Every time I think about your card, I picture this kid:

EDH Rules update

- Emrakul is BANNED

- Generals (err... "commanders") may now take into account ALL mana symbols on the card. So you can now build EDH decks with, say, Thelon of Havenwood (allows a black/green deck) or Memnarch (allows a mono-blue deck) as the general.

I want to get my hands on some more Abyssal Persecutors.  My Red/Black FYI I AM A DICK deck can do well with them.  Fling fling fling. <3

Crap. This means my friend Jim is going to build a Bosh-fling deck.

Well, I guess it makes sense.  There's a lot of Black removal these days that can kill him, such as Gatekeeper of Malakir, Viscera Seer, Bloodthrone Vampire...and Red has Fling.  <3

BTW, I don't know where you're checking prices. I just looked up ebay averages for Persecutor and they're close to $15, with $13 each not difficult to get.

EDIT: DERP.  Dohl needs to read more better.


Still, 15 is a little more than I'm willing to pay at the moment.

Funny. That was exactly the amount I was willing to pay for Baneslayer Angel.

Poor Baneslayer. It's now worth only about $13.

By the by, WotC has just dumped a huge amount of art for the next set.

First picture is almost certainly the Fat Pack, last one is the art for a new Tezzeret (almost certainly a new U/B version, that art is the only one that was previously known.)

I think I see Karn. And Glissa. And that "last troll" who's quoted on Asceticism. And... yet even more mirrored artwork.

I really like that Terese Nielsen piece.

Everybody likes that Terese Nielsen piece.

Which of course means it'll be a on a shitty, useless card.

M-maybe it'll be the blue Eternal Witness! O-or some variation of Tinker, or uh... uh... It's gonna suck isn't it.  :;_;:

It kind of reminds me of the old Regneration art. I could swear we've seen that schematic design before, but I don't recall what card that was.

I think similar designs have been on a couple of cards, actually.

Man, looking at that old Regeneration ... remember when the art for Magic could be all stylized and sparse and whatnot?  And wasn't all this hyperrealistic super-busy space fantasy nonsense?

Do you understand how terrifying the words “vibrating strap on” are for an asexual? That’s like saying “the holocaust” to a Jew.

Funny. I was just bemoaning that to Mongrel the other day in regards to the Serendib Efreet from FTV: Exiled. He looks lame and forgettable in comparison to Doubleface Stingerhanded Serendib Efreet, or even Misprinted Wine Connoisseur Serendib Efreet.

I think it's been a tradeoff. They completely abandoned stylied art, but the quality of the draughtsmanship is WAY higher than it used to be.

In any case, I'm more than happy that the art is vastly better than it was from say Onslaught to Future Sight, when it was just as bland and uninspired, but also of very poor quality (I'm generalizing, obviously... there were a few worthwhile pieces in every set).

One thing's for sure. I think they've finally given up their last hope of ever attracting women or other age groups, because the average T&A quotient has really ramped up in the past year or two.
