Despite the poor penmanship, Tomas is able to read the notes. Kind of. He thinks they were written by two different goblins... Note 1 Da boss not gonna pay me til we gets da green roks all in da water. So u better get rid of pesky elves. I make more sik ones n send em in. Da boss gave to uz...

I'm more excited for the new card types, such as "DlIRSTARTlM." :rolleyes:

Price memory is a thing, but in the case of SotF, its price sank rapidly after it was banned in Legacy and it has since climbed steadily. I don't think it's just because of EDH, but given how often I see it turn up in EDH decks, I'm assuming that's a big part of it. The fact that it's a Reserved...

-Lifebringer heals Tomas for 3, Throg for 5, Carrow to full Wounds, and Revaethan to full Wounds. -Kelgar fails to bless anything. -Ty finds a Bone Blade. (The Bone Blade is magic, operating as a normal sword, but once per adventure all of the wielder's attacks can be traded for a special attack...

I keep holding out hope that this set isn't going to be bad, but so far that has yet to be vindicated. In my vague recollection, the fans of Greek mythology seemed excited for Theros. But as a bit of an Egyptian mythology fan, I'm just finding everything about Amonkhet annoying.

Haha, not really. To be fair to the teacher, I think he was mostly just trying to work with what he had, take an optimistic approach to the class and all that. I did see him again, not 20 years later but probably about 10, but didn't bring that class up. My impression was that he was basically...

-The Power Phase is 3 for this turn. -Dorgath's Lifestone of Ashraz restores him to full Wounds.

Did anyone else pick up Commander's Arsenal? I remember it being rather obscure. They made the original Commander preconstructed decks in 2011 and then failed to capitalize on that as an annual thing at first, so in 2012, instead of Commander decks, they released a much cooler product: a box of...

It started out with Heartstone and Ashnod's Altar, but I discovered that, like Enduring Renewal, Sliver Queen was one of those cards that enabled lots of different combos. Another favorite of mine was Sliver Queen + Argothian Elder + Intruder Alarm. The most efficient one I've seen is probably...

At some point, I finished collecting complete playsets of every sliver card. But by then, I was experienced enough to see that just packing them all into the same deck was not ideal. I did eventually build a three-color tribal slivers deck, separate from my five-color combo "SQ" deck. It was...

In junior high school, I went to the "model school for technology" for one of the largest school districts in the state of Washington, so that meant they were haphazardly throwing students into random, technology-themed classes in which we learned to use borderline-deprecated hardware and...

Cycling dual lands are coming in this set. RIP Drifting Meadow, Remote Isle, Polluted Mire, Smoldering Crater, and Slippery Karst. But I like this, and cycling is looking promising, which is cool because stuff like Astral Slide has a lot of potential. Nothing that will create a big...

You guys, sometimes it seems like Turgy is worryingly good at roleplaying a psychopath. :eek: But I somehow got the impression that he was holding off on his ice missiles. My mistake. Revising combat a bit to account for that, he has the opportunity to freeze the goblin boss that would have...

Next round... -The Power Phase is 3 for this turn. The only remaining goblin is a goblin boss engaged in melee combat with Revaethan. Other than the goblin and Kelgar, everyone has taken some punishment... Throg: 5/19 Dorgath: 17/21 Carrow: 14/17 Tyresius: -3/15 ← Needs healing! Tomas...

The elven woman's voice echoes supernaturally through the dungeon again... "This is Jekaena. I blocked them from getting to the fountain, but the goblins are helping them break through my defenses. Stuck here for too long. Can't think straight. Ah, got to evacuate. Please, warn priestesses...

Yep. Although I should note, especially as I've criticized many other changes, that I like the new legend rule much better. Or maybe that should be new, new, new, new legend rule? I forget how many times they've changed it. But yeah, you being able to interfere with one of my cards by having...

Well, this combo sure did get worse in the years that followed.

Oh wow. If this isn't an elaborate and premature April Fools joke, the new masterpieces, the Amonkhet "Invocations" are easily the ugliest Magic cards ever. Lot of good jokes going on about them, at least. But yikes, they sure are hideous.

Soon. Soon. I keep meaning to do it, but it takes a bit of time and I manage to fall asleep when I get home from work. :oops:
