What is the City's Blessing? MTG Lore Theory

Wizards of the Coast We're well into the spoiler season for Rivals of Izalan and have seen some great cards, from pirates that steal tokens to enchantments that make shocklands OG dual lands, but we've also learned a lot about the lore. For example, we now know that Azor - the planeswalking sphinx who founded the Azorius and created the Guildpact - is alive and well on Ixalan, but seems to have lost his spark as he was given a creature card. We've also learned a bit about one of the new mechanics in Rivals: Ascend. Wizards of the Coast The way Ascend works is simple. If you have ten or more permanents, you get the city's blessing forever. This is similar to the Monarch mechanic from Conspiracy, but with a major difference: Any number of players in the game can have the city's blessing at once rather than only one player at a time. There is also (as of yet) no way to remove or steal the city's blessing. The mechanics of Magic cards are used to refle

Is The Energy Mechanic Broken in Standard?

It looks pretty innocent. The lightning struck trapped in a black pentagon. It's the symbol for energy, a new mechanic we were recently introduced to in the Kaladesh block. Energy has had a huge impact on the Standard format. After last weekend's Pro Tour Ixalan, half of the top 8 decks were energy variants: One the classic Temur build, two four-color energy, and one Sultai energy list. Energy decks come in many shapes and forms, but they are clearly one of the best things you can do in the format. But does this mean that the mechanic is broken? Let's take a closer look. The Mechanic The way the energy mechanic works is very simple: You can gain energy from the effects of creatures or spells, which you can then spend. The energy counters are something that a player gets and aren't a permanent in any way, shape, or form; mechanically, they're close to poison counters. Some cards like Rogue Refiner only create energy, while others such as Bristing Hydra can use

MMA Anime Review: Welcome to the Ballroom

Welcome to the Ballroom - Episode 24 I don't watch sports anime. They've never held any interest to me, as sports themselves don't. I wouldn't watch or play tennis, so I never felt the desire to watch to watch Baby Steps. It just isn't my taste, so I dismissed Welcome to the Ballroom when I first came across it. After all, it wasn't only a sports anime; it was about ballroom dancing, something I'd never thought of before. But a friend encouraged me to watch it and I was hooked. It ended up being my favorite anime of 2017. Welcome to the Ballroom ( Ballroom e Youkoso ) is about Tatara Fujita, a third-year middle school student drifting through life. Even on the cusp of graduation he doesn't know where he's going to high school, let alone what comes after. One day a group of bullies corner Tatara outside of a building and attempt to steal his wallet, but he's saved by the appearance of a strange man on a motorcycle saves him. This man - S
