Поскольку в официальной базе DCI-рейтинги “Total”, по непонятной причине, обновляются на сутки позже остальных, время обновления всех DCI-рейтингов на сайте mtg.ru было ре�?ено привязать ко времени официального обновления рейтингов “Total”, чтобы обрабатывать все данные сразу и корректно отображать их текущие изменения.
Другими словами, обновление DCI-рейтингов на сайте будет пока происходить, скорее всего, по четвергам.
Swamp
– Shards of Alara basic land. You might think the most Swamp-centric Limited format was Odyssey-Odyssey-Torment, but it was really triple Urza’s Saga. Having both Pestilence and Corrupt at common meant that it was not unusual for an eight-person table to have multiple mono-black drafters.
Island
– Shards of Alara basic land. On pages 12-13 of Duelist #10 (April-May 1996), Chris Page wrote a two-page article about how the Duelists’ Convocation (now the DCI) was going to ban Islands. This was just an April Fool’s joke, but it caused confusion for years to come.
Plains
– Shards of Alara basic land. Although historically hardly any cards have the ability to plainswalk, there are two cards that were created explicitly to block them. Sorry, Zodiac Rooster!
Esper Cormorants
– Conflux common. The flavor text for Esper Cormorants shows one of the ways in which the ways of Esper are strange to the people of Bant. Earth-bound cormorants are widely varied, with (according to Wikipedia), at least 40 types.
Soraya the Falconer
– Homelands rare. When it was first printed in 1995, Soraya the Falconer could only work with Falcons. But with the advent of the Great Creature Type Update, she can give banding to any bird in Magic. Clearly, the falconer spent the years since 1995 learning new skills.
Jeweled Bird
– Arabian Nights uncommon. Although it’s banned in all sanctioned formats (as are all ante cards), Jeweled Bird was the key card in Kai Budde’s win over Dan Clegg at the 2001 Magic Invitational. So you have it to thank for the existence of Voidmage Prodigy!
