Yep.

Copied from my update at TappedOut... Frustratingly, but also somewhat amusingly, my deck has yet to actually win a single game. I do put part of that down to luck, but I think I already see two major points I want to correct. Firstly, Pattern Rector is a hybrid deck and should be able to win...

Attack with everything. That's... 2/3 Catacomb Sifter 2/2 Nantuko Husk 2/2 face-down manifested creature 1/1 Eldrazi Scion 1/1 Edlrazi Scion

Since it would seem too late and I've already been right and properly rebuked, I might as well admit that I did indeed consider exactly that, and dismissed the idea as requiring the effort to remember which fonts are fixed-width, or I guess Google search for that. :oops:

-Kelgar trips and falls into the undergrowth. He sustains damage from the fall (9/19 Wounds) and is prone for the rest of this turn. In order to rescue Kelgar, the party will need to employ either a rope or a levitation spell. -Dorgath's Lifestone of Ashraz restores 1 of his Wounds. -Tomas taps...

Ah, well that's not what I meant. When I prefaced it, the exact phrase I used was "in a given case" and perhaps that's too vague. What I meant that hypothetically, for a specific card, on a case-by-case basis, some combination of those descriptions might apply, or that perhaps there were other...

Looking back over the past few posts, I get the distinct sense that this is probably too messy to untangle. In some sense, I'm trying to isolate the reaction to Academy itself from the other things going on in the game around the same time, and the reality was that the responses people had...

Behold, I have improved on my crude representation of the board state by switching from hyphens as markers for blank spaces to these little box characters. I think that it adds a bit more clarity...

Tomas and Kelgar move forward to support the front rank, with Carrow slipping past the confused Tyresius to attack the branchwraiths with his sword. Jekaena follows hesitantly... BB□B RTDC KO□□ □□J□ □□□Y □□□□ Next turn... -The Power Phase is 1. An Unexpected Event occurs!

EOT, activate Leap on Sultai Emissary, reveal Eyeless Watcher and put it into my hand, manifest a card, scry the top card of my library to the bottom. UUD, Delve away my graveyard to cast Murderous Cut on Spellheart Chimera. Responses?

For which card? You mean just in general? I'd actually agree that those are the two likeliest explanations overall. I can think of individual cards where I think another explanation is a better fit. Case in point: Dingus Egg. It was restricted in 1994 because land destruction was considered too...

Sure, there are more cards now. Different formats too. And now we have MTGO. And there are more players. And Magic theory has evolved. And we've seen power creep, color pie shifts, new archetypes, new ways to play the game... Obviously a lot of things are different now. A simple answer to the...

Hey, let's use Dream Halls as an example! Again! Not sure why I named this thread "Magic Memories: Tolarian Academy" if I'm going to keep insisting on talking about Dream Halls... For a real blast from the past, here's a thread I started in 2004. Now, it's not my intention to call out a...

Nantuko Husk, Sultai Emissary, done. Spidey: 12 Hand: 4 Library: 44 Battlefield: (U,U,U) Mt x3 (U,U) Island x2 (U) Izzet Guildgate (~ ETB tapped.; T: Add U or R to my mana pool) (U) Young Pyromancer (2/1; Whenever I cast an instant or sorcery spell, create a 1/1 red Elemental creature...

EOT activate Leap sacrificing Blisterpod, reveal Sultai Emissary (bottom the other card on the scry). UUD, Jungle Hollow, attack with Catacomb Sifter and two Eldrazi Scion tokens. Blocks/responses?

It does say "choose target permanent." So I'd think it doesn't get around hexproof and shroud.

When I try to talk about consequences, about the effects on thing had on another, it can be frustrating to try to sort everything out. After all, none of these cards/decks/whatever are any more inextricably linked to each other than they are to anything else in the game as a whole. And yet...

Do let me know if that part changes.

Leave the card on top. UUD, Swamp, Catacomb Sifter, Blisterpod, done. Spidey: 16 Hand: 3 Library: 45 Battlefield: (T,T,T) Mt x3 (T,T) Island x2 (U) Izzet Guildgate (~ ETB tapped.; T: Add U or R to my mana pool) (S) Young Pyromancer (2/1; Whenever I cast an instant or sorcery spell...

:eek: Well, in response to Anger of the Gods, I'll sac my Eldrazi Scion, then scry 1.
