I don't know. Maybe. If they were to actually go and unban the card in the next announcement, which they won't, people would definitely try to bring it back in competitive Legacy. But once the dust settled, would it still be part of the metagame? I'd like to think that the card could find a...

For those sick of seeing these threads popping up and overtaking the decks board, this should be the last one. I know it's been a long time since Ankh Sligh existed as a competitive deck, but I'm pretty sure that everyone loves it. So of course, I had to build it in the old computer game...

I built this deck a few years after I'd built the others. I'd been playing some of my other decks and it dawned on me that the card pool had both Channel and Fireball, but I hadn't built a deck with them. I corrected that oversight. I didn't think that the cardpool supported a sufficiently...

Well now, this is odd. Last night, I definitely made a post for my next turn, but it didn't take. I hadn't been experiencing any other technical difficulties, so I'll assume it was a one-off. Well, I remember my turn, so here we go... UUD, Forest, Viridian Corrupter hitting Skinwing, done...

Hahahahahahahahahaha. I actually had a few different stupid combo decks saved for the old computer game. I picked one from the saved decks folder at random to post here. The others are along a similar theme: try to win on the first turn (or after taking a bunch of Time Walk turns, but whatever)...

This might be my most original build out of the ones I made for the computer game. I have heard stories of people using Power Surge + Candelabra of Tawnos. But decks on the Pro Tour? Popular tournament decks? Published casual decklists? I don't think I've seen anything. So I threw this together...

I actually don't remember how I came up with this one at all. I mean, Erhnamgeddon was a deck name based the "combo" of Erhnam Djinn + Armageddon. It was a deck that dropped large, efficient creatures and then blew up all the lands, leaving opponents with no way to catch up. I had definitely...

Yes. Technically it's 1 again. Also, an Unexpected Event occurs.

As the door opens, you see that this room is filled with goblins, armed and ready for a fight. Their shamans ready magic to use against you and the other goblins rally to protect the shamans.

Legacy is still the format that I have the best grasp on, but at this point, there's really not much to say. Anyone with half a brain who looks at the format knows that some of the cards on the list are substantially less dangerous than some of the cards that have been powerhouses for the past...

I forget whether the card pool in the game let me even have access to a straight port of Brian Weissman's "The Deck" (also known sometimes as Keeper). I think some cards were missing. But this was my take on the same sort of spiritual idea as those old decks. Play busted cards, stay alive, don't...

The game had Mishra's Workshop in it. So of course I had to build a Shops deck. Call it MUD, Monobrown, Workshop Aggro, Artifact Goodstuff, or whatever. The closest resemblance I recognized was to "Stacker" decks from the early 00's in Type 1, although it's different in some important respects...

Like I mentioned in the Butter Knives thread, I made about ten different decks in the old computer game. Most of them were derivative of stuff I'd seen in the past. I don't think I actually looked at a real Turbostasis list before making this. I just vaguely remember the concept and threw in...

Oh, forgot this one was today. Thanks, Spidey. Well, it's not surprising so I can't very well be disappointed again. They bothered to mention that they are apparently looking at Vintage, which is at least a little bit interesting.

I was thinking of a song myself, but mine was Bonnie Tyler's "Holding Out for a Hero" with the line "And it's gotta be soon and he's gotta be larger than life." Spidey's song features the phrase more prominently, I suppose. But I contend that my song choice is better.

By the way, did you see the "Banned from Constructed play" post I made? It was inspired by a quote from you, which I just happened to see while looking for one of my own posts when I was writing stuff in this thread. And now here you are! Coincidence?

Huh, I always thought of Zoo as more competing with Survival decks than joining with them, but both concepts were flexible enough for there to be overlap. Don't think I ever actually saw the card in Null Rod Zoo firsthand, but I've seen stranger things. Huh, I guess I did have a similar kind...

TomB's post in the Dark Ritual thread reminded me that I have some old decklists from in the Magic the Gathering computer game that Microprose made in 1996, and I thought it might be interesting to revisit my decklists. I defeated Arzakon, the final boss in Shandalar, way back in 2005, then...

I was surprised that Explosive Impact wasn't being picked and I thought it might come all the way back around to me, but then Turgy shattered my dreams. Man, the rest of these red cards really suck... I'll take Spinning Darkness and Ondu Champion. Uh, Mooseman is next? Black Skitterskin...

Well, if you get (dubious) blame for the problem, I suppose you also have to get credit for fixing it! :)
