The problem is that those thieving cards cost plenty of mana. Once they start going off every turn though, it's a major problem...

Okay, Nightstalkers, that's what I thought you meant (and I like that combo too). Sorry, but it sounded weird for some reason... Were you talking about like searching for cards on a computer database or something, in reference for that combo then? That's the part that I was confused on...

Well, from the Ice Age FAQ... "The basic nature of Ice Cauldron is this: you can use it to store both a spell from your hand and the mana needed to pay for that spell. After the spell has been stored on the Cauldron, you can play the spell as if it were in your hand. This mea ns that you must...

Yeah, that sounds right to me. But usually if you're playing in a format with unusual rules (highlander, two-headed giant, emperor, etc.) then there's another name attached to it (like highlander, two headed giant, emperor, etc.) as well. I think of ordinary casual play as still in keeping with...

It is possible to get around it, just very difficult. I think I explained that well enough already though. Sorry if you can't see it... Black rules though.

Not sure what you mean there. I think I do though, but it seems unclear...

You make good points. I just don't like Power Conduit, which shouldn't come as a surprise, since I don't like new cards in general. But Power Conduit I wouldn't like, no matter what set it was in.

I don't know what he means, saying that he and I are the only ones playing broken cards. I think on another post made around the same time as this one, I pointed out that Al0ysius needed sleep or something, because he wasn't making sense. I should have reserved that comment for his post on this...

No, I mean as soon as the Lab player uses Brooch, he/she loses all the countermagic in hand and is only able to use Brooch. You can work around Brooch. It's hard, but unless your opponent can untap it with a Key or something, it can counter a Disenchant or other removal, played during the Lab...

Nah, they're mostly common and uncommon. It's the Dauthi that see the most successful use, oftentimes...

Why would they want a tourney-usable counter mover, though? What next? A tourney usable Ashnod's coupon? Those cards were supposed to be funny. When they print real versions of them later, it ruins the fun... Coat of Arms? Would serve those morons who overuse it right if they'd never reprinted...

Mystic Remora! You keep drawing more countermagic for every anti-blue card they play...

Well, I don't want to pretend it's certain, or even as close to certain as this game can get, but it is rather likely. Of course, it does come down to the player's decisions. And the probable arrangement of the cards in a library isn't always going to turn up. My favorite example is the time...

What are you talking about?

So make him use the Brooch to kill his hand. Then he still has a Brooch, but you can try to work around it...

Chimeras + Lifeline = Big Chimera in multiplayer...

Thieves' Auction could definitely be fun too, although I guess you'd have to keep taking your Mirror first pick... I can see what you mean with Restock, but for the neat little tricks I was thinking of, Regrowth would work just as well, since you only need to keep grabbing the same one card...

Kjeldoran Outpost...

Nothing slows red like... Stasis! No, really, COP: Shadow is useless. But Shadow is not. Hatred or Endless Scream can make big problems for your opponents if they can't kill your creatures. Really, there are plenty of nice tricks you can use. Shadow creatures are basically unblockable, since...

I know, but doesn't anyone get tired of hearing that? I still can't figure out what they were thinking when they made that card. Did they forget that they'd printed Giant Fan in Unglued or something?
