Title: Dark Ascension
Post by: SpiritedAway on January 02, 2012, 06:46:01 PM
Hopefully everyone has seen this article:

In These Desperate Times: A Backstory Update for Dark Ascension
http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/feature/176

Is everyone else excited for Dark Ascension?

What are you expecting/hoping for in Dark Ascension?

Me, I want more sweet Spirits of course. Hoping for more multi colored U/W cards as well.

I would love a new White Plainswalker, possibly an Angel. I would also love the rumored Werewolf Plainswalker, as well. Of course having more cards reprinted that would allow their inclusion in Standard would make my block, too!

I read an (unsupported) rumour online (never kept the link, sorry) about another DFC Planeswalker; day side Black, night side White! Which was great for me as I love Orzhov/Esper! But it went on to say that it was supposedly a new {Sorrin Markov} which can't be true at all as there is already a Standard Sorrin.

I have also heard of the Werewalker and am very keen to see what it would do! I'm hopin for more Spirits also, some more Zombies and actually some more Scarecrows. But mostly I NEEEED more W/B cohesion and if any set since Ravnica could pull it off, I reckon it's this one.

Absolutely. Sounds great. I've been wanting to play some W/B spirit decks. Do you have any good standard builds? Ive only played with UW

No standard builds as of yet, none that's complete anyway (I've got an idea for one in my head), but you can find the above mentioned Commander deck here: http://imtgapp.com/forum/index.php?topic=1028.0

I just read the article and loved it. They 'final Planeswalker' spoken of in the last chapter ... obviously Sorrin! He comes from here, the Planeswalker has been gone for a long time from Innistrad (off in Zendikar stopping some Eldrazi) and 'He' has many secrets and know nothing of Sorrins past yet.

And Im putting it out there on the table now, we'll see Avacyn in the last set as a Mythic, maybe even a White Planeswalker (which is unfortunate if that happen coz White has heaps of them and not that I play much Red, but it's only got Chandra so far, oh and {Ajani Vengeant} ... oh and {Sarkhan the Mad} ... Nevermind)

Who, alongside {Venser, The Sojourner} is getting a Duel deck of "Venser vs Koth"

I'm excited because Venser is the perfect planes walker for me.

😨 AND Koth of the Hammer!!! Wow! I dont think I've ever even held a ball let alone dropped the ball!!! That's it I'm going back to my corner in Esper.

P.S. Ultra keen for Koth vs Vesner! I've pulled a Vesner and this will be a cheaty way to get one. Lol

I hope Sorin would be B/W, but most likely he'll be black. :|

Same man, hard! My gameplay would be complete to have a W/B Planeswalker accompany {Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas} in my fav deck! Just a W/B Planeswalker alone would be rockin!

Would you prefer a Multicoloured for it, a Hybrid or a DFC? Personally, I'd love a DFC, Dayside: B, Nightside: Hybrid W/B. I love the look of Hyrids.

I'm always down for a DFC. That means more art!

I saw another demon card that came with a buy a box promo, don't remember what it was though. And who else thinks the undead Liliana looking art may be avycryn the angel? Possibly plagued by dark magic? The final set is called avacryn restored.

I would love a Teferi planeswalker (maybe a flip one) cause in the books he is a planeswaler and he is also my favorite card. ;)

I just can't wait to see the rest of the block, {Stitcher's Apprentice} hints at a big reanimator!

Very true! I never realized that before! I keep getting more keen for this set! I even cannot wait for the novel of this set! I also like the look of the Demon thing that is picture at the end of the article at the beginning if this thread.
