Flavor Text Highlights - Adventures in the Forgotten Realms

<- Previous Set | Next Set ->

Cool - Plummet

The dragon’s noxious breath withered the forest. The whistle of a hundred arrows filled the air. The ground roiled as if shaken by an earthquake. The tyrant fell from the sky.

Cool - The Tarrasque

When it rises, nations fall.

Funny - Split the Party

Don’t.

Emotional - Grim Wanderer

There is a stillness that walks with him, the quiet that follows great tragedy, when even the mourners are too exhausted to weep.

It's a shame that the MTG version was like a weird combo beater and not, like, a variant on Reclamation Sage.

The Very Hungry Rust Monster is a mini-comic I made a few years back. I’ve seen it floating around Tumblr without attribution recently, so I’ve uploaded a higher-resolution version, properly credited.

Spoiler: The party fights the Tarrasque. (Nick Jainschigg cover art for AD&D 2e adventure How the Mighty are Fallen by Dale "Slade" Henson, TSR, 1996) This supplement to the Netheril: Empire of Magic boxed campaign set bears the label "Arcane Age" indicating an adventure set in the distant past of the Forgotten Realms -- in this case 5000 years before the usual setting in Faerun.

commander just needs something like a sideboard (yes technically these allow you to play any card from your collection but a lot of people don't like that). while i don't like having my big cool things exiled (looking at you farewell), having a permanent method of removal is very important, and while the prevalence of exile removal is very annoying (looking at you again farewell) i don't think having ways to get stuff back from exile super easily is something that should be retroactively added without majorly thinking it through. if exile recursion were ever a thing i think it should be harder to achieve (not just a card that lets you get it back by playing it).

I have a request for a change to the Commander rule.

Currently, Wish spells can't do anything in Commander, so

I would like to be able to touch cards in exile like before.

How to others feel about this topic?
