"Well, this is a nice door. Hmm, and it's not trapped either..."

Well, she's pretty good as Homelands goes, but I'd call Merchant Scroll the best card in the set (and it's still not all that great).

I think most people have tried to avoid that kind of logic ever since InQuest famously applied it to Dream Halls... What was it they said? Something like, if you pitch Llanowar Elves to play Verdant Force, your opponent will just do the same?

Spreading Plague is lots of fun...

On Kermit, what is X?

What if I don't have a wallet or my wallet is empty? Oh well, it's Unglued-like anyway, so it doesn't have to make perfect sense...

As long as your opponent doesn't start crapping out creature spells, this is a 2cc 3/3 goblin. Mogg Flunkies was good enough and this (better) thing is probably too good...

I like the art too, but Standstill has done some amazing things, and it just draws three cards. This sucker blows that out of the water. It's broken.

Way broken. A 5cc 9/9 trampler that you don't want to use alongside other creatures. Two Dark Rituals and this guy hits on turn one. If your opponent has no removal, he swings for 9 on all of your subsequent turns. I am not sure what deck would capitalize on having something like this, but it is...

I didn't know individual players were plural, then changed to singular, then became plural again... Also, what are the top fifteen of their library supposed to be? The top fifteen non-land cards? The top fifteen semaphores? The top fifteen mana? The top fifteen giraffes?

I know what seppuku is. But shouldn't the person in the picture look more--samurai-ish?

Well, the mana curve for Ice Age block isn't particularly higher or lower than it was when the format was new (as far as I know).

If by "nice" you mean "totally mediocre" then yes. I think I have all of those cards and use none of them... Even in Ice Age block, they aren't particularly great. Serrated Arrows might be useful as creature removal in the right situation, but it's still not all that good... Merchant Scroll is...

Well then. Have at thee... He doesn't seem to mind, and if you don't care to challenge yourself with a more difficult "target" (whatever that term is supposed to mean in this context) that's no one else's problem...

No need for a spamming contest. Certain people will do enough damage as it is...

Autocrat

But as we've seen, the intent behind these bannings was not to make the format as balanced and healthy as possible, but to convince all the people that had quit or were thinking about quitting that they made sure there won't be any Affinity problems. It looks like they used similar reasoning...

I think the idea is that it's something you might not realize you could do. It's a very situational "trick." This doesn't mean it's actually all that useful (let alone good).

I guess you COULD look at it that way. That doesn't mean it is a particularly great idea. Firstly, the imagination that goes along with a game is not the same type of pretending as using proxies. They are only related in that they are both "pretending" which is not much of a connection. And...

I think that many of them don't see the younger/newer players, and because many of their friends have quit, and fewer people in their own age groups are joining, they get the impression that Magic is now less popular. I don't know how many casual players this happens with, but I have seen it...
