Interesting you said that, Baron. I mean the part about the sets they pulled not being the source of the broken-ness that is/was Extended. You're right. It's the new sets over the past year or 2 that screwed up Extended, not the old stuff. And I agree with your viewpoint about Extended being...

As I mentioned on another thread, I've played a few other CCG's besides Magic, like Shadowfist (it's coming back!), Star Wars, and Battletech. Currently, my boys and I are getting into Pokemon. I've always enjoyed video games, though I'm not really up on the newer ones. We stopped buying...

Dune Echo, I played in a few 1.5 tourneys in the old days (when people were actually interested in playing 1.5) and I'll guarantee you that ALL the card sets were legal. Mana Drain was a prominent feature in my Howling/Orb/Vise deck, for example. If you don't believe me, check it out with WotC...

Ferret, Type 1.5 is just like Type 1, except they ban all the cards from Type 1 that are restricted or banned. In other words, it's Type 1 without the P9, or any of the other neat things restricted in Type 1, like Balance. Legends have always been welcome in 1.5, just not Legend cards on the...

Oh my. I forgot about the Howling Mine/Winter Orb decks. We won't need to worry about Black Vise, as it is restricted in Type 1 and banned in 1.5, but without ANY decent artifact mana in 1.5, and Underworld Dreams (God, is this card going to have a renaissance if anybody starts playing 1.5...

Of course some of us have "Types" when we play, Ferret. Not all players who identify themselves as casual play with decks containing every card they own. Some of us like going to store tournaments to compete "casually", and others of us just like meeting new people to play with at events like...

Waubers, I hate to disagree with you, but 1.5 will, in my opinion, be dominated by Necro decks featuring 4 Ivory Towers and 4 Underworld Dreams. Just imagine how tough that will be to play against. And just as we knew when this Alliance was formed, the DCI and WotC do watch what the pros say...

Hey guys, check out the new restricted and banned list, here at: http://www.wizards.com/sideboard/article.asp?sb19990901a I've only taken a quick look at it, but 2 things jumped out at me right away. First thing is the things banned and unbanned from 1.5 as a result of the Type 1 changes. You...

I think you're probably right, Ferret, about not expanding our CCG coverage just yet. To be blunt, the other CCG's I mentioned have neither the following nor the issues that Magic has right now. In fact, I was more or less wondering if there might be room for them somewhere on the website as a...

Waubers, I think you are right that a re-issuing of the P9 would result in their losing some of their resale value, but the more I think about it the more I wonder if it really matters. Not all that many people are currently interested in playing Type 1 anyway. I know I almost always have...

Now for the second half of my reply... ...As far as I'm concerned, Unlimited means without limit. To me, that means we'll keep printing 'em as long as you guys keep buying 'em! Because of that, I thought the Reserved list should never have been issued. Since it has, Wotc could get around it by...

Nekrataal, I think you're right on track with what you said about WotC and the future with Moxes, et al., except for the part about the older cards retaining full value. Ask anyone who's been in the game a while about their Legend Spirit Link's, or their Killer Bees and Carrion Ants, and you'll...

Put me down for a vote in group 1. 666e Waylay pre-errata turned a useless card (from a tournament perspective) into a decent but not overpowered card. I think they should have left it alone. TomB CPA Member "I do not teach. I simply reveal." -Daudi, Femeref tutor

Please, no more errata. 666e was supposed to make all of this easier to understand, and play with. You shouldn't need a book to look up the current wordings on all the current cards, much less all the older cards too! This game is getting harder to understand and play, not easier. TomB CPA...

Just for fun, I put together a deck of all the commons from Urza's legacy (there's 11 in each color). I added a 12th for each color by including an uncommon (Ghitu War Cry for red, Radiant's Dragoons for white, etc.) trying to keep the choices in flavor, and added land to make a 100 card deck...

Doncha' just love 666e? TomB CPA Member "I do not teach. I simply reveal." -Daudi, Femeref tutor

No, no, don't misunderstand Zadok001. I very much appreciate your clarification, and I have to admit I never really thought of the ruling as a replacement of the damage prevention phase. I was under the impression, though, that the First Strike ruling was handled a lot like Waylay, in that it...

The stack gives me a headache. Was this presented in the initial release of 666E rules, or was this an add-on? TomB CPA Member "If a person with multiple personalities threatens suicide, is it considered a hostage situation?"

Good Question. According to the new rules, shouldn't it? Would the first strike damage matter? If it was instead a Phyrexian Whatsis (you know, the one that sacs for -3,-3) in combat with the White Knight (and the pro black Sleighted to something else, of course), and if the damage was put on...

Hey, I have an idea. I always thought that Sneak Attack would have real good synergy with Greater Good. Why not splash red for that? If 5 mana for 6 cards is good, 1 mana for 6 cards is better! TomB CPA Member "I do not teach. I simply reveal." -Daudi, Femeref tutor
