Zendikar Spoiler Updates

Hey guys, a lot of card updates for the upcoming Zendikar set has been revealed today. First off is the complete Sorin Markov planeswalker card. The final piece of the puzzle which is the second ability was revealed at the official Magic site today. It states, “-3 (Pay three loyalty): Target Opponent’s life total becomes 10.” Its a pretty awesome ability that negates whatever the life the opponent has whether its 40, 400 or even 4,000,000 (which is possible for combo decks). Here is the complete Sorin Markov planeswalker card that we will about to see in booster packs this October: Continue reading

French Site Previews A Zendikar Angel

Hey y’all. The Zendikar preview for today came from a French site named Magic Ville in which they showed a white card with an angel art, a flavor text and a name that translates as Iona, Shield of Emeria. Check out the French preview card below.

The card art is also from the two Zendikar playmat products. A closer look at the card image shows that the angel is somewhat casting a spell that wrecks the ruins around her.

This gave me a hint that the card could have an Landfall ability effect. Also, the 3 pairs of Angel wings reminds me of that guardian angel from the game Diablo. Lol. Anyway, my guess of the ability would be like destroying another target land when a land comes into the battlefield under your control or the much powerful Armageddon-like comes into the battlefield effect when you play this angel. The flavor text translates to “The righteous will no longer tremble before evil.” Pretty cool one.

I know everyone of you hate this slow spoiling of the cards but let’s just be patient and see what surprise Wizards has it for us.

The Wrath Of God Is Back In The Day Of Judgment

Yes you’ve read it right folks. It was revealed today at our favorite Rumor Mill that there’s a comeback or should we say a functional reprint for Wrath of God in the form of the sorcery spell Day of Judgment. This will be provided as a promo card for Magic Full Box Promotion (just like the previous Honor of the Pure in M10) for participating store outlets. Check out the card, also with a very cool art by Kev Walker, below. Continue reading

I recently visited a site that linked me to AcidCow’s bikini pics of the lovely contestants of Miss Universe 2009. For your info, the Miss Universe 2009 contest will be held on Bahamas this coming August 23. I hope this time our Ms. Philippines contestant Bianca Manalo would garner a top spot in the contest.

Earthquake Slows RP Internet Connection

The recent slowdown in internet connection here in the country may have been caused by the quake that hit Japan yesterday. As quoted from this report, “While the exact cause is still to be confirmed, it is likely that the Japan earthquake which occurred yesterday, August 11, 2009 is the reason for the international cable faults.” The rest of the article here.

The Roxas City Trip

Hey peeps. This is actually a late post but hey, its better late than never. I just got too busy at work. Anyway, the trip was last Tuesday. After my off from work, I went to Jaro Plaza to meet with my brother who had invited me earlier to go to Roxas City to meet with his childhood classmate. I arrived there earlier and had to wait for about an hour (and also was fighting my sleepiness). He arrived around 7:30 in the morning, rested for a bit and we’re headed off to Roxas city.
