And what the hell is it supposed to shapeshift into?
Bloodhall Ooze seems to be the big climber on Star City, increasing its price by 75% up to $5 over night. Not sure what's attracting people to it, although I'm sure it always sells as a four-pack because of it's mana cost, so that might be drumming up the numbers.
Martial Coup is destroying a Thornling. Just thought I'd point that out.
No, it ain't. The main difference is the direction the horns point to. Then, you have the different jaws, members, blah, blah, whatever.
Keep moon-walking.
The "t" is silent.
I've been drinking.
I guess you can say you turned that morphling into a... TORCHLINGI played back then. Here's what I thought of Morphlings.
This was my birthday present from a friend. He knew I hated the card beyond all belief so he got me a Morphling and a pack of matches. Yeah, it's real.
Clicky!
Thornling is OK in my book.
buh duh bump
Wow, just... wow.
Yeah, I for one totally disagree. I think the art of Progenitus is the best I've ever seen in Magic. It shows the scale of things real well: while Progenitus is wreaking havoc in the distance, you're glad he's not heading your way. Really beautifully done.
Let me elaborate why Progenitus' art is the best ever in MTG history:
Traditionally, the MTG artists used to make things appear large by placing the big monster next to miniature versions of something we know isn't small. Like they did with Polar Kraken:
How can we believe Polar Kraken is so big if we're looking down on it?
Or even worse:
With Segovian Leviathan Melissa Benson just painted a clear picture of a big fish. But since we're under water, to see thát much, of a fish thát big, there should be alot of blurry murky water involved and there would be no way we could see the leviathan this clear.
In both cases this simply results in the 'big monster' looking normal-sized and the things we know as big appear as really small (those things swimming next to the leviathan are whales. Yes, whales, look closer).
With Progenitus they did a complete different thing to convey sheer size:
Here they placed him far away, so far that because of the atmosphere, you'd normally only see the outline of mountains. In this picture, Progenitus is really massive.
The other thing that makes this attractive is that it's from a normal person's view. This way you 'witness' the existence of such a large monster. Kind of scary really. Very intense. I love it.
If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, it's probably delicious.
Team ADHD-To resist is to piss in the wind. Anyone who does will end up smelling.
Except those whales are the size of a goldfish, since Sergovia is a micro sized world, where even the leviathon is the size of a small troll. :p But right, you're spot on.In both cases this simply results in the 'big monster' looking normal-sized and the things we know as big appear as really small (those things swimming next to the leviathan are whales. Yes, whales, look closer).
I like Progenitus and think it's creative and a step up while existing within the confines of what "is allowed." I don't hold that much respect for "mere illustration" which is what the style guidelines dictate these days ("each spell with conspire shows two creatures, get it!"). I went to art history school so I'm one of those freaks who actually likes the art for Stasis.
OTOH, I'm not a sucker for everything that's just done in a different way technically, like Hostility, as that's (and Rebecca Guay's stuff for that matter) is just stylistically different, not conceptually.
placing old art cards next to new border/art cards makes me sad. I'd much rather have the old borders and cheap fantasy art back. most of the new pictures are so detailed, I cant easily tell whats going on the in the picture of cards someone else is playing. I like to be able to easily tell what card is what, by the picture.
ok why is phyrexian dreadnought a 12/12 and this progenitus that is way larger is only 10/10.

Because outside of Stifle/Trickbind tricks, the Dreadnaught's CiPT makes it effectively unplayable. Not saying Progenitus is playable, but a Limited/Standard-minded 10/10 with nothing but good stuff to offer should cost a lot.
when i said larger, i meant in the picture... not casting cost.
btw, why is this thornling diff looking?

Ah. Meh, I think Progenitnus is pretty large looking (double the size of mountains). I don't think the artist even knows what the final card is gonig to be; just given a rough template and soft ideas from WotC.
Because that's an obvious shoop.
Because it's a fucking Dreadnought.
From Phyrexia.
Phyrexian Dreadnought has hidden cruise missiles armed with nuclear warheads. If you took out its nuclear arsenal, it would be a 5/5 at best.
Who says progenitus is larger? We do indeed hsve scale in that image, but in the dreadnought image you can't tell how big it is. It could easily be larger.
It's a Mobile Armor. Obviously.

If it's all in our heads, it's best that we don't loose them.
Actually, you can see a mage in the right corner. The only quest which remains is: How long is it?
