...also in the duel deck it's mention that Elspeth and Tezz goes to Mirrodin to fight Phyrexia...Elspeth "to prevent Mirrodin from suffering the same fate as her home"...and tezz in a mission from Bolas to "prevent the burgeoning Phyrexian presence there from taking hold"
MORE EDITS!
...Elspeth travel to Dominaria and learned that Dom. survived an invasion...by the same force that had enslaved her community: Phyrexia."
Proliferate seems fun, and it confirms a counter subtheme (or even main theme) for Scars. Cool card, the other is just limited filler; i'm sure they could have picked something, ANYTHING better to show off Scars.
EDIT: Didn't read the flavor text of Skyguard. I suppose that is why it was included. Interesting storyline implications.
Permanents, actually, or players, to go with Poison. I'm more excited about the watermarks on the cards, I hope they actually use them for something. (IE: "Whenever you cast a phyrexian spell, yadda yadda yadda.)
Absolutely love Proliferate. So many implications outside of SoM!

Quote from Nirvava »
you can generally tell the easiest road to victory by how many players congregate on it; and the road of counterspells/control has been the freeway of choice in magic for quite some time.
Quote from photodyer »
What I find offensive is not that Wizards is endeavoring to make the game more accessible, but the attitudes of elitists who act as though no one of any age should show their face in the Magic public without first having mastery over the complexities of the game.
Loving the Phyrexian watermark. Very sweet (and completely unambiguous about who it represents, heh.)
My guess is that Proliferate will be a cross-factional keyword. It works just as well for Mirrodin (with its +1/+1 and charge counters) as for Phyrexia (with its -1/-1 and poison counters), plus it interacts with planeswalkers on both sides. Really clever design.
You can definitely tell this is a Rosewater-led set.

I hate when people change their avatar's. That's how I identify most people, not by names.

Actually, if you skip one turn, it would basically turn into infinite turns if you did it right.
