I was doing some homework on the internet for my Advance Placement German class last night, and I came across something that I found to be very interesting. I found a german Magic forum that is discussing Celixia. Check it out here: http://spieleforum.de/forum/showthread.php?t=147719.
For those of you whose German isn't up to par (I'll assume that's most), The comments are generally favorable. The poll at the top is 14/9 think it is cool (dafur=I'm for it. dagegen= I'm against it.)
Some random translations for those who wonder what it says:
L.T. Smash thinks its a good idea, but he doesn't think enough people will be interested for it to work (he apparently hasn't seen this sight). He later goes on to say that he is nuetral about it :wink:
Urza doesn't like the set, because he likes playing with real cards. (Then the poll should bee 14/8, because it wasn't really anything bad about the set.)
Gozzor (who's rank is tool :P ): voted negative, but I don't understand his reason (I understand the German, but his logic is messed up. Something about too much work)
Finally from the negative department, Sandstyle has probably the worst comment (so naturally I post it here :x . He said

There were some good things too:
Doudy-der says it is more exciting than other Magic :D
The thing that confuses me is that more people voted for the set, yet those people didn't post in the forum why. Now before you go off on these people about being so negative, I'll put up a disclaimer. A couple of the posts show that a few of them don't get the whole idea of fictional cards. There were a couple of negative comments just because the cards aren't available in cardboard from (like Urza).
So what do you guys think about the internationalness (i think thats a word) of Celixia?
