    What have you all been up to?

    Well... Just playing EDH I suppose. My forum routine just migrated to the mtgcommander.net forum. Until that died. And then sometimes I remember to drop by and comment on one of the many Oversoul threads.

    MTG Arena and the general lack of imagination of today's youth

    The (or better, one of the many) downsides of Arena is that you can't interact with your opponent. So there's no way to give or receive feedback about the deck you just played (or are going to play). That doesn't stimulate originality.

    Spirit of the Pestilence [EDH]

    Hey Oversoul, just popped in to mention that this thread was one of the first to pop up when I googled for Hecatomb. I don't have a monoblack EDH deck, a pile of black cards and a Hecatomb, so I'm close to calling it a deck.

    Magic Memories: Academy Rector

    And to be honest that's still cheap for a playable RL card .

    Free Games!

    The Epic store gives away free PC games every few days. Sometimes mainstream big titles that are a few years old, sometimes relatively new but unknown games. If you want free games... worth checking out. Obviously you're paying with a privacy intrusion.

    The Comboist Manifesto: Looking Back at Fame and Shame [Article]

    This is a great callback Oversoul, thanks for taking the time to go down memory lane. I think these nominations where one of the fun things for me at CPA, but I had completely forgotten about it!

    Inquest Top 50 Magic Combos

    As I recall it the quality went down over time. I'm not even sure I experienced the end, but by that time Internet was more of a thing. I skipped MTG for the full duration of 1999 and even a bit earlier, but it was Inquest that kept me connected to some extend, and it was certainly what got me...

    Inquest Top 50 Magic Combos

    This is cool. I probably have that issue as well.

    Magic Memories: Spike Weaver

    I have a Spike Weaver on my desk! Okay, maybe for most magic players "I have a magic card on my desk" doesn't trigger anything, but I cleared the desk before I went on holiday and just yesterday gathered some cards to update a few decks before playing (over webcam). Some time ago I changed my...

    Magic Memories: Dark Ritual

    Interesting. I love Dark Ritual, but I'm not playing it in any of my EDH decks. Are you simply playing more competitive decks than I am, or am I just missing the point?

    Coronavirus

    Hi guys, I haven't died of covid-19 and nobody deleted my user account here, so all is fine. I hope all of you are healthy.

    I totally expected some serious Trump talk here, LOL!!!

    I think Tabletop Simulator gets nice once you get vr goggles. That'd work in the office, right? Also, hi KJ, I recall some of tourney posts. Something with pro points, right?

    History is repeating itself

    What forum are you talking about? I started with Arena a few months ago, mainly to see if it was a way to teach my 7 year old how to play the lovely game of Magic. While the chat in MTGO could be toxic, in Arena there's so little interaction it gets boring fast. YMMV. About casual vs...

    Oversoul is a bit preoccupied for now...

    Good luck with your new house. Buying one can be a huge time drain, don't get stressed.

    Oh, good for you!

    The Wall

    I just read it'll take years. Poor spidey.

    The Wall

    By which you basically prove building a wall doesn't solve the problem. Or you should build a wall around Miami as well. Considering the expected sea level increase that might not be a bad idea...

    Masters sets

    How kind of Wizards. No, everybody outside Northern America gets the shaft, no Hasbro store here. So no Mythic edition either.

    Masters sets

    What fiasco? I've been a fan of the gameday frame for a while. Closer inspection of some of the art tempered my enthusiasm though: no extended art, but blown up. Like it appeared to you. Or maybe the regular art is cropped but it is the same picture. This might be for some cards or for all, I...
