    Er, invective aside, Death Knight, if there's a topic you'd like to see in the Voting Booth, feel free to either post it here, or as it's own thread in the Issues Forum. We'll talk about it for a while, then, depending on the responses, we'll post it after a couple weeks. This is still a very...

    blue

    ...go take a look at the vote now! Blue is ahead in the re-vote by a lot! BTW, I am really sorry about the need for a re-vote. The Booth messed up on me, and I tried to fix it by clearing everything, but in the process I lost the data on the color vote. :( My personal vote was for Red, mostly...

    Foul Beast(will) BEGONE!

    But it is good! Spiff, you're right, Mississippi is spelled, well, like that, but did you know Metamorphosis is spelled like that? :p

    Evil Kebblers

    See, we even agree sometimes ;). I agree with you on the rest of what you said too. I've never liked Repopulate, personally. It's only real use is in a long game, and with a weenie strategy you need to win fast. It might be OK in an Elf/Fattie deck, but in my experience all I've ever done with...

    7th Edition

    I think it's in the CPA Issues Forum. ;)

    Sideboards

    Go with Red stuff that hoses White, like Flashfires, and Blue stuff that hoses Green, like Hibernation. Also pack some anti-Artifact hate like Shatter. Outside of that, without knowing anything about your deck's contents beyond the colors, it's hard to say. You didn't even mention the format, or...

    MBC6 Mungha Deck (Anti-Rising Waters)

    AFAIK, animated lands are still counted as lands, so I don't think they'll untap normally during your untap phase, er, step. I could be wrong, but I don't think their animated status changes that. Bummer, huh? :( Considering the CC's of your creatures, I'd say your mana mix is about right...

    I'm a bad person.

    I guess I understand better now. Sorry Istanbul. From your post I thought you had taken gross advantage of the kid. Under the circumstances you describe, you did the right thing. Better you get the cards at a discount than some corner shop. I don't understand one thing though. If this kid is a...

    Anybody here want to work for WotC?

    Apparently Wizards is hiring! WotC is accepting applications for people to go to work in R&D. The link below takes you to a page with the address to send paper resumes to, and an email address to do it electronically. http://www.wizards.com/jobs/jobs.asp?rnd Good Luck! :D

    The Dark Tower series

    CT, I have to disagree with you (though not entirely) about the WoT series. Yes, it takes way too long for Jordan to write them, and granted, books 5, 7, and 8 had a LOT of filler, but the other 5 books range in quality from terrific to incredible. And I, personally, can't wait for books 9 and...

    I'm a bad person.

    Religious philosophy CT? Damn, and I thought this was a Magic channel. Where's my remote control... Seriously though (and on topic), Istanbul, are you kidding me? You took that kid's whole collection away for 20 bucks? You do realize that's one less potential future opponent for you to play...

    our ferret?

    Actually, igfett, "our ferret" hasn't been around for months now :(. He stopped in once to tell us he'd been really busy, then he disappeared again, into the Internet ether. I imagine he'll be back someday, once things settle down for him...

    CPA Voting Issues: Best Set

    Waddya' mean, tough? It was on the list! ;) Just joking. Hey Dune - I didn't know you started playing around the same time I did. Strange coincidence, eh? You have a point about F.E., though I never really cared for Aeolipile very much, and the Tide was almost useless until the other parts of...

    Critique this T1 Deck

    Where do I begin... Add land. Remove fatties. Burn Lotus Vales. There. That's a start. ;) Seriously though, a 62 card deck with only 20 lands (+4 Dark Rits) is going to have mana problems. And in Type 1, mana problems usually mean defeat, unless you're very, very lucky. I'd suggest dropping...

    Brass Man + Hermetic Study

    This is the deck I came up with based around the Study/Crab combo, modified to an Extended deck when 6th came out sans Mana Flare... Hermetic Crabs 4 Mana Flare 4 Horseshoe Crab 4 Hermetic Study 4 Whispers of the Muse 4 Frantic Search 4 Counterspell 4 Dissipate 4 Incinerate 2 Palinchron 1...

    Brass Man + Hermetic Study

    Since you're running Blue anyway, to pay for the Studys. Too bad Power Artifact wouldn't work on the Brass Man (well, it would, but it wouldn''t help ;)). Maybe throw in Thran Turbines for some seasoning...

    Voting Topics

    Well, I resorted to pulling everything and starting over, but that didn't work either! Now all I get is "RobPoll fatal error" where the current topic should be. Zoiks! Worse, I printed everything out before I did it, but the poll on Favorite Color didn't print right and I lost it. I'm really...

    Voting Topics

    Well, I just tried to fix the Voting Booth glitch and failed. I don't know what's wrong with it, and why it just keeps displaying an old topic, when it should be showing the new one I just re-posted. What I may end up doing is pulling ALL the old topics, and just putting up the new one. I'd...

    Voting Topics

    I think I just found a glitch in the Voting Booth. I just set up a new Voting topic (one we didn't discuss beforehand, but one Chasden should like :) ), but when I looked on the front page the Restriction topic was back! Ironic, huh, considering the discussion going on in another thread. :o It...
