  1. Re: DCI update 12/20/10

    Why couldn't that be a question that the DCI asked themselves each time it became an issue? It's not like they're otherwise busy curing cancer.
  2. Re: DCI update 12/20/10

    What bugs me the most is that the tone of the DCI implies that "this stuff is permanent" in various ways. They do that on multiple levels, trying to bathe the ruling in an objective, context free...
  3. Re: [Free Article] Experimenting in Legacy Against You-Know-What

    I'd have a difficult time dropping money on Opals just to play affinity even though they're much more reasonable now.

    Re: [SPOILERS] Mirrodin Besieged, the first stronk card are out!

    I think you mean stronk.

    It's kind of silly that their schedule doesn't release this stuff before the holidays so people who wouldn't pick up a box of scars at this juncture might impulse buy a...
  5. Re: [Article] Why Survival Shouldn't Be Banned, But Will Be Anyawy

    Huh, is that something we actually know?
  6. Re: [article] Should You Sell Your Survivals? A Fiscal Analysis

    ^ I think you need to explain that a bit more. Second part makes sense but I'm not sure about what winners and losers might entail.

    /edit, ok, I got it now, nevermind.

    I will say that when...
  7. Re: Commander: EDH Precons with 51 new Eternal-only cards out next June

    That was the point I was making. Maybe you read that one sentence as if I had a questionmark or something; we're on the same page here, I'm guessing.

    I'm not sure WoTC totally understands it...
  8. Re: Commander: EDH Precons with 51 new Eternal-only cards out next June

    Let's look at a close precedent: Swords to Plowshares only being available through a coldsnap theme deck on MTGO. Did people shell out $50 for a playset of four? Yes. Was it fair? Questionable. OTOH,...

  10. Re: [Article] Saito Busted at GP Florence and What it Means

    Saito is probably an ok dude. OTOH, if the Pro Tour by its nature turns ok people into dicks, maybe it's not in Hasbro's best interest to maintain it, especially when their trained dickwolves start...
  11. Re: [article] Should You Sell Your Survivals? A Fiscal Analysis

    No need to be defensive; Just saying I want more in that vein. Plus, I actually wrote for Quiet Speculation before it got cool. ;)
  12. Re: [article] Should You Sell Your Survivals? A Fiscal Analysis

    ^ Yeah, all the angst over the pack to power arguments? Not something I want to get involved in. Hell, I didn't even think about joining MTGO until I found out about the bots and how generally...
  13. Re: [article] Should You Sell Your Survivals? A Fiscal Analysis

    OTOH, if you have to pay shipping + transaction fees to sell them and then shipping fees to rebuy them (and let's face it, they've been pretty *scarce* over the past two years even before vengevine...

    Re: [Blog Post] Survival in Legacy

    Heck, I played Phyrexian War Beast and liked it; it survived lightning bolt and ate Kird Apes / knights and could be played off of ritual!

    Re: [article] Survival Doesn't Need To Be Banned

    But why do Spirits have to suck compared to weeds? It really doesn't feel green to me; seems like a stretch, especially since haste is mostly a peripheral green ability. Vengevine feels like a...
  16. Re: [Free Article] The One Where Elias Battles Menendian

    I was goofing around on MTGO once in extended a while back and someone played it and I'm like "that's a real card? Seriously? And they let you play four of them in EXT?"

    Re: [SOM] Spoiler Discussion

    I think there are some sleepers in the set that will take a lot of rummaging around through old sets to figure out; otoh, they played it safe in a lot of areas.

    In a set that features artifacts,...

    Re: [SOM] Spoiler Discussion

    ^ It's kinda weird with the templating though, where they write the full name out once, and then just the first part on the second ability.

    Wither + regeneration is kinda hot, actually, or it...

    Re: [SOM] Spoiler Discussion

    How? Dumping its hand doesn't lead to victory. Frogmite still loses to everything zoo is packing and since you're backpedaling in that match (and against merfolk too), even myr enforcer is more of a...

    Poll: Re: Legacy, Summer 2010: Most Bannable Card?

    Yeah, but none of those interactions, beyond nacatl, actually make a difference in legacy. The only thing land types on duals do in legacy, outside of a few minor exceptions, is make the original...

    Poll: Re: Legacy, Summer 2010: Most Bannable Card?

    I have to agree with this. Fetches change the nature of duals and make something relavent (land type) that is not normally relevant in most situations, meaning there's seldom any other interactions...

    Re: GP Disqualification at 13-1-2

    It can be, especially if they start to request non standard (but still legal if agreed upon) shortcuts.

    For example, year and years ago, I won game 1 vs. turbofog with my even more shitty deck...

    I'm looking forward to the next Wesconomics.

    Step 1: punch someone in the face
    Step 2: run off with his deck and ebay it

    Re: [Deck] Spanish Inquisition (B/x Storm Combo)

    Troll and Toad had a bunch of them for $12 last week. I only bought one to finish my set; I was surprised to find that they had gone down in price. :shrug:
