    But no cards (with one exception) can ever win a game by themselves. You're assuming that broken means "wins the game by itself." That's not how I see it used. I did already say that "broken" is slang. I really don't know the etymology of this usage, but I think I have some idea. "Broken" can...

    After damage goes on the stack, I sac by blocking Symbiotic Wurm to Golgari Rotwurm, making BB lose 1 life.

    It was more that the distinction isn't a normal part of the use of the word, so it's a potential subject for confusion. It reminds me of the apocryphal story of two characters arguing over whether a tree falling in the forest when no one is around to hear it (ignoring animals and such for the...

    A real threat to the world

    Successfully making a virus that is so specific would be very difficult. The problem is that terrorists might think they've done so and, if it's deployed, the fact that it kills them just as well as us won't be much consolation. Or they might be willing to deploy it despite the consequences for...

    I used to use Mwonvuli Ooze a lot in a deck that had mana to spare and I am compelled to agree that it is kinda crappy.

    A real threat to the world

    I can see why it'd look that way. :o But actually I was more tired, bored, and unable to fall asleep. Maybe it makes me bitter or something. Yeah, I was captured and tortured by bad journalists in one of their death camps. :p Okay, no, seriously, my main problem is that an article like this...

    So you think that milling yourself is a bad thing? Lots of decks do it on purpose. Typically, it's either all in one shot with something like Hermit Druid or Cephalid Inkshrouder or it's in large clumps with something like dredge cards. The problem with Ertai's Familiar isn't that it mills you...

    Come on, Spidey. You know it's not like that. I did call Time Vault broken and I still do. People call cards broken all the time without specifying the exact circumstances under which those cards are broken. They don't say, "Yawgmoth's Will is broken as long as you have a deck with cheap spells...

    Maybe I'm missing something, but so far I can't find any REALLY bad cards in this set. It's mostly pretty good and definitely a step up in power level from the average of the two previous sets. There are some overcosted or generally mediocre effects, though. I was tempted to nominate Ancestral...

    Yeah, that's what I was getting at. I think Spidey was basically pointing it out because it's another point in favor of just how resilient Progenitus is, but he wasn't positive, so he phrased it as a question. Actually, I'm not sure. Spidey?

    A real threat to the world

    The guy who did it was a bioweapons researcher working for the army, not some random nut working out of his garage. Yep, that's the concern. That assumes that there really even was an accident. The article said there was, but it also got its information from anonymous sources that could...

    Spidey: Are you saying that Planar Void wouldn't remove it from the game if it would go into a graveyard? That is true. Noble Hierarch: Good manafixer, I suppose. Maelstrom Archangel: It already costs WUBRG itself. What's its ability going to do? Play Progenitus? Actually, that could work...

    But it just seems so obvious. No one, at any point, claimed that cards are broken without any other cards at all to interact with. It's just common sense that this isn't the case. How is it worth noting?
