Horrible idea #1: Have Mooseman play a deck that looks extremely threatening. When the other players take the bait and gang up on him, he should protest and try to convince them that having everyone attack the most apparent threat isn't actually a good idea. They kill Mooseman (or perhaps nearly...

Grillz - K.I.Z. (2008)

I will not double post. But I will triple post! http://www.classicdojo.org/b985/bif.981203mmc.txt

Since all this Waylay stuff has come up again, I remember that for the article I wrote earlier this year I was looking at the redaction of power-level errata, something I'm a big fan of. I'd thought WotC got rid of just about all of the old power-level errata (with a few problematic exceptions)...

Again, apologies to everyone for saying way too much about this. I am going to go write "I will not double post" on a blackboard one-hundred times... Perhaps. Only if I'm seeing something that isn't there. I want to be clear that I'm not attributing sinister motives to Mark Rosewater. I think...

Haha, I can already tell I'm going to double post again. This thread is just too much. Everyone else at the CPA hates me by now. Here we go... Yeah, I get that. I don't know the full extent of this because it's not very well-documented and I wasn't around to see it, but I've heard stories...

I saw that it was a control deck. Just got me thinking about the "peasant" format and all that. Combo would work here too. Control should be pretty strong in an all-commons format, although 5-color control seems pretty ambitious... Is this the only all-common deck so far, or have you done others?

Untap, upkeep, liberate the poor dwarf, draw, Mountain, tap the Mountain for red mana and use the red mana to hire the dwarf on as an indentured servant, done. Common Pool Forest Waste Away 4B, Instant (As an additional cost to cast ~, discard a card.; Target creature gets -5/-5 ueot) Swamp...

Sorry, that was pretty long, but there were several different little bits and I didn't want to miss anything important. This one'll probably be long too... Uh, what? I don't think so. I said not a bullet point list. Then you said bullet point. Then I said not a bullet point list. Maybe you...

I'll get to the part about reading the article momentarily. To clarify the things related to 6th Edition... It might help if you'd stop strawmanning me then. I've said multiple times, but I'll repeat it again: I'm not making a quantitative comparison, nor do I think it's even possible. Well...

I'll be emancipating that dwarf from the common pool, by the way.

Heart of the Sunrise - Yes (1971)

Your additional stipulation of a 75-card deck would also make it harder to devise a powerful combo deck capable of going off quickly, but I think I could pull it off. My first bet would be High Tide...

Is that what you meant about "substantial" rules changes? In aggregate, there would have been a lot of rules changes between 1993 and 1999. I thought you were saying those rules changes didn't matter, but now I think you're getting at something else... I was saying that the early changes are...

If you search using Google, or better yet the wayback machine, you'll find that discussion on Waylay's erratum crops up beginning July of 1999. There's also this thread: http://www.casualplayers.org/forums/threads/our-first-issue.405/

For Ladies Only - Steppenwolf (1971)

Well, Ed's profile shows him as joining July 28th, 1999. I don't remember all of the founders and some of them were gone before I ever showed up. But I'm seeing that most of the founders seem to have join dates at the end of July. The people I know about with "CPA Founder" as their titles are...

Building all-common decks is tricky.

Shine On You Crazy Diamond - Pink Floyd (1974)

That's interesting. I'm rather obsessed with combo decks and, many years ago, used to bring combo decks to multiplayer games all the time. Despite that, I really think that anyone bringing a combo deck to a multiplayer game, and the same goes for a really explosive aggro or aggro-combo deck that...
