Hollister is like the Troll and Toad to Star City\’s Abercrombie.

“Was it the Chad?” – Tom Green

If that\’s how it works, I like Phoenix even less, now.

Will Brimaz be the prerelease promo?

I’m in full agreement with yuka on this one. Hero was in Mirrodin Besieged, which had Sword of Feast and Famine as the main reason to buy into the set, which has exactly 8 rares worth more than $1 (on SCG) though most of the mythics are better than bulk (lots of casual all stars like Blightsteel, Glissa, and Praetor’s Council, Consecrated Sphinx). I feel that BoTG is VERY similar to Besieged and Brimaz very similar to Hero of Bladehold (which had a peak of around $20). He’s good, but double white by turn 3 means you’re most likely sticking to Mono-white or more likely G/W, neither of which has enough removal right now.

I had something different, but a regulatory agency that monitors indecency on the internet changed it to \”speculators\”. What I had was a reference to something that is illegal in 47 states and the nation state of Georgia (ironically, the US state of Georgia legalized it.)

I didn\’t like Xenagos the Planeswalker, either, and he saw a non-zero amount of play. If Xenagos is a standout, it\’s only because almost nothing else in the set stands out besides Brojob, king of weenieboners.

Hero was also in a set with other good mythics.

I don\’t have an opinion about Xenagos other than to say I expect people to try and do cute this with it, but it could get there. I wouldn\’t play cards I wouldn\’t play otherwise in a Xenagos deck, but I imagine it improves stuff like Polukranos and stuff you would play already.

…. Now I have to scrap the entire article.

Also, bummer…. maybe you don\’t have to wait as long to buy Lion King

I have some Trostani’s. I think she is gonna be pretty strong once Temple of Plenty comes out. Dodges Mizzium Mortars, and demands a kill spell from mono-black or else it’s a lot of Wurm or Voice tokens and a lot of life. She is only bad against Esper, and with the slower format she can actually stop aggro dead, and out-card-advantage midrange. Bonus points on the synergy with Karametra, although the god kind of sucks.
