No, that was Legends.

Yeah, since this is highlander anyway, all the best blue and black cards are up for grabs. I still expect to see the other colors heavily represented by someone, though. I'd be worried about me because I have drafted mainly bombs and support for them. But even I don't know what my deck is...

I consider it a mixed blessing. It cleans things up, which is good. But it hurts the handful of people that might have been using Brass Man as a modified Horseshoe Crab. I'm not sure how many people might have actually been doing that (I wasn't--I prefer the real Horseshoe Crab). Probably not...

Jester's Cap: This card's power is directly proportional to the power of your opponent's deck. Even against a deck full of chaff, it can remove the most dangerous cards. Against a tournament deck, you can cripple the opponent by removing win conditions or key removal spells. With a little mana...

I think I can provide a very clear example of such a combo deck for you. There are many different kinds, but here's a very simple one... You might be familiar with the "cycling" ability. If not, know that a lot of cards in the Urza's block sets (Urza's Saga, Urza's Legacy, and Urza's Destiny)...

I'll play the aggro deck and you play the control deck. We'll see who wins... :p

If I weren't me, the only person who would be worrying me right now more than me would be Melkor...

Done.

Yeah, assuming you also had Enduring Renewal...

I have no idea what I just read, but I'll figure it out. I'm in.

Big burn spells can be pretty good... Edit: especially infinitely large burn spells...

I'll let the damage go through and I'll sac the Fanatic to hit you.

I think (it's all quite fuzzy for some reason, perhaps I was traumatically beaten down by this engine...) there might have been something where a combo like that one did work: in Fifth Edition rules. It definitely doesn't work now. I think you may have said you were on a hiatus from Magic for a...

So they did! I guess that's too bad about Brass Man--he's back to being little more than a wall... So they basically cleaned up all the old cards that had activated abilities originally only intended to be used once each turn by changing them to having triggered abilities instead?

Well, I remember that is wasn't there when Flame Fusillade came out, and Crystalkeep seems to indicate that it was last changed in April...

What? There was nothing about an upkeep before. I guess they changed it AGAIN (Time Vault certainly has had more errata than any other card I can think of). On one hand, it solves any problems about that combo being used too much in Legacy, but on the other hand, I'd much rather see the card be...

Well, I was going to vote for Limited, but your list has demonstrated that you will definitely represent my interests... :p

Darthferret: Okay, this is not the infinite combos thread. And you lose two points because you forgot Heartstone's name. :p Lythand: The idea is to mill the opponent to death, not to attack every turn with a Ball Lightning and also mill away a few dozen cards so that your opponent has a big...
