I had some technical difficulties over the weekend and wasn't able to do the usual MS Paint map thing. Since this is the last room and you've cleared the rest of the dungeon anyway, I'll just put up a picture I have saved of the whole dungeon. The room is using the "Fire Chasm" tile from...

Dorgath is able to easily unlock the portcullis and slide it open. Magical energy crackles around a second gate behind the portcullis, and at first that gate seems to impose another barrier. Then, with a dull, creaking sound, the gate folds away from you, and light from the lantern pours into...

Deck Name: Doomsday (Anthony Harrison) Magic Format: Premodern Insight: Doomsday piles can be an esoteric aspect of Magic gameplay, and this is the only example I've seen in which the deck's default pile and only apparent win condition is to loop Doomsday repeatedly. While many Doomsday piles...

I know I picked Snowfall just a few days ago, but I think I'd be tempted to switch over to Halls of Mist if I made the picks now. In theory you could just hold it in your hand, wait for an opponent to make a big attack, then drop this land to shut down those attacking creatures for a single...

WotC were basically like, "We had an idea for a card, but we didn't know whether to go with the good version or the bad version, so we just put both in the set. They're both rare, so you could get either one in your booster pack and it'll be a surprise either way. Have fun with that."

Thanks. And yeah, I felt exactly the same way looking back at some of my nominations. Sometimes it's just that the passage of time has changed my own outlook on these cards and sometimes it's more that the game itself has changed so dramatically from what things were like in the mid/late 00's...

Exactly. Perhaps one of the most egregious casualties was Mistform Ultimus, which was so cool and unique in its day, and now gets totally outclassed by Orvar, the All Form. I mean, I'll totally do that at some point, so I don't know how legitimate my contention that it's a bad card really is...

Nothing. My understanding was that Saprolingtoken was calling Island of Wak-Wak an inferior version of Maze of Ith, which it almost always is. It's definitely a bizarre card and there was a time when I'd have agreed that it was the worst card in the set. Having played around with it, I...

Sounds cool. Was it ridiculously bad because you didn't have access to enough colored mana, because you were disrupted by stuff like Wasteland, or just because it took too long to get all three on the board and you were stuck without enough mana to deploy your big spells?

Alright, so the party is healed up and back at the portcullis. Same marching order?

Ooh, it's engagement! Now I'll say what I think about what you think about what I think about what the CPA thought about these cards all those years ago. Um, or something... On the one hand, there are like 100 big red dragon cards in Magic, and WotC will keep making more of them because...
