I find it a little sad that they didn't go with "rotting corpse Izanami" like in the actual myth.

The whole thing is still silly since the "sealed" bit of her story was just that a boulder got really wedged into the entrance of the realm of the dead and so she got stuck in there. Unsurprisingly, this made her very angry and bitter. I might as well tune into the QA stream later this week and ask Jordan Blanco about the process for developing art for the cards and their choices in portrayal of characters like Izanami. You know, worded to get some answers about the matter without setting him on guard or whatever. I need to get some translation issues with Gwiber ironed out anyway.

I'm phone posting so I can't get a good picture for what I'm talking about, and I've now found out people have some... interesting (read:  ) fan art of her.

To be fair, she would have been utterly, ridiculously broken with her original rule set. Illusionary Demonic Globe, the Earth, one darkness will, and she forces your opponent to discard a card every turn. You kill their hand (or they play it out) and as long as you could keep cards milled into your yard, they were locked out of the game. Now, she's a 2 mana 6/6 with a 4 mana instant speed kill spell from the yard. She'll be forgotten about and kill something juicy and probably win the game for you.

You'll need to google around, but yeah, there are primers for the at least the tournament winning decks usually sitting around somewhere. For brews, the answer is more iffy. Here's an article on R&R Alice's World by one of the best players at the moment. I've met the guy, he knows what he's talking about.

SPOILERS! And they're so much better this time around. The article The cards. Thumbelina belongs to Valkyrie Alice, no question about it, even though with Yggdrasil coming in soon, I don't know if the meta will be slow enough for it. Dying Swallow on the other hand, likely belongs to Grimm. And if you're not Grimm and using this (for some reason), it probably means you're grabbing a second Swallow and two more Cheshire Cats. And Dance of Inspiration is probably just the best blue instant in the game to date. Double blocks, double attacks, double rest abilities. Double Drill Sergeant triggers.

So my friend gave us his copy of Alice in Wonderland last night and our order of two Vingolf sets arrived on Monday. What cards work well with Alice in Wonderland? I'm tempted to tell her to run Shakespeares and go with 1 each of the dual-mana stones so every Shakespeare effectively reads "when this comes into play, put the top card of your mana stone deck into play". I imagine the cards from the Vingolf set that get bonuses from running multiple colors would also be good. Is there any other good cards she should look at if she wants to take full advantage of Alice's Judgement ability?

Aside from the obvious one, Moojdart, the big thing to remember about Alice is that you don't need to necessarily have all five colors to make her good. She does read: Pay one fire to do 1000 damage to a resonator and get a 700/700. However, getting all five colors online is the fun part about her, so let's get to that... That said, when I originally got into the game and managed to pull an Alice, I also did the same thing with Shakespeare. I found the best way to go about it was focus on a stone base with two colors. That means two stones of the two major colors you're using, and then one of each of the remaining stones that share a color with the primary colors you're working with. That should give you ten stones, the most consistency with your Shakespeares (unless you swap one out with just a single color stone), and the ability to safely work with two particular colors. From there, it should be alright to splash for other colors lightly, especially if you're running Ryoma. Other cards that produce will of any attribute include Spawn of Blazer (though dragons mostly come in red), Fiethsing, and, of course, Little Red Stone. Socrates works well Leonardo da Vinci and Pricia, Beast Queen in Hiding. Whirlpool of Knowledge can more or less draw you five cards. If you're absolutely desperate for fixing, check out House of the Old Man.

Well, apparently the website is having a lot of issues updating for whatever reason. So instead of choking to death, it's just doing nothing. The Facebook page had the new spoilers though: http://imgur.com/a/zQ6kV Looks like they're making "removed from the game" a second graveyard.

If Magic is doing it... Those particular resonators look pretty crazy if you can trigger 10 cards in exile, especially the 10/10 for 1 with swiftness. Edit: Also spoiled on Facebook via quest cards, "Wall of Wind" G, Spell Chant-Instant. Cancel target spell unless your opponent pays 1. So, Force Spike is freaking sweet. And... "Space-Time Anomoly" UB, Spell Chant-Instant Remnant Target j/resonator gets -5/-5 until end of turn. Draw a card. Also a bonkers as gently caress card.

Speaking of which, does anyone know of a resource that lists the source of all the playmats? Apparently mats are also given out in tournaments? My friend and I were looking for an equivalent mat that was only released as part of a buy-3 bundle so we could get a better idea of how much to value the Kaguya mat. I look on eBay and I can't tell what's a promo mat or where they came from.

Can't say I know about that, but I've also been talking with one of the writers of Grinning Remnant. Considering that he knows everything ever about every collectible card in the game and then some, he might have some knowledge on playmats?

He's good with Yamata, but I think it's going to be more practical along side the likes of Little Red's granny and that darkness witch we saw earlier. Also, we haven't had too many resonators with attack greater than toughness, but he could be useful there as well.

Posting spoilers as I trip upon them: Not really feeling it for this card. Even if the mana slows down a ton, it's competing with Gretel, there are two drops with 6/6 stats, and lots of other stuff. I think she's just limited fodder.

 Literally, it's just look at the shinies. The awakening mode only really matters if you're trying to land more counters on Kaguya or if you're against another wind deck with counterspells. Even then, this really only helps against threats, using it to counter a counterspell still leaves your original spell open to be countered again. Also, a lot of Kaguya's cards that we know of are very proactive at the moment. It's a good card but I'm not sure if it has a home.

I almost spit my drink out at Space-Time Anomaly having Remnant, but then I remembered -5/-5 isn't as a good in this game as it is in Magic. Still insane to have a cantrip on a Remnant card though.

Still insane to have a cantrip on a Remnant card though. In Magic this card would do -3/-3 (Thunder is basically FoW's Bolt and it does 500). Still pretty good since it draws and each copy represents 2 uses.

Sadly though, it's not quite hitting the crucial level of 600 to deal with a lot of the new two drops we're seeing. It'll still likely see play, but it's not necessarily a 4 for 1 like everyone thinks. By the way, new article. Beasts currently suck and so we made them not suck by added red to it. Woo. Also, this reddit topic has a compilation of all the cards revealed through the quest mail stuff so far. Ramos fucked around with this message at 08:15 on Feb 23, 2016 |

Terrene posted:What goes on at a pre-release exactly? I'm really new to the FoW scene. You get 6 boosters with which to construct a 20 card deck, along with an 8 mana stones deck. If you don't open a ruler you're given a proxy ruler called 'Clockwork Magic Furnace' with the following abilities: Clockwork Magic Furnace The first time you call for a Magic Stone each game, you may instead search your Magic Stone Deck for a Magic Stone and put it into your Magic Stone Area. This replacement occurs only once per game. Judgement (4) J-Ruler Side Pierce 1000/800 Some prerelease general tips: If you haven't played Magic:the Gathering before here's some types of cards to look out for: 1) Bomb Resonators/ Spells that are swingy when you cast them, eg the new Valentina that gains control of a Resonator. 2) Removal Spells, eg. Luminescent Bamboo Bullet. Note there is a lot of Resonators that double as removal spells, so you'll definitely want to play those or at the very least side them in. 3) Combat Tricks, eg Kaguya's Premonition, that allow you catch your opponent off guard or trade with stronger resonators. 4) Dual Colour Stones, as are they allow you to be much more flexible with your mana base, not to mention you can always search for them first turn with the Clockwork Magic Furnance. Feel free to ask any other questions!

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bw7SUeVuf8uhRHI0dHpWbS1hdEU/view There's a link to the top 8 decklists, and the standings at the end of swiss. Dan got first, Antyn was second, Eric got third, and Ken got fourth. 265 players overall, which was pretty fantastic considering we were 3.5 hours away from a 1500+ player MTG Grand Prix. I can't make Richmond, but I should be scorekeeping the other 5 AGPs on the continental US (Pittsburgh, Charlotte, St. Louis, Orlando, and Providence). If you can make it to them, come say hello!

One Split Heaven and Earth in the top 8, there's your issue. Anyway, with all of the sporadic quest clear cards flying about, it's been a bit hard to keep up. Here's the full list so far though, minus Athena. She was there for a while though before being taken down, presumably because the main site wants to unveil her. Also, this weekend I'm going to be heading up to Richmond for the tournament up there. Any other goons heading in that direction?
