    How do you feel on the return of fetchlands?

    Ah, methheads, those lovable scamps. I was helping a friend sell some stuff at the swap meet when a pair of people who fit the profile arrived. They set up a couch, a lamp and an end table for sale. The woman just left and the guy went to sleep on the couch, until he just left as well. I...

    How do you feel on the return of fetchlands?

    Actually, I had a detachable face to my car stereo, which they did take, but they managed to snap it off rather than just take it (there's a button that just makes it come off). They also took my tire chains (only used once, I don't have much call for them in my part of California). Not the...

    How do you feel on the return of fetchlands?

    I had a box of decks stolen out of my car a few years back and didn't even notice (I wasn't really playing at the time); now looking at current prices, that box was worth over a thousand dollars. Pretty amazing, if I went back in time to 1999, would I be better off buying Wastelands or Apple stock?

    How do you feel on the return of fetchlands?

    The prices on the secondary market just boggle my mind. I feel like the old man reminiscing about when you could take the trolley for a nickel and still have enough left over for a butterscotch. Obviously I'm in favor of reprinting everything, especially those things that were printed while I...

    Magic Changes Coming...

    Yes, my statement was a parody of the standard internet reaction to any change or announcement. This is basically completely benign for casual players. I mean, the Core set has a bunch of new cards and is a lot more like a regular expansion now (I had the same thought about "staple" cards, but...

    Magic Changes Coming...

    And let me be the first to say that with this action WOTC has clearly ruined Magic forever and I'll never play again.

    Sports League: Season 5 Sign-Ups and Info

    I'll throw in a vote for Wurmcoil Engine, I didn't even know turgy22 had that card (thought it was a rookie but apparently not), I was terrified of it the whole game. Woebringer Demon was the most impactful card on your side, but I'm not certain if it hurt or helped you overall.

    Sports League: Season 5 Sign-Ups and Info

    Yeah, this is really only about voting for cards like Godhead of Awe, or Humility, or Cursed Scroll . . . wait a minute . . . Actually, I see this process not so much about game balance as about forcing turnover in decks. I don't want to play the same deck forever, so forcing cards into...

    Sports League Season 5, Week 1: Melkor vs. Turgy22

    Yeah, I had a feeling that I'd need that Ward of Lights at instant speed. Also, the Sage Owl was well timed, as the Cursed Scroll was the fourth card down.

    Sports League Season 5, Week 1: Melkor vs. Turgy22

    In response I will activate Cursed Scroll, naming Ward of Lights, showing Ward of Lights, targeting the Woebringer Demon; then I will cast Ward of Lights as an instant on the Godhead, giving it protection from Black

    Sports League Season 5, Week 2: Spidey vs. Rokapoke

    My understanding is that you can't respond directly to the declaring of blockers because the declaration process doesn't use the stack; you have to do your fast effects either before or after.
