- Jon Finkel Facts: (follow the link at left to see more Facts, or add more Facts!)
- Chuck Norris counted to infinity twice—because he was trying to count how much damage Jon Finkel deals in an average game.
- Jon Finkel believes in maintaining a healthy, balanced diet. He gets all his fiber from eating Magic cards for breakfast, and all his protein from eating Magic players for lunch.
Flavor-wise, that'd make no sense, there being GODS. Maybe a functional reprint?

they sure do like that set symbol. how many more times can they tweak it?
I am guessing a lot... lol. I Think the symbol represents fire. Going out on a limb here, buuut there may be a phoenix (wait, are there phoenix's in Roman-Greco mythology?)
Wizard's has already announced that cards like Wrath of God and Damnation will not be reprinted maybe with a different name but not those exact names.
Got a link to back up this claim?
WotC almost never explicitly rules out cards for future sets, so, well, as the old expression goes, "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence," or as the new expression goes, "Link, or it didn't happen."
There is going to be a return of the titans either in this or the first set. I don't know weather to say laugh or cry. I loved my titans but at the same time they ruled the format for years...

Flavor-wise that makes no sense because the titans are completely different in Greco-roman mythology. There are 12 titans, all unique...unless they do some stupid thing reminiscent of the titans in Disney Hercules.

The Greek Gods Zeus, Posiden, Hades and Hera are all born of Cronus who was a titan. From those 4 gods spawn all the other gods. So to have Titans would make perfect sense. And you have to remember that they are not taking word for word all of the greek myths and putting them into cards. They are taking inspiration from mythology to create their own world.
Wizards of the Coast won't reprint Wrath of God or Damnation, but it has less to do with the name and more to do with the "They can't be regenerated" clause. They want regeneration to matter, and it can't matter if commonly-used kill spells come with a "can't be regenerated" clause.
