    I agree with you.  The pixie has kidnapped a squirrel and is casting spells on it while the other squirrels hide.  That girl has a few screws loose and that's OK.

    Saw this coming, made sure my crafting since Zendikar came out didn't rely on Uro because of it.  I'll miss the animation, I liked that giant creeper face.  I'll also be sad because my Rogue deck loved to snatch him with Zareth San.  That was normally an auto-concede.

    I like artisan.  I wish they kept it up all the time.  It's a cheap way to play with some pretty fun decks and an entirely different meta.

    Pirates were the first people with medical insurance.  Blackbeard made sure his crews traveled with doctors and had specific payouts for injuries.  The crew was offered this plan as part of their employment in the fleet.  The British started losing so many sailors who were recruited by the health plans they were forced to start their own programs.  The crew were also offered paid time off for illness.  

    So your fact to gleam from this is Pirates had better accessible health care plans than most Americans.

    It's playable but I'm still getting an occasional game drop, almost always on the first turn or two.  Sort of annoying.

    After the 4g finished downloading it just started downloading a small patch.  I have no idea what happened but it seemed to delete itself and re-install then hotfix update itself.  <_<  Feel like we have some spaghetti code disaster happening.

    The 'Victorious Podium' mechanic is really neat.  I like the idea of shifting a certain type of card one up in your deck.  Still random, not quite a tutor, but a hardy probability shift card.

    It triggered my system saying it needed to install it all over again.  Ok, I said.  Then it had me sign in.  Ok, I said.  Now it says it needs a 4g download.  Ok, I said.  Now it's frozen at 1.85g downloaded.  >_>

    Looking forward to Omnath picking up the last black color in a future expansion.  I like how that character keeps evolving.  If you want to get really weird maybe one more appearance after that as colorless.

    This is a fun card and cool deck for the last day in standard but... WHEN DID THIS SITE GET A MTGA DATABASE?!

    Goes without saying but if you have the mastery pass or are close to a reward make sure to clean that up before Thursday.  I'm not 100% sure of this but I think on login when a new set rotates you get 3 new quests so clear out the log before then too.

    Syr Konrad looks like a young Christopher Lee.

    Bad case of crabs....   Cool design.  Pretty much impervious wall to anything but over costed hard removal.  Late game it brings some pain.

    "If we just keep printing cards that fuck over Uro we won't have to ban it."  -Designer of Shadow's Verdict

    Ancient Greenwarden + Fabled Passage = 4x landfall procs in one turn.  And since you can cast lands from your graveyard you can just play fabled passage each turn from your graveyard so long as the Greenwarden is alive.  I believe is you manage to have Azusa, Lost but Seeking in play then you can manage fetching 3 lands a turn and have 12 landfall procs by repeatedly playing the same Fabled Passage from your graveyard.

    Some are absolutely going to be super power houses.  The blue counterspell will likely be a staple in most mono-blue decks.  Some of them are great tools to avoid dead draws.  I think you'll see a lot, though many of them for specialized decks.  

    Sky Ruins is yum.  Great way to reclaim a board.  Think it's too hefty in cost for mono white unless it's a heavy control deck, possibly with the new auto-win angel card.

    A lot of equipment interactions being shown but not a lot of equipment.

    It's kinda Blue's thing.  Control, bounce, counter, draw, flying.  It's like playing HS and complaining warriors are getting new weapons.

    That being said a one mana counter is pretty damned powerful.  Even before the party mechanic it's disruptive as hell to tempo and rush game that plays mostly on curve till they're spent.
