My quotes are 75% another approach on the current topic, and 25% cool quotes. Failure to learn lessons from history = game loss. Even though you're not using swords, you should read Art of War, etc etc.Originally Posted by Happy Gilmore

I use pertinant quotes to start every one of my articles. It's good to parallel this game to real life.
"I am become death, the destroyer of worlds. "
-J. Robert Oppenheimer
He was talking about Black-splash Ernham-geddon.
If you want to draw parallels with Magic theory and the words of someone famous, take the time to work it into the body of the article, and actually draw those parallels.
Pasting a random quote to the top of every article has become incredibly trite. Stop doing it.
Judges caring about Bribery is one of the most amusing things I've ever read. And agreed, the quotes in everyone's articles are unnecessary.
However, I must say that the sentence "Even if you get it early, making cantrips cost two was not that big a barrier to the Threshold player. The cantrips do not kill you, the giant freakin’ Green creature does." made me laugh out loud and is incredibly true.
I will go on record to say that Boggart Mob is crap in Legacy. You wrote the following:
To which I would respond, in what universe do you have four counters on an Aether Vial with Goblins where you aren't either
A. In a pretty good position to win the game anyway, or
B. in a position where you're losing and Boggart Mob won't help?
To me, a four-counter Vial indicates insantiy with Ringleader and the chance to overwhelm you with ridiculous forces.
I will say that despite thinking Mob is crap and Thorn's not quite right for the deck as it is currently, Wort is a complete nutbar. I haven't convinced myself she's worth the black splash just for her, but I haven't convinced myself she isn't either. Being able to kill a Tarmogoyf by Gempalming it with the Wort trigger on the stack, recurring the Gempalm, and then Gempalming it again is priceless.
This doesn't work, as far as I can tell, because Wort's ability targets, and you have to choose one when you put it on the stack.
I don't see what's wrong with the quotes. They're harmless, not actively annoying (I wouldn't think?), and occasionally interesting.
SummenSaugen: well, I use Chaos Orb, Animate Artifact, and Dance of Many to make the table we're playing on my chaos orb token
SummenSaugen: then I flip it over and crush my opponent
Tacosnape: I meant to bring it out more in the article, but I don't think Mob is a good maindeck card (unless you contort your deck to run 9+ four-drops, but what alternate world is that?). I'm really wondering about some number of Mobs in the sideboard to beat decks like Landstill or other board control decks. Something like Fanatic, Matron, Mob (championing the Matron) can easily overwhelm a Landstill player without over-commiting into Deed the way Ringleader can't. And if they Deed you, you get Matron back to go get another Mob. I'm looking at Mob as another set of Ringleaders that isn't draw dependent. They don't help you beat counters as easily, but counters aren't the biggest threat post-board (plus, immunity to REB is huge).

What he said. Ok, now I'm done spouting my qualms. Go back to discussing Goblins.
Team Unicorn is too hetero for me.While this is close it's still wrong. Every one knows it's an orgy of unicorns.******s?
