Stronghold wasn't weak, it just didn't have as many good cards as Tempest or Exodus. Nemesis was mostly better than Masques or Prophecy, so I'm not sure why you brought that one up. The others I can't agree more on.

Okay, casually, a lot of players will be playing with legends since there are a lot of them in CoK and BoK. But without that to influence things, this dude would be much better. Once Kamigawa rotates out of Standard (which won't be for a while) I expect to see the occasional player taking...

Some evil person with Wheel of Fortune and Windfall and Lion's Eye Diamond and Yawgmoth's Will and Dark Ritual and Lotus Petal and... Wow, you could build some nasty combo deck in this format...

I think (actually, I would be surprised if it didn't) it still applied. But I never really saw anyone use the card enough to wonder about it...

I don't play Standard, so what happens if they ban all but one of the artifact lands? I know that might look awkward, but wouldn't it be sufficient to weaken the decks that are based around them? Edit: changed "restrict" to "ban"

I really am... ...the very model of a modern major-general?

Wow, if I read the clock on Everything2 correctly, a guy posted a writeup about the card, Counterspell a couple of hours before I finished my article. What an odd coincidence... Anyway, the Counterspell node can be found here.

"That is an excellent idea, Patrick. All right, who wants to assist me in moving them into the other room?"

Okay, I submitted the article. I think it is my best yet (which doesn't make it particularly amazing). Anyway, I hope that I did the italicizing correctly for the article (I don't think I've ever submitted one that had italics before, which might have been because I was lazy). But if I didn't...

I hope you get all those blue cards you wanted...

That is an assumption I see a lot (not that it makes it right). Another assumption is that everyone on the face of the planet is in one of two camps when it comes to US policy (also not necessarily true).

Sure, they really are shows... Why does DarthFerret get two questions?

Thrilled.

I didn't say it wasn't a factor at all. I was merely pointing out that the second was probably much more important...

I know that's what they say now. I was wondering if the text originally read differently (I don't have an English copy of the card). I should have specified that I was talking about "back then" (like Nightstalkers was talking about) before the card had an erratum on it.

I certainly hope not. I do not know if Dark Ritual was ever restricted in the past. It isn't now. The only format I know of it being banned in is Extended (where it is still banned). The deck in question is Necro-Donate. They decided to weaken the deck by getting rid of its acceleration (Dark...

Okay, I've decided that I definitely want to write this article, although I will not be starting it today (which means its proximity on the frontpage to this featured thread won't be so tacky, if you think it would be tacky to have them close together). It SHOULD be submitted sometime this...

Liberal what?

I've never seen this show, but I know Pilau is a beautiful place... Edit: And no, I don't have a clue whether I spelled it correctly. I don't remember how it's spelled.
