    Hall of Shame Vote: Weatherlight

    Psychic Vortex is not bad. It's no tournament favorite, but there are several worse cards in this set. I guess I just didn't expect it to be winning on a casual site. Don't people have a sense of adventure? It has cumulative upkeep draw a card! Cumulative upkeeps usually suck. This one is good...

    The Year in Vintage: 2008

    I wasn't trying to convince anyone to "care" about Wiktionary. I only used it because other dictionaries don't include the particular "gaming" usage of the word as it's not mainstream enough. This all started because Spiderman cited 13NoVa and myself as referring to individual cards (Tezzeret in...

    Street Wraith: best card ever?

    It was partially tongue-in-cheek. But I think most players would be opposed to calling Street Wraith anywhere near the best card ever. But I said that because it's in an entirely different playing field than other cards. Its effects within a game are generally mediocre, although it might have...

    Street Wraith: best card ever?

    There are no other cards, period, that cycle for no mana (except when Fluctuator is out).

    The Ultimate Battle to End all Ultimate Battles.... until the next one

    *Oversoul takes a fried gerbil leg to the eye and howls in pain. He lashes out blindly with his tentacles and manages to miss everyone. But he does hit the supports for the building, compromising them. The cafeteria begins collapsing.*

    Typo: It's "Mwonvuli" and not "Mwonovuli." [Edit...Fixed! :) TomB] So, a four-way tie, huh? I voted for my own nomination, but I really think this should be between the Sanctum and the Ooze. None of the other cards seem that bad. I also still don't get the whole "none of the above" thing. If...

    Street Wraith: best card ever?

    Yes. Well, I did say something about this, but you only quoted the last part of my post. I said that with one Street Wraith, it's fairly straightforward to evaluate your hand based on the six cards you have plus the knowledge that you have one random card from what's left in your deck. I fully...

    I'm not even really sure what you guys are talking about, but I probably can't do anything about it anyway, so I'll take my turn... Untap, upkeep, draw, Swamp, Penumbra Wurm, done. Oversoul: 18 Hand: 0 Library: 38 In Play: -(U, U) Overgrown Tomb x2 (swamp/forest) -(T, T, T, T) Forest x4 -(T...

    The Ultimate Battle to End all Ultimate Battles.... until the next one

    *Oversoul splashes a cup of yogurt into DarthFerret's eyes, blinding him. He swings a chair at DarthFerret, but at the last second the chair slips out of his hands (yogurt on his hands made him lose his grip). Spiderman's spider senses aren't triggered because the chair changes trajectory so...

    Street Wraith: best card ever?

    I've heard this, but it seems like part of the problem is people don't want to actually think about whether to mulligan and would prefer it to be very straightforward, which for some decks it just won't be (Street Wraith or no). While having 4x Street Wraith really does make it trickier, it's...

    Street Wraith: best card ever?

    I've been thinking about Street Wraith recently and I can't get over how good it seems. Like "should be in every deck I ever build from now on" good. Sure, there are some exceptions, I suppose... -If you're playing Oath or another strategy where having a creature in your library is a liability...

    Hall of Shame Nominations: Weatherlight

    I've never used it, but it looks like it's way too potentially explosive. Reminds me of Songs of the Damned. Sure, it won't do much when you have three creatures in your graveyard. But what about when you have twenty? Blossoming Wreath is no Farmstead.
