FTV: Relics Revealed!

So, don’t ask me how Evan Erwin, from Star City Games, has managed to get the list, but he’s spoiled all the cards that will come inside the FTV: Relics pack. The complete list is:

All in all, it seems a pretty bad box, except for the Mox Diamond. The rest of the cards they either existed already in foil or they actually unplayable. Sure having Ivory Tower in foil is great… but it will never see play in today’s formats.

The spoiled card from Scars of Mirrodin will be the Oil of Psarl. They haven’t any information regarding its text, so we’ll have to wait a bit longer.

Nobody Expects the Spanish Inquisition!

David de la Iglesia, lvl 2 DCI judge from Madrid (Spain), has written his first article for Star City Games. It’s free and also a very, very informative read. He talks about the upcoming Legacy Grand Prix in Madrid, complicated card interactions, reports his judging experiences on latest GPT’s, etc…

If you are going to play at 2010′s Eternal event of the year, or if you just got a little interest on what’s going on in Legacy, you shouldn’t miss the chance of reading from this excellent judge.

[Article]: The Justice League – Nobody Expects the Spanish Inquisition! By David de la Iglesia

In my first article for StarCityGames.com, I’d like to write about what promises to be the event of the year in Spain: the European Legacy Grand Prix.

Hope to read more articles from him! Thumbs up for David!
