Spoilers, constantly.

I'm a fan of filmonic.com, which talks about movies coming up in the future. Problem is, the 2011 2012 kind of future. It's information and posters and suchlike, but the product they're extolling wont be due out for another 24 months at the least. That's a long time to hold excitement, and plenty of movies die before they're ever made. That's the bad thing about such a long-sighted movie schedule.

I'd like to stitch the same idea to spoilers for Magic sets, but the time between cards being spoiled and the actual cards being available is a pebble compared to the asteroid storm of the movie's spoiler-to-real world incarnation. The principals are similar though in that movies that die are like cards that never were. Good case would be Giant Solufuge spoiled as a 4/3, not the 4/1 it is. People went nuts.

It came out and they were disappointed, "Better when it was 4/3." I got this information from a recent Mike Flores article on mtg.com, he's good for his word. To further look at the spoiler-ific, we already know that Scars of Mirrodin is coming out "next". It's still 3 months away though. There's an entire big set to deal with before then.

Good bye.
