cause of concise story telling. I like Nissa because of how she came across in her origin story maybe. Jace was not so bad in his, but he has started to annoy me again now. They were all pretty cool in the origin stories, except maybe Gideon - who has been really cool in the BFZ story so far imo. |

Draft is just the best thing. We need to get you up to London for a draft at some point. |

If by "tomorrow" you mean "yesterday", yes! I was there, as were you. We saw each other. This post is super-helpful! In other news, Oneiros mentioned he met someone who was starting up an MTG podcast, and might have some cross-promotional opportunities for us. I do feel like magic content would be a pretty natural extension for some of us. |
