Does the Internet hate me, or have other people not been able to access SCG for the past two days?
Has been down for the last ~10 hours at least.
YOU'RE GIVING ME A TIME MACHINE IN ORDER TO TREAT MY SLEEP DISORDER.
At least 24 for me.
In painting, you have unlimited power. You have the ability to move mountains. You can bend rivers.
Yeah, 24 hours or so for me, too.
Craig says it will be down for today, as well.
Since TMD is on the same server, that'll be down too.
There's so many articles to write, but a once-a-month format for myself means that sometimes neat ideas get shelved. I've really wanted to do a Year In Review for Legacy. Maybe that'll be my January one, who knows. We've still got Lorwyn to integrate into Legacy, we've got new possible DCI unbannings, plus lots of other neat stuff going on.
That's right December first is coming up, another opportunity for WotC to neglect Legacy and not clean up the banned list...or maybe theyll actually clean it up finally.
It's very wise of them not to do anything this time, because Legacy in Worlds is coming up. I don't see much to clean up anyway, and even if there is one, it's not worth it when there is a huge constructed fun coming.
Personally, I felt wizards has been good to us Legacy players since GP.

I dont mean to hijack this into a B&R thread, but I guess they probably wont make changes because theres is a big event coming up and I bet they dont want to ruin it like they did GP: Flash, but at some point they have to clean it up and they cant keep justifying not cleaning it up by saying theres an event in the near future because (hopefully)very often there will be an event soon. I mean some OBVIOUS things need to come off like Land Tax, and possibly Earthcraft, Hermit Druid, and Metalworker. To quote the hilarity over in the source card thread, apparently "Tormod's Crypt and Force of Will arnt enough to stop a dominating spell like Hermit Druid"...

B&R discussions are healthy because they show that people are interested in a format, but they're murderously bad as articles. There are people who will listen to reasoned arguments, and there are people with agendas to push. Guess who shout louder in online B&R debates : )
B/R articles have done a lot of good in Vintage and Legacy. A lot players like them. A lot of players also like to complain about them because they don't understand how the decisions are made.
I'll be talking more about the B/R after worlds when the list is open for discussion again.
That's harsh but somewhat true I don't think he should stop getting his articles published but maybe put a little more effort into it. I personally would love to see a budget deck article (for all us poor people out there). I know that alot of people won't like this idea but seriously not everyone has the money to spend for the top decks.
B&R discussions are bad because 99% of what is said is conjecture. Everyone just guesses about what will and wont be good, without any decklists and any games played.
In fact, this is the only good B&R article I can think of, because Machinus specifically refutes the point Aaron Forsythe made in justifying keeping Land Tax banned.
Honestly, who didn't see this coming?Originally Posted by FakeSpam
Mike, you probably don't want to quote a rant that talks about Oath before Forbidden Orchard was printed.
Early one morning while making the round,
I took a shot of cocaine and I shot my woman down;
I went right home and I went to bed,
I stuck that lovin' .44 beneath my head.
If people actually read that rant and actually believe it's about Oath of Druids or Green in general, then they're pretty dumb.
FakeSpam's post there gets a few things wrong regarding the B/R, but this line has always stuck with me:
