I'd say, "there's more to it" but I've already done that a couple of times. I realize I'm touching on several different points here, but I'm trying to clarify what I believe to be the issue with Pygmy Allosaurus, and your comment about the etymology of "dinosaur" is only one part of that. You're...

Bump so I remember to update this thread this week (or really, once I get up today). Won't be home much next week, so I need to get on this already.

Solifugae don't have stingers, but they also don't grow to be 20 feet wide or whatever... Confirmed. I fired up my Pokemon Blue and checked my Pokedex. Pikachu is a "mouse" pokemon. Mice are rodents, ergo Pikachu is a rodent.

We're sharing a graveyard and a library. Perhaps I can will the battlefield into a similarly transcendent state...

I'm not sure what you mean by "it does" since you're quoting something that "it does" isn't a grammatically coherent response to. But if you mean that "saur" is correctly interpreted as "lizard" I think I've already addressed this twice. Yes, that's the usual translation and works well enough...

I'll sacrifice Sewerdreg to Phyrexian Ghoul.

To be clear, I am not saying that "terrible lizard" is an inaccurate translation for the term. I'm saying that it was a label devised by men who incorrectly thought of dinosaurs as lizards. For example, lizards walk with their four limbs spread out horizontally, whereas dinosaurs don't. But back...

I was referring more to actually figuring out what to include in the deck in the first place than to acquiring the cards. Building decks is some great arcane puzzle and building highlander decks is even more daunting. Obviously not everyone feels that way, but I do.

I'm jealous. You finished building a Commander deck. How'd you do it?

Remind me to PM Spidey about sending him the next installment.

You asked for it, and the spammers delivered.

You say that, but this is possibly the greatest CPA article ever. The only flaw I can think of is that your deck still needs 53 more cards.

Kind of. Without nerding this thread up with too much biology, I'll just put it like this... People have been able to find dinosaur fossils throughout human history, but they used to come to unscientific conclusions like that they were the ancient bones of giants, dragons, or other mythical...

The top of the CPA homepage shows a new comment by Spiderman on the new Sheepangelball deck article, but because Spiderman disabled comments on articles, I can't actually see his comment (or any other comments on any articles).

I agree that botching the "human" part of Yavimaya Enchantress isn't comparable to the revision of Pygmy Allosaurus into a lizard. I brought it up because they're both cases where a creature type on a card was blatantly incorrect. They're the same in that respect, but that's where the similarity...

It's legal in the U.S., so long as one isn't using a computer to do it. Alas, I never leave my computer.

Deicide

Good thing I remembered to submit Part 4 before I went to bed! It had slipped my mind all week. Anyway, the order of cards has obviously been rather haphazard here, but this new installment has some of my favorites: the worst misprints in Alpha, and some of Magic's most notorious cards. I'm...

Human druids with pointy ears?

Many others have made Magic's nonsensical taxonomy the butt of jokes. I've certainly done so myself. Pygmy Allosaurus is probably the most egregious erratum in this category. There were already lizards at the time the card was printed. It wasn't one of them. But the great creature type revision...
