MP6 O1
I chose these cards because they are 3 of the most common cards in my deck, or at least 3 of the most commonly used cards in my deck. They each have some special properties that I like. Trample on the Feral Ridgewolf allows me to do extra damage to my opponent if my wolf is stronger than his creature. The Maw of Hell is an incredibly powerful card that I combo with another to deal damage to a target creature, take out a land, and then deal damage to my opponent. Brimstone Volley is also powerful because of its second ability of Morbid, where it deals more damage if a creature dies during the turn.

Borderlands 2
Research and Development
Borderlands came from an original game called "The Border Lands" from the 1980s. The concept was built around the idea of being a "treasure hunter" looking for a magic treasure on a far off world. The storyline is also rumored to have a small influence from the story of WWII. Personally I can't see that but some people can. Its an incredibly ficticious story set in a beautiful albeit deadly world.
Gathering Materials
To create the art there was so much time invested in concept sketching and artwork. The developers also travelled to deserts and jungles to get a feel for the lighting and mood of those places so they could translate that into each level. They also studied many sci-fi books based around treasure hunters and bandits to learn about how they function but to also create the very unique characters of the game.
Game Concept
Borderlands takes you inside one of the 4 Vault Hunters that travels around this planet, Pandora, to search for the lost treasure of the Vault. In this game the idea was to build on the idea that the Vault was already opened and someone is now in control of it, and that it holds more power than originally thought. Also, for this game, the developers travelled out to gun manufacturers to gain insight about how various weapons work so they could translate that into one of the bazillions of guns that can be found throughout the game.

Game that uses cutscenes
Deus Ex: Human Revolution
DXHR uses cutscenes to separate major landmarks and milestones in the game. The cutscenes normally introduce you to a new character or important moment. These cutscenes are sometimes pre-rendered (noticeably more realistic and clean) and sometimes they use the game-quality models. It always depends on the situation in the game.
