I have six responses so far, but there's definitely no way that I'll have time to add the points up today and possibly not tomorrow either. Soon though. If you haven't sent in answers yet, you should do so.

One can dream....

"Rath's fast environment" is much slower than what recent sets have generally been providing. It's an exact copy of an existing card (one that was a powerhouse ever since it was printed) with one new ability and a single mana tacked onto its cost. It's not geared toward anything. It's just...

I really like the concept. And I really hate the symbol. The colored backgrounds corresponding to the colors of mana look like crap. And what if someone is colorblind or the lighting is poor? I suppose you could always look at the text box to see the thing saying "X can be paid with either..."...

Really, this has always varied. I remember before Legacy even existed, when some players in Vintage and the old 1.5 expressed the hope that the sets with the new card faces wouldn't introduce anything particularly valuable and that they could keep on using their decks consisting entirely of the...

Necro up six cards, discard down to seven, done. Mooseman: 34 Hand: 6 Library: 78 Command Zone: Crosis, the Purger (6/6, Dragon Legend. Flying Whenever Crosis, the Purger deals combat damage to a player, you may pay 2B. If you do, choose a color. That player reveals his or her hand and discards...

If your metagame is anything like what I've been seeing, Wasteland is so prevalent because almost every single deck uses nonbasics. It can be a problem for tempo (or a bigger problem if the opponent is using Wasteland alongside Crucible of Worlds in the right deck), but the advantage of immunity...

I once played U/G/r Madness in Legacy way back when. I can't find the decklist, though. It's blindingly fast, but a big part of that is Lion's Eye Diamond, and if you don't already have some of those, you're probably not interested in investing in them. LED can cast Arrogant Wurm by itself...

Tap Cavern, Swamp, and Underground River, cast Pariah on Vorosh. Responses?

While I'm convinced that any two of those mechanics could be used together, a 60-card deck using all three would be an interesting sight to behold...

Mono-black? Hm, I don't get it. The card doesn't say anything about anything bad happening if you cast a non-black spell. And this thing is an obvious shoe-in for B/U or B/W. You do use dual lands, right?

I definitely have experienced something like that. However, in this specific case, and in the problem Shabbaman thinks it's indicative of (and if I understand him correctly, I agree with him entirely), there's more to it than that and nostalgia is not really the issue. Now, I can't pretend that...

Untap, upkeep, draw, attack Spiderman with Zur, grabbing Necropotence with Zur's ability, responses?

Maybe so. That's Standard for you. In Legacy, this would be a huge boon to aggressive black decks. I would definitely play it if not for the fact that it will probably cost too many dollars and aggro is for sissies I'd rather work on combo decks. Also, I've been too swamped with school to...

Cards are not discarded from the top of the library. "Discard" in Magic always (except for under rules from a really, really long time ago) refers to cards being removed from one's hand. This is why the dredge mechanic (or cards with similar effects) refer to only to cards moving from the top...

No response.

I don't know anything about Standard, but that doesn't seem particularly novel. In Legacy, plenty of decks could ignore a 5/5 hitting the board. Belcher, for example. Lots of decks can potentially ignore lots of things.

The trample adds insult to injury. Not only does blocking it spell doom for the opponent, but the opponent cannot even chump-block it to buy an extra turn and try to find and answer rather than die. Or at least, that becomes a lot harder (unless the opponent has a 0/6 or something).

You went to all that trouble to win your friends back after you lost them all because you played Vengevine. Now you're going to go Loam on them?

I've been busy with school lately. Sorry for not getting to this earlier. Also for not bothering to come up with a good category... Name 5 video games.
