This is the 62nd expansion of Magic and was released on September 27, 2013. Theros is a great extension. The Set of Details (edited editing source) Theros contains 249 maps (20 main lands, 101 common, 60 unusual, 53 rare, 15 mythical rare), and includes randomly inserted premium versions of all cards. The set has an ancient Greek themed design from top to bottom, using many mythological tropes (Heroes, Monsters and Gods). This is the first set to be set on the Tedos plane. It's mostly monochrome with a handful of gold cards. The Theros block is an enchanting block that reproduces building blocks in the M14 and Return to Ravnica. Mood and tone is a Greek myth: adventure, achievements, achievements, hero's journey. Many existing types of creatures are redesigned according to Greek taste. Apart from the Minotaurs, this is not a tribal set. There are three Planeswalkers in the set, namely Elspeth and two new ones: Ashiok and Xenagos. There is an above average number of legendary permanents. The symbol of expansion depicts a stylized temple and an altar. Storyline (edit source editing) Main articles: Theros (airplane) and Theros: Godsend, Part I Theros is under the theme of a pantheon of 15 powerful gods. The gods, although living in Nix, are able to take different forms and often walk among mortals. Each of them also has a unique color identity. The five main gods are monochrome and form the central pillars of the Teroz belief system. The color identities of these five: Helio (white), Thassa (blue), Erebos (black), Purphoros (red), and Nylea (green). Ten minor gods represent two-color pairings and were introduced later to the Bourne Gods and Journey to the Knicks. After the planes depart from New Firexia, Elspeth finds himself on a vaguely familiar plane, Theros. Although she visited once years ago when she acquired her sword, she remains relatively unaware of the nature of the aircraft, namely theology. Snake priests in the Temple dedicated to Farik help her return to full strength while she reflects on her experience with Cat, Wenzer, Tezzeret, Karn, and Melira in New Firexia. Most of all Elspeth just wants a peaceful life like the one she had on Bunt before Conflux. However, the gods have different plans on Tedos. Walking through the forests of Teros, Elspeth comes face to face with a deadly hydro, already killing many heroes of Therosia. After a fierce battle, she becomes the winner. Helio, taking to the Liv attention for her feat, is now keen to make Elspeth her champion. Xenagos (editing source) Satire was born in the plane Theros, Xenagos spent most of his life messing with his clan of fellow satire. His favorite activities included partying and drinking while his planeswalker sparked and he was able to get away from Having visited many planes and saw the expanses of the Multiverse, his return to his native plane did not come with a sense of home. Now he could see how insignificant his life was before his awakening and even still after. Driven by a desire for power, his mission now is to enter therosian pantheon like a god.

No 6-card accelerators or booster combat packages. Accelerators are equipped with works of art from: Thassa, God of the Sea; Erebos, God of the Dead; Purforos, The God of the Forge; Elspeth, Sun champion and Arena athlete. Theros featured an unprecedented first for organized play: a block-long Magic entertainment experience that will see players complete nine quests in the hero's way (three during Theros and six during Born of the Gods and Journey to the Knicks). Maps of heroes debuted as part of the Path of Hero. These cards are not for use in tournament decks, but are instead awarded to players for completing quests along the Path of Hero. They can use them to defeat later quests. Each card is a duplicitous, one side with a redemption code to Reach Planeswalker Points while other side features game mechanics players can use to help win the Game Day Challenge Deck. Preliminary editing (source of editing) The first quest on The Path of Hero was during the Pre-Reise Tedos on September 21 and 22, 2013. There, players could choose their heroic path based on their favorite mana color (white, blue, black, red or green), get a Seeded Prerelease package and join other heroes on a social hunt for garbage men. The Seeded Prerelease package contained a spindown life counter, a hero card unique to the player's chosen path (respectively, defender, philosopher, avenger, warrior, and one of five quiz-up cards, five Theros boosters, and seeded seeds with cards suitable for that player's chosen path (including one of the five Prerelease promo cards). During the construction of decks and match games players could work together to find answers about Theros on their card activity. This social scavenger hunt offered players the opportunity to engross themselves in the knowledge of the new unit and interact with their fellow heroes. Once the player has filled out the card, he or she can check the answer key to see if they have completed it correctly. The launch of Theros' Weekend Editing Source launched to the public on September 27, 2013 and kicked off Friday Night Magic. Path Hero quest and #2 players to your shop to get a gift from the gods by solving a puzzle hidden in a poster puzzle. Once they have discovered the solution, they can report it to get a second Hero card (The Harvester).

Using a special Challenge Deck provided by the retailer, players could fight Hydra, one of the epic monsters of the Tedos aircraft.

    Gathering of Card Players and Subcultural Expression

    THE MAGIC OF COMMUNITY: GATHERING OF CARD PLAYERS AND SUBCULTURAL EXPRESSION Travis J. Limbert A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2012 Committee: Dr. Marilyn Motz, Advisor Dr. Esther Clinton © 2012 Travis Limbert All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Marilyn Motz, Advisor When Magic: the Gathering was released in 1993, it was the first trading card game. It paved the way for the trading card game subculture and market that exists today. This thesis explores the implications of this subculture and the ways it can be thought of as an urban leisure subculture. This thesis also discusses Magic’s unique community, which has been instrumental in the game’s success over the last two decades. Magic’s community is created symbiotically, through official support by Wizards of the Coast, and the parent company Hasbro, as well as the usage and interaction by the fans and players. It is this interaction that creates a unique community for Magic, which leads to the game’s global popularity, including its tremendous growth since 2010. This thesis looks at trade publications, articles written about Magic, player responses collected through online surveys, and other works to create an extensive work on Magic and its community. This thesis focuses on how the community is important to the consumption of copyrighted cultural texts and how this creates of meaning in players’ lives. iv To my parents, James and Jona, who always encouraged me. v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank my thesis committee, Dr.

    DER VOKALISMUS DES VULGÄRLATEINS. VON HUGO SCHUCHARDT. DRITTER BAND. NACHTRÄGE UND REGISTER. LEIPZIG, DRUCK UND VERLAG VON B. G. TEUBNER. 1868. Vorbemerkung. Gegen Nachträge und Berichtigungen herrscht ein all­ gemeines Vorurtheil. Dieses ist ungerecht. Dem Verfasser kann höchstens der Vorwurf gemacht werden, dass er sein Buch nicht umsichtig genug ausgearbeitet h abe; dass er nachträgt und berichtigt, zeigt immer, wenn auch verspätete, Gewissenhaftigkeit. Ich übrigens hoffe diesem Vorwurf zu entgehen, indem mein Buch die Spuren wiederholter Sorgen tragen dürfte. Wenn sich während des Drucks der beiden ersten Bände aus weiter zugänglich gewordenen Quellen frischer Stoff ansammelte, meine Ansichten über Manches sich fester ausprägten oder sich abänderten, so ist dies begreiflich. Der Werth des Neugewonnenen ergab sich als verschieden: die Mittheilung von Einem erschien unumgänglich, die von Anderem wünschenswerth, die von noch Anderem allerdings entbehrlich, aber immerhin nützlich. Eine freiere Form dieser Nachträge war der Beschaffenheit des Ganzen nach unmöglich. Die Unbequemlichkeit der Benutzung ist demgemäss eine nothwendige; sie ist aber keineswegs eine so grosse, wie man gewöhnlich annimmt, wenn man daraus eine Beschwerde gegen den Verfasser schmieden kann. Der Druck dieses dritten Bandes hat sich in Folge ver­ schiedener Umstände lange hingezogen; daher der grösste Theil der l i tterarischen Erscheinungen dieses Jahres — zumal da ich mich seit geraumer Zeit im Auslande befinde — keine Berücksichtigung hat finden können. Die Anfertigung des Registers (ein alphabetisches erwies sich als undurchführbar) bot grosse Schwierigkeiten dar. Das gegebene ist unvollkommen; es zeigt aber wenigstens, was unter dem beiläufig Angeführten zu finden ist. IV Von der französischen Akademie wurde meinem Buche eine ehrenvolle Erwähnung zu Theil.

  • Mitologi Yunani

    Mitologi Yunani

    Mitologi Yunani Awal Dunia Gaia, dewi bumi. Pada awalnya, yang ada hanyalah Khaos, yaitu suatu sosok yang tidak berbentuk dan misterius. Dari Khaos ini muncullah Erebos, kegelepan tempat berdiamnya kematian, dan Nix, sang dewi malam yang misterius. Selain mereka bertiga, yang ada hanyalah kesunyian, kekosongan, ketidakterbatasan. Lalu terlahir Eros (cinta), Gaia (bumi), dan Tartaros. Adalah cinta yang memungkinkan terjadinya hubungan untuk menghasilkan anak. Erebos tidur dengan Nix, yang kemudian melahirkan Aither (atmosfer), dan Hemera (hari). Itu adalah hubungan seksual yang pertama di dunia. Nix juga secara partenogenesis (tanpa hubungan seksual) melahirkan Moros (murka), Moirai (takdir), Hipnos (tidur), Thantanos (maut), Oneiroi (mimpi), dan Nemesis (pembalasan). Nix menyuruh semua anak-anaknya untuk keluar dari kegelapan. Sementara itu secara partenogenesis melahirkan Uranus (langit), Urea (pegunungan), dan Pontos (laut). Uranus menikahi ibunya dan menjadi pengusa dunia. Uranus menutupi seluruh tubuh Gaia dan Bersama-sama mereka melakukan hubungan seksual untuk kemudian melahirkan tiga Kiklops, tiga Hekatonkhire, dan dua belas Titan. Gaia juga melakukan hubungan dengan Pontos dan melahirkan dewa laut (Nereus, Forkis, dan Thaumas), dewi laut Euribia, dan monster laut Keto. Dari Tartarus, gaia memiliki anak bertama Typhon, yang merupakan ayah dari segala monster. Para Kiklops (Arges, Brontes, dan Steropes) adalah raksasa bermata satu sedangkan para Hekatonkhire (Briareus, Kottus, dan Giges) adalah raksasa bertangan seratus dan berkepala lima puluh. Ukuran mereka sangat besar dan 1 mereka sangat kuat. Karena penampilan mereka yang mengerikan, Uranus membenci mereka dan menyuruh mereka kembali ke Tartarus, rahim ibu mereka. Uranus tidak sadar bahwa perbuatannya ini akan memicu peperangan antar dewa selama berabad-abad berikutnya. Kronus memotong alat kelamin Uranus.
