    D&D: Horror on the Hill: Beginnings

    Makes sense to me. Or should we search the rest of the arena first? It is pretty big and that may take some time, but you never know...

    Hall of Shame

    I'm up for it. I think I actually managed to nominate a card every time with the old hall of fame. I'll try to do so with this version...

    Yes. I think I said something like this. But if I didn't, well, I do completely agree. I don't think that's what most people would call "vast" but it is, after all, subjective. I think you're reading too much into this. No one's goal so far in this thread has been to develop a comprehensive...

    But even at the time there were other popular cards that didn't get restricted. If popularity alone were enough, like I said, basic lands would have been gone a long time ago.

    Eventide Previews

    So the word "chroma" doesn't actually do anything? The cards with it would be functionally the same without it? It's just there to warn you: you're going to have to count some mana symbols?

    I'm thinking that you're convinced my "view" is more complicated than it might really be. That you've mentioned how up-to-date I am or asked about it so much seem to indicate that maybe I'm basing what I've said on the way things used to be. Is that right? As far as I can remember, things have...

    That's not the definition of "popular." The "vast majority" is necessarily more than 50%. How much more depends on just how "vast" we have to be, but I'd say someone claiming 60% is a vast majority is misleading. It's got to be more than that. On the other hand "popular" doesn't even have to be...

    Old (somewhat funny) article I stumbled on

    Great Wall is #31.

    Old (somewhat funny) article I stumbled on

    I remember that article and talking about all of the problems with it. Of course there's always going to be some debate about the worst card ever, but my vote then and probably now goes to Wood Elemental, which for some reason is only #11. It's certainly much, much worse than Pale Moon. Pale...

    Gas/Oil

    Okay, so it's nothing about the potential energy of the fuel itself, but it's more volume being produced from the cane? That makes sense.

    I know it's not really casual..

    Ponies? One Pony is all it takes. What kind of sadistic monster are you? :eek: It's usually assumed in polite society that one will not be resorting to a deck like that. And while you would win at first, be careful, because if you run into Rhinoseeker, it will run right over that decklist...

    Gas/Oil

    Okay, but then it's definitely not the ethanol that's doing it. Ethanol is ethanol and the chemical is always the same no matter where it came from.

    Gas/Oil

    You mean they use ten times as much sugar cane ethanol as they use corn ethanol, right?

    Deny it all you like. Deep inside, you know the truth. Either you don't remember it or you were absent during that whole episode. Long answer, here's the article I wrote: http://www.casualplayers.org/article/get.php?action=getarticle&articleid=870 (sorry it's so long, but my goal was to...

    Well, an important part is that I haven't been playing Vintage. So I'm kind of an outsider. It's not that I don't take action because I believe someone else will. I believe that it's not my place. Sure, realistically anyone could write the DCI and complain, even people that have never played the...

    Heh. Is that why he no longer works there? :p

    Well, I don't know if the DCI said ANYTHING about why Strip Mine was restricted. They often didn't give any explanation for restrictions back then, but I don't believe it had to be both. Had Strip Mine been popular but not effective, there would be no reason to restrict it because it wouldn't be...
