This is the card I would wish they would make when I was already using Darkblast and Last Gasp.
He never sleeps. He never dies.
Battle doesn't need a purpose; the battle is its own purpose. You don't ask why a plague spreads or a field burns. Don't ask why I fight.
Welcome back Lyco! Playing Arena?
I think you will like the snow version of Mutilate too.

Well, it can't be worse than the WAR novelisation... surely.

I expect it to be the source of many memes, and thus good.

The newest survey asks how familiar you are with F/SN (among other anime), which means we're either getting a Gil that tutors and sacs equipments, ou Saber Gideon summoned to do battle with Avenger Yawgmoth.
It also has a bunch of questions about what we expect from a return to Kamigawa, Innistrad and Dominaria, anime/cyberpunk elements in magic...
It's pretty lol. Looking forward to some weeb sets!

If we go back to Kamigawa, I'll reinstall Arena. Weeb set allure too strong.
Innistrad too, if only because I really liked its mechanics.
Innistrad seems awesome, but I missed the original and the shadows block underwhelmed me. I would hope if we return that they make the tribes better supported.
I'd also really like them to give Kamigawa another go, as the flavour is super neat.
In case anyone wants to check it out, there's currently a free event in Arena with decks with moxes and black lotus and whatnot
Also Arena has now a friends list
Also there's a magic online rpg on the works, you can sign up to be a beta tester now

I shouldn't be tempted, but damn it, I'm tempted.

Theros coming to Arena today, got 13k saved gems from Bo1 Draft which I'll probably blow on Sealed (less potential payoff than Traditional Draft, but lower variance, and it fills the collection real quick.)

Haven't played competitive paper Magic in a long while, just don't have the time. I think I'm going to sell most of my Modern collection now - already sold my Reserve List stuff.

Old Theros or a new set in Theros?

New set, Theros Beyond Death. Continues the storyline from last set.
I'm pretty much exclusively playing Arena as well, although I'm getting back into paper Commander and I attended the Theros pre-release.
My first opponent opened two Thassa Bests the Sea God - the bombiest of all limited bombs - and I got crushed by it. And I thought I was lucky to open two mythics sharing a colour (Klothys and Ox of Agonas) First game he even played both of them in sequence. Went 1-2 though, and won a friendly after (thank you Mystic Repeal) so it wasn't too bad.
My other games went much better (2-1 and 2-0) because my green pile was pretty good. I even managed to make Nessian Boar work with auras and trample, when I was originally just playing it for the Atalanta reference.
