    Casualties of War - Updates

    Would you prefer a positive effect or a negative effect for Hall of Heroes? Positive: Hall of Heroes Legendary Land Rare Tap: Add 1 colorless mana to your mana pool. Tap: Target Legend gains +2/+2 and 2: Regeneration until end of turn. Or negative: Hall of Heroes Legendary Land Rare You may...

    And unfortunately, I don't have a real good answer... See, since the Ratification of the Mission Statement vote we've been waiting on the revised edition of said document. Without a clear mandate from our membership on the Mission Statement it wouldn't be fair to everyone if we unilaterally...

    Casualties of War: Storyline

    No Spiderman, I'm not on the West coast, or on the other side of the world (though a case could be made for something extraterrestrial ;)). I'm actually in Brookfield, a suburb of Chicago, and I'm working a 2nd/3rd split shift at work right now. I guess it would have been more accurate to have...

    COW List

    My reasoning is this, that all the cards you posted here have already been seen and talked about in the following forums: http://www.magic-singles.com/cpa/forums/showthread.php?threadid=1008 http://www.magic-singles.com/cpa/forums/showthread.php?threadid=1007...

    Casualties of War: Storyline

    Okay, this is what Chaos Turtle and I have come up with so far. Please keep in mind that this is a very rough outline, and that we'd like to write it up as a story later, once the set gets finalized and things settle down a bit. Let's start with a general background on the various races in our...

    COW List

    Too bad this time it doesn't really count. Congratulations, man. You've just released a spoiler list to the same people who created the cards in the first place! :rolleyes: You're right, Zadok. This is the beta version of the cards, sent out for a final tuning prior to their inclusion in the...

    Least Liked set

    And I forgot a few cards you remembered. I don't know that I agree with your assessment on the Factories, Galtwish (I've used them a lot, so I know their limitations), but I think maybe I need to change my vote to The Dark after all. 7 useful cards (if somewhat situational) beats 2 (Ball...

    advisory panel

    FoR, how did they know you were lying? Is that, like, a psychic computer? Wow. That's scary! :eek: I tried to sign up, and got the same errors Griffith_se got. I wonder what's up with that? :confused:

    Least Liked set

    Not only for the way it unbalanced Type 2, but also for the way it permanently damaged Type 1 and made 1.5 even more of a memory. For a set filled with useless cards, OTOH, nothing beats Antiquities, though The Dark comes in a close second. Both were before my time though, so perhaps I should...

    Let's attack WotC!

    Seriously though, none of that matters. Whether it's Thomas, his brother, or his best friend, blatant profanity cannot be allowed to continue to proliferate on the Boards. We have been advised that if the provider sees it they can kick us off of the server, and, to me, that's a more important...

    How old are you guys?

    I'm not the oldest anymore!!! pops open a big bottle of champaign Thanks rkoelsch. Maybe you and Yellowjacket and me can start a Magic team together. We'll call ourselves the "Magic Dinosaurs", or something to that effect...;) I'm 39, BTW.

    Casualties of War - Updates

    I'd almost rather there were more undead running around, but rats are fairly disgusting too. I think they'd work great! There is one thing though. I know we're a little short of common Black creatures, and it would help the storyline along a bit if some of the new ones were human, so more Mercs...

    CPA Voting Issues: Classic Creatures

    I'll be posting this as a Voting Topic in a few weeks, so I thought I'd start a thread here to discuss it. This should actually be a two-parter, but depending on the responses we'll see if that's even neccessary. The topic is Classic Creatures, and what we're looking for here is A) Should WotC...

    Voting Topics

    We've pretty well covered the suggestions Dune collected for the Booth (if anyone really wants to put the Waylay thing up at this juncture please LMK, and I'll figure something out for the Classic Creature question), so I'll re-open the floor for Voting Topic suggestions. We've got 2 new ones so...

    CPA Voting Issues: Best Set

    I did go ahead and change something though. I thought about it and realized that if we have 20 expansions to date, and a 20 item limit for the Voting Booth, it made sense to post it as a vote for the favorite expansion set, and include ALL the expansions in the voting. I'll do a separate vote...

    Let's Trash Masques Block

    But urzas_mistress has a point. Removal overall in MMB is subpar, and big CC creatures with cheap ACC's doesn't necessarily make for a balanced environment. Add to that no dual lands (not even bad ones, like Flood Plain) and you're not really talking about a balanced environment. You're talking...

    ICQ Address

    Jaws, If you haven't downloaded it, you won't have it. It's kind of like IM, but it's better because you can send files and stuff too. You can also control your visibility on it, unlike IM, and, for me, it seems to stop AOL from kicking me off when I haven't changed pages for a while (very...

    Would this be the place to which I submit my nickname?

    Though we're using the Personal Messaging system for them now. Just PM a Founder (like Zadok, or Child of Gaia) and they'll set you right up!

    New Wave

    But that whole issue is water under the bridge, as far as that goes. I had been buying from NewWave previous to that for about a year, and over that time I had spent about $450 there. Doust's loss, I'd say! :D
