• No Llanowar, no BoP, no Noble Hierarch in #M13, all we get is... Arbor Elf? =/

• If I get one of each color mana myr into play, I should have an option to Form Voltron. #som #mtg

  [19:40] Fun fact: Glint Hawk and Glint Hawk Idol are consecutive in the same common print run. #som #mtg

  [19:41] Glint Hawk Idol sounds like a reality show where Glint Hawks compete while being criticized by Stern Judges.

• If you have a Necrotic Ooze in play and a Myr Propagator in the 'yard, activating the Myr's ability with the ooze creates a 2nd ooze? #mtg

  [06:15] What about if you Clone a Necrotic Ooze while there's a Myr Propagator in the 'yard, then activate the ability? #mtg #som

  [06:19] Tunnel Ignus' FAQ entry should have emphasized how it is pronounced.

• Woah new duals are sweet. http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/ld/108

  [20:12] Must be getting harder to name duals...they had to invent a cycle of compound words!

• After the weekend previews, today's Scars previews seem so tame.

• I like how Venser PW is 5cc. Recent "good" PWs such as SarkhanTM / Gideon were also 5cc, I guess wizards has found a good cost for PWs #mtg

  [05:25] So, Clone Shell + Emrakul? No extra turn though.

  [05:39] Metalcraft seems a bit too easy to trigger, especially with something like Stoneforge Mystic in std.

  [05:40] Phylactery Lich + Darksteel Axe? Lich smash!

  [09:26] OMG Elspeth makes 3 dudes!

2010 July

• Destructive Force: This card is literally "Wildfire+1". Is it because six is the new seven? Will Wildfire decks return? #mtg #m11

  [12:31] Autumn's Veil: This is pratically a green Flashfreeze. Will it be enough to fight the wave of new blue permission decks? #mtg #m11

2010 June

• Pyretic Ritual - first Timetwister, now Dark Ritual? #mtg #m11

  [13:57] I hope @fivewithflores has something good for us tomorrow. Other than the Lich, the previews this week have been a bit meh. #mtg #m11

  [16:28] 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

  [12:11] #mtg #m11 @mtgaaron just confirmed Elvish Archdruid reprinted, that should debunk the silly Imperious Perfect rumor?

  [12:11] I think Grave Titan is easily the strongest of this cycle. #mtg #m11

  [12:15] Interestingly, Green Titan gets any lands, not just basics. #mtg #m11

  [13:37] Today's previews weren't as exciting as I had hoped. Though Grave Titan is solid, we already knew about this cycle. #mtg #m11

  [13:42] Gaea's Revenge needed trample. Or "Protection from nongreen" #mtg #m11

  [13:45] Hm... @maro254 's article mentioned "rare and mythic rare cycle that you'll be learning about pretty soon", what are they? #mtg #m11

  [23:54] 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

  [12:19] Turn 5/6 Primeval Titan fetching 2 Eldrazi temple. Untap, swing, 2 more Temples, land drop, Emrakul. #mtg

  [23:56] I wonder if Wizards will someday have a set with randomly assigned card numbers. Just to screw with number crunchers. #mtg

  [12:26] I would love me some of those Japanese alt. art Jace/Chandras. Probably gonna be hella expensive though. #mtg

• Seriously? Imperious Perfect?

  [20:30] 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

  [20:38] 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!

  [19:54] Ah, Steel Overseer just got spoiled! http://bit.ly/aeH6RW #mtg

• Lorwyn -- Some Other Cards of Note

  Lorwyn prerelease in two days, and of course MTG Salvation is spoiler-complete. Some thoughts on cards: Thoughtseize -- B Sorcery (Rare) Target player reveals his or her hand. Choose a nonland card from it. That player discards that card. You lose 2 life. My take: Undercosted cards that demand a 2 life payment are usually pretty good. (See: Shocklands, Char, Psionic Blast, Vampiric Tutor). Thoughtseize is widely anticipated to be the chase rare of the set, with starcitygames.com pre-order prices starting at a staggering 17.50 USD. That seems bit too high for a utility spell though, so I'm not going

• Lorwyn -- Planeswalkers

  The full spoiler is of course now available at MtgSalvation; I'll talk about planeswalkers first. Each planeswalker is rare and has 3 abilities: a normal attack, a special move, and a finishing move. Ajani Goldmane 2ww Planeswalker -- Ajani +1: You gain 2 life -1: Put a +1/+1 counter on each creature you control. Those creatures gain vigilance until end of turn. -6: Put a white Avatar creature token into play with "This creature's power and toughness are each equal to your life total. Loyalty: 4 My take: Unlike every other planeswalker, resolving Ajani's "finishing move" does not guarantee a
