    Lions Eye Diamond

    Why, Spiderman? Why shouldn't the new rules allow old, lame cards no one had any use for to become semi-useful? Do you like getting useless cards when you open booster packs? I sure don't. I work hard for my money, and when I spend it on something that turns out to be useless I feel a little...

    Damage Resolution

    Closer to Portal all the time, eh ferret? To your point, Spiderman, as I said in my earlier post, what about the part where creatures no longer in play still deal combat damage? How exactly does THAT make sense? I contend that if a creature is no longer in play to receive combat damage, then...

    New Info!! READ!!

    I made a few modifications to my submission before I re-submitted it Mike, and when I did it at first I thought you meant for us to use the link on the front page like before. My bad. :( Then I happened across the link you want us to use while cruising the site and I submitted it again there...

    Favorite multiplayer tactics.

    Multi-player is great. I tend more toward mass card advantage cards, like Wrath, Winter Orb, Earthquake. I usually throw in a Greater Realm or 2 for the inevitable red or black player, and because it combos well with the 'quakes. Life gain is important in multi-player too. I usually try to...

    ARTICLES, PEOPLE!!!

    I wrote one last night and tried to send it via the web page but it came back "addressee messed up", or something like that. I thought I remembered something about the bodies@rocketmail address, so I re-mailed it there this afternoon. I hope that was the right one. If not, please let me know the...

    [b]I LOVE APPRINTICE![/B]

    arhar, Welcome aboard! :D Near as I can tell, there is no AI to play against in Apprentice, though you can use it to do the goldfish method by choosing the solitaire mode. Personally I've always thought it was better to practice against real opponents though, if you're serious about getting...

    What should 7th have?

    Aahh, 7th... I agree with you guys. BRING BACK SERRA ANGEL! :D The rest of the list: Sengir Vampire Shivan Dragon Mahatmoti Djinn Savannah Lions The Knights, White and Black I feel that these creatures helped define their respective colors, and that the game isn't as much fun without them. I...

    The Death of Magic

    I'm glad to hear that Magic, especially something like the much maligned Urza's Saga, is doing well, though I think a word of caution is in order. Firstly, I'm surprised/not surprised Saga is still outselling MM (or Mercadian Empires, if you prefer). I realize they needed to slow the game down...

    ARTICLES, PEOPLE!!!

    I just got it last night, Orgg. My ICQ # is 60577320. I'm still not sure how to use it though, and it may take me a while to figure it out, but I'm sure I'll get it eventually. I'd love to play you sometime! TomB CPA Member

    The Death of Magic

    Uh, Ferret? New Coke bombed dude. Nobody liked it, and it made the company bring back the old one. Are you suggesting a new format where you can only use, say, pre-5th ed. cards? That's actually not a bad idea. TomB CPA Member

    [b]I LOVE APPRINTICE![/B]

    I got it too, and Orgg, you're right! Apprentice DOES rock! I don't have ICQ, though I'm planning on going there next, but maybe I'll see you on the chat page. I probably won't be on till after midnight though... TomB CPA Member

    ARTICLES, PEOPLE!!!

    Well, now that I've got access from home I'm hoping to put something together soon. Funny thing is, I downloaded Apprentice the other day, and I've been digging into online play for the past couple nights. I agree with theorgg - Apprentice is a blast! :D I'll try to write something this week...

    Houston, we had a problem.

    tournies

    You know, sorcerer, I said the same thing a few years ago, when they started this whole "type X" nonsense, and it hasn't gotten any better since then. Trouble is, type 1 just hasn't been the same since the release of Urza's Saga. The power cards from that set, along with all the rest of it...

    For those who see Pok(gaggg..) in magic

    No, it's Gengar on a stick!!! :cool: Or maybe it's the third time around for the Nether Shadow. With a wand. Or is it a cane? A shotgun maybe? Quarterstaff? Does this mean it'll have first strike? Inquiring minds want to know... TomB CPA Member [Edited by TomB (01-06-2000 at 04:58 AM).]...

    Coming Atractions

    Ihsan, If you're going to be using things like fireballs consider picking up a Drain Power or 2. They're rare, but old, lame, and available, and they'd work well with Fireball, Blaze, and Earthquake. I gotta tell you, though, that it's going to be hard to make that color combo work, especially...

    nuke deck

    The Pony Deck I posted here a couple months ago could be very explosive, but it was actually more of a control deck (w/Wraths, Earthquakes, Disenchant, etc.). If you're into type 1 you could try the classic combo of Mana Flare, Manabarbs, Power Surge, Candelabra of Tawnos, Earthquake, etc. and...
