Quote: Originally Posted by SirBruce It's absolutely accurate. The articles you're discussing are articles from non-designers regarding our *observations* of the color pie. No, I'm talking about many articles by Mark Rosewater (head of all Magic design), Tom LaPille (Magic developer), and other R&D employees who have written about the color pie, often in extensive detail. Never once has anyone, to the best of my...

Quote: Originally Posted by GrevenIl-Vec Then why titled "In the Teeth of Akoum" ? and that still leaves the question of who that fourth Eldrazi is. If the crypt is named after an Eldrazi (Agadeem) then a continent can be named as one also. We don't know that the figure pictured on the novel is infact an Eldrazi. If you read though the thread it was also suggested that it could be part of the brood lineage. Given the...

Or, it could be that because of the Eldrazi, Ugin was a Dragon Spirit. Of course, that explains why Sarkhan is there, what with his Dragon love. Sarkan is there because he's become a puppet of Bolas. Only those gifted with the eye of Ugin, the...

This thread has strayed entirely off-topic. If other individuals hear of a shortage of WWK from their distributor, contact a rumor mill moderator. (So we can track and see if it is more than on distributor saying this..) Anticipation of a shortage, and a shortage, are not one and the same, to clarify. __________________ On the constant goldfishing in the rumor mill: Quote: Originally Posted by mikemartin_lfs Drawing the exact sequence of...

Quote: Originally Posted by JeffDerek not really. It's available at too many places. Target, Kmart, Walmart, etc will all have it. My guess is it sticks pretty close to MSRP everywhere and is readily available. I could be wrong, and I've ordered two so I'll have an extra one if they do jump in price, but I expect I'll just crack it open and trade bits away J i fircken hate that NONE of those stores carry it in canada, its...
