Just so everyone knows, I'm aware that it's my turn now. I can't take my draw and therefore can't post my turn until later tonight (a few hours from when I made this post) when I get back home.

Denying Wind (like Jester's Cap on steroids)

^ = Vegetable < = Mineral v = Quinta Essentia

I was bored. I guess technically I would be C, although I'd like to think I'm not quite as much of a jerk as that... But every card, except Dryad Arbor, must interact with other cards in order to win. It's understood that cards don't REALLY win all by themselves. They need help.

But it's not Friday! Happy birthday.

This is true, but seems pretty unrelated to what I was saying or really more like expounding on what I was saying. I'm not talking about decks being broken, I'm talking about individual cards being broken. And in my experience, a broken card that is banned or restricted is still referred to as...

Bitter Ordeal

^ = The beginning of wisdom is the definition of terms. < = The unexamined life is not worth living. v = The only good is knowledge and the only evil is ignorance.

If I'd ever seen Taurean Mauler before, I'd have gone with shapeshifters this game myself. :p

Yeah, I dislike the colored artifacts myself, but some of them are very powerful and I'd use one in a deck without any qualms. "Protection from everything" sounds dumb, but Progenitus itself actually looks pretty good. I can see this being used in much the same way as Darksteel Colossus, except...

But if it's banned or restricted, then it's not necessarily going to appear in a deck at all. Hence the example of Channel. Only being available as a one-of means that all the cards that would normally combo with Channel can only do so if you happen to draw into it or have some way of searching...

Untap, upkeep, draw, Forest, Defense of the Heart, done. Oversoul: 18 Hand: 2 Library: 44 In Play: -(U, U) Overgrown Tomb x2 (swamp/forest) -(T, T, T, T) Forest x4 -(U, U) Swamp x2 -(U) Symbiotic Wurm (7/7; When ~ goes to the gy from play, put 7 green 1/1 Insect tokens into play) -(S) Golgari...

Probably not. I mean, if some of the old Soviet bioweaponeers (that didn't defect to us or stay with Russia after the USSR collapsed) are still alive somewhere and we don't know about them and they're willing to sell their services to terrorists, then yeah, it would be bad. And we'd have just...

^ = Wastes time in a pointless thread telling other people to do something useful. < = Wastes time in a pointless thread pointing out people who tell other people to do something useful. v = Couldn't do anything useful, ever, even if he tried really hard.

Lotus Vale

While I don't know the etymology of this peculiar usage of "broken" we use to describe cards, it seems be used to mean "overpowered." Wiktionary has a "sports and gaming" definition for broken that reads... And being overpowered is the main reason cards are restricted. Some cards in Vintage...

While your deck is certainly memorable, I don't think it's really a model for other sliver decks to follow. Either you're doing the 60-card deck thing or you're building a crazy Mythosx deck with every sliver ever printed. I just checked and while the card count for your whole deck wasn't...

That Nicol Bolas planeswalker would tear through an opponent quickly, but it's way too expensive to be viable.

Time Spiral (combo with Dream Halls)

Air Elemental
