~Happy Tuesday MTG peeps,Welcome to March, 2013. Here in central Ontario (just north of Toronto), we are still in the grips of a winter and are looking forward to having all the snow and ice gone sooner than latter. Remember to get out to your local card shop / gaming store for Friday Night Magic - the FNM foil promo this month is Farseek, which in our opinion is an excellent choice given a number of standard constructed builds relying on this to accelerate. We've pick up a deck set from MTG Mint Card when the 2013 core set came out and are now looking to score these new promos.Anywhoos - Today, we are again visiting our sister site,
MTG Realm on Tumblr to see what
's new and exciting. ~ Magic: the Gathering - Art‘Ruric Thar, The Unbowed’, by
Tyler JacobsonThe leader of the Ghor clan, Ruric Thar, is a two-headed ogre who rules his clan with barbaric cruelty. He also claims to be the only Gruul warrior to face Borborygmos himself and live, although one of his heads is hideously deformed as a result of the battle. In the book by Doug Beyer,
‘Gatecrash: The Secretist, Part Two’, Jace Beleren must defeat Ruric to rediscover evidence to piece together the investigation he was working on.
The art above was submitted by artist Tyler Jacobsen and judged at
The Spectrum 20 fantasy arts competition for which it was selected as a nominee in the institutional arts category.
There is a very slim chance that Ruric Thar may be a card in the next set
‘Dragon’s Maze’.
