Wanted: Somebody to go back in time with me.
This is not a joke. You'll get paid after we return. Must bring your own weapons - safety not guaranteed. I've only done this once before.
Take a look at some of the most powerful combos from Magic's newest set! Doug takes a look at the new staples, compelling combo cards and others that just barely missed the cut for playability. Consider sure-fire hits like Painter's Servant and oddball enablers like Ghastly Discovery. Is Demigod of Revenge playable without support cards to enable its brothers to come and play? Doug tackles these and more in this week's Unlocking Legacy.
I enjoyed it. No haughty quotes, some good talk, and apparent time travel (the two decklists were suggested a full week before the article hit the web).

It didn't mention Runed Halo. Otherwise, ok.

I went right home and I went to bed,
I stuck that lovin' .44 beneath my head.
Don't derail this time travel thread with your talk of Shadowmoor

Doug don't do quotes : D Now French idioms, I am guilty of.
I'd tell you my secret to time travel but I just got back from the land of the lost and wouldn't wish that on another soul.

Posting here, because the main Shadowmoor thread was locked:
Painter's Servant is now $10, Grindstone is selling for about $20-24 at top retailers and is sold out.
I think the Source saved a lot of people about $100 on a still questionable combo ($24 for a playset of both cards together on release day) before Wizards started talking it up on their own website.
$10? And I thought I'd gotten a good deal by selling the one I'd drafted for 5€..
YOU'RE GIVING ME A TIME MACHINE IN ORDER TO TREAT MY SLEEP DISORDER.
Fuck, I still need 2 more Grindstones. I ripped off this guy who collects dragons for two at 5$ each.
I also need 2 =(
Bought mine for 2.5€ pr Stone. I'll trade them to you mr Cook, I collect Tarmogoyfs..

"I'd kill for a Nobel Peace Prize!"
This article pushed it to the limit, even passing the point of no return.
For serious, though, I felt like it was basically reinforcing my belief that Shadowmoor did very little for competative legacy. Painter's combo is the best we have? A 6 mana combo vulnerable to creature kill and artifact removal with both pieces being basically dead cards on their own? Lacks mullet power.
Red Wizard needs food badly!
I invested $5 per Grindstone the minute the heard about about the combo. I see you can't find them under $35 now.
