    The war is over!

    Trust me on this one: they were there - just like most of the WMD's from Iraq were in Syria. This is all declassified information, but it helps that I knew people that were actually there and had access to that intelligence...

    The war is over!

    It doesn't surprise me that the Taliban was still around after all of this - when you have an entire country (Pakistan) to hide in, it's easy to "just show up" after most of the American troops have left... Every President going back to Obama claimed to have an exit plan to leave Afghanistan...

    The war is over!

    (wow. I forgot that I started this thread. I am so old) It's kind of sad that the same media that has been complaining to all of our Presidents to end the war in Afghanistan are now attacking President Biden for doing exactly what they've been whining about for nearly 20 years. Someone needs to...

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

    I remember a contest on one of the sites that originally sponsored the CPA back in '99 that actually wanted people to come up with a "good" use for Sorrow's Path. I tried to create something, but Sixth Edition rules made it moot...

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

    Oh, there was some colored mana in it it - Blue, I think. Combined with Candelabra of Tanos, and Braingeyser, people hated me :)

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

    Maze of Ith was probably my favorite rare from The Dark - Sorrow's Path was probably my second one strictly because it was just so insanely wrong...

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

    Actually, I had a set of Urza's lands and built a whole deck around them. It was a pain to get going, but was often overlooked during multiplayer games because it was so ridiculously bad - and then when I had the full set in play, it got nasty fast! :)

    Tribal Update Report: Adventures in the Forgotten Realms

    I've had some success with Goblin tribal (especially with the pack attack mechanic) and find that even after September's rotation that my favourite little red guys will still be a threat to be reckoned with...

    Happy 4th everyone!

    Ironically, down in Florida, they're not legal where I live, but that doesn't stop my idiot neighbors from setting them off - of course, pending tropical storms do...

    Happy 4th everyone!

    Yaya - another noisy holiday to remind me how much I hate fireworks! :)

    Magic meets D&D - and not in a good way

    I like Sphere of Annihilation, but I just wish that it was colorless instead of black. Sure, being black helps fit its "Tomb of Horrors" origins, but it also makes it extremely vulnerable to cards like Ugin...

    The war is over!

    After nearly two decades of war in Afghanistan, the United States has decided to pull out of their largest base, Bagram. Of course, no sooner than the last plane is in the air, the local show up to loot everything that isn't nailed down. Reminds me of what happened to a couple of bases I worked...

    Magic meets D&D - and not in a good way

    I've been getting my daily emails from WotC about the cards that are going to be published in their next set that revolves around Forgotten Realms and all I can say is "Can you get any greedier?" Nothing like ramming two of your major products together in the most violent way and while it makes...

    Tribal Update Report: Modern Horizons 2

    Where are the Goblins? I'm starting to get annoyed, here...

    Tribal decks on CPA

    If any of the Goblins have Mountainwalk, I would recommend a Blood Moon. Very handy - especially these days when so many lands are non-basic...

    Magic Memories: Oath of Druids

    The sad part about all of these insane cards is how well they'd work with Tibalt's Trickery these days...

    Origin of your username

    I once made a Thalid deck back during the Urza's block. It actually worked!

    Origin of your username

    My original username was deleted due to another admin's account getting hacked, so technically I'm someone else - or am I? I need sleep...

    Happy Memorial Day

    While everyone is out at barbecues, hanging with their family and friends (at a proper social distance, of course), or just watching Tv, take a moment to remember all of the people that fought to keep the peace in these uncertain times (and I'm not talking about all of the Soldier creatures...

    May 19, 2021 B&R Announcement

    Yeah, at first I was happy to see that the 'Oracle had been banned, but sad because I don't play Historic...now, if she were banned in Standard...
