Re: Qwerpline Ep01 - Damnable Dams

Kept getting better as the episode went on, peaking with Lor...Ms. Schli...caller. Then, I was disappointed that it ended before I got to find out: how many beavers DOES it take to flood the highway? Because it happened!

Re: Vorthos Story Corner: Battle for Zendikar

Ooh, good find. I re-entered Magic after getting out around Ice Age briefly during Alara and only really during Khans, so my knowledge of original Zendikar block cards is not great. The card previews are really starting to 'spoil' the story. For now, notice that: 1) Ulamog is the only titan we've se...

Stingers seem to popping up on Crapshots more often now aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand now I have an AskLRR question. Crap, it'll probably be a long time until there's another one.

Re: Vorthos Story Corner: Battle for Zendikar

Speaking of flavor text, apparently the choice of name for the leader of the Eternal Pilgrims is not at all random - she shows up on the flavor text on a few cards from Zendikar and Rise . Survivors of Sky Rock Gideon is wrangling giant chunks of floating land, like you do on Zendikar, to try to get...

Re: Battle for the Spoiler Season of Zendikar

Since the Scions are "mature Spawn" (they're 1/1's instead of 0/1's), I assume that Spawn won't be showing up. However, I'm also interested in finding out what a Processor is in terms of the Eldrazi. http://mythicspoiler.com/bfz/cards/blightherder.jpg Mechanically, I don't know how well i...

Re: Vorthos Story Corner: Battle for Zendikar

So, new info from PAX: not much. (note: I'm not there, been following on stream, YouTube, and Twitter). Gideon's been spoiled, and he's still mono-white. We haven't (I don't think) seen anything with Chandra on it in BFZ yet; I'm wondering if she won't show up until later? The second set of the bloc...

Re: Magnum Rewatch 25 - Mad Buck Gibson

Just to fix the ending, pretend that the end credits play for about 2 seconds, then put a big record scratch and have Magnum in a boat, watching a hang glider slowly hit the water and then grabbing MAD BUCK GIBSON and hauling him aboard.

A day late, but not a snark short; it's Nissa time! For Zendikar Nissa's in Vastwood Forest , talking to herself. I mean, there's a giant elemental that keeps following her around, but it doesn't seem to understand or listen to her. Nissa decides to name it Ashaya. Linguistic Vorthos time: one of Ni...
