Someone cast Pacifism on my Balloon Brigade. Then I cast Pacifism on his Squadron Hawk. Mine was less awkward, so I won. #m11 #draft
I played Act of Treason on my opponent's Yavimaya Wurm for just enough damage to win. Apparently, "that was gay" #m11 #draft
Nothing quite like losing a match because you played Act of Treason on an opponent's Primeval Titan then failed to attack with it. =/

Here's the situation: It's game 3 of a sealed game. You know your opponent has Mind Control, Aether Adept and Plummet still in his deck, so you should finish it quickly to avoid losing to topdecks. The field is as shown (click for larger view): If you Stampede and swing with everyone, you win! Unless he has Condemn, in which case you will lose. You never saw Condemn in previous games. If you swing with everyone except Platinum Angel he will fall to one life and you have to find a way to push through the extra damage later. What's

My #m11 Release Party was chock full of playables - Overwhelming Stampede, Royal Assassin, bunch of removal, etc. Nothing of value though.
Went 3-1 at the #m11 Release Party. Only good rare in my prize packs was a DoJ.
-
passed a pool with grave titan, doj. I got 2x white leyline in return. #m11
my #m11 prerelease record: an amazing 2-2! Prize packs had crap =/

White Leyline: Really? RDW died again. Reprint Anarchy! #mtg #m11
Slightly disappointed with the remainder of #m11. No Ranger of Eos, no Jace2, no Imperious Perfect, etc. Oh, and no @Grizzly_Bears #mtg
Devastating Force: I love it, but makes me wish we had better signets. #mtg #m11
Dark Tutelage: I would miss Phyrexian Arena a bit less if this guy could swing for two. Or at least cost a mana less. #mtg #m11
#m11 reminds me of rav block standard. There's hierarch, wildfire, a dark confidant effect, leylines. But yeah, better signets, stat! #mtg
-
Destructive Force: This card is literally "Wildfire+1". Is it because six is the new seven? Will Wildfire decks return? #mtg #m11
Autumn's Veil: This is pratically a green Flashfreeze. Will it be enough to fight the wave of new blue permission decks? #mtg #m11
-
leyline of punishment: rdw wish granted. #mtg #m11
-
I think more people would be happy than sad if JaceTMS was in #m11 #mtg
Fauna Shaman: Now that's what I'm talking about! As usual, @fivewithflores delivers the best previews. #m11 #mtg
Leyline of Anticipation: If your blue opponent has this out on turn 0, you're now playing a very different (and unfair) game. #m11 #mtg
Leyline of Anticipation: On the other hand, it might be possible to board this in AGAINST blue decks. #mtg #m11
I hope red gets "Leyline of X: All creatures lose shroud and protection. Damage can't be prevented. Players can't gain life." #m11 #mtg
Why do Relentless Rats keep getting reprinted? At least make it common so that it enables an exciting draft archetype! #mtg #m11
Fauna Shaman is a great card. That's a terrible name though. #mtg #m11
There was a rumor of Exotic Orchard reprinted because it appeared in @dailymtg card of the day. What about Emblem of the Warmind? #mtg #m11
@mtgaaron @maro254 @dailymtg Why don't we have an Orb of Insight for M11?
Temple Bell, Kormus Bell, Junkyo Bell...we have the makings of a Bell deck! Draw a lot of swamps, make them creatures and pump them! #mtg

Pyretic Ritual - first Timetwister, now Dark Ritual? #mtg #m11
I hope @fivewithflores has something good for us tomorrow. Other than the Lich, the previews this week have been a bit meh. #mtg #m11
I hope a pull a Juggernaut at the prerelease and fight today's preview card. I get to say "I'm the Juggernaut, Lich!" #mtg #m11
-
Boo SGC is out. #mtg #m11
#mtg #m11 @mtgaaron just confirmed Elvish Archdruid reprinted, that should debunk the silly Imperious Perfect rumor?
I think Grave Titan is easily the strongest of this cycle. #mtg #m11
Interestingly, Green Titan gets any lands, not just basics. #mtg #m11
Today's previews weren't as exciting as I had hoped. Though Grave Titan is solid, we already knew about this cycle. #mtg #m11
Gaea's Revenge needed trample. Or "Protection from nongreen" #mtg #m11
Hm... @maro254 's article mentioned "rare and mythic rare cycle that you'll be learning about pretty soon", what are they? #mtg #m11
Aw man, the number crunch already rules out Char in #m11. I need a replacement for Staggershock, it's kinda bad unless opp's at 4. #mtg #rdw
Turn 5/6 Primeval Titan fetching 2 Eldrazi temple. Untap, swing, 2 more Temples, land drop, Emrakul. #mtg
I wonder if Wizards will someday have a set with randomly assigned card numbers. Just to screw with number crunchers. #mtg
I would love me some of those Japanese alt. art Jace/Chandras. Probably gonna be hella expensive though. #mtg

Someday, someone will take out 4 O-Rings and 4 Spreading Seas with a single Back to Nature. It's going to be legendary! #mtg #m11
Goblin Balloon Brigade was reprinted so red decks could have a Goblin that could fly over Wall of Omens. #mtg #m11
Amused at the thread on salvation about the possibility of Goblin Piledriver being reprinted. It always reminds me of wrestling. #mtg #m11
I hope Eternal Witness gets reprinted now that she's out of extended. There's still space for her in the number crunch! #mtg #m11
-
Seriously? Imperious Perfect?
I'm not sure I get it. Isn't Overwhelming Stampede just a crappier Overrun at rare? Sure, the CC is slightly easier, but still... #mtg
Combust needed "can target creatures with protection or shroud as if they did not have protection or shroud" #mtg #m11

Still missing from today's M11 spoilers: Steel Overlord, Roc Egg, Frost Titan. #mtg I'll go to sleep, maybe they'll be there when I wake up!
Ah, Steel Overseer just got spoiled! http://bit.ly/aeH6RW #mtg
