You might want to consider switching in Pine Barrens for 4 of the Swamps so you're green mana's a little more reliable. Either that, or maybe use Wills instead of the Land Grants so you can re-use the Dark Rits. Otherwise, it does look like an interesting deck. TomB CPA Member

Hey, what did you guys think about the Baron's latest article? I thought he was right on target with most of it, especially about the "gateway to gaming" part. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who can see the POSITIVES in Pokemon! :D I do disagree with him on the casual player part...

Dune Echo, It seems to me that the inactivity on that other forum is a direct result of our migration here. Without us, and our dissenting opinions, they've nothing left to talk about. :cool: You're right, Chuck, that the time for negativity is past. We've a golden opportunity right now to...

I'm with Chuck (though I'm not too sure about The Magic Jackal, I mean, he not only wins the tourneys he plays in but he supplements his income that way too! :D ). Tournament play is a great way to test your skill, and hanging around at tourneys is a good way to "pick up a game" and meet new...

Gentlemen, Please do not misunderstand me. I'm not trying to destroy this game. I love this game. I'm trying to preserve it, and if I sometimes seem a bit overzealous I apologize. Chuck, I did support my local stores. I bought all my cards there, traded with people fairly, and I always had a...

Rogue Skycaptain might be a good add-on too. You'll have the mana to pay his upkeep, and (theorhetically) your opponent won't. Maybe toss in a Jokulhaups too, or a Disk, in case things get out of control. TomB CPA Member

I think we should set the voting booth back up. Let's set some questions up to guage the feelings of the group on things like 7th ed., for example. Maybe some specifics, like the Gold card question currently in the Voting forum, and perhaps some of the rules we might like to see changed too. I...

Chuck- First of all, I would like to say thank you for your kind offer to host our site, et,al. I cannot tell you just how much I appreciate it. Which is why I really have absolutely no desire to argue with you about this. I do feel compelled, however, to clarify my position concerning the...

I agree, oh Magic one, that change is good, that evolution is important, and that to not change is to accept stagnation. But there's a difference between change, and RADICAL change, especially when you're considering a successful product. If sales are down, and you can't seem to move any...

The best of times...The worst of times... The best had to be the 2nd game of the quarterfinal match of an extended tourney in a local store about 2 years ago. I was playing an extended version of the Pony Deck posted in the decks section, and my opponent (who I had swept in the Swiss but who...

I agree, K1. I usually don't use more than 2, and sometimes THAT's 1 too many. But it depends on the deck. One of those Squee thingies really needs 4, because the whole thing doesn't work nearly as well without him. Same thing goes for a Karn setup, with big artifacts. That this one uses 2 of...

Oh, absolutely, ferret. :cool: It seems to me we've an excellent opportunity to regain all that momentum we lost when the nameless one left us hanging. And my call to arms really didn't include you. Financially speaking, (and in many other ways as well) as far as I'm concerned, you've already...

Orgg, will you be our contact person on this, or will we need Mike's expertise as far as setting up the banner and all? How should we go about setting this up? I was also wondering if there's a way to get some money off by offering to reciprocate with the banners. Maybe these sites wouldn't...

Mike's the best. Without him this place would be nowhere near as cool. It's truly phenominal the things he's done setting this board up, and the Main Page. He's absolutely amazing! Thanks again, Mike, for all your hard work. :D TomB CPA Member

My 1st starter deck, w/a couple of booster packs (a birthday present), included a Serra Angel, who would always come out and stomp my opponents flat, looking hot while she did it. I think, on some level, I fell in love with her, and I feverishly bought boosters (when I could find them - this was...

One more time, for old times sake, Spiderman... Combat damage is NOT an ability, like pinging, or mana generation. It is the result of a hand to hand combat between their creature and yours (metaphysically, of course :cool: ), and as such, should follow the laws of physics, if nothing else. I...

Spiderman, I think you're being way too generous when you say that the Lion's Eye Diamond and Waylay were decent cards to begin with. I've never seen or heard of a tournament level deck that used either one, before the rule changes. Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever seen either one in...

Mike, I've a question about the article submission system. I noticed that the article I submitted no longer had the italics in it, and I was wondering if there's a way to add that, or bold type. How about links? Outside of that, I do think it's a great system, and I should be submitting...

You might want to tighten it up a bit. I notice you've got a lot of 1's and 2's and 3's in your deck, and while they've all got some nice special abilities it's got to be a little frustrating to pull, for example, the Veteran Explorer when you've already got tons of land, and it helps your...

I like gold cards Yellowjacket, and I'd love to see WotC make a few new ones with every new release (or, at least put them into the stand alones), but I think we'd need better dual lands in the Basic set to make using them more viable. It would be fun though. I seriously doubt they'd put gold...
