We need someone posting the MTG news on Lemmy!

Quick summary:

  • Bad to the Bone, featuring biker skeletons on discard-themed cards. Money card is [[Tinybones, Trinket Thief]].
  • Death is Temporary, Metal is Forever, featuring metal-looking cards themed around [[Nekusar, the Mindrazer]]. Money card is [[Waste Not]].
  • Goblin and Squabbin', featuring, um, Goblins. Money cards are [[Goblin Lackey]] and [[Goblin Recruiter]].
  • The Stars Gaze back, featuring some funky-looking Elementals, including [[Omnath, Locus of Rage]]. They couldn't give us 4C Omnath? Well alright.
  • Artist Series: Ryan Alexander Lee, featuring big cool creatures. Money cards are [[Twilight Prophet]] and [[Worldspine Wurm]].
  • More Adventures in Middle-Earth, featuring some LTR cards with art from the old animated movies. Nothing of value in terms of card prices, but maybe you'll like the art.
  • Featuring: The Mountain Goats, featuring basic Mountains with Lorwyn art/flavor text (no actual [[Mountain Goat]]).

I had forgotten that Mountain Goat was a card until you mentioned it, but now I'm disappointed that they didn't include it.

I feel like the Metal is Forever secret lair would have been a lot cooler if we didnt have a surge of recent similar black-white arts recently (mainly All Will Be One).

I like the art for The Stars Gaze Back, but have absolutely no use for those cards for anything. Everything else was pretty lackluster to me.

I, for one, appreciate Wizards' efforts to make sure I keep my money in my wallet...

The only one whose art even slightly interests me is the Ralph Bakshi one, and the cards there are so pathetically worthless, both for cash value and usability in any of my decks that is a really easy pass. Last one was the same. Feels like they went hard early in the SL runs with good, interesting lairs to get people on board, and they're already scraping the bottom of the barrel.

Yea, I really really like the mountains but I have nothing i can think of to do with them. They would sit in a binder somewhere, but even then there are 10 of them and I can't fit them on one sheet.
