>Let's talk about Bolas's allegedly MASTER PLAN, what's his endgame?
Let's talk about the fact that Bolas should be the most powerful Planeswalker to exist right now, being an Elder Dragon. He was Planeswalker stronk before awakening his spark, after all.

He's just chillin like a villain in Amonkhet, getting pampered, treated like a god n shiet

Bolas seems to be cultivating super strong fighters on Amonkhet, the 'chosen' iirc, though whether he uses them as underlings or just drains them all for whatever 0.00X percent of power they add to his ridiculous level is anyone's guess.

I like Yahenni, or however it's spelt, I think they're compelling to read, and I hope both them and the other characters present don't take a backseat to the Gatewatch in Aether Revolt.

He is the most powerful. With Alara's con flux done and the obvious regeneration to his faculties and abilities, I would guess he is very near Oldwalker anyway when factoring in his mana bonds.

Hijacking thread because WOTC can't write.

Story behind the name Ponza?

What are people's opinions on how the story is shaping up so far? I think it's being handled much better than it was in insisted. Things aren't developing as haphazardly.

It's ok for teens. It's shit for fat middle age fuckers like us.

Got four packs of Eldritch Moon as part of a holiday gift. Worth opening or no?

>Ponza's first true appearance as an actual deck was during the Rath Cycle Pro Tour qualifiers for Pro Tour Rome. The deck was designed by Brian Kowal, and was based on Wakefield's Phoenix-haups design. Adrian Sullivan, one of Kowal's teammates, once said "A ponza Rotta is like a calzone, but deep fried instead of baked." Kowal named it Ponza because it had all the key ingredients to a Ponza Rotta: the chesse (burn), the meat (big creatures) and the sauce (the land destruction).

I know that Wizards started putting out those "planeshift" pdfs this year so that you can run D&D using M:tG's planes, but I'm honestly kind of surprised they haven't been more enthusiastic about @crossing the streams" since it seems like a no-brained moneymaker
