Robot Viking

Although I’m still here in D.C. (flight home leaves tomorrow), Grand Prix D.C. has come and gone. Who won? More importantly, what did he win with? Morer importantly, what vastly underrated Rise of the Eldrazi draft card did I stumble across?

I’ve know for a weeks weeks now that the constructed formats for Magic’s 2010 Community Cup would be unified standard and unified commander, but no clue what the limited events would be. Now we know. What kind of crazy sealed or draft events will I be playing?

This past weekend was the Rise of the Eldrazi prerelease (does it feel like we’ve been hyping it forever to you too?). I had a nice perspective on the set, since in addition to mine and my brother’s experiences, we were joined by someone attending his first ever Magic tournament (who also happens to be [...]

As the Eldrazi rise, bad things are happening. Bad things, man! The arrival of an actual Eldrazi is like an ecological catastrophe, a natural disaster. And surrounding any disaster is a radius.

Now that the contest is over, here are the solutions to all five puzzles. If you still want to try and solve them yourself just for fun, don’t read this until you’re done!

Time for part four of the puzzle contest. You’re getting a break tonight.

The second puzzle was mechanically difficult, and perhaps a bit subtle. This one will truly test your knowledge of Magic cards and rules.

The time has come for the second part of the puzzle.

This is part one of five in Robot Viking’s Rise of the Eldrazi puzzle contest. Decipher all five clues (one each weekday all week) and you could win two Worldwake intro packs and a playset of four custom extended art Blightnings. This won’t be a cakewalk.

So, this is a new Magic card. It will be in Rise of the Eldrazi. But I’m just here to talk about how it might be the most unintentionally hilarious Magic card art I’ve ever seen. Or is it intentional?

With some persistence and a little talent at solving puzzles, you could win a pair of Worldwake Intro packs and a full playset of custom painted Blightnings. Just tune into Robot Viking each day next week. For more details on the prizes and how the contest will work, read on.

The Eldrazi will soon be risen. Rised? Risified? In the meantime, here are thirteen wallpapers perfectly suited for your widescreen monitor, all featuring art from the upcoming Rise of the Eldrazi set for Magic: the Gathering.

Rise of the Eldrazi, the latest expansion for Magic: the Gathering, comes out next month, and we’ve got a plentiful passel of positively pulchritudinous spoilers. There are three all new mechanics, plus a walking, annihilating example of the mysterious Eldrazi themselves.
