So happy Wizards let me preview one of my favorite arts I've ever done for the game, Dawnhand Eulogist.
I got to work on this set from the very first stages from concept art, to the illustrations for my favorite plane Lorwyn <3

Never heard Em on an alt-rock station but have definitely heard Beastie Boys (and Hootie and the Blowfish).
It's still very funny to me that alternative rock stations will play Eminem, not because his music is anything close to rap-metal or anything like that, it's just because dude Is ever so white. That's the only reason.

I am mostly loving Lorwyn Eclipsed. But I’m also honest and can tell you when something stinks. The new champions cycle smells like doo-doo.
Wish we had more UB Faeries instead.

The more I think about this cycle, the less I like it. The mechanic is fiddly (see my previous post). Unless they print Kindred basic lands, there will definitely be times when you don’t have a Kindred to behold. And you can’t even do blink combo shenanigans like with Champion.

Yeah, there’s something fiddly about this mechanic. I know this is a “fixed” version of Champion but it feels awkward to me to behold (or not) then exile. Like couldn’t they have called it Contender and embedded the decision of what to exile without nesting the choice inside another choice?
Since I seen people consistantly miss this.....behold in this case can be card in hand BUT can also be amother creature you control. This cycle is a lot more playable then it looks at first glance.

Do you think Lorwyn’s performance will be hurt by the shorter preview season? The Wizards marketing people seem to be operating under the idea that Magic fans need to be hyped earlier and earlier.

I think it's funny that little kids sometimes don't understand what they're supposed to ask permission for. Linus just asked if he can reorganize his own books in his own bedroom. Yeah man, go for it

Got out of bed too quickly one morning, passed out hard onto a wicker hamper. Woke up in a pool of blood and dirty laundry.
I stabbed myself in the hand trying to break up frozen ice cream with a hot kitchen knife. Three stitches and nerve damage from that one. Nothing hurts like cutting into a nerve.
What's the most ridiculous way you ever hurt yourself? I got out of the tub, skidded in water and tripped over the toilet. Ankle sprain.
