I've been away for a year and when I come back, a new term has been coined. What is a "roleplayer" in MtG context?

Actually I think that's pretty good. I haven't been running Cabal Ritual and Chrome Mox at the same time, but I've tried them both and they both work incredibly well in TES and I could see a split...
...play casual and Limited. I started playing Legacy because it was the format all of my friends played back then, and I keep playing Legacy because it's the only format in addition to draft that I...
In fact it does. It also takes into account a huge amount of testing I've done a few years ago.
Sure, but a Junk player shouldn't think "How do I protect my threats? How do I disrupt the...
I don't know if discard is better than countermagic in terms of raw power or anything (EDIT: Actually, I think that T-16 is, indeed, stronger than any of the counterspells in Legacy even in terms of...
Doesn't sound like Dark Ritual would shine in this deck. You'd probably have Hymn and Bob there as well, but still, most of your cards would be 1cc or have an alternative cost. Dark Ritual allows...
It doesn't. Because it can search for Empath, when you're going off it's at least as good as Empath and sometimes better. It's worse than Empath only when you don't have Food Chain, and in that...
I think you should be running 1x Fierce Empath, 1x Emrakul, 1x Maga and 1x Imperial Recruiter. Recruiter can search for Maga, but it can also search for Empath, which then can search for Emrakul.

Well, I can see why they changed it. Most likely it would've been the drawback, and keywords that are drawbacks aren't cool (even casual players don't want to build a "paincasting deck" when...
Actually, it's two formats. Worldwake and Zendikar were drafted together and Rise of the Eldrazi was drafted alone.
EDIT:
I'm not denying that. And for sure it was also even faster than...
Most people will probably side Swords out. Griffins and Emrakuls aren't very good targets for it.

Dissension was a very significant set. Nowadays, with Flash banned, Dissension isn't very significant.
Koby: Thanks for the...
I wrote a long post, then I came into the conclusion that it's too complicated to decide whether Decay is worth running over Echoing Truth or not without test results, so I deleted the worthless...
I was a little surprised to find out how weak a lot of sets were. Many cards on your list, especially those from the older sets, are below the average Legacy card. And except for Mirrodin and...
A successful rogue deck is always better than a widely known deck, no matter what format you're playing. The fact that less people know about your tech is an advantage; if a lot of players are bad...
A very nicely written article.
I've found out that at least for me, it works pretty well when I openly admit to love board games. Playing board games such as Carcassonne or Ticket to Ride is a...
It's about time they started printing Walkers with reasonable ultimatums and powerful second abilities. Also, I really want to resolve this before my opponent plays his third land.
A very...
I might be mistaken, but white's blinking ability usually returns the card at end of turn, while these cards return it immediately.
It does take skill to choose the deck you have the best results with. If you're a bad player, it's a skillful choice to play Reanimator. If nobody in your metagame runs grave hate or counterspells,...
Brainstorm as a 4-of is okay in Legacy and not in Vintage, because in Vintage, the cards you are drawing are more powerful. The same isn't true for Workshop - the most stupid card you would be...
If it's fine when you get the Food Chain, then it's pretty much always fine. Just exile the cards you don't need and leave the upkeep cost unpaid.
Surely, there are. None of them are good enough.
You just mentioned four.
You have to discard two cards. You're trading three cards for one, which isn't a pretty good thing. People are sideboarding FoW out in games 2 and 3 against many decks, and the reason for that is the...
This would be awesome, if there also was some kind of a reward for being correct. Otherwise, this rule would probably kill the discussion after the most active people already had their first warnings.
