Theros

[Destore117]

Just want to see some people's opinions on the new expansion (well new to me I only just learned it was released) personally I think it's quite interesting and will promote slightly slower paced gameplay which I prefer over aggro decks that win on like turn 5 at the latest.
{Erebos, God of the Dead} is probably my favorite card I've seen.

{Whip of Erebos} + {Obzedat, Ghost Council} 😍

Its a nice set overall. It promotes odd strategies and cards that don't get played a lot. It encourages playing mono-color (devotion), using lots of combat tricks (Heroic) and huge creatures (Monstrosity). It also has a lot of counterspells that will slow things down but I was a little disappointed in the removal.

Well I'm a good casual player with friends. I'm all about the fun in the game and I love new cards M14 was...well I gotta be honest I'm not excited for much except  {Fiendslayer Paladin}
But I love the concept of Theros.
It reminds me of Kamigawa which I haven't ever seen actual play but I love the concept of good and bad spirits. Samurai and ninjas and yeah. I love magic haha and that's a nasty combo up there :| nope nope nope!

I played back in Kamigawa and loved it. Too bad it did badly, now the chances are slim we ever return to that amazing plane.

[Destore117]

But hey they can come out with similar ones that play well solely with the cards in that plane. (Like Theros) although some cards do confuse me a bit with this one

[Agrus Kos, Enforcer of Truth]

From what MaRo has said on Blogatog it seems there is a chance of returning to Kamigawa but only if it were destroyed by a MTG Villain.

Oh well that doesn't sound so good sounds to me like a bunch of Oni spirits escaping to other planes :|

I like it! I just thought Thassa would be worth the most, not {Stormcrow Dragon} and Phurosus (whatever)

What's the story behind theros?

Storm breath... Lol

Slower gameplay?  How about turn 1 something that costs a blue, turn two, something, turn three {thassa} turn 4 {night veil specter} turn 5 8 unblockable damage and some for of evasion, turn 6 win.

Thassa is soo agro.

I think the person who played {night-veil specter} at a Theros prerelease was cheating...

[Thetrufflehunter]

Yeah, I pulled no mythics either. I didn't play anyone who played a mythic either though. It was mostly fatties smacking eachothers faces until someone top decked enough combat tricks.
