Didn't see that coming

Seismic Assault
Seismic Assault

I've always been partial to Seismic Assault (along with its ancestor) and am hoping it has a brief surge of relevance in the newly-announced Extended format. Oh, that was quite an announcement, huh? We, the Magic community, gliding along, la-di-da, Archenemy, yay, M11 spoilers, feelin' groovy, tra-la-la BAM! LAVA FIST! And then 24 hours of speculators chain-chugging foul energy drinks while trying to lock up every underpriced Mistbind Clique they could lay hand or mouse on.

Having never really had bandwidth for Extended, I like the change. Previously, if an Extended GP happened in my backyard I would not play in the main event. With the more digestible card pool, I might.

See Greg Staples' original card art here.

  2. Say, is that a Swan of Bryn Argoll?

    Because if it isn't, it totally should be.

    Love the site, by the way.

  3. Thanks! Even though Swans is the preferred avian lava fist target I didn't want to have two cards in this one. But maybe that would have been better. I may yet get to the Swans cuz I love those guys!
