    Dragons of Tarkir Spoilers

    The Uncharted Realms column in Magic's articles has detailed the in-universe reasoning behind the change from three-coloured khans to ally-coloured dragonlords. A dragonlord has taken over each clan - the same ally-coloured dragons found in Fate Reforged - and imposed their dominion over it...

    The Best and Worst of Fate Reforged

    Honestly, I don't think Great-Horn Krushok and Siege Rhino can be compared favourably. One is a vanilla common, which is a staple in pretty much every set. The other is a rare - and thus likely a one-off - that was probably featured in a handful of top-tier builds in Wizards' articles (Perilous...

    Battlegrounds : A Pokémon Role-Play { Closed } - Day Two: On the Road to Jade Forest

    "I hear you there, miss," Florian quipped, lightly resting one hand on the Lilligant's shoulder as he looked out on the scene. "Say, it looks like there's a fair few of your fellow Trainers about. Either my Tropius did their work well, or the, ah... unpleasant, shall we say, scent on the wind is...

    Having devoured the food given to him - and promptly thanked those who had provided it - Gabriel jumped to his feet as Seth spoke. The Pyromancer had a point: they had a job to do - even if they had absolutely no idea how to get it done, as far as he knew - and they needed to get moving sooner...

    "So, what are you mages going to be doing? We know that there won't be a battle for you." "Are you going to be wandering the lands? Quite dangerous, even for a group of us." "I think they'll be going to the Iron Mistress. Maybe to deal with her?" "Nevermind that, I hear that one of us is...

    "I get the feeling we're just moving the problem elsewhere, not actually solving it..." "We need to drive the group as a whole further north, instead of just 'away'," Florian noted. "Perhaps I should find faster ways to recruit others to this cause. I know just the Pokémon for the job."...

    Gabriel looked over at the once-scruffy stranger, eyebrows raised. Drew was acting in defense of the mages, while this other guy - if he'd heard the name before, it escaped the Hydromancer's memory - was talking about stealing from the room into which Alexander had apparently broken. "I...

    Familiar voices came from a short distance down the hall. Gabriel looked over to find Drew talking with Edgar; the latter soon beckoned him over. "Might as well have you all here for this, I imagine you all didn't get a report on what happened last night!" "This must be about what you...

    The Goldmar Incident: A Superhero Role-Play { Accepting Applicants via PM }

    Lisette raised her eyebrows behind her glasses, both at the wink and the flask. There had been plenty of guys at The Festival who shared a similar attitude... come to think of it, there was a decent chance Joe had been one of them at some point. "Sorry, Joe, I don't bring my work home with me...

    Lisette watched Dominic go, slamming the door on his way out. "He didn't answer... maybe he got the short straw in terms of powers." Or maybe he hasn't practiced at all... in which case, he needs to get on that ASAP. She approached the couch where Chris and Amanda were seated. "Maybe one of you...

    Eventually Isa stirred and propped herself up on an elbow. "We should get up and moving. Doubtless I will be expected back on the battlefield at some point soon. As for you and your fellows..." She left the sentence hanging as she deftly disentangled herself from Gabriel, slipping out from under...

    "Matti..." "Togeh?" "Matti, let go of Jen or you don't get snacks." Alix's lightly worded threat earned a whine from the Togepi, but he did as he was told, allowing Jen to scuttle away to her Trainer's other side. She started picking at her feathers, settling them back into place...

    Gabriel spent the majority of the afternoon and evening working on the steam techniques from his textbook. As he experimented with the more advanced coursework, he felt that the simpler spells became easier. After a couple of hours' work, he pulled off a trick in the book described as "a...

    "Dominic, let me ask you something," Lisette began, tipping her glass into mid-air and freezing it as it fell. Her tone was calm and composed. "What makes you think I'm entirely indifferent to the whole situation? I've taken steps to secure my apartment. There are emergency packages stowed...

    The Best and Worst of Khans of Tarkir

    Emblems aren't permanents, so they can't be affected by anything. Although, that's purely because there hasn't been a card printed that does anything to emblems, other than the Planeswalkers that produce them. Speaking of Planeswalkers: At my Khans prerelease this morning I opened Sarkhan...
