Well I did'nt go =P


But my friends did and they got me some cards signed by Winona Nelson and Antony Palumbo

Thanks YH and Norman ;)

I don't really have much love for Winona's work... I think mostly cos I don't really know many of her works well =P but I thought the Voice of Resurgence was very nicely done. Both in the technique as well as the idea. The idea is really simple yet beautiful. Just take a walk on a sunny day, walk under the canopy of trees and Voila! Voice of Resurgence =) Its really just the mottled play of sunshine with the various umbras of the leaves. Gorgeous. As for Chandra. Well its Chandra. Seriously I like the Champion playmat art for M14 games day better than the one by Winona. Mostly because Winona's rendition looks too soft. But still its a pretty piece of art. And hey its Chandra. =D 

But one thing I totally missed was this: Bruna, Light of Alabaster. I totally missed that! I have a soft spot for Bruna, because I opened her in the Avacyn prerelease and built an angel deck from my pool. I only lost one match and in many games the angels came in the nick of time, Bruna featured lots. So I had a soft spot for her =) Oh well. I'll have to be happy with having the playmat I guess =) (Actually for a long time I thought Antony did Bruna. I am so confused.)

As for Antony. I totally forgot Firedrinker Satyr. Which was a bit of a shame since I thought one one of the best things about Theros is that it brings Satyrs into mainstream Magic. Something I wished they had done ages ago lol.
