Ardent - "fiery, hot, warmth of feeling from being zealous, shining, glowing" etcOriginally Posted by evanmartyr
It's like calling Frost Titan cool.

I always thought that ardent meant devoted, dedicated, etc.
From dictionary.com:
— adj
1. expressive of or characterized by intense desire or emotion; passionate: ardent love
2. intensely enthusiastic; eager: an ardent longing
3. glowing, flashing, or shining: ardent eyes
4. rare burning: an ardent fever
Seems fitting and not redundant :P
looks like mtgsally ruled they are fake at the moment
Hooray, Chandra is now playable. I love this 3cc Walker. Way better design than Beleren.
Edit: Fake cards are fake. Sad.
Are you into Jazz? Have a look at the Lp's I have for sale on Discogs!
I don't like them much. I'm kind of happy since it means I won't have to buy any of this set so far for Standard even.
I see a couple cool things in M12 but nothing Legacy grade yet. Chandra's Phoenix could potentially see play but I don't think it's Legacy grade in the end but recursion and evasion and haste for 3 probably makes it the best new card yet. New Jace is good for Standard. I mean they fixed Jace TMS so what more could you want. As far as Legacy 1000x no, he will never see play because his name is Jace and there is only room for one Jace in Legacy.
big links in sigs are obnoxious -PR
Don't disrespect my dojo dude...
Sweep the leg!
Ardent has become a colloquial/poetic term for passion, but the literal meaning is "on fire." It is like saying, "Okay, so this Frost Titan planeswalker person is really detached and callous, what's a term for that, oh Icy." And calling it the Icy Frost Titan.
For my confessions, they burned me with fire/
And found I was for endurance made
While the origin of the word mean literally "burned by fire" (from the latin verb ardère), figurative uses of it are common in italian since the XIII century, see for example the form "sabbia ardente (ardent sand)->very hot sand" or "carboni ardenti (ardent coal)->very hot coal, but not literally on fire" (visive sample: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6mBX...ailpage#t=128s ).
In this sense "fiamma ardente" in italian mean "hot/intense flame" and i suppose it's the case in english too.
Icy is also commonly used as a figurative expression, but if you described someone as "The Icy Frost" it would be retarded for reasons that are obvious.
Regardless, fake card is fake so la now I'm sad.

Hunter's Insight looks like it could fit nicely into Berserk Stompy. A fresh hand after a combo turn sounds pretty tight.
Luck is a residue of design.

Skinshifter
1G
Creature - Human Shaman (R)
G: Choose one — Until end of turn, Skinshifter becomes a 4/4 Rhino and gains trample; or until end of turn, Skinshifter becomes a 2/2 Bird and gains flying; or until end of turn, Skinshifter becomes a 0/8 Plant. Activate this ability only once each turn.
Dredge gets a new toy. It is strong.
Vengeful Pharaoh

Whenever combat damage is dealt to you or a planeswalker you control, if Vengeful Pharaoh is in your graveyard, destroy target creature attacking you, then put Vengeful Pharaoh on top of your library.
5/4
Reusable removal in Dredge. On color with Ichorid synergy.
Don't forget SCG's awesome new preview that they were hyping on SCGLive coverage: http://www.starcitygames.com/magic/s...mbleverse.html
“It's possible. But it involves... {checks archives} Nature's Revolt, Opalescence, two Unstable Shapeshifters (one of which started as a Doppelganger), a Tide, an animated land, a creature with Fading, a Silver Wyvern, some way to get a creature into play in response to stuff, some way to get a land into play in response to stuff (a different land from the animated land), and one heck of a Rube Goldberg timing diagram.”

Hmmm, Vengeful is the first card that got my interest. That's pretty damned good. I don't play Dredge but I can figure out that one easy enough. It IS strong.
For some reason, this reminded me of old school Yugioh.Dredge gets a new toy. It is strong.

I am convinced that WotC is "dumbing" the game because of all the stupid posts they come across on MTG-related forums
I'm sorry, but I don't see the value this has in Dredge. As long as your graveyard isn't nuked, you should already be on your way to winning, correct? If you let creatures through so they die from Pharaoh, they'll just wipe out your Bridges. As for troublesome creatures (e.g. Teeg, Blazing Archon), they can just not attack with them.

Dunno, that Vengeful Pharaoh seems kinda bad.
"Oh, you've got a 1/1, let me help you remove all my bridges!"
Well, it's going to take some restructuring, but it's basically a No Mercy that you can't get rid of easily with main deck items. I could see using it in several decks actually. You guys make a good point on dredge, but that's a seriously powerful effect.
Seems absolutely bonkers with Gideon.
Perhaps a Legacy port of the Crypt of Agadeem decks of Standard?
