There it is: http://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/feature/fallen-empires-tokens-2009-04-29#image I haven't seen that thing in forever.

Yeah, you're right. I think Fallen Empires was the first set to do that. I mean, they've been doing other stuff along those lines more recently too: the checklist cards for double-faced cards, the Energy counter cards in Aether Revolt, the Monarch cards in Conspiracy: Take the Crown... But...

I've been a bit torn over this one. But it's still very early and I should probably just hold on and see how it goes. For me, with the whole spoiler process they do, very few sets (if any) look amazing right out of the gate, but as more information comes in, stuff that looked underwhelming at...

Nope, somehow lost this one. Let's see. I guess I'll take... Fog of Gnats Fissure Towering Indrik And then someone else is up. Some other person who isn't me. Black Grim Roustabout Rank and File Phyrexian Denouncer Sleeper's Guile Odylic Wraith Barrow Ghoul Blue Roilmage's Trick Merchant...

Who is the target audience for this? Seems like no one is going to buy it. I mean, I don't have a dog in this fight. I don't play Standard and don't really plan to. But I don't feel any need to believe that they are bad at balancing Standard. I don't need to think that they've messed up there...

Block with Porcelain Legionnaire.

UUD, Island, Preordain putting one the bottom and one on the top, Porcelain Legionnaire, done. Spiderman: 17 Poison: 0 Hand: 4 Library: 52 Battlefield: (T,T,T) Swamp x3 (U) Bloodthrone Vampire (1/1; Sac a creature: ~ gets +2/+2 ueot) (S) Gatekeeper of Malakir (2/2; Kicker B; When ~ ETB, if...

If I ever do a High Tide thread, I'll have to talk about "Solidarity" decks, which relied on their spells being instants in order to take advantage of Reset. While Bubbling Muck would probably have benefited from being an instant like its predecessor, for a lot of black decks, it wouldn't be...

Having already started threads for Dark Ritual and Lake of the Dead, I assume that I've made my penchant for black mana acceleration clear by now. Bubbling Muck is a curious case. The card is all but forgotten, and lived in the shadow of the much more successful High Tide. Actually, I should...

I'll sac the Bear.

UUD, Island, Lord of the Unreal, attack with the Bear, done. Spiderman: 17 Poison: 0 Hand: 5 Library: 53 Battlefield: (T,T) Swamp x2 (S) Bloodthrone Vampire[/color] (1/1; Sac a creature: ~ gets +2/+2 ueot) Graveyard: Exile...

Heads it is.

Good game. As soon as I saw Inkmoth Nexus, I was all, "Initiate Operation Kill Spidey Before He Gets Another Flying Blocker." For all the games I've seen played on this board over the years, I think this is the first time I've seen one actually end with a player getting 10 Poison counters. So at...

You've got a point. But because of the nature of that format, creature-based synergies are very strong and being able to tutor for particular creatures cheaply is one of the most powerful effects one can get. Survival is probably one of the most potent cards that any green-heavy deck has access...

UUD, Activate Inkmoth Nexus to make it a creature, attack with it for lethal poison.

Blight Mamba regenerates and survives. Viridian Corrupter dies. Both Germ tokens die. Rot Wolf and Inkmoth Nexus hit you for a total of 3 poison. Second main phase, I tap out to cast another Overgrown Battlement. My hand size seems to have gotten off somehow. Perhaps I didn't lower it last turn...
