Good Morning my pickles.
Not too much on the Magic 2011 spoiler fronts just yet but we did find some card artwork for two new commons we already know about . . . have a looky - (just click to enlarge)
Mighty Leap, 1
Instant, Common
Target creature gets +2/+2 and gains flying until end of turn.
flavour text "The southern fortress taken by invaders? Heh, sure . . . when elephants fly." - Brezard Skeinbow, captain of the guard.
#22/249
rk post
Cloud Crusader, 2Creature - Human Knight Common
Flying, first strike
2/3
flavour text : Each crusader bonds with a griffin fledgling while still a child, and the two grow up as siblings.

The art is great and the flavour text on Might Leap gave us a mighty laugh. These images come via the decks available at the on-line gaming platform, Steam.
Righto - speaking of which,
Anywhoos - the arts are from your on-line game HQ, Steam which now has available the Duels of the Paneswalkers on tap. Sounds like gamer heaven, especially if you have a predilection for the best game on earth, Magic the Gathering. Having said this, we did have a peruse through the MTG forums on Steam and perhaps not everything is fluffy bunnies and sunshine after all. Here is a 'first impressions' review post from user Lurpsukka.- Game uses loads of CPU and GPU, makes my computer fans to run at full speed (LOUD!) causing it to crash eventually
- High score list causes the game to crash
- No chat in multiplayer games
- No online co-op (big letdown!)
- No manual mana tapping
- Not possible to disable the microphone
- Casting instants requires you to press the stop timer button at the right second, good luck with the small cards - Have to zoom in on every card I don't know by their small picture (1680x1050 here)
- No deck customization
- First mulligan doesn't reduce the hand size to 6
- Again the game seems to be very graphic heavy which is funny considering it's a card game
It seems like they did straight port from the Xbox 360, this game has so much potential but instead they ruined it. Waiting for a big fix/patch.
Wow - hopefully, the code monkeys get on this soon.
Well - back to work you lot and make sure you keep sending us news and rumours to post.

What I think is crazy is how long Steam takes to update (non-optional) when I try to play. By the time the game finally shows up, I've left the computer.
