Not a fan of Arcanis. He gets nuked too easily. I prefer something like Mulldrifter where you can get a good creature along with 2 extra cards.

I knew somehow that Zendikar and Lorwyn are the caps on standard, but I didn't remember how. But I knew 10th didn't and doesn't have that much longer. 
Hopefully m10 will have some kickass stuff to replace the stuff from tenth that I will miss (Arcanis,  )
Yep only a couple more months of 10th.
Then it's Magic 2010. I don't understand why they call it Magic 2010, when it's still just 2009.

I frequently imagine cards in my mind which do something never before done by wizards. Often, wizards prints my mechanic one year after I invent it.
Example: Split Second. My wording was "this spell doesn't use the stack (it resolves as you play it)". Wizard's wording is less intuitive, but more functional.
Example: Borderposts. I was using land cards with the ability "2: Put CARDNAME from your hand into play. Play this ability only any time you could play a sorcery. (you may do this in addition to playing lands.)". Wizard's version is, again, less intuitive but more functional.
Feel free not to believe me, of course.
Anyways, here are some ideas of mine that Wizard's hasn't made yet.
A Cycle of enchantments that replace some common action with a charge counter. Sacrifice to get better than 2 times the stored up actions.
U replace draw with look at top 3, take 2, 1 on bottom
R replace spell damage with 2x divided as you choose
G replace mana with 2x mana any color
WR replace combat with repeated attack steps, blocking restricted
UB replace mill with 2x removed
Loop the Timeline U
Instant
Move target spell or ability to a different position on the stack.
(draw or scry 2 or something)
^^they'll never make this because it would confuse the heck out of newbs and by itself does nothing.
Peacekeeper's Intervention 4WU
Sorcery
Each player loses the game.
^^ No fun at all!!! Except when combined with Lich's mirror.
Permanents with no controller.
Mercenary dude. 1B
Creature - Human Ninja
Mercenary dude comes into play uncontrolled.
whenever a creature attacks, its controller may pay 1. If he or she does, Mercenary dude becomes an attacking creature attacking the defending player.
vigilance, fear 3/2
^^ too weird for the rules guys, easier to switch controller a lot.
Apathetic Sphinx 2U
Creature - Sphinx
Apathetic Treefolk comes into play uncontrolled
flying, indestructible
6/6
^^ needs moar /Persuasion/ to attack

It has to do with how the Core Sets are working now; they come out every two years now, so it'll be good through 2010. Magic: 2010.

No **** lol. I still think it should be called Magic 2009, since it comes out in Summer 2009.

Duress reprinted in M10...
It could punish combo and/or control decks.. There are two (other been Thoughtseize) one mana discard spells (or three, if Raven's Crime sees the play).
Is it possible that on the next Standard there will be still those three B discard spells? Or am I wrong and Seize rotates out?

This is gonna be change the metagame quite a bit over the summer.
Thoughtseize, Duress, Tidehollow Sculler. Looks like we'll be seeing loads of discard variants out there.
Hell this might even make room for some Black-based combo decks.

The reason that there are no combo decks in t2 is not due to a lack of protection but to a lack of decent combo pieces. Duress provides as much protection for combo decks as it provides disruption for their opponents.

Yeah, I think you are right.
Maybe this is the reason that I'm not a big fan of Shards of Alara. Every card is Timmy or Spike. And all the Johnny cards are boring or have no potential.

So what do you think of the pathetically short M10 teaser on wizards today? I thought it could've been shown off in the Arcana, instead of wasting an article slot. But I like the set all the same.

I thought it was a joke.
We saw one new artwork from a pre-existing card, and one artwork from a new card. Big deal. I don't care about the artwork. I want to see the mechanics.
Fact of the matter is that Magic 2010 is gonna be a huge joke. I'm not gonna want to play it.
I'm happy they are reprinting Duress and Planeswalkers. Hopefully the new dual lands will be decent. I'll laugh if they suck and completely screw over the Standard Tournament Scene.

So what do you all think about the latest announcement?
Sounds like we're in for a cross between Vanguard cards and world enchantments.

Time Vault, Voltaic Key is pretty reliable in Vintage at the moment.

It'll flop totally, just like Vanguard did. Wizards really oughtn't bother wasting money trying to create variants of Magic. The most popular formats are always the ones that the gamers invented for themselves: Elder Dragon Highlander, Two Headed Giant, Emperor, Attack Left, Free Magic, &c.

Vanguard is a format in which you have alarge vanguard card that affects your starting position and abilities. like having abilities like other planeswalkers.
They have abilities like other cards and are activated before the game starts. they affect how many cards you have in your starting hand and how much life you have.
