A special guest card from SOS accidentally got the foil stamp of the Star Wars TCG.

... do y'all know how supply chains work? Just polling the room. There are only *so many* factories in the WORLD that print playing cards for things like Pkmn, and mtg, uno, lorecana... Star Wars.

I caution an oz more of patience, and a tsp more critical thinking, before posting something silly

Not yet, but I would be surprised if they did since it's more a printer error than a WOTC one.

To put it another way, remember how defensive Disney is with their licensing along with how much cash they spend to get the Star Wars brand.

On the other side of the coin...I didn't think we ever get a Dwarf Fortress be a Secret Lair...so, anything can happen. But, for the Star Wars thing to occur, a lot of hoops have to be jumped through along with someone getting a ungodly amount of cash.

(There a pretty significant reason were getting Star Trek first before even considering Star Wars)

The printing error though is pretty humerous.

Star wars still "could" happen but a lot of ifs have to occur, as well as someone getting a significant amount of cheddar.

Not to mention that one time with the kid and the Spiderman theme grave...
...
Heck, the only reason we got the marvel deal is it's specifically the comics and even then we still have the digital hiccups which is causing the through the omenpath digital stuff.

P.S. This is going to be competing against Quantum Riddler and if you ask me which one is better...well...point to the Space Sphinx.

Emeritus of Ideation {3}{U}{U} Creature — Human Wizard Flying, ward {2} This creature enters prepared. Whenever this creature attacks, you may exile eight cards from your graveyard. If you do, this creature becomes prepared. 5/5 Ancestral Recall {U} Instant Target player draws three cards. Illustrated by Evyn Fong See play: Limited, Standard, Alchemy I think it’s best to look at this card being a pretty solid flyer that can cast ancestral recall (or fully delved treasure cruise) at times. We do have other creatures that do the draw 3 gimmick, but, not one that can be discounted by Momo so keep that in mind.

Echocasting Symposium {4}{U}{U} Sorcery — Lesson Target player creates a token that’s a copy of target creature you control. Paradigm (Then exile this spell. After you first resolve a spell with this name, you may cast a copy of it from exile without paying its mana cost at the beginning of each of your first main phases.) Illustrated by Fajareka Setiawan See play: Limited, Singleton, Standard? Alchemy? Besides mostly the troll methods people are planning with this clone spell (giving someone phage, ext), this is a pretty costly clone spell. Still, don’t sleep on the ability to get a token copy of a powerful etb creature each turn.

Loot, the Pathfinder {2}{G}{U}{R} Legendary Creature — Beast Noble Double strike, vigilance, haste Exhaust — {G}, {T}: Add three mana of any one color. (Activate each exhaust ability only once.) Exhaust — {U}, {T}: Draw three cards. Exhaust — {R}, {T}: Loot deals 3 damage to any target. 2/4 Illustrated by Ernanda Souza

Resonating Lute {2}{U}{R} Artifact Lands you control have “{T}: Add two mana of any one color. Spend this mana only to cast instant and sorcery spells.” {T}: Draw a card. Activate only if you have seven or more cards in your hand. School styluses are just tools. Passion is a Prismari’s true instrument. Watermark: Prismari Illustrated by Edgar Sánchez Hidalgo

Going to brew it today for standard showdown...but the plan brew is Loot with a ....

Louie does like sitting in chairs when he can. (Especially if food is close by)

One of the best steaks this weekend for sure

Well, I guess that's a good enough hint of a deck I will be testing out in standard next week.

Loute, the Key to Spellcasting {1}{u}{r}{g} Legendary artifact creature- mascot bard Lands you control have: “tap for two mana, use this mana only to cast spells from exile.” At the beginning of your upkeep, exile cards from your library equal to the types of permanents you control. You may cast them this turn. Tap: exile the top card of your library. [0/3]

Inspired by my very punny girlfriend

Pretty good.

So, after doing 3 prerelease events for #MTGStrixhaven. Survey saids...

Went 3-0 again. Making Emiritus loops was pretty gross.

Won the second round.
