    Hall of Shame Nominations: Arabian Nights

    Pyramids is bad. City in a bottle is awesome though. Imagine yourself playing this on turn 2 in a Arabian nights draft. I nominate Aladdin's lamp. For 10 mana, you get NOTHING. Then, for X, you can choose from the top cards which card you want INSTEAD of drawing a card. By the time this card...

    If I go down, then I'm taking all of you with me

    If you have the mana to make it work, a splash is worth it most of the time. Both colors have a high colored mana requirement. I don't see your list starting with "4 badlands, 4 bloodstained mire", so I'm not sure if this deck can handle it. At least not the 1BBB for grave pact. Besides, while...

    Membership drive

    Me neither, but RSS is pretty standard. There has to be a vB plugin.

    Why bother with red when black has grave pact?

    Membership drive

    We could get the front page articles get mentioned on mtgsalvation's radar. It would require someone to program a RSS-feed for the frontpage.

    Hall of Shame Vote: Alpha/Beta/Unlimited

    I voted Farmstead because: 1. It's a rare; 2. It's crap; 3. Even though it has a beneficial effect, the effect is even smaller than my option Power leak; 4. I don't want to vote on my own card; 5. I want to fit in with the masses. Looking at the list actually wants me to shout out loud the...

    Dancing gnomes FTW! It's a real pity Recurring nightmare is banned. I have considered Syphon life, but I already run two other retrace cards. I might change the gnomes for Mindless automaton though, I already have spike feeder and ravenous baloth that are similar but strictly better. EDIT: I...

    This is a lot harder than I thought. I figured this would let me play all the cards I wanted to play with (in the appropriate colors, obviously), but apparently I like more cards than I thought. The list, plus the cards I've taken into consideration. general 1 Savra, queen of the Golgari...

    An Eventide Card that I really like!!

    You mean Gilder Bairn (barn, heh). Great art! It does target, unfortunately. Helix pinnacle would've been better if it had troll shroud instead of normal shroud. You could use Giant fan, it doesn't target the card but the counters on it.

    Hall of Shame Nominations: Alpha/Beta/Unlimited

    I'll nominate Power leak. You can't play the card like... ever, and even then it's effect is marginal at best. You play a situational card and you get a situational effect that will hardly affect game state. Crappp with a capital C (and not only because it's the first word of this sentence). A...

    An Eventide Card that I really like!!

    Alternate win conditions are a nice gimmick, but wouldn't you rather do something different with 100 mana?

    Yeah, you get dropped from the player reward program and they stop keeping track of your rating. But you can reactivate it if you want.

    You have to pick a single general for your deck. Of course you can run more legends in your deck.

    Eventide Pre-Releases

    The KV site goes down for days quite regularly. Server issues. It was up last week, and has been up for about a month. So perhaps you timed your visits wrong ;)

    Eventide Pre-Releases

    I might be going to the instore prerelease at the local magic club here in The Hague, but that's next friday. I doubt it, as I know no one that's going. The recurring trend in my m:tg experience.

    I haven't gotten to building the deck. I'm suffering from my major handicap: I want to build too many decks. Not so much of a problem in itself, only I don't have the cards for all these decks. I do have a lot of cards, usually no more than 4 of them. I surely could use 12 Bayou's, for instance...

    So now you can legally play 8 Seedborn muse. Sickening.

    Hall of Shame

    You have a good point. A "destroy target wall" card is pretty much crap outside of Legends. Well, even crappier... But for most cards there's a reason that it's printed (at least with modern sets). But that reason could lie with OLDER sets, so I'd say you'd have to judge a card on that merits as...

    Eventide Previews

    This card has the freakiest art I've seen in years. Amazing.
